Is there a way to launch all 50 miners at once or am I going to have to create 50 different batch files for each miner? and do I have to create 50 different workers on 1 pool or can I just point them all at the same worker?

The easiest way is to create a start-miner.bat file with this contents:

echo on
mine.bat stratum+tcp://[pool].com:[port]


Then create a second one called mine.bat with this info:

start C:\Users\username\Desktop\cpuminer-GC3355-win32-fixed\minerd.exe  --freq=850 --gc3355=COM1 --url=%1 --userpass=user.1:x
start C:\Users\username\Desktop\cpuminer-GC3355-win32-fixed\minerd.exe  --freq=850 --gc3355=COM2 --url=%1 --userpass=user.1:x

etc. This will launch a separate command window for each minerd process from a batch script. If you want to switch pools, just edit the start-miner.bat file and put in a new pool, instead of having to modify each line of your mine.bat file.

I think on the first page of this thread at the bottom someone mention a version of cgminer with a link.

I have 12 just need to hook them up I can't wait

I can't wait to order more for myself. Plan on doing a similar setup on windows 8.1 though.  Wonder how that will work.


Please post your results, as I haven't needed to setup Windows 8 yet, but I may in the future.

Also--it looks like somebody has gotten cgminer to work in LTC mode with BTC disabled so you don't need to run cpuminer. Here's the comment:

If you don't want to run a bunch of cpuminers, I have posted modified cgminer sources to allow LTC-only mode: https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355. I have this running on a Raspberry Pi with 10 devices.

what thread does this come from exactly?

You can just click on the Author's name, but it's from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5534302

Awesome. I just ordered 10 of them from ZoomHash. Hope it's as easy a setup on my windows 7 machine as it was for you!

Great job.  Could you  post a close-up picture that shows the AC connection of the psu and the connections of the Gridseed units to the psu?

Thanks in advance.

Sure.

Sure. Initially I had the box fan on the top of the rack pointing down, but then it occurred to me that heat rises, so I'm basically fighting against physics. I moved it to the bottom blowing up and now more of them stay cool.


Thanks!!

Very nice! Is the Fan sufficient for the three-storage-high rack? The top are also cooled???

I ask you this because one of my Gridseeds came with a Fan that does a annoying noise....I am thinking of replacing it with a standard one...

If it worked for zeetak then it is good enough for me. waiting on ebay funds to clear and I have will have 20 to start. I have a similar rack also lol. Awesome setup zeetak.

The top ones are cooled currently. The bonus of having the fan wires disconnected on the miners is that you can just lay a box fan directly on them, and it'll probably work fine.

After a day of these units running I got sick of the noise of 49 small fans, so I disconnected the individual fans and pointed a box fan at them. Now they are running silently and are only slightly warm to the touch.  The only sound is the power supply fans kicking on every once in a while.

Can you post a picture of it with the box fan?

regards,

P.
