I need some help with Gridseed, I'm running cpuminer and when it starts
C:\Users\mining\Desktop\cpuminer\cpuminer-2.3.2-GC3355-win32>minerd --freq=600
--gc3355=com17 --url=stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 --userpass=XXXXXXXX.
XX:X
[2014-02-26 18:15:31] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333
[2014-02-26 18:15:31] GC3355 chip mining thread started, in SINGLE mode
[2014-02-26 18:15:31] Open com17 failed, GetLastError:2
Any idea on what to do? The virtual com17 say is working properly.
thanks
Use --gc3355=\\.\COM17 instead, that should fix it. you need the direct address for COM10 onwards |

so how do i do escrow ; )
PM me and we can set up an escrow with DannyHamilton. I can provide him with the specifics of the transaction. For those who want to do BTC escrow, I am only taking a deposit for orders. The final BTC price to be paid will be the preev.com exchange rate the day before dispatch. I will contact you regarding dispatch. Sorry, this is necessary because of the volatile BTC rate in recent days. I will let everyone know when things are back to normal and BTC can be accepted in full on time of order. There is also the paypal alternative. |

So, you can daisy chain your USB hubs if you don't have one of those 20a hubs. This model hub http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HL7Z46K/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 only supports 3 miners. I will test some D-link hubs later this week. I did find it strange that I cannot overclock to 900 with the daisy chain setup, only 850. Maybe this illustrates the need for a hub with a crazy amount of amps. Anyone find good deals on high amp hubs? As a matter of fact, I did. I purchased a powered 13 port usb hub at Microcenter for $18 bucks last night. The plug in AC/DC wall wart that came with it can handle .500 Amps. That's half of one amp for you laymen. I am also taking current measurements of each power input to my 5 pods. At ldle, 5V USB power = 180 mA average. So, no worries about overdrawing the hub's stock power pack at this level of operation. 13.8VDC Pod power = 2.083 Amps average. That's 0.4166mA per pod. Just under half an amp. About 28W for the whole smash, at idle. I'm testing a 5V / 2Amp switcher on the usb hub, all is running well right now. Will take more measurements after I get them mining and post the specs, if anyone is interested. I haven't been able to get my pods mining yet (very sharp learning curve) but I eventually will. Anyone who is currently successful and setting up and mining these GC3355 USB dual miners, I'd be greatly appreciative of some assistance in getting my gear, mining too! Install, finds hardware, installs software, presents fields to fill in pertinent data and perameters, click on Go and you're mining! That's just too darn easy, eh?  Happy mining! Wolfey2014 What issues are you having? I guess you are not using the controller. What os are you hosting the miners from? With my units I got them hashing quite easily with the controller, plug and play. Even when I hosted a set of 10 on my win 7 64 os that wasn't much of a problem running 10 instances of minerd and 1 instance of cgminer |

looks like the OP has short-term memory loss. Either sends PM to wrong person or does not reply at all.  i feel you matew  Fellow aussie? I feel you too mate =) I'm losing my head, going to start moving to gmail for communication because the pm system here is hard to use. |

looks like the OP has short-term memory loss. Either sends PM to wrong person or does not reply at all. Yeh, sorry. Check PM, message sent. I did overlook your message. I am doing my best to reply to everyone in a timely manner. Because the messaging system is hard to use and threads get broken, it is hard for me to keep track of chat thread. Once a couple of days I comb through my whole message history to try and pick up anything I missed. Changing to email messaging soon. I'm just getting hammered at the moment with request. Apologies again. Cheers |

Would it be possible for you to put together some sort of tutorial on how to set-up the units? Like wiring and stuff? It can't be much harder then wiring up a PSU to an Antminer, right?
From my perspective, it's quite a bit more involved. It is a simple few steps. Tutorial either in this thread or another [guide] thread coming soon!! |

I was wondering if this batch shipped yesterday as planned?
Hi, I am updating everyone at the moment. No the delivery was not received yesterday. It should be here very soon, sometime today, Monday, fingers cross. Regardless I will keep everyone updated. Cheers Hi guys, Some member's pack have been shipped. We have the rest of the miner units however I am waiting for delivery of the controller units (they are in short supply). Once arrived, everyone else in this batch will be dispatched. Cheers |

Are these the 500 kH ones or the 300kH dual miner? Any chance we can get the 500kH ones?
I think the 500kh version is vapourware. Have a read of this forum and you will see the users of the "supposed" 500kh sets are only getting 400kh at best. People see a screenshot of 10 units hashing near a 500kh range believe that this is the long-term stable speed. But in reality if I power cycle my units enough time and look at it the first few mins I would get such a reading from the interface. It is just an estimate for a few minutes. ~ 400kh is the best you can do at the moment without new development from the manufacturers. There will be small increases coming soon. |

thanks for the quick reply, much better than the other guy "asiabtc"
Aww thanks =D |

I'd be interested in the size of these things (I'm guessing 4U?). Looking into renting a rack and moving them into a datacenter.
Yes I think they are 4U To me they are more like 8ru. It's like 5 avalon in a case with psu ontop of those. |

