Title: Raspberry Pi and Gridseed 5
Post by: EastonCoinz on May 11, 2015, 04:47:21 PM
Hello all,

I currently have a gridseed 5 running with Minera running to make LiteCoins on a Raspberry Pi. However, for a long time now I've been looking to find a way of mining BTC with Raspberry Pi and the gridseed or even setting something up to duel mine or just be able to switch between SHA256 and Scrypt. I know about Hashra and it seems absolutely ideal, however everywhere I go says to download it from hashra.com which hasn't been working for a long time and also with this I really need an SSH login with password. From this is there anyone who knows what I can do to get the Gridseed mining BTC and even perhaps the ability to switch from BTC to LTC as in hashra.

PS:
Does anyone have a copy of the latest hashra???

You can do it with your Minera too, you need to use this cgminer fork https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cgminer

Build it in your Minera system, then copy the binary "cgminer" to /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom directory (with a different name like cgminer-gridseed), go to the settings page and enable it under "Custom miner".

Finally you have to setup it with this option: --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=800,chips=5,modules=1,usefifo=0,btc=16

Or follow this post, section 5A.2 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494625.msg5448813#msg5448813

EDIT: Here is the binary built for Minera: https://mega.co.nz/#!ucEGkBJC!3fdUPgjrubnF59-CUvVKw2aNTWTxu9Rg6jWxXJduEpM (https://mega.co.nz/#!ucEGkBJC!3fdUPgjrubnF59-CUvVKw2aNTWTxu9Rg6jWxXJduEpM)

Hello there,

Thank you for the reply, I hope to have the Gridseed working with the the tutorial that you linked to soon :)

As for a rely to where the best place to buy the Gridseed in Europe, I got mine from Ebay second hand for £20 but apart from that I'm not too sure where you could get the Gridseed in Europe as I didn't really shop around too much after I saw the Ebay deal on the Gridseed I now have. Sorry as that's not really of much help to you probably :(

if you wish do state how many btc woth or dollars or euros or cents worth you do per day on that but you invested like 0.4 btc on that and its like 0.01 btc per day eletricity no? maybe you get like 0.02 max if you trade that alt coin to btc well do take a look at the eletreicity lol
