I'd highly recommend Minera for your gridseeds.
Also, keep in mind the difficulty has skyrocketed since 2014, so you should set it appropriately on the pool side.

I get:
[2017-10-22 14:00:52] Started cgminer 4.9.2
[2017-10-22 14:00:57] No devices detected!
[2017-10-22 14:00:57] Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit
[2017-10-22 14:00:57] Need to specify at least one pool server.
I assume hot plug means to plug in the Pac2 while everything is powered up and running. I tried plugging after I ran cgminer in Terminal, and I tried plugging it after this readout popped up. Nothing changed, either way.
You need to tell Minera to use the custom cgminer. Goto Settings > Custom Miners and you should see a row with the custom miner. If you followed the code you pasted, it'll say "cgminer-vthoang" Here's a screenshot of what mine looks like. I called it "cgminerg" but that shouldn't matter.  Once you have that setup, you need to tell minera to use it. Scroll down to the local miners and choose the [Custom Miner] entry. Enter the frequency in the Manual Options.  (Again, yours should be "cgminer-vthoang" whereas mine says "cgminerg") |

Your code above should work - do you see the miner in the custom miners in minera?
Note that you enter this in SSH, not through minera.
You need to SSH into the minera Pi and enter these commands.

thank you for that. my other carer, who's my first carer's friend, is a builder and knows about electronics, but not bitcoin miners, hopefully with my knowledge of miners, and his knowledge of electronics, we can do something with it.
Basically you'd be looking to make it so it draws less power, so you could run the rans at lower speeds, while not messing with the hash rate too much. Also, Sidehack himselfs sells modded S7s that run much quieter: https://asicpuppy.com/magentoPuppy/index.php/antminer-s7-sidehacked.html |

cgminer stopped supporting GPU mining after 3.7.2 - you need a different mining software or an older version of cgm

You can mine it solo a couple ways: 1) ViaBTC - just set the pool to Solo instead of other payout methods  2) Local to your wallet - Easy to setup I also have a private solo BCC pool setup. Pretty easy to set one up too. |

OK I ask for help and you try and bitch me out, would you not consider the page 1 opening post to be a manual ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173963.0). You fuck face, try harder. I fucking hate people like you in so-called support forums. What does your cgminer screen look like? Post a screen shot so we can see. Do you have a Compac (and not a 2Pac)? |

Your computer is likely not able to generate a high enough difficulty share to be accepted.

I just hooked up a s9 Antminer and cannot get worker state to turn on my account eventhough the miner has been mining for a couple hours. I do have the URL correct and the worker correct in the miner. Please assist it may sound like a crazy question but I cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance.
Post your Antminer status page screen shot so we can help |

Thank you to everyone, who replied! Rabinovitch, can you send me link for the BOINC project? I want to read about it and to share the recources of my Samsung if possibility to earn sth. I would be happy even with 30-50 USD per month with my 3 years old laptop.
That's not going to happen. Your laptop will not earn you any money at all with mining. |

I may open up orders in a couple weeks, when I'm closer to manufacture (or have already started). I'd like to be a little farther along than I am right now. I currently have exactly two complete prototypes, the firmware is still a work in progress and I don't even have a final BOM laid out yet to get cost estimates.
very nice I want a few of these. will point them at mmpool.org Same here - except i'll point them to ck's solo pool and hope the nonces are in my favor. |

I feel dumb, but I've been going round and round with my new 2pac for hours. Admitted noob. Received stick miner 2pac and powered USB hub with usb fan for cooling. I am on my MacBook pro and can't seem to get it to recognize the device. Having trouble with configuration as a result.
Tried running the code mentioned in the Q&A and it did not resolve. Getting varying messages when I run MacMiner. What am I overlooking here? My software is pointed at the correct mining pool address and when it connects it says No Devices Found. I have been digging through pages and pages on here trying to figure out what's wrong. Can anyone help with this specific issue?
The instructions in this thread cover different flavors of Unix and Windows. If you're looking for easy, you should run Bootcamp and install Windows in it, download the binaries on the first page, and go from there. If you want it to run natively on your Mac, you need to build the version of cgminer from the source code linked on the first page. This requires some comfort with software development tools. You could also install a linux variant (like Ubuntu) on Bootcamp and run that with the instructions. Most of the people in this thread run it on raspberry pi. |

They're fun to learn about mining and ASICs without investing a ton in hardware.
They also work great as a solo lottery, or to mine altcoins.

Can you just plug these into a standard USB port on any PC machine? Or do you have to have a special hub like some people in this thread are suggesting?
You can run this at the default setting on a normal USB port. If you want to overclock it to get that extra 2-3 mh/s, you need a powered hub. |

I am getting "--gekko-comp-freq: unreconized option any ideas?
Re asking question, I ran it from cmd prompt to read the error.. is the parameter - re-read the first post |

Nowhere near enough information - you need to list an area (city, state, country, region). Does the space exist already? Does it have enough power to supply to the hardware?
All those impact the cost.
I saw a warehouse for sale in Washington for $1,000,000, that had pre-negotiated power costs and was all setup for up to 1 MW according to the listing. In that case, seems you could install your HVAC, networking, rack, and hardware and be good to go.
Other spaces need additional wiring to support the capacity, lots of construction work, etc.
