BTW - 350 was a bust using cgminer... it went "sick" after about 15 minutes.
328 seems stable and generates 1.3MH on my Fury.
Waiting for cables to see if the 350 problem is the provided power supply or not.

Has anyone compiled cgminer & used it on Linux? It seems like everyone is either using the Zencontroller or Windows. I have it compiled but don't have my miner in hand yet to try it. What would be the proper command line for running it in Linux vs Pi/Windows?
Yep... running it now, testing out a clock of 350: --- #!/bin/bash # set the worker name and password for your mining pool WORKER="Cassey.`hostname`" PASS="pass" OPTS="-S /dev/ttyUSB0 --nocheck-golden --chips-count 6 --ltc-clk 350 --api-listen --api-port=40113 --api-allow=10.184.155.0/24" # enter pool URLS in format URL:port URL0="-o stratum+tcp://mine.multicoinpool.org:3310" # formart worker strings S0="$URL0 -O $WORKER":"$PASS" # concatenate command to run CMD="/cgminer*/cgminer" RUN="$CMD $OPTS $S0" # echo instead of running, if for testing purposes echo "$RUN" $RUN ---- API stuff is so that CGRemote can monitor for me.

what pools are people having success with? WeMineLTC seems to keep kicking me off every 10-12hrs. If you can post if your pool is working good or having problems and ill keep a list updated of everyone's recommendations here.
Zero problems over at http://www.multicoinpool.orgWorked with both Zenminer and now with cgminer 3.1.1 Cassey |

How is everyone's "Discarded" shares looking on the zenminer page? After running overnight mine are double the accepted shares.  The poolside hashrates seem to be fairly accurate though. Honestly, I'm not sure what that number actually means. The option "no-submit-stale" is not enabled, so I don't think it has anything to do with locally discarding shares that are determined to be stale. Thoughts? Be nice to get the HW error count as well. Oh, by the way, for those of you who don't see your pool stats - log cycle. I was showing a friend the setup last night and log cycled and voila! There were SOME pool stats (not HW errors). |

Both GAW and Zeus have updated the Power Consumption. Falcon is now at 1040?  ? That is not going to fly. And WOW! What an update. Zeus has more than doubled their power estimate/MH, in one case almost tripling it - and they recommend 20+% higher wattage power supplies than their specs. Good news: GAW is whipping Zeus on the price of the Fury vs. Blizzard (which appear to be identical boxes or nearly so). Zeus also appears to have rather seriously revamped their product offering, dropping several models, varying a few others... Black Widow looks like its going to need a price adjustment to stay in line. This is an amazing world we live in! |

Man those numbers are high.
I am doing 10mh at 167 watts on 2 gridseed blades and 1 gridseed 5 chip . and one of the gridseed blades is defective . I should be doing 11.0mh
but I have a 1200 watt plat seasonic which is more efficient then your psu. still you are 3.4x the power for 1.5 x the hash
Something is wrong with the firmware these miner should be at much lower numbers.
I am doing 16.7 watts an mh with the gridseeds
Which raises the $64M question: Do our GAW miners use the same chip as the Zeus? Odd they were both released within days of each other, at similar price points, zenminer supports both, but the GAWs power usage seems to be twice what the Zeus advertises (I haven't seen if they are actually delivering on that advertisement). Some have been guessing the same chip, but different board designs? If so, there might be hope for a firmware patch to greatly cut the power down. |

Thanks for posting the zenOS screenshot - your getting more information than I am. Mine stops after the MAC address, with no pool information. Alas, I'm not using "clevermining" though.

where are instructions for the fury? mine didnt come with any, is there a pdf with them or some where? or am i magically suppose to figure out how to set up?
Did you get the zencontroller? Instructions were included with that. If not, search the forum for cgminer instructions, its been posted a few times. Hopefully the new forum Josh mentioned will go live soon and we can post the instructions in the FAQ. Cheers, Cassey |

