Still, hopefully being listed on there will generate some interest 

He's certainly been keeping busy on GitHub as he has quite a few different coins there:

Last activity on anything there was September 13th, a day after he was last seen on the forum.

Hopefully dev will turn up soon. I won't be able to participate in the giveaway as I'm not high enough ranking here yet, but I've been mining this coin recently to build up some balance in my wallet.

I'm a newbie but I've recently set up Minera from the image file on a Raspberry Pi B+ I had laying around doing nothing and hooked it up to a Gridseed Blade I got cheap on ebay. So far, I have to say I'm very impressed.

For me, I am finding that using bfgminer with pre-configured Gridseed Blade settings seems to be the best combination. I get good hash rates reported from the pools I've tested it with and these seem reasonably close to the reported device hash rates. The only issue I've seen with bfgminer is that sometimes it takes a couple of attempts to start it up and get it to recognize both devices. Once it has recognised the devices though it keeps running smoothly.

I've also tested with cpuminer, again using the Gridseed Blade preset. This combination seems to reliably detect the devices first time but I'm finding that the reported device hash rate is much lower. The pool hash rate seems about the same as with bfgminer so I'm assuming it's just cpuminer giving incorrect readings for the devices.

As a newbie, I'd just like to ask if anyone else using Minera with a Gridseed Blade if there's any other config they'd particularly recommend and if my experiences with bfgminer and cpuminer are what would be expected.
