I am currently at work, Wasted an hour at lunch on the thing. When I get home Ill if your still online I will look up my skype information.
How do you update the firmware on the device? It sucks getting a generic board with no labelling or instructions to go with it, especially when it costs me $100 bucks for the thing. I will be so happy when someone comes out with a dual miner option for windows.
You can update the device on wiibox.net ... be sure to use chrome for internet so you can use google translate ... to your language. http://www.bitcoinguru.com.au/gridseed-wiiboxnet-page-translation.htmlI rewrote 2.0.2 to english language .. I'm not sure if 2.0.3 will still allow to ssh into the box ... I hope this helps. |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

So can I run on 12v 3.75 amps for tonight. I have a 12v 6a coming but might be tomorrow or Friday before i see it. Thanks
In LTC only mode, absolutely! Way more overhead than required. Good luck! Wolfey2014 I will be doing LTC only for tonight. Thanks for the info |

Do you have a download link of your english version of 2.0.2, that would be great, translate is fine and all but still a pain in the ass. Also I do not see anywhere in those pictures where i can upgrade the firmware od the device |

It is a 625 80+bronze, should be able to run 8 or so without any problems. One pcie connector can power 3 devices, one IDE connector can power 1 device + the wii board |

Not sure if this is old news but I removed the fan from one of mine today and in still air running LTC at 850MHz it gets barely warm. I think will go ahead and build them into a case with just a small fan pushing air out of the back.

I hate to break the news to you summerside.
You might have a DOA controller.
I have a tp-link from lightningasic (well 2 altho 1 is a paperweight). I can only get 1 to work.
I spent about an hour on the first one before i decided maybe this thing is just fucking broken.
Sure enough i plug in the 2nd one using the exact same cables. BAM i was mining.
I would personally just hook a usb hub up to your comp and run as many instances of the cpuminer as u have gridseeds. Sucks...but it will work

Nope, I've been waiting for someone to verify this would work. Thanks for being the guinea pig! I didn't want to try this myself as the Asicminer Cube will not function without a fan drawing current (it's an overheat protection thing, I don't think they have temp sensors). I think it'll be time to cut the fan off mine tonight. It's a waste of power and sounds like a jet engine. |

the screen of the wiibox shows that you can access it ... however ... you have it connected to the PC? a normal setup would be like this ... +-------+ +------------+ +--------+
| miner | --usb--> | controller | --rj45--> | router |
+-------+ +------------+ +--------+ is this your setup? have you entered a btc and a scrypt pool? in the config page? |

If you don't want to run a bunch of cpuminers, I have posted modified cgminer sources to allow LTC-only mode: https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355. |
BTC: 1K54i8Fsu7e7WPu1pQJV6tDa65qXahnHMH

The box is my problem, now all the box does when i try to detect it through wiibox.net or log into it is freeze up my entire network and i have to reboot my router. I am beginning to hate this little wiiboard Below is as far as i get with the board when i can get into it:  I am assuming the micro usb on the board is the power and the full size usb on the board is to connect to the hub I bought this thing cause it can dual mine but I guess i might be screwed there thanks to this control board |
