Trying to get minera to play with some gridseed blades here
Unfortunately, they don't run well with cpuminer, I've tried it on a few setups with differing cpuminer versions. Often not detected and often run slow if they are. Minis ran fine on those setups :/
The blades do run okish with bfgminer on the hashra thingy,
When I try changing minera from cpuminer to bfgminer (I'm setting the scrypt option and freq at 650 as I've undervolted) it crashes and burns. I can't even log in via terminal after doing that let alone the web interface. I would really like to know how to unscrew it in config files as reburning a whole image is a getting very tedious...
Any clues as to why it is crashing and burning would also be greatly appreciated. While I'm not expecting it to mine perfectly first go at settings, not even being able to log after changing to bfgminer is making it tricky to even get running...
Burns? What does it burn? Please paste the exact bfgminer config or cpuminer you use and explain what burns 'cause that's not absolutely regular.
'Crash and burn' British expression meaning it all goes very wrong. I have a cpuminer setup of my own that runs minis perfectly for months at a time. My blades just don't like that, they often aren't found and most that are don't run at full speed. I was trying 825MHz on standard blades to start with.
With minera, I tried dropping to 800 on standard blades, 650 on undervolted, but everything else standard. Changing to bfgminer and setting the scrypt option means minera no longer boots. I can't log in from web or terminal. The only way I've found to fix that so far is to flash the image again. I've spent a while rummaging through your files, but haven't worked much of it out yet.
BFGminer does work in Hashra.
Check you are writing configs in the right places.
I was changing to bfgminer in the web gui. It reliably stops it doing anything. It takes me 7 minutes to reflash the SD after each go, and I can't see anything obvious wrong. I've been using settings that work with hashra.
I have just got it working with cpuminer for some blades. it seems the combination of cpuminer, gridseed blades (but not minis), pis and d-link 7 port hubs is a bad one. I have one 49 port block erupter hub which is currently running fine with 10 blades and minera/cpuminer/pi. If it's still going in the morning, I'll put 6 more on it. I don't want to buy more of those hubs, they usually cost '$$$$howmuch!'.
I know there is a 32 device limit for pi's, so it currently looks like I'll have to run some blades with Hashra as I have 40 blades + 2 dozen minis and plenty of d-link hubs.
If anyone is running Blades, Pis and Cpuminer I'd love to know EXACTLY which hubs you have.
