Hello, what kind of shipping do you provide to Canada and through whar carrier?
I try to avoid getting anything sent from out of contry through anyone who does not make a switch over to canada post. If at all I can help it I prefer USPS as UPS, DHL, ect all charge retarded ridiculous brokerage fees.

Hi SummersideGuy, I believe this question may have been missed earlier and I just wanted to take a second to respond.

If the order is shipped from overseas (Overnight) it will most likely come via DHL which should suffice for you. If it is shipping from our U.S. location, it will go out via FedEx.

<I deleted two of my posts on this thread because I was in error.>

I just got off the phone with Joe, and now feel extremely comfortable with GAW Miners. And no, for those wondering, I was not offered a miner for this endorsement.

The mistake I made was that I found an obit of Joe's cousin by the same name, but with a different middle name.

During the course of the conversation, I knew by Joe's demeanor that this is a straight-up endeavor. Joe offered a myriad of numbers I could call to prove his case, all of which I decline for the taking because I no longer needed proof of whether or not GAW Miners is viable, of which they are.

I now offer up my apology to GAW Miners for this misunderstanding, of which could have been a disaster, but they were right on top of it to nip this in the bud, unlike other Bitcoin miner suppliers we're all to similar with.

If I were a miner, I, too, would now order from them, having been rest assured that they're viable.

Thanks for speaking with me Bruno. I'm glad we were able to clear things up over the phone. Please let us know if we can help in any way Smiley

@nwoolls can you support this arg in bfgminer for gridseed (voltage=1) and more frequencies?

Thanks!
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Auto-switching between MultiPools? on: March 17, 2014, 04:46:18 AM
Does this exist? The question is, is there a service that provides auto-switching to the most profitable multipool? I can look at this site http://poolpicker.eu/text.php and decide for myself but looking for a way to automate this. Any ideas or know of any services that do this?

Thanks!

Have you tried using MultiMiner with BFG?  It is much quicker on finding the devices if they did not initially show up. 


One issue I found in the gridseed-support branch of bfgminer is that when bfgminer starts, it never finds all of the devices. If I have 20 of the gridseed 5-chip devices plugged in, it will only show 8-10 randomly. I then have to go into Manage Devices of bfgminer, add devices, and then enter "all". This will eventually find the remaining devices and begin hashing.

This is obviously an issue because if the computer restarts, and bfgminer starts back up on boot, i'm afraid all of the devices will not be hashing.

Has anyone experienced this issue?

Thanks.

I just tried using MultiMiner and after hitting scan hardware quite a few times, I gave up. Didn't find a thing. BFGMiner by itself will find the hardware eventually but still an issue. I'm running on Ubuntu 12.04 and using mono to run MultiMiner.

I see your post here: https://github.com/gridseed/cgminer-3.1.1-GC3355-SV/issues/1

Your instructions are:

Quote
You can hash them at the same time if you launch with --set-device dualminer:dual_mode=1

Specifically, launch the BTC instance first (no dual_mode arg required but okay to add), launch the LTC instance second, dual_mode arg required.

Are you just referring to bfgminer or MultiMiner as well? If MultiMiner supports this, can you explain how to achieve this in the app?

Thanks!

Does MultiMiner/bfgminer PR 4.0 support dual mining with gridseed 5-chip? If so, how is this done? Would I just run 2 instances of MultiMiner?

Thanks.

How are the grid seeds holding up? I heard they had reliability issues.

I believe your referring to the 1st gen which had the red heat sink. I heard they had problems as well but we haven't had any issues since we got these in at all. They run smooth. 96 on each box Smiley

52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Scrypt Mining- A family event on: March 15, 2014, 03:54:02 PM
8 miners per column * 6 columns per shelf * 4 shelves + ones the floor looks like you've got 250-300 of them = 90-100MH/s?

Yea those numbers are very close Smiley

More to come soon.

​Actually hit some type of usb limit or something on windows that I didn't hit in linux (ubuntu). I can get 100 devices on ubuntu but only 48 on windows. very strange.

This brings up the question. Will the ubuntu version of multiminer work with gridseed 5 chip devices yet? I guess if bfgminer can be installed then yes but what about the drivers and how would bfgminer be installed if it isn't released yet?
Thanks!​

I believe Windows has a 256 USB limit 7 levels deep. Do you have a bunch of USB hubs in series? Try rearranging them more in parallel.

What's weird is that same exact setup (with 96) works fine in Ubuntu.

I can plug 48 into windows and then #49 shows an exclamation point next to it in device manager. If I keep plugging in devices after 48, they get an exclamation point in device manager.

What pool are you hashing?

Yep that worked!

Going to try 96! Smiley

I may have to Disable Driver Signature Verification on 64-Bit Windows 8. going to try that now.

So I downloaded lastest MultiMiner, downloaded the drivers you posted earlier from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/w06b7nj1f07lv29/Windows_ASIC_CDC_Drivers.zip and downloaded the bfgminer PR you posted as well and renamed the bfgminer folder in \Users\user\AppData\Local\MultiMiner\Miners\ to bfgminer_old. I took the PR 4.0 of bfgminer and copied to this location \Users\user\AppData\Local\MultiMiner\Miners\ and restarted MultiMiner.

I plugged in a gridseed 5-chip device and showed up in Device Manager as STM32 etc.. (so I could tell it was connected). I hit scan hardware in MultiMiner and no devices were found. Rebooted MultiMiner and still nothing. Tried to "Update driver" of the gridseed 5-chip in device manager with the .inf in GridSeed folder of drivers in your download link and windows said the best drivers for the device were already installed.

Did I miss a step or not do this right at all?

Thanks for any help.

Perhaps I misunderstood your query. There is a special OC version of cpuminer available. http://cryptomining-blog.com/?s=over+clock+gc3355
Sorry for the misunderstanding, if so....

I know about the OC'd cpuminer. I'm referring to this:

1BTC Bounty for the first person that can overclock gridseed 5-chip devices in cgminer or bfgminer without additional HW errors and rejects!

Also

2BTC Bounty for the first person that can do it over the weekend! This means by 11:59 EST Sunday 3/16/14

Ready set go.

Cool! I'm doing it right now with cpuminer for SCRYPT only.
900MHz for several minutes. Excellent!

Wolfey2014

jmordica asks "for the first person that can overclock gridseed 5-chip devices in cgminer or bfgminer without additional HW errors and rejects" and you respond "Cool! I'm doing it now with cpuminer ..."

So I'm wondering how overclocking in cpuminer answers jmordica's question - you're saying the cpuminer OC code can be adapted for cgminer?


Currently, cgminer/bfgminer supports overclocking but 850 is as high as you can overclock without additional hardware errors and/or additional rejects from the pool. 850 is what everyone is using that has these chips so i'm offering a bounty for the first person to overclock beyond this point.
