After waiting for very long time, about 2-3 months, I atleast have received my refund for my prospero x-3 trough wire payment. I can guarantee you guys, that minersource is trusted, safe and serious company and that they are issuing refunds, just you might have to wait, until you will get your money back. They sent me back every single penny. A big vouch for them  Hi did you manage to communicate your refund request with them? I have never gotten through every time I tried to call them on their english number. I stayed late to adjust the time difference and call them during their working hours. It seems that no one picks up that number. I'm considering refund now but I'm afraid I may not be able to communicate with them properly at all. I mean to clarify, I'm pretty sure rokshis got his refund from Minersource, the US reseller. People who have recently requested refunds from black arrow directly have been told "we cannot refund you because we've already started building the unit." Welcome to the Queue. |

Minera 0.1.11 is outThanks to Sandor we have ON-THE-FLY pool selection! You will definitely love it!  * Updated CPUMiner with latest version * New Pools table with live pool data * ON-THE-FLY Pool selection (this is huge man:) * Second try fix large data from G-Blades (@chinatom update and retry) * Added submodule cpuminer-gc3355 on minera-bin/src/ Please more beer!  Damn that is awesome. Really quick to add pool switching! Have a beer on me! https://blockchain.info/tx/f9dc1a4d9fd84d931a04f1265c0a0ab9fc54558d659ee3b97f7f3f826d575f6e |

Changing pools is now possible with the API Syntax is: {"set" : "pool", "pool" : (pool_id)}Pool_id can be obtained from: Pool_id = pool.priority That is fantastic! Looking forward to this hopefully being implemented into minera to enable live pool switching. |

Been using Minera for a week now and I love the gui and graphs for stats.
One issue I'm encountering is the failoverpool display. I know this is a nonissue but it would be nice if I could get this troubleshooted.
My main pool is nicehash and I've set a minimum payment that is above the current profitability rate. Nicehash rejects my connection and I failover onto my backup. When I ssh in and look at the session I can see that I am connected to my backup pool however on the Minera page it is still saying that my main pool is alive and hashing away.
Thank you for your time and effort that you have put into Minera
This is a quirk that's hard to avoid due to the way which CPUminer handles failover pools. All minera can do is check to see if the pool is up via HTTP - the CPUminer api doesn't report what pool it's currently mining if there are failovers selected so if the pool is up but your'e not connecting because of password - it still shows up in minera. Hopefully sandor will oneday make the pool handling a little sleeker. I'd also like to be able to see live pool switching without restarting the miner. But that's a limitation of CPUminer, not minera. |

I'm curious how you calculate the minimum price.
Not very scientifically. A few notches above the trailing 24 hour averages of the higher of clevermining or wafflepool? |
|

Speaking of problems when renting hashpower - I'm noticing that If I set a minimal price via Nicehash when it switches back and forth it usually causes one of the gridseeds to stop hashing.
the way nicehash does minimal price is you specify it in the password field, so if the price is too low it comes back "authentication failed" and then moves to the next failover pool. We can all agree that isn't ideal, but it also shouldn't make a miner stop hashing. I think it has more to do with the failover implementation in sandor's miner so I'm going to try and gather more info and post over in that thread, I was just curious if anyone else had seen this.

How did they take the suggestion do you feel, being face to face you can tell if they took it in and were going to mull it over lets say or just let it pass by as a good idea but not one they may use. Sorry if this is a stupid question but you have had the face to face contact we have not had.
They took it under consideration- from my view it will be a matter of production and parts- they want to make sure every one gets what they paid for plus the compensation, before anything extra is decided. Pretty fair way of going about it IMHO. Its an option to consider, however iff they first want to produce what every ine paid for, its out of the question..? I don't think he was saying it was out of the question, I think it comes down to how much they have once they've made all the purchased units. Similar circumstances are probably why the "surprise" is under wraps. IDEK - maybe I'm an idiot but I have a good feeling. |