Yea it's odd I have 3 of the damn things but none of them are registering....how long did it take the site to recognize your miners? I've been trying to activate mine now for like 10 minutes =(
Moments, like under 1 minute. |

[and once it is resolved, if it is something a user can fix through configuration, etc., could you post it on the zen discussion thread? this'll help anyone else who may run into the issue and can ease support. maybe zen gets a wiki or something for this type of stuff so eric doesn't have to sit on bitcointalk after we compile some good ones.  Hopefully the new forum that Josh mentioned last night will support both GAW equipment and their partner, zenMINER... Guessing we will hear more about that in the coming days. |

When DHL finally quits bouncing my shipment all over north america and I get my gear, can I do either one of the following options: - flash the raspberry pi o/s and GAW cgminer software to another card and hook the furys to that and run them off of wifi?
OR - hook everything to the linux system currently running my 3 gridseeds via wifi, download/compile/install the GAW cgminer, and run everything using wifi off of that?
And, most important, if I do either of those 2 options can I expect any support from GAW or is the zenminer route the only one GAW is going to be supporting? Again, thanks to everyone who offers help and suggestions. I really will feel better once my shi.... uhhh... stuff gets here and I can finally get this going. Regards, Chris There is no reason you can't burn your favorite Linux distro on an SDHC card and replace the zenminer one. That is all the "personality" the PI has. I run two PIs on a custom Gentoo Distribution I built. No issues. I would suggest you burn a new SDHC so you have the zenminer one to fall back to. |

Actually, could you include at least the coin being mined? I know performance can change based on these things and I definitely want to know if it is picky like the Gridseed chips (i.e., my blades like LTC but hate DOGE, meanwhile my 5chips are happy on any old multipool). Compiling a list of the friendliest 'Coins, or even pools, for the chips performance-wise would be a good thing.
FYI - I'm pretty happy with both my Gridseeds and Fury over at www.multicoinpool.org. Daniel, the sysop, has been coding like crazy to turn his site into the "Burger King" of pools - you can do it your way! He has normal userid/password mining, profit switching mining, exploratory coins (assign your miners to work just certain coins), BCT address no-account mining, autotrading via Cryptsy (with Poloniex support coming soon). In any case, I'm obviously a fan and enjoy seeing him improve his site. |

I've taken note of your findings and forwarded it to our developers. Leave it to Chrome to save the day And to forums for helping find solutions! |

Zenminer questions:
I have two pools defined:
stratum+tcp://mine.multicoinpool.org:3310
and
stratum+tcp://mine.coinshift.com:3333
It appears that the miner is round-robining based on very quick data I'm seeing. Is there anyway to specify failover behavior? Without that, sites like betarigs is NOT going to work... reducing the potential payback of our rigs a lot.
Also curious if we are going to be allowed to tune our rigs via clock settings and the like?
Is it the goal of zenMINER to accommodate such things, or is the target audience just the plug&go crowd? (In which case we would just need to use zenMINER as a firmware update site).

Just an FYI in case anyone else is experiencing it: I am having login problems at zenminer. Registered yesterday and activated my controller, set up pools, etc. Can't get logged in today. The login screen just sits there doing nothing, not complaining, not logging me in.
I have e-mail support@zenminers and PMed their rep here.
Anyone else having similar problems?
Yes but only in Firefox. I logged in no problem with Chrome. Oh! Bless you! I'm in via Chrome! |

My Fury was just delivered, about 2.5 hours after it hit town per the DHL site.

Things are a bit weird still over on zenminer. I registered yesterday and it found my controller... but now I can't get logged in. If I try and reregister it tells me my userid is taken. If I try to login via userid or e-mail, it just sits there - no error, no nothing. Running an activate does fine my controller though!

How is the ZenContoller going today?
Believe they posted a schedule yesterday. Everything is suppose to be back up at 11am, but I don't recall which timezone that was in. I noticed their webpage was at least back up! |
