What about instead of using a Raspberry, would it not be an idea to run these on like the cheapest Intel NUC ?
those NUC like run something like 15watt
The NUCs don't come with anything.. I am rolling the dice with getting a zbox id81 plus http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-id81-plus.htmlFound them for $199 so seems worth it instead of slapping an old power hungry pc together from spare parts I'll report back once I get it and set up 20 gridseeds with it True the NUC doesn't come with anything except the processor, but trow in a 64gig ssd, some ram and you have decent something. but anyway i've got a brand new laptop that I can put to use, with an i3 and 15" and it also just uses 15w and paid 280$ for it. Just less practical than a box that you can put in a corner |

Well I decided to jump on the boat with Noblecoins and bought myself some coins on AGX, I wish and hope a great succes for this noble coin
Welcome to the team jamieb81! We are glad to have you :3 Thanks!  |

Blackcoin has been through so many PnD and yet it still manages to retain it's value while also increasing in a slow manner. It truly is an amazing coin to invest in and you would be a fool to not buy in when you can with the price it's at. A year from now my only regret is that I didn't buy more.
l cross my fingers that your prediction is true |

I'm new to soldering, does the type of soldering/flux matter? Heat? Any other variables that I should know about before attempting this? I picked up a soldering gun today but haven't talked myself into opening the package yet... Weller SP40NK. Comes with a tiny coil of lead-free solder... Any advice appreciated... And to those who would advise me be not to this... I appreciate your advice, but probably wont take it  did ask this similar question, hope you will get more answers than I did |

Yeah not so good that there is not yet a pool where you can at least register so that's done.
|
|
|
|
|
So where's a pool we can mine at?? or will this be revealed at launch?
|
|
|

Okay, thanks.
So the question still remains. Is it advantageous to do it that way or to have each miner reporting separately to the pool to there be added up and tallied?
I mean, is it more profitable to combine total hash rates etc. at the origin point (local) or at the receipt point? Or does it matter at either way?
Does one method make more money than the other?
That's the point of this discussion, after all Wink
Wolfey2014 it's all going into the same wallet eventually so I don;t think there's any advantage to having a worked for each GS instance - unless you like to see the difference in has rates and it can be dramatic - I have 20 works set up for my 20 GS's and that has rates can run from 260 up to 415 sometimes. Right, thanks! I can see the same results 'averaged out' on my litecoinpool.org gui. rates run anywhere from 238 on up to 545KH/s at any given time. Average for entire group (6) runs around 2130KH/s. I'm seeing averages per unit at round 400+ a lot of the time. So I'm good with it. So it would seem that one method is not more profitable than the other, so far. I wonder what others' experiences are though. Anyone else want to chime in? Wolfey2014 Here is some very thoughtful and well-researched analysis of cgminer vs cpuminer pros and cons: That's just a pitch to the unwary to sucker them into using cgminer. IMO, cgminer and bfdminer are still too much of a pain in the ars to use because they are line code intensive and you have to learn coding, albeit a somewhat higher language than assembly. Still, so much to memorise. Check the threads on them. You'll find tons of config errors, troubleshooting and very few are actually running stably with them, without having to babysit them. Skip all that mess and just use cpuminer if you want to get up and running in minutes instead of hours ,,, or years  !!! Scrap that other stuff and use this,, only... http://cryptomining-blog.com/?s=Download+cpuminer+for+Gridseed+5-chip+GC3355+ASICs+with+Reduced+Power+UsageGood luck! Wolfey2014 Good to know, as I'll have only 4/5 GS guess I'll just use cpuminer |

sure I get a few HW errors, but my reported hash rates are higher so I'll roll with it.
higher hash rates = more moolah!
moolah is good |

I have a very thin tip 40watt soldering iron, will this be ok to put some lead on the tip and make the bridge between points? or 40w is too much?
just crank it up to 900 - I have forget that soldering thing - unless you wanna take the chance of nuking $250 850 seems to be the best when the GS is stock, 900 stock you get HW errors no? |

I am so happy to get rid of the controllers. I had digital timers turning the power off every 2 hours for 1 minute to reset all the miners. CGminer has been flawless so far. Time to start soldering.
so what are you running all these on? just connected to powered usb hubs and then on a pi? or a pc? I have had 0 issues running them off my Debian 7 Server and Cgminer. Only one GS for now, but I have a hub waiting for when my next set comes in(will only have 4 total). I have a very low watt (15) asus laptop with win8, I also plan to use 4 or 5 miners. So one good powered hub hooked up to the pc with the GS's on there will be fine I guess? ( my questions may sound stupid to the "pro's" but yes I'm a total novice in this ) |

Hey just a little question, how much watt solder iron is ok to use to make the bridge, I have a very thin iron but it's 40w ?
I want to put a little on the tip of the iron and just gently put some lead between points to make the bridge
thanks

When you specify the address of the mine with the possibility of registration?
I would want to know this as well. I guess they have not set up anything yet because alot are going to solo mine this coin at start |

just because there are more people with a gpu than there are with asics? hah!... dream on kids! cryptocoins are in real money range now. real traders came in, real big companies are investing millions and probably even hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment and you think gpus are the future? ahahahhahahaha
that being said, i do believe some small market for the other algos will always exist because always small hash miners will still want to make a buck or too. but it won't get volumes. and if it gets volumes, asics will rape it... you really think it's impossible to make an assic mine scrypt-n or sha3... daydreaming in my opinion
Exactly! too much money that is going to be made as well on the coin side as hardware side, both sides don't want to loose part of the cake |

I joined in to AGX as well, hopefully will get a big platform  |

I'm mining there, great pool with no fees  |

It just occurred to me. Wouldn't it be cool to have, as an option, all miners locally combined to equal one big hashing miner? What ever the number, you have them combined so they all receive work and report completed work 'yays' to the pool? Instead of the pool seeing 10 different miners and combining and averaging them on that end, do it locally and have the pool see only 1 miner that is the equivalent of 10 hashers-hashing Hah! Gives me an idea for a Christmas carrol. Right, I know, it's way too frikkin early for that crap! I wonder if this would yield higher overall completed shares? Anyone hackers out there interested in trying out my theory? Just an idear! Wolfey2014 [/quote] I have thought about something sililar yesterday. Someone said that the miners run so cool that you would not even need fan nor heatsink, having just the board would also save up alot of space. It would be awsome to find a way to connect for example 5 of these board together so that they work as a unit. Like 5 Gridseeds, just one usb cable that connects them. Someone that could do this could make like a gridseed V2 @ 2000KH/s this would be amazing |