Hi i am new here, is this the thing same as those from "asiabtc" on this froum? what kind of support can you suply? where are from australia. thanks
Yeh, similar. But they have developed custom software so you don't have access to the linux controller to make mods or get extra stats. Kind of forked and lock. They reckon they got 5mh out of their units but if you look at the support forums no one is getting those kinds of speed. More like 3.5-4.0mh I believe I can get better support. I'm in the GS developer's support group in QQ in china. Any problems I can approach them right away, and also I can get updates fast. I'm from Melbourne. PM me if you are interested. Cheers |

(3) I could not locate a firmware update of any kind for the wiibox controller. Anyone know where to find? Beastlymac mentions such an upgrade, but I do not see it anywhere.
Also would love to know this as my wiibox controller was originally mining ok but is now stuck with this offline issue where no work is done. I'm hoping doing a factory reset on it might clear things. (5) In the screenshot above, you can see the USB power is cycling. Not sure if this is the problem but I cannot get it to start hashing at all. I am using the supplied powered hub and power supplies. Note I disconnected 5 units to make testing/troubleshooting simpler, but I do have 10
My unit is also stuck with this issue, sometimes units show up offline like this, sometimes they show up online with 0Kh/s. I think the problem could come the USB hub. I have one LA3M which wasn't hashing at all, not detecting the units. By trial and error using parts from the other LA3M, I went to the conclusion the USB hub was causing the issues. You have two leds : one red, when you switch on power, and one green, when you connect the hub to the controller. On the faulty hub, the green led never switches on. Please check if you have the same problem (red light on, green ligh off). If yes then you need to replace the hub (not easy to find !) Eric FYI, When you turn them on, green light comes on and there is a slow red blink like every 5 secs. Its powering up and and contacting pool In single LTC mode, green light is constantly on and red light flashes intermittently like once a couple of seconds. This means it is hashing. In dual mode, green light and red light blinks really fast. That means its hashing both. Anything else and it's indicating problems. Also, for those that switch from dual mode to single. You have to do a HARD reset, turn off power from the wall. Otherwise with a soft reset sometimes it gets stuck and is mining LTC but using 600w instead of 115w. A kill-a-watt confirms that. |

Dhl tracking still says "shipment information received", which means that they don't actually have the package.
Jack said 2 things:
1) the units would be shipped before feb 20, otherwise he would give a refund.
2) the units thanks to a phantomatic would be able to hash at 500khash
None of them turned out to be true, and those were the reasons that made me order this things
I can always create consignments in fedex/dhl without arranging pickup. Just saying. You better chase it up. |

What's 1:4 in your worker's name? Do you have 10 different workers in the Worker's Name list separated by commas? Example: login.wk1, login.wk2, etc... up to 10. Use the 1 password for all. What usb hub are you using? A orico, unitek or xipolar or something else? |

Well, so far the best I can get out of a set of 10 is about 3.5Mh/s (850MHz)...a far cry from the 5Mh/s or so in the "secret picture" Jack has in the original post. I hope this is going to be something we can expect with a future firmware update to the controller. I tried turning the little voltage dial up on the power supplies, but it didn't appear to have any noticeable effect.
Had to cut and strip the power cables for the PSUs but it was the green/ground white/neg black/pos wiring someone else posted here, so that was easy. All of my miner cables were correctly colored. Unfortunately, the power cable for one of the USB hubs was bad out of the box...but I had another cable in my giant box of spares that works.
Setting these up is a cable management nightmare, but I've got it to where I'm happy with it. Now I'm just going to leave them overnight to do their thing and see how it goes. I had one of the controllers reset randomly on its own once, that I noticed - hopefully that isn't a frequent occurrence.
So far, I like these little guys...they look unique and the gadget factor is there. I just wish I could get the 500Kh/s performance seen in that photo...I wish Jack would tell us what was done to achieve that!
Are you having problems with the controller? Every 12-14 hours my controller randomly craps out and randomly starts working again a few hours later after unplugging+ replugging it in over and over again. Yes...it's really annoying. I have no idea what's causing it, other than it just being a piece of junk. Also, fun with screen shots time...Jack's "secret photo" in the OP is what made me decide to buy these, figuring that if they each did 500Kh/s, that would make them worth the investment. Unfortunately, I've only managed to average around 350Kh/s each. However, at one point after switching from 800MHz to 850MHz I did see this reported by the dashboard (see screenshot). Proof positive that anyone can post a "Wow look at these high hashrates" screenshot as a form of semi-false advertising on the Gridseed performance. Unless something radically changes, you won't see this kind of performance.  How do you get your controllers up and working again? They seem to randomly cycle themselves for unknown reasons but occasionally when they stop responding via the web interface it requires you to power cycle them. Really annoying, got to train my wife how to do it so we dont have downtime while I am at work. Yeah even after power cycling it isnt working... have you tried the reset button on the side of the controller? I dont want to use it if it screws up everything I don't know about the proprietary LightningAsic units, but my Gridseed factory ones are pretty stable, though not perfect. They can hash at 3.5-4mh. I never believed the 5mh. Had been tinkering with them for over a month. Another thing is LightningAsic have "forked" their own controller and locked it. I don't know why people would consider this. I don't think the support is there compared to the progress made by the actual GS team in Beijing, who I have much more faith in. They have built wiibox.net and it works pretty well. In any case, if you want advanced stats then you can at lease mod your own controller through ssh. There are some modders out there floating around in China doing a good job with the open source. |
