Gridseed 5 Chip Cells

Is there a way to use a regular power supply like this one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/400633139181?var=670187426663&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Or must I necessarily do the wires thing?

You can use something like that just fine. I would try to find one with a higher rating though, 5A is really on the limit if you do dual mining. It should be fine if you only use the scrypt mode.

This happens sometimes....Are you using the silver fins? This problem seems to occur more often with the silver fins. Keep restarting the cpuminer until you see it accepts shares. It should accept the first share within 2-3 mins
