Hi Nate,

Been really happy with MultiMiner for running my gridseeds on win8.1. It's my most troublefree option I've tested. I wanted to post this problem I've been having running 30 gridseeds in MM. It doesn't seem to occur when I have less than 5 - 10 running at once:

More often than not, when I start mining, 1 or 2 or 3 miners won't find shares, or they find 1 or 2 shares then stop. They are hashing full speed the whole time, even the ones not reporting shares. I've tried various combinations of "restart suspect miners" and "detect orphaned miners", but I rarely see an effect on this problem. The problem is not specific to any particular miner or com port, it jumps around.  I hit stop, then start mining again... Previous ones that didn't work, are now working, new ones are now not working. This happens 50-75% of the times I start mining. Its obvious to me when the problem is happening, so I don't wait more than 10 mins usually. If they are all going to work, they tend to all find shares in the 1st 1-2 mins. This has been true for me at any diff setting I use at the pool (multipool.us). But, it only takes about 10 mins of stop/starting to get all of them to work at once, and once they do, they run for days!

thanks

This pic was at a high diff setting, hence the low amount of shares...


Can you please explain the processes you went thru to get multiminer working with your gridseed it would be highly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seen this post on the Gridseed 5 chip but dont see how to update custom INF file, please help

Once you have plugged in the device you'll need to go into the Windows Device Manager and install drivers for it. When prompted for the driver, select the INF file provided in the link you referenced. Note that you will need to disable driver signing in order to use it (this is different depending on the version of Windows but you can find instructions on Google).

For some reason Gridseed doesnt come with a driver, when you plug in the usb and look in the device manager nothing doesnt show up, so Im using STM32 Virtual Com Port to get my computer to recognize it, than I have to use Zadig to request the unit, and the only miner I can get the gridseed working with is CGminer

I can now confirm support for both 1-chip and 5-chip GridSeed Scrypt ASICs in MultiMiner (and BFGMiner):



The current build of MultiMiner should work just fine. Windows users can download a preview release of BFGMiner with support for both 1-chip and 5-chip devices here:

The 1-chip devices require FTDI drivers available here:

The 5-chip devices require a custom INF file available here (GridSeed folder):
