I've been mining CasinoCoin for only a short time (CPU Only because it amuses me) and my records show that I've got over 10,000 shares via dutchpool.org but nothing has appeared in my wallet for 3 days.
Does that sound normal for CasinoCoin?
I'm a bit new to crypto currencies.
They are a p2pool node. p2pool uses it's own share chain so you cant compare the shares in your miner to the pool. Also, it appears as if their CSC p2pool node is operating on it's own! In other words it is not connecting to other p2pool nodes for combined hashing. I would ask them to fix this or look for another CSC p2pool node that is connected to the other p2pool nodes. Until they connect to the rest of the CSC p2pool network you are essentially solo mining. At your hashrate you can expect to find a block in 21d 21h 51m 42 s according to their frontend. One tip...since you are CPU mining I would suggest append "/0" after your username/address if you choose a p2pool node that has faster miners. It will give you the lowest possible share difficulty. You can find more info at this FAQ: http://xpool.net/faq.html |

woohoo this coin is moving on cryptsy today  Yay, had some nice movement...but it also brought in an attack...timewarp again. Stuck at Diff of 110 with reported network hash of 15.8 GH/s  |

I dont know why people have not developed On top of Cgminer?
What do you mean? There are plenty forks of cgminer that support gridseed. However, cgminer is not running very stable for most people (correct me if I'm wrong here). The most popular cgminer forks are from dtbartle ( https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355) and girnyau ( https://github.com/girnyau/cgminer-gc3355). If you search you will also find Windows binaries for these. cgminer works great with gridseeds on Linux! It's the way it handles USB on Windows that is the problem. I switched from Windows because of this. Resisted for years but am glad I did. The learning curve is medium to high though. cgminer was forked from cpuminer. It has advanced quite a bit and I too feel sandor should be building off the latest version of cgminer with scrypt added back in. He's not kidding when he said he feels like he is reinventing the wheel  That being said I have been using sandors cpuminer for the last day with great results so far! Don't let the one forum member who is very vocal on his preference of cpuminer convince you that it is better. cgminer is generally far better than cpuminer. I have witnessed a general pattern with this forum member on various topics that his way of doing things is superior to any other way. He adds value (in his own way) so I resist hitting ignore on his comments but it has been a great exercise of restraint to not respond to some of his posts...LOL. In life we learn to deal with people of different and sometimes combative/strong personalities so it's all good.  Cartman is right. cpuminer is superior to cgminer, obviously, as it forked from cpuminer in the first place ;p!  No, really. I have only ever stated how much I LOVE cpuminer and anyone using it will surely agree, especially now since Sandor111's recent upgrades to it as the request of several other users on here who also feel it is the best of all the other programs. I am entitled to my opinions and assertions etc. It is clearly up to each individual to make up their own mind, of course! But, in my optinion, if you decide to just trust and go with cpuminer, you will have made a great if not perfect and totally 'safe' first time decision! Especially if you are a noob! Trust me on that! As to the rest of Cartman's comment, 'why, what ever do you mean?' ;p OMG, LOL! How'd you catch that before I deleted it...  Here are my results of using sandors cpuminer. You can see a much lower (perhaps over half) DOA/stale rate:  http://xpool.net:9555/static/ |

I love CGMiner, but the main intention was to build a Gridseed miner for Tp-link 703N/Wiibox, it had to be faster and consume much less memory than CGminer and able to run many (100+) miners on a single instance to combat the limitation of 32MB of RAM, but I ended up adding a lot of stuff to it that I hadn't planned for, for the better. Oh yea, forgot. Heh...keep up the good work! |

the trick is in the wiring!!! looks clean as a whistle but lets see how you deal with the snakes! Yup! Still waiting on some parts. Will update with pictures after...wish me luck! GL & stock up on twist ties! I'm more into Velcro Temporarily wired up half the case. Didn't use any zip ties/Velcro since final wiring will happen when I rack it.  More pics |

I would like to see pics with it all wired up. LOL, I knew someone would call me out on that! Still waiting on the barrel plugs to come in on the slow boat from China (just tried tracking its latest location and the map literally shows it on a boat). Ended up getting copper 16 AWG wire. Also need to buy some wire strippers or borrow a co-workers. Have 18 AWG DC pigtails I might use if I get impatient. Also have 6 way splitters for scrypt but need to cut one open to see what wire gauge it has. Temporarily wired up half the case. Didn't use any zip ties/Velcro since final wiring will happen when I rack it.    |