I'm confused about this whole extranonce thing now. Do you have a working cgminer version for Gridseed? I tried compiler jmordica's version that you linked to on your software page, it does not submit any shares. I tried the precompiled binary downloaded from your software page and it only does "Share above target". So is there a working one or not?
Sandor's cpuminer-gc3355 works great with the gridseeds and clevermining. If you have a raspberry pi, Minera is a web interface that works flawlessly (for me) with gridseed 5-chips and nicehash. Only have been using nicehash for a few days but so far so good. The only thing I've had trouble with is setting minimal price and diff in the same password field. But maybe I have the syntax wrong. I know cpuminer works, I'm using it now, but I need cgminer for one specific project. I have a PC with other cgminer-controlled hardware on it, and cgminer doesn't play nice with cdc_acm driver needed for bfgminer/cpuminer. So I either need to run cgminer for all USB devices including gridseeds, or fiddle around with rmmod/modprobe on every boot to load cdc_acm for bfgminer/cpuminer at the right time. Looks like fiddling it is for now. I hate to say it but Micro Center is selling the rPI for $30 and you'd probably be better off. I have one for SHA and one for Scrypt and they use barely any power at all whereas the PC that was controlling them before used 100-200 watts versus 3 to 5 watts for each of the Pi's. Where I live each paid for themselves in about a month. Such savings. Very efficiency. Now, that doesn't answer your question - there ought to be a CGminer that works for nicehash, and it's frustrating that the links provided don't work. |

I am late to this party which means sandor already fixed the problem for most people. In any case, there is another solution to set frequencies by serial number. It doesn't only do that however, you can use this to always have the correct devices be found by cpuminer in the --gc3355=xxx,xxx,xxx list too. The method you use is to address the device using /dev/serial/by-id/......yourdevice..... . Now, the existence of serial in the name might be confusing. The serial in /dev/serial/by-id/ is referring to a serial port (your gridseed is communicated with through a usb<->virtual serial port). In other words, the word serial in /dev/serial/by-id/ is just a word, not your serial number. Now that this is out of the way, how do you find the correct paths? Try this:
- attach and power your devices
- run this at a terminal prompt: $ ls -lR /dev/
- scroll up a lot to find the links between /dev/serial/by-id/ and ../../ttyACMx
- you will see something like 'usb-STMicroelectronics_STM32_Virtual_COM_Port_8D90000E4005-if00'
- form the path to the device by tacking those pieces together: /dev/serial/by-id/ <-- usb-STMicroelectronics_STM32_Virtual_COM_Port_8D90000E4005-if00
- use the new path in --gc3355=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-STMicroelectronics_STM32_Virtual_COM_Port_8D90000E4005-if00,...
- use the new path in --gc3355-freq=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-STMicroelectronics_STM32_Virtual_COM_Port_8D90000E4005-if00:1170:0,...
That was all from memory but I think it works. If not, try /dev/usb-STMicroelectronics_STM32_Virtual_COM_Port_8D90000E4005-if00 (but I am pretty sure the method above is correct, not /dev/usb-STMicroelectronics_STM32_Virtual_COM_Port_8D90000E4005-if00).
Cool! I'm curious I might give this a shot if I tinker around today. Although, I think it would be good if we could make the "save current frequencies" button in Minera create a string using the device serial numbers. Even easier. why i use andrio or apple can't not connect to 192.168.1.x/minera , but win7 is ok?
That's bizzare - It works fine for me under Android or Apple. Are your devices connected to the local network or on cellular? Perhaps your wifi network is seperate from your wired network? If you just connect to 192.168.1.X from android or apple do you see the server placeholder page? Any option to change frequency on each blade or GS individually?
Example: --gc3355-freq=123456789:888:0,123456789:750:1 will set serialnumber 123456789 to frequency 888 MHz on chip 0 and 750 MHz on chip 1 and so on You can add this line under extra options in the settings Bear in mind that you cannot set frequencies per CHIP on the Blades, but you can on the 5 chips. You can set frequencies per DEVICE on the Blades though. |

Hi, I installed the latest version first time, can login to the Web-frontend and setup all just fine. But the Miner is not starting. On the Desktop I get the following Error: It seems your minerd is not running, please try to start it or review your settings.

