Santor I dont quite get the syntax on the settings for freq
--freq=850 --gc3355-freq=/dev/ttyACM0:900
Why is freq 850 used then 900
Thanks
--freq=850 is the setting the clock speed for all the Gridseeds. --gc3355-freq=/dev/ttyACM0:900 is setting the clock speed for a specific Gridseed. If you have multiple, you can set them like so: =/dev/ttyACM0:900,/dev/ttyACM1:850,/dev/ttyACM2:950 You can use either. I don't know what'll happen if you use both though, presumably the --gc3355-freq is more specific and will override whatever is set on --freq. If this is the case, you can set a default clock speed for all the Gridseeds and override a few that need to be set differently. And if you want to be more specific, you can set the frequency of a specific GC3355 chip: --gc3355-freq=/dev/ttyACM0:900,/dev/ttyACM0:875:4 -> that will set the frequency of chip 0-3 (0-3 & 5-39 for G-Blade) of the miner @ ttyACM0 to 900, and chip 4 will be set to 875. SandorII thanks for the hard work on the miner software. Just updated to the version before this one, and it made a huge difference on Windows. What the Miner said and what the Pool is reporting are Much closer now. Quick question, on Windows the above would be freq=\\.\com3:900,\\.\com3:875:4 ? and is autotune going to get that specific when it tunes for best freq?? Again thanks..El |

The amount of power plugs (or barrels) which you can connect is directly determined by the amount of watt you have available. (Amount of watt you have) divided by (the amount of devices you want to power * the watt each requires). If the result is less than 1.00 then Bad. If over 1.00 then Good  Thanks, Ok so lets just say I have 1200watt available .. What I was asking is will 1 single 6PIN Pcie connector going into 10 Barrels -be sufficient for 10 v3modded grids? Since they are like 20-25watt each thats like 250watt max On a single 6PIN, .... I have a few here that came with my grids, 1 PCIE (6pin) going into 10 barrels, but this was created for unmodded pods which is why i am not sure if we can still plug 10 in if they are modded. Single 6-pin PCI-E Connector is rated @ 75W ...12V power delivery...about 6.5 Amp = 3 OC gridseed... Single 8-pin PCI-E Connector is rated @ 150W ...12V power delivery...about 13 Amp = 6 OC gridseed... Hope it helps, buddy... ZiG I keep hearing this and I need to once and for all get pure clarification about this - I have heard exactly what Zig has said any times so Thanks zig , But this is where I am totally confused, I am a GPU miner recently moving to mostly asic with some GPUs left for N-Scrypt, My Peak GPU rig was 2 x Motherboard with 7 x 290x on each 14 x 290x Cards and most of them OC = LOT OF POWER DRAW lol , now this theory of 75 & 150w I cant help but think this cannot be correct. heres why, I have tested 1x 290x on 1 Single PCIE which branchs off into a 6PIN + 6+2Pin and I am talking these are on day and night non-stop and this is just over 300w with a some minor OC - 1 single 290x overclocked can suck more than 300w On its own.... Infact I have heard of OC 290x sucking as much as 360w On there own. And this is all coming from 1x 6pin and 1 x 8pin Power[edit] All sizes of ×4 and ×8 PCI Express cards are allowed a maximum power consumption of 25 W. All ×1 cards are initially 10 W; full-height cards may configure themselves as 'high-power' to reach 25 W, while half-height ×1 cards are fixed at 10 W. All sizes of ×16 cards are initially 25 W; like ×1 cards, half-height cards are limited to this number while full-height cards may increase their power after configuration. They can use up to 75 W (3.3 V/3 A + 12 V/5.5 A), though the specification demands that the higher-power configuration be used for graphics cards only, while cards of other purposes are to remain at 25 W.[9][10] Optional connectors add 75 W (6-pin) or 150 W (8-pin) power for up to 300 W total (2×75 W + 1×150 W). Some cards are using two 8-pin connectors, but this has not been standardized yet, therefore such cards must not carry the official PCI-Express logo. This configuration would allow 375 W total (1×75 W + 2×150 W) and will likely be standardized by PCI-SIG with the PCI-Express 4.0 standard. The 8-pin PCI-Express connector could be mistaken with the EPS12V connector, which is mainly used for powering SMP and multi-core systems. there is the Power spec's per Wikipedia. so the Slot itself offers up half of the power. and then the connectors offer the additional power needed by the card.

jeez man calm down... a few points here...
1. Your'e posting in the BFGMiner thread about CPUMiner... shouldn't expect help, but people here are trying to help you anyway.
2. You're being pretty rude to nwoolls who's the guy who coded Gridseed support in BFGMiner. If anyone can help you, he can... show some respect and maybe he can help.
3. Why don't you try the BFGMiner version with Gridseed support that nwoolls made... it could help you with your stability issues and get rid of some of your obvious stress.
4. How about get a beer, calm down, and then try writing a post that doesn't bite every hand that tries to help you.
This is NO HELP! DELETE! wolfey which version of CPU miner are you running, I use the version that shuts down the BTC portion of the chip so it only runs Scrypt at around 7 to 9 watts been running my first 5 without issue 24 7 second for a week set of 5 arrived yesterday and will hit 24 hours of running with no issue in about 4 hours. two things I have found, 1:don't point more than 3 to the same worker or hashrates get screwy. as a matter of fact I have a 1 GS to 1 worker right now. 2:gs will give funky results if they are not powered up correctly 12 v first than the 5 v usb. running at 850 mhz on each.

on the Gridseed support, is the Scrypt only support turning off the Sha side of the chip.
Are you saying that when scrypt only mode is enabled the sha side is still on? yes on the original build of cpuminer(sorry stated cgminer above) the sha part of the circuit was on and pulling power. a new build that only runs Scrypt, turns off the sha part of the circuit and runs at a much lower draw Haven't tried bfgminer yet since the 5 chip Gridseed has been added on a beta build?