I LOVE that new build of cpuminer Sandor. The gridseed I just got today and modded has individual cores sitting nicely at 1250Mhz, 1275MHz, and 1300MHz.
If you could manage to do a 'summary view' with data at the top like cgminer I think it would be absolutely perfect. May as well call it Seedminer at that point too.
I'm working on a miner summary similar to what the pool dashboard looks like on LightningAsic firmware. Great news sandor111! cgminer is a fork of cpuminer so you might want to look at some of their earlier changes for the TUI. BTW, I tried compiling the latest version on Ubuntu but get an error: sudo git clone git://github.com/siklon/cpuminer-gc3355.git
cd cpuminer-gc3355
sudo ./autogen.sh <-error here
On a separate subject I just started trying this but I actually think it might be more profitable for me to dual mine since I pay a flat fee for electricity and am not close to my quota (16amps). Will post my findings if anyone is interested. Try chmod +x ./autogen.sh && ./autogen.sh Thanks! That helped. |

Left part is BFGMiner, right part (after 5PM) is CPUMiner.
Notice the difference in rejected shares, nice huh?
Very nice! Going to try getting this working again tonight. Anyone know how to get a list of USB devices on Ubuntu so I can list them on the command line? sudo ./minerd --gc3355=/dev/ttyUSB0,/dev/ttyUSB1 --freq=800 --gc3355-autotune -o stratum+tcp://pool.com -u user -p x ^does not work for me  Thanks but that returns only the 3 USB ports on the computer....not the 20 miners. I'm at a loss :/ $ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/ttyUSB2 Edit: Figured it out. Turned out to be --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM0,/dev/ttyACM1,/dev/ttyACM2,etc after all.  |

This is the second such service I have seen. How are you making money? Are donations enough to cover expenses? Also, the skeptic in me wonders if these services are packet capturing data....

Vendor B: 13817/500= 27.634/per Mh There is also a 500 Mh/s miner (from another vendor) supposedly shipping shortly after the 300 Mh/s one for $13,817.84 ...if either one of these ship on time then   Wow, who is vendor B? Hadn't seen that yet. The max I had seen was KNC with 300mhs per device. Or do you mean mining asic technologies with 2x250? Yup, didn't want to post other vendors in this thread as I thought that might be bad form. |

10k is much better but just for comparisons sake: LightningAsic: 9999/60= 156.23/per Mh Vendor A: 9995/300= 33.32/per Mh Vendor B: 13817/500= 27.634/per Mh If you started mining NOW it may take about 3-4 months to break even...a month from now maybe 5-6 months. If the 300Mh/s miner ships July 15th as some say it will then There is also a 500 Mh/s miner (from another vendor) supposedly shipping shortly after the 300 Mh/s one for $13,817.84 ...if either one of these ship on time then |

Making cables myself...tedious work.
Cables to power 11 Gridseed USB Mini's in dual mode.
IBM power supply watts: 835w max. 80% of full load = 668w. 11 Gridseeds dual mining = 660w (60w x 11). 66 scrypt only mining = 660w (10w x 66).
IBM power supply amps: 69.0A max. 80% of full load = 55.2A. 11 Gridseeds dual mining = 55A (5A x 11). 66 scrypt only mining = 43.56A (0.66A x 66).
Check my math but I think that's safe. Don't think I could fit much more than 11 16awg cables into the Offset Terminal Lug so it worked out. Have 1 to 6 splitters
Have you ever measured temps on the cables? How would I go about doing that? Have an IR temp gun but it only registers a 1 degree fahrenheit increase from ambient on the positive wires running scrypt. (est. 10 watts per miner. 106 watts at the wall using a kill-a-watt. Think the PS by itself pulled 15 watts or something) In the picture below I have 10 miners on the IBM PS and 10 on the old PS's provided with the miners. The cables provided with the miners are 22-24 gauge (my gauge measure only goes to 18).  |

Nice, but as everything is so small in there. Isnt it difficult to do it? Little...but not owning a solder gun or even having used one in over 15 years I had to get creative  |

Hmm, cant get it to mine. Tried: sudo ./minerd --gc3355=DEV0,DEV1 --freq=800 --gc3355-autotune -o stratum+tcp://pool.com -u user -p x ..can't find miners. Tried: sudo ./minerd --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM0 --freq=800 --gc3355-autotune -o stratum+tcp://pool.com -u user -p x ...same Tried: sudo ./minerd --gc3355=/dev/ttyUSB0 --freq=800 --gc3355-autotune -o stratum+tcp://pool.com -u user -p x ...finds miner but never accepts any shares :/ Tried: $ ls -la /dev/serial/by-path/*

Only lists 3 even though I have 20 miners? |
