I'm trying to build the gridseed fork on a Raspberry Pi. I already have the standard bfgminer built and running on this RPi, controlling Bitfury and BFL hardware. When I try to build the gridseed fork, though, it fails on link:

Can you advise me a pool with a low difficulty like that I can test? I am on multipool https://www.multipool.us/

Thank you for your help

I use www.BTCGuild.com ...very professional and difficulty starting at 2. Slush's pool (mining.bitcoin.cz) has an autodiff that will set based on your hash rate.

so are you saying with a lower hash rate you're disadvantaged at slush's pool?

I based my original expectations on he 1 month calculation at bitcoinx and they said with a 190 mh/s has rate I could expect about $14.90/day but on slush's pool I've been averaging almost $20/day - so are you saying I might do better at btcguild based on the fact I'm a really small fish in a big pond?

I agree. I am on both for SHA, and ScriptGuild and Multipool for Scrypt. Multipool recently raised their default difficulty. IMHO they are alienating the little guy. I have six USB Eruptors, a BE Cube, an a Antminer U1 for SHA-256. For Scrypt I use a pair of AMD 7770, a 5650, and a 260x. Only the Cube can handle the Multipool's new difficulty and even then barely.

Please post both your startup and your configuration file. That way we can help you.

For scrypt, if you want a decent pool, use scryptguild.com (an offshoot of btcguild, run by the same person). It's starting difficulty is 16 and I'm pushing about 100 kh/s and making diddly squat, but it's more fun. there is an auto conversion from the many alt-coins to bitcoin, or you can keep your different types of coins...

Hi,

I uninstalled Zadig, and after it still didn't work.

I added -S antminer:all on my start script, and it worked

Can you confirm me my worker is working? I see nothing on my pool's website, and got a lot of "requested work update"

Thanks

You aren't sending any accepted shares. Are you working on a pool that has a very high difficulty?

Can you share you start script? It almost looks like you still have --scrypt in there and are going against a SSH-256 coin? Is that possible?

I will put here my start script as soon as possible, but I don't remember putting a --scrypt inside, there is something like : bfgminer -o pool -u user -p pass -S antminer:all, but I confirm you that

Long post deleted after I found the answer in another thread.

For those who saw the original, I needed to add

-S gridseed:/dev/ttyACM0

to the bfgminer command line to tell it where the miner was. Autodetect does not seem to find gridseed miners in linux.

Any chance we might get AntMiner S1 control via bfgminer and MuM Huh

You can already control it (and any other RPC API miner on the network) with MultiMiner. You just need to configure it to allow API access from your IP. From looking through the MultiMiner thread it seems like you already have that working. AFAIK there is also an update for the firmware that makes it work properly with stratum proxies. What features are you looking for that are missing?

I do plan to work on native BFGMiner support for the S1 but I'm not sure that will change much for MultiMiner.

Can someone point me in the direction of that firmware, am on antMiner_openwrt20140207.bin which is the latest I can find and I get 100% Errors.

Thanx

jeez man calm down... a few points here...

1. Your'e posting in the BFGMiner thread about CPUMiner... shouldn't expect help, but people here are trying to help you anyway.
2. You're being pretty rude to nwoolls who's the guy who coded Gridseed support in BFGMiner. If anyone can help you, he can... show some respect and maybe he can help.
3. Why don't you try the BFGMiner version with Gridseed support that nwoolls made... it could help you with your stability issues and get rid of some of your obvious stress.
4. How about get a beer, calm down, and then try writing a post that doesn't bite every hand that tries to help you.

This is NO HELP!
DELETE!

wolfey which version of CPU miner are you running, I use the version that shuts down the BTC portion of the chip so it only runs Scrypt at around 7 to 9 watts been running my first 5 without issue 24 7 second for a week set of 5 arrived yesterday and will hit 24 hours of running with no issue in about 4 hours.

two things I have found,
1:don't point more than 3 to the same worker or hashrates get screwy. as a matter of fact I have a 1 GS to 1 worker right now.
2:gs will give funky results if they are not powered up correctly 12 v first than the 5 v usb.

running at 850 mhz on each.

I just clicked through all the menu pages in AntMiner S1 LuCi and I can't see how to "configure it to allow API access from your IP."

There's no such option AFAIK. I had to edit /etc/init.d/cgminer to open up API access on my Antminers...details here:

Is there any way to set seperate workers for each device?

Run multiple instances of BFGMiner with different log in stuff for whatever pool you're using...

The reason im ask is my effective hashrate is really low with 40 gridseeds. Any ideas anyone?

I'm seeing the same issues, drop offs in reported hashrate, some devices not seen when started, some going dead after a few minutes. Review my post above for a temp solution until BFG 4.0 comes out. (sorry Linux only)

Yeah this describes my issues well. Sucks cause i got excited when i saw 15mh from 39 units but the effective hashrate is only 11.45mh

And I thank you for your support, appreciate your many contributions, including this new 5-chip device.
I have tried both pre-compiled windows and Linux, compiled by me from your branch. It will work fine with a few, but not with 20+, it's all over the place, and fails in ways I have mentioned. I must have misread a post about a 4.0 version coming out, if that is not the case I stand corrected.

There's definitely a 4.0 coming - I was just stating there isn't some fix that is planned for 4.0 that is being held back now. Right now I am planning on BTC and Dual Mode support. After that we'll reevaluate how stable things are and I may have to work directly with folks with larger supplies or try to work out some way to reproduce the issue.

Absolutely - BTC and Dual Mode support are planned before GridSeed support is official. What exists now is just a preview.

Have you tried BFGMiner on Linux? Your above post indicated that you downloaded a Windows build, had issues, switched to a different app and Linux and had success. It may have been the switch to Linux, not the switch in apps.

I am currently the one working on the GridSeed support. While BTC and Dual Mode support are still planned, I'm not seeing any issues like you have reported. On the other hand I am not testing with 10 and 20 and 40 devices, only a couple and both from the same reseller.

Basically there is no "until 4.0 comes out" as there is nothing yet planned to address these issues. I've got a couple of these running for days at a time on Windows with no drops in hashrate, no issues discovering them, etc.

And I thank you for your support, appreciate your many contributions, including this new 5-chip device.

I always prefer Linux over Windows for mining, and only use a Windows miner as the last resort until I can get something figured out or working under Linux. I am not a programmer, but I will compile and tinker with any and all hints I can find to get things working. To me that is half the fun. What I do know is that I have a working solution now, maybe as a programmer and understanding code better you can see what he is doing under the hood and incorporate it into your branch as well? (https://github.com/dtbartle) Whatever is fair as open source goes.

I have a small gridseed farm would these drivers allow me to run BFGminer 3.10.0 windows 7 64bit with 2 instances of Bfgminer for dual mining. Any help would greatly be appreciated Thanks all

There's only support for Scrypt mining with the 5-chip GridSeed units currently, and it's not official yet (you must compile from a Git branch). There is support for DualMode with the 1-chip DualMiner sticks though (still unofficial, still requires using a separate branch).