The options I would like to see supported is
Scrypt only turn off the Sha part of the chip. when running in Scrypt only gridseed should pull no more than 7 to 9 watts.
I know the original CGminer SHA was on even though it wasn't being used.
Sha Only, which at todays difficulty would be a fools goal but to each his own.
Dualmode.
Will see what I can do to compensate.
Thanks El
Thanks for all the hard work NWoolls and Luke-JR

Yay, now if the plugs I ordered for my other one shows up. said it delivered to Anna 2 days ago. then to coppell yesterday, then no update since then,
now Anna is like 20 miles directly north of me, Coppell is close to 40 miles west of me.
Ugg, the power supply I ordered in the same order showed up today.

Thank you very very much sir. I have been trying to figure out how I'm going to power this unit for days. I sprung for the 12V30A as I would like to purchase a few additional units down the line.
You said a fairly standard laptop power supply would drive one of these. Did you mean the Gridseed unit or the power supply itself?
What do I need to drive the power supply? I don't see a standard plug on the power supply in the pictures I have seen of people mining with these. I have seen two (sometimes three) wires connected to the AC. I assume I need something else to take the power from the wall into those AC inputs. What do I need to power the 12V 30A power supply from the wall? (I'm in the US if it helps on the type of power brick I need).
Sorry if these questions seem ridiculous. I've been mining for a while first with USBs on MinePeon and now with cubes connected to the GS800 Corsair power supply. However, this Gridseed unit has been a jump above my knowledge. If you could link me to what I need I would appreciate it. Also if you could PM me an address I'd like to send you a small tip.
sorry to take so long had a doctor appt today. 1st answer would be to drive the grid seed. I see Demonmaestro answered the question on what power cord is needed. (DON'T do A two wire only connection, make sure to connect ground and the neutral and hot) on the incoming power. on the power cable from the site Demonmaestro pointed to. the boxes would have L N and the ground symbol. Ground goes to green, N to white and L to Black. El |

well picked up a BBB this evening, now the hard part, it was on the way into work. and in the middle of my work week. so at least 12 hours before I get to play with it.
But knowing me if I start playing with it and upgrading the rpi to the latest minepeon release.
I do get the opportunity to review the Company logo I work for during that time. of course it is plastered
everywhere at work so.

Thanks for the info on the room on the MMC card.

Interesting that Minepeon site shows up a spam site at work. and OSI project, will have to talk to IT about that.
anyway. going to have to pick up one of those Beaglebone blacks. Especially since I can support who I work for indirectly.
Reading up on that board, is the 2gig MMC big enough to support the Archlinux install with Minepeon. or will it be running from the SD slot?
Second, with the sqlite support for stats, can we offload the database to a network drive?

Well how about an alt coin that provides cycles for Medical/scientific research. a folding@home alt coin For Example. I am sure the Crypto folks and the Computational intensive research folks can work together to make wasting cycles on my system worth while.

Great to hear jdndndndx, I like coinbase except for the visa issue, Fairly cheap to purchase bit coin there. Once they accept additional Credit cards to allow for instant deposits I will probably use them exclusively to deposit. Looking at Coin.mx to withdraw fiat out of the system because of arbitrage advantage (still working out the fees)
An example is that coinbase on average is closer in price on bitcoin to BTC-e, while Coin.mx is closer to Mt Gox. 1% withdraw fee with a 20 dollar min fee. so looking at 2000 withdraw before taking in account of arbitrage advantage.
Have fun trading.
Papacrusher, I can only comment that it is easy to setup an account there, haven't had the funds available to transfer into it.
all
Any good safe "stock" investments for bitcoin or altcoin, I currently have a couple of investments at havelockinvestments one has be very good to me. wish I had taken a bigger investment.

Signing up and purchasing on Coinbase was about 20 mins, create the Account and set up the Bank account, online. and could purchase a small amount ( I did 35 dollars on first purchase) then Wait a week for it to deposit. have it setup on a recurring basis now.
only issue I have is for the Instant service the only option is to verify with a Visa Card, which I don't have. a couple of Master cards, discover, amex. no visa.
Coin.mx takes about an hour if you follow thru with the setup. and don't mind the 3.5% exchange fee, and the BitCoin rate is closer to Mt Gox, then to BTC-E (typically 50 to 75 dollar difference between those exchanges)

I use Coinbase and Coin.mx basically to get fiat into the system. I agree with the Troll box on btc-e, entertaining.
Just getting back into cryptocoins myself. kicking myself not keeping up with it from when I first downloaded software around 2010.
so looking forward to the answers you receive.
