whats dead about it?
mine it and trade it..

far from dead if you have access to cheap power & some second hand mining equipment..
excluding power, 28mh will yield you 0.00322BTC/day from sites like nicehash..

stratums and rented hashpower are still a cashcow for those with the knowledge

get the boards far cheaper off aliexpress.com - keep in mind each PCB is only 2.7mh (x2 = one gridseed blade)

you will need to sort a heatsink, but these can be had easily from any hobby/electronics store for transformers/amplifiers

not true, i bought my zeusminer x3 off ebay around october last year (2014) well after theyd been released - have ROI'd several times over at least.

i notice this is quite an old thread - did anyone successfully get a chargeback (law permits 180days) via creditcard or direct debit?

Nope, you can only do plain scrypt with the Zeus - however these machines are great as they appear as one 20mh/28mh/46mh (depending on your model) device - as opposed to having a bunch of separate ASICs - as they are internally chained through a bus interface.

I sold my Zeus Thunder X3 some time ago.
Even though I've roughly twice the hashpower with a combo of Gridseeds and one single Zeus blade - nowhere near as consistent (just watch out for the power bill on those things!).

Recently had a similar issue with a clone of Peercoin and MPOS stratum - gave me strange RPC 'mode' errors..

In your MPOS stratum-mining/lib folder edit 'bitcoin_rpc.py' and scroll to line 137:
resp = (yield self._call('getblocktemplate', [{}]))

Remove the {} so it reads:
resp = (yield self._call('getblocktemplate', []))

Save and try again (i think theres even a code comment relating to this).
Let me know how you go.

so you're ok with it?

mate.. dev long gone, check out the 0.4btc dump on yobit

Hi all,

This has been bugging me for a while, and i'd rather just know as opposed to potentially frying some equipment..

A mate of mine lent me his cache of well looked after Gridseed Blades, to muck around with and test out. All of the units worked, aside from one which has one dead PCB (since removed). After a LOT of messing around, I was able to determine that the MCU/RS232 TTL hardware on this PCB had died and have since removed the chip from the board (this is after making sure it wasnt a case of bad firmware etc).



Can anyone say for sure, that the role of the STM32Fxxx MCU is purely for translating from USB to RS232 TTL? I've read that it has a hand in setting the voltage for the GC3355's.. does it also handle multiplexing for communication to each hashing IC - or are they all wired in a common bus layout (hence the ID selection for each GC3355).

I'm not particularly keen on installing a new MCU to the board, however I would be game enough to solder the 4 or 5 wires required for a MAX232CPE (for a regular PC serial port to TTL convertor) as well as the 3.3/5v required in the same PCB area.

The GC3355 datasheets on github (https://github.com/gridseed/gc3355-doc/blob/master/GC3355_1Chip_EVB.pdf and https://github.com/gridseed/gc3355-doc/blob/master/GC3355_8Chip_Sch.pdf) don't seem to rely on an MCU being present - which makes me think that addressing through UART-alone might work.

I'd also previously owned a Zeus Thunder X3 - which literally let you chain each blade like it was on a 'bus', which supports my thinking of this being possible.

Can someone please set me straight on this; only if you know..

> wheres the tell tale nodes? wheres the tell tale string in the executable?

just checked the source, egg on face..
i'm not sure what the problem is though - all scrypt coins are forks of litecoin/clones?

and this one doesnt suffer from difficulty problems? up to block 4056 no hassles..

starting to wonder why the dev didnt announce on bitcointalk?

LOL 'noob' coin, coingen accusations with no proof.. derp, i wonder why he avoided these forums like the plague!

so leaving it running 2-3 hours this arvo, then cashing out bigtime when it gets listed at any exchange is a noob thing to do?

 

even if it doesnt, its called opportunity cost..

unsure, havent seen it listed on any exchanges (yet), seems to work well enough - have been messing around with it most of this afternoon..

re: my post above, the only node running it isnt a coingen node - i dunno why people post shit like that without checking (reverse dns takes 5 seconds)

LOL    is not coingen crap..

{

is up to block 3478 with correct difficulty adjustments

Yes, i have my own Pure SHA3 coin which isn't released yet.
Certainly do, i've only seen zerocoin mentioned once or twice - shouldnt this be fixed up in the build file/git file tree?
Do you know what a genesis block is?

Your wallet's RPC Port isn't showing up on the windows wallet; it remains closed.

What part of thats confusing you?

You sound like a unit.

I'm pretty much past this guys - this was the wallet released at launch this morning (not the demo)..
If dev uploads another one in the next week or so that doesnt match the below, or if this post disappears magically.. cry bullshit..

Could just be an honest mistake - but I think we've all seen with new Coins; theres never really an honest mistake.

don't get ahead of yourself..

netstat -ab shows no port :36020 on any network interface..
even when specified manually in the conf file - or even if i launch the wallet manually..

-datadir=datadir -maxconnections=4 -rpcuser=x -rpcpassword=y -rpcbind=10.0.1.248 -rpcallowip=10.0.1.250 -rpcport=36020

i use this with tons of wallets, never had an issue (10.0.1.248 is local to the machine) - so why isnt this port open?

howd you go with your linux wallet compiles from source guys?

dev: why isnt the win-qt wallet exposing port 36020 on any interface, even when specified manually in the .conf file - or as a parameter on winqt launch (-rpcport=36020)...?

why isnt rpc port open on the wallet, even when manually specified?
