Title: Gridseed Miners Not Accepting Shares
Post by: taskforce81 on August 10, 2016, 10:37:12 PM
Hey Folks, Noob here... Anyways, I finally got my gridseeds setup and had a successful trial run with bfgminer mining WildBeastBitcoin... I ran them for about 11 hrs and each of my 3 Gridseeds accepted around 200 shares... I was pretty stoked just to see them work... Now my question is this, I try mining less difficulty coins like DigiByte and BeaverCoin and I cannot get my Gridseeds to accept any shares... I ran them for over 8 hrs on a popular DigiByte pool and they never accepted a single share... Am I missing something?

So I started up the .bat file for WildBeastBitcoin again, and first miner came online within a few minutes... The first Gridseed started hashing at about double the average rate... Normally get about 350 kh/s and the first miner always come out pegging over 700 kh/s... When the next two miners finally come online they are always about half the normal rate @ about 175 kh/s... Eventually they all simmer down to the same 350 kh/s average after a while... Just so everyone is update on my small setup, I am running (3) 5-chip Gridseeds with a powered usb hub and a 12v 5a switch power supply with a 4-way splitter...

Same thing again, I can connect to my WildBeastBitcoin pool thru bfgminer without a problem... I've tried to mine BeaverCoin, Viacoin, DigiByte, and even tried mining on a an auto-switching pool and I can't get them to go... Bfgminer shows my miner's are hashing, my red LED's are blinking correctly, but my third column in bfgminer which shows the connecting hash rate and accepted shares never moves... Like I said earlier, I am a NOOB and could use a little help... I hope everyone can kind of understand my issue with my simplified observations... I am not familiar with all the technical terms yet... I tried adding a screenshot of my bfgminer running, but I cannot figure out how to do that...  ???
