I can confirm that! Nwoolls fork is running excellent for gridseeds. Much lower cpu utilization and very stable compared to cgminer. It's only missing a few options like per device freq settings. And maybe fine grained freq setting.
How many Gridseeds are you using? I'm still having issues over 10+ on a single instance, where the girnyau fork of cgminer is working for me with that many on Debian. 20 on a raspi with 2x10 hub. I have two new 10 port hubs coming today. I'll retest then.

I've had several people report issues like this while others say everything works great. I'm personally wondering if there's some difference in the hardware being sent out by vendors but I'm not sure at this point. I am actively working on reproducing this. I'm working on getting a setup going like this as it seems to require 10+ devices. I usually only have 1 or 2 of a particular device for development purposed so I've not had the equipment to reproduce issues found when running lots of devices (yet).

so what is a good miner hardware to start out with and a program? I have BFGMiner and am not sure how to configure it to my mining pool accounts. what do you have to do to do solo mining write your own code?

Is it just me or the gridseed fork not show difficulty targets in the accepted message?

It's not the GridSeed fork, that is how BFGMiner displays Scrypt mining (currently). The difficulty is less than 0 and rounded to 0. If you build from the latest Git source this is now handled and displayed more accurately.

What is your budget and what is your goal? Are mining to support a coin or do you want income? The AntMiner S1 would be my first choice and then Block Eruptor Cube. Currently the difference is about $250. As far as software you are in the right place with BFGMiner. Go to BTCGuild for a easy instructions of BFGMiner for their pool.

-----EDIT Probably, there is no option for this... But it is unstable, sometimes it shows, then suddenly not anymore... If anyone knows what happens, please help. -----EDIT Please help! And get some help as well. I have seen, at BFGMiner, by some accidental move here, and I guess at [M]anage devices screen, information on device description and serial number like the 2nd and 3rd lines below: AMU 0 : | 2.05/ 2.05/ 2.01Gh/s | A: 632 R:1+14(2.3%) HW:4/.15% CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller from Silicon Labs Serial: 0001 I cannot find where to control it! I ve tryed everything and searched the net. Some posts here show that, however. So please, can anyone tell me how I turn that on and off on BFGMiner? Thanks! I have Windows XP SP3 and got Block Erupters, Antminers U1 and U2 all running fine. I have used 2 tools - USB and other drivers cleaner Remove not present devices, previous erroneous tries... https://github.com/kevinoid/remove-nonpresent-devices- Silabs serial number and description editor (what allow me to see WHICH device is AMU* when I get that of above operational) Change serial number after pluging each miner doc https://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/AN721.pdfutility http://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/Software/an721sw.zipNow PLEASE HELP me with turning description and serial display on / off on BFGMiner!

one question ...
I have it running and a few times it's gotten an invalid response from one of my usb devices(acm12) and then it's ignored all of the gridseeds that came after and started up with just 13 gridseeks - is there a way of introducing a retry of the usb devices at startup time?
thanks
Jeff

bfgminer question I've been trying out pool management and noticed this today: [2014-03-29 15:01:56] Pool 0 is hiding block contents from us
what does this mean? thanks in advance and also what does the number in the 3rd column represent? in this case the 195.9 - should I find a more responsive pool? seems like I'm wasting KH/s - is this is the actual throughput? what does the 3rd number represent? : 352.6/336.6/195.9kh/s ST:22 F:2 NB:21 AS:4 BW:[172/253 B/s] E:0.00 I: 147mBTC/hr BS:0 20 | 7.14/ 6.75/ 3.79Mh/s | A:1496 R:71+84(none) HW:61/none ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GSD 0: | 352.6/336.6/195.9kh/s | A: 66 R: 3+ 4(none) HW: 0/none GSD 1: | 353.2/337.9/281.4kh/s | A: 74 R: 1+ 1(none) HW:12/none GSD 2: | 354.1/338.0/124.6kh/s | A: 68 R: 5+ 3(none) HW: 0/none GSD 3: | 354.3/337.2/168.5kh/s | A: 62 R: 3+ 8(none) HW: 1/none GSD 4: | 353.1/335.1/154.9kh/s | A: 79 R: 3+ 5(none) HW: 3/none GSD 5: | 352.2/338.1/244.4kh/s | A: 75 R: 8+ 6(none) HW: 2/none GSD 6: | 352.5/339.9/228.9kh/s | A: 96 R: 4+ 3(none) HW: 1/none GSD 7: | 351.5/335.6/124.2kh/s | A: 52 R: 0+ 5(none) HW: 1/none GSD 8: | 352.3/335.5/150.7kh/s | A: 65 R: 4+ 6(none) HW: 3/none GSD 9: | 354.1/337.5/339.6kh/s | A: 95 R: 5+ 5(none) HW: 7/none GSD10: | 354.3/337.6/147.3kh/s | A: 74 R: 4+ 3(none) HW: 0/none GSD11: | 352.4/338.7/276.7kh/s | A: 79 R: 5+ 1(none) HW: 0/none GSD12: | 351.9/337.9/183.4kh/s | A: 86 R: 1+ 4(none) HW: 0/none GSD13: | 352.8/337.3/230.6kh/s | A: 76 R: 5+ 3(none) HW: 2/none GSD14: | 352.7/337.7/164.1kh/s | A: 88 R: 3+ 3(none) HW: 1/none GSD15: | 353.1/336.2/152.2kh/s | A: 83 R: 2+ 4(none) HW:10/none GSD16: | 352.1/336.7/171.2kh/s | A: 91 R: 7+ 3(none) HW: 0/none GSD17: | 354.0/338.9/181.8kh/s | A: 60 R: 7+ 8(none) HW:18/none GSD18: | 352.1/336.1/122.6kh/s | A: 56 R: 1+ 7(none) HW: 0/none GSD19: | 351.4/336.8/185.7kh/s | A: 76 R: 0+ 2(none) HW: 0/none

the third number is what the pool should be receiving. Some times restarting bfg makes of slow performing miners.

Nwoolls, which branche do you advise to use for gridseeds? I currently use the 'gridseed-support' branche, but just noticed there is also a 'gridseed-support-new' branche?

Trying to compile on CentOS 5 (yes, I know it is a pretty old linux... but have to use it) Config doesnt pass libblkmaker check. Installed it from the included package, but still see this error: checking for libblkmaker... no configure: error: Could not find system libblkmaker
I'm configuring with the following options (want to test it with CPU and probably FPU for different currencies) ./configure --disable-avalon --enable-cpumining --enable-opencl --disable-adl --disable-bigpic --disable-littlefury --disable-nanofury --disable-hashbuster --disable-hashbuster2 --disable-bitforce --disable-icarus --disable-klondike --disable-modminer --disable-x6500 --disable-ztex --enable-scrypt --with-system-libblkmaker --without-curses --without-libmicrohttpd --without-libevent --without-libusb --without-libudev Any tips how to configure it? Thanks!