Any thoughts? Just out of curiosity, if you try to manually start the miner via command line using the command line parameters on the settings page, what is the output? On the settings page it shows the full command being used to start the miner. It looks like this /usr/bin/screen -dmS cpuminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/minerd --gc3355-detect --gc3355-autotune --freq=850 --log /var/log/minera/cpuminer.log -o stratum+tcp://stratum.pool.com:3333 -u user -p password We don't want to run it as screen to troubleshoot, so Copy and paste everything starting with /var and ssh into the Pi and run that command. So if the above was from your settings page, you'd be pasting and running this: /var/www/minera/minera-bin/minerd --gc3355-detect --gc3355-autotune --freq=850 --log /var/log/minera/cpuminer.log -o stratum+tcp://stratum.pool.com:3333 -u user -p password That will at least show the error that's causing minerd not to start. |

What is the default root password?
There isn't one, but login as pi/raspberry and sudo passwd root |

how can i convert credit card to mining pool safely and without losing usd or btc to fees
Buy a physical bitcoin miner on ebay or amazon?  No but seriously, most mining pools only take bitcoin as payment, and most bitcoin processors don't accept credit card because one could reverse the charges and not give back the bitcoin very, very easily. I buy my btc from coinbase, it comes from my bank account and once you're vetted its very quick. Fees are incredibly reasonable. (if you were to buy $200 in BTC i think the fee is like $3. I also sell btc to coinbase when I'm transacting the other way. |

Secret is secret, not aloud to discuss yet, I will ask again.
This is either really good or really bad. If it were bad they probably wouldn't have told us it's existence at all. Maybe they actually are doing double compensation. Maybe there's some other additional compensatory move they're pulling. Maybe the miners are even more efficient or more powerful. Whatever it is, probably won't be announced until shipping. If it was a bad secret, I doubt they'd have said a work about it. |

Not for nothing but when has BA met any shipping deadline. What gives you this blind faith? Everytime you feel good about them, punch in February 24th in the time machine: retrocalc.netThat should put you back to reality. I have no blind faith. Or faith at all for that matter. I'm just saying I don't know everyone is getting 2-3 weeks from. The BTC I paid for an X1, if I held it instead, today would only be worth $180. The retrocalc numbers are depressing - but imaginary. There was not a miner available, from anyone, at these price points that could have hit those numbers in that time frame. It's like saying hmm what if I had a 1g/h miner in 2010. It's depressing, but irrelevant, because you couldn't have. I don't care about what could have been or should have been I just want them to ship. I don't feel good about anyone, I'm not defending anyone. I want them to ship yesterday. I just don't feel like gathering with pitchforks in the town square with everyone else. |

I'm having bad luck trying to use the "saved frequencies" string with 3 5-chip units.
Basically only one miner hashes.
Not sure if the issue is cpuminer or minera. I'll do some more thorough testing and let you know what I find. I wonder is anyone using it successfully?

Let's not forget, the X1 cases are still 2+ weeks away so we're being extra screwed compared to the X3 orders. Also, that double hashing board is for the X3 only, where's the working hash board for the X1?
As a fellow X-1 Buyer, were quite a long way out. They should just use the two chip board for the X1s. It would make a lot of sense, instead of the current compensation plan for X1 miners. Could the current x-1 PSU support this? Even if it could the board in the x1 sits vertically not horizontally and the x3 board would not fit at all. Not for nothing bobsag said the cases were 1 to 2 weeks off not 2+ so we can hope for better than everyone is assuming. |

The first is the effective hashrate (pool hashrate), the second is the current hashrate. The first will tend to get closer to the second over time.
Ahh I was wondering about that myself. Thanks! |

Yesterday sucked but were, me anyway, already 10hrs in to the day and found 12 blocks !  Edit: Looks like today's gonna be another sucky one... only 3 block found in the last 6 hrs. Had high hopes around 10am when I made this post ;-/ Such is the fickle mistress of variance |
