Do you really need the fans if you are going LTC ONLY mode?

nope check out https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5491441

I also just got a picture of 20 gridseeds running in a 2U case with no fans! (on the gridseeds) the standard chassis fans did all the work.

Waiting on permission and I'll repost.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. If you would put them on their side, so the airflow can get through the fins easily, you could probably put 4 rows of 15 miners each or so in a 2U case with some high speed fans Grin

No need to put them on their side if you run in scrypt mode:

bobby35ny is running 10 gridseeds with the fans removed in these cases as pictured. *this case won't fit a standard atx PSU.

I run my 10 in a rosewill 4U.

If you haven't seen it already, please read this very thorough and complete guide from miaviator
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-gridseed-gc3355-5-chip-setuppowerwindowslinuxrpi-by-unicornhasher-494625

Many useful information about running the units without controller on Windows and Linux.

I have yet to receive my unit but I'd like to prepare.

Does the controller have to be wired or does it work on WiFi? If it needs to be wired I'll have to cable up the space where I'll put it.

Wired -- standard cat5 network cable.

Crap.

Is there anyway around this?

Bought LA3M and because of home situation can only use wifi connection....have no access to router, cables, etc.

Over and Over and Over.

You use the router as a wireless bridge.

I use one on my laser printer and I have used 16 to wire up a condo complex with wireless bridges on the ceiling

Sorry for the newbiness of the question, and thank you for taking the time to address it nonetheless. it's really very appreciated.

So to mine all on computer I have to use 20 instances of CPU miner?

We can do dual mode this way right?

Windows or Linux?

Thank you! finally I can test these gridseeds I have. If anyone is interested I have some for sale and I can get more shipped by air out of China.

Any multipool that is preferred?

I tried Waffle and Middle which were "OK" and now HashCows, but even with my LA6M crappy performance (Somehow are unable to get hashes over 2MH/s total), i got only 0.00096357 BTC for 12 hours.. Should be around 0.024-0.030? Something is not right, still no idea what..

I'll try to up the hashes next week when i have the original USB hub and gridseed controller in.. Hope i get near 6MH/s total then..

(I do get near 4MH/s when plugging miners in one by one and let them settle in between. However, it reboots not long afterwards.. When it comes back, i get maybe 2MH/s max, and some won't start hashing..)

Could there be another reason besides the controller FW (RC1) and usb hub? Replace USB cables?

Andre

How many controllers are you using? And, are they LightningASIC versions or the generic Gridseed version? If Gridseed, did you upgrade to 2.0.2? These answers might help in figuring this out.

I ordered LA6M, so i have 2x LA3M. Indeed LightningASIC versions.
I do have a gridseed version coming in for a friend, i'll check that controller and USB hub as well. (Didn't receive a hub with my order somehow, the generic i have i'm not so sure off)

It could be there is something wrong with HashCows, because i had also a 740KH/s GPU pointing to it, but the profits were not enough for that amount of hashing as well. (Should have result in 0.010 or so at least)

Hopefully the new FW will solve most problems, at the current status these are not even beta units..

Hello

I have gridseed with their generic controller. I can access the controller with browser however i can not get a seed to hash. I see some said to upgrade the wiibox firmware? Can someone point me in the right direction to get these to work? Thanks I am testing these so I can bring more in and distribute them.

Even if I use your exact setting I don't get any activity. Have never seen the top two images you show. http://i.imgur.com/Nj4YfnL.jpg
