1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [GUIDE] GridSeed Miner Support/Tuning on: March 22, 2014, 11:42:27 PM
Sorry can cgminer control more than 10 gridseed? Whenever I add an 11th, it does show up in cgminer with hash rate but never accepts anything?

GSD 10 is the one. I added them one by one with cgminer running



Here's the command line options to run cgminer:

--scrypt --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850,chips=5,modules=1,usefifo=0 --hotplug=1

change --hotplug to 5

Yup, tried that. Narrowed the issue to one of the 11 units. Tried cpuminer as well as bfgminer aswell. They can detect and start hashing but this particular gridseed never gets any accepted shares. I'm thinking its a DOA. Since its now isolated, I'm going to try to see if its possible to flash its bios or play with clock freq

Unlike the others, only a green light is blinking...

Yes, was going to suggest you run it on it's own to isolate which one it is. Let us know if you get it to work! I also had one like you that would not get any accepted shares on scrypt. SHA worked though. Tried everything I could from different mining software to different hosts/controllers and freq's. Tried running it on its own for well over 12 hours but it would never get any accepted shares....and of course the pools wont show it since it is essentially not doing any work.


Yep that sounds exactly like what I have here. Will keep you posted if I figure out something.

I'm going through the same exact thing now.

Did the new firmware help?
Do I _have_ to use a power connection or will USB provide sufficient power?

Just flashes green with no accepted shares, DOA?

We may also end up with a streak of luck and you will miss out. That is the fun of it.

What, like finding 2 blocks within 10 minutes of each other?  Cheesy

That's easy.

'sudo' is the keyword you start with to say "I have permission." ... you just must provide the password for the machine as well.

For this error
Code:
ln: /usr/local/Cellar/libidn/1.23/lib/libidn.11.dylib
you'll need to adjust the version number.

do:
Code:
ls -la /usr/local/Cellar/libidn

And it will show you what version you have.  Use the same code from before, now just, modify the version of that target.  I had like, 1.11 for example, not 1.23.

NCIX has a R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC which seems to be a reference board.

No free games with it; however.

I've been through Every Newegg and Amazon card as well as Tiger Direct, Microcenter and Fry's.

I can't find a single 7970 that has unlocked voltages.

I'm going 7950 I guess.
6  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL RIP OFF... price up 90%, 50GH/s for 2499$. on: April 05, 2013, 02:33:55 PM
I was going to order the $650 yesterday.

Seriously.

But not having any shipped and reading about their power consumption issues is what held me back.

I think I'm more upset they raised the price than I didn't preorder.

Problem is there isn't a compiled binary for Windows yet.

AFIAK, it's fine to leave the user/pw of the "worker" there, as that's only what connects to the pool and has no transacting abilities... it actually behooves you too, as if someone were to connect; they would be helping you mine.  Either way, I admire your willingness to remove the login/pw - many don't.

Now onto your issue.

I had the same problem, have you tried installing libidn through MacPorts?

If you use homebrew, it's likely just using the wrong directory and you can modify them as seen here.

Hope this helps.

Awesome, I spent a few hours myself trying to get it working/compiling but ended up giving up because I couldn't reply in that thread as well ;/

Also because I saw someone mention there were unix functions in the build that windows didn't have; therefor, I assumed my time spent compiling be better served building the new computer which was in pieces on the table... time is money in the mining world.

Glad to hear you made progress!
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Need help selecting GPU (7970) on: April 04, 2013, 06:08:56 PM
I'm building a computer that needs a GPU, as well as thinking about putting the GPU to work on mining (LTC/BTC).

I've done enough research to know that I want an unlocked card; however, I'm having a difficult time finding one.

I have a Fry's, Microcenter, BB, and TigerDirect locally.

I've looked through most amazon/newegg reviews for people stating voltages locked/unlocked ect, I was just hoping that someone had purchased one recently and would be able to point me at an unlocked 7970.
11  Other / Beginners & Help / What programming language is best suited for a miner? on: April 04, 2013, 03:43:25 PM
I'd think some low level Assembly in C would be very good, but what about a faster scripting language like Python.

I'd have to assume OpenCL/CUDA and a cURL library would need exist for said language as well.

Then there is x-platform support to consider as well...
12  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Introduce yourself :) on: April 04, 2013, 02:55:39 PM
Just started mining.

I'm a web developer / system admin.

When you look at this thread the pages and quick buttons are pretty ugly (happens to any thread with many many pages)

I'd adjust the CSS for the default theme in such a way:

Code:
#toppages {
    width: 70%;
}

There's also another TD, with quick links to take, that doesn't have a class or ID but likely should be vertical-align: bottom;

^_^

Haha, while they don't exactly suck I do find myself looking for an appropriate thread to post a thoughtful reply on...

There's at least 50 threads I want to reply on, but they're not in this area of the forum, that's for sure.

There are some good threads in here, but they're about 200 pages deep and pinned already, I doubt I'd have anything new to contribute.
14  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: LTC Network Under Attack? on: April 04, 2013, 02:23:47 PM
I'm not really sure, but it would appear to be a simple DDoS against the pools and nothing outrageous like a 51% attack.

I guess, essentially, both would have similar implications though.  I'm not entirely sure what happens in either case!

It wouldn't seem to be affecting the value of LTC at btc-e.com, but time is money for a miner.

Hi,

I have setup a new rig with 3 7790 and I would like to share my findings in this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=156411.0

This GPU is not bad (good power consumption and temp) but for now has seriously limited OC capabilities.

Thanks.

Ivan


Ivan, could you give us a little more insight into the 7790 setup?

What kh/s are you getting on LTC?
What mh/s are you getting on BTC?

How hot are they getting under what load, and which model 7790 did you go with?

Thanks!

Ang3lus,

I had some bad luck trying to get this compile under Windows.

Not sure what will take longer, installing Linux on my machine or figuring out how to compile with CMake on windows without any development libraries pre-installed.

420 also mentioned that there are unix only functions in the code, so I'm not sure it's even worth the effort.
