[GUIDE] GridSeed 5-Chip USB, Blade & Black Miner Support/Tuning

[CartmanSPC]

Wow, he's right!

Not factoring in electricity cost for my hashrate:

LTC - $4.09/day
BTC - $4.54/day

DOGE - $4.48/day

According to coinwarz

Anyone have any tips for Solo mining with a Gridseed blade?  I have searched the forums and not had any luck.

Thanks in advance.....

The question remains
how to start dual mining from cgminer dmaxl

[Lavabo]

until now the only way im dual mining with a rasberrypi is with HASHRA.  Tried all version and this one is the best imho.
Otherwise in Windows it works too, with cgminer (BTC) and cpuminer (scrypt)

but both way, after a few hours it crash and need to be restarted.  Only Hashra offer a way to restart miner with a  timer.

Any people can leave theyr Gridseed in dual mode for weeks without crash?   Its seems its only possible in scrypt mode

Please, write how to start dual mining from cgminer dmaxl. file.bat.

[Eric2013]

nice, but u wont get the investment back!

Just restart every two hours using a cronjob.

why even bother BTC mining is it even worth it anymore?

Dear Guys,
i have a problem with 2 modded blade from zoomhash/sevengnomes.
It works for 5 days, then the first stopped and the day after the second stopped too.
The fan doesn't work and i have only red light on ( no green light ).
I can see tha blade in Hashra dashboard, it appears to mine at correct speed but it doesn't mine any share.
I assume that is power related issues, i changed the PSU and cables without good results ( the same psu with same cables works perfectly on gridseed 5 chip).
Contacted sevengnomes and i'm still waiting a reply after 2 days.....
Any ideas on how to resolve?

thanks in advance

think you SOL on that one i dont think they warranty them other then DOA and now no warranty from gridseed

What SOL means ?
I asked to support , they tells me that they can repair it... I don't want to lose more and more days , I have a local engineer that can try to repair it if they tell me what i have to do... Still waiting..

this is a support/tuning thread for the blades not .... a vendor support thread (zoomhash or whatever) ....

[wolf_miner]

Hi, what command i have to added to startup string to obtain an output like the one below? I run CPUMiner with this string

Code:

./minerd --gc3355-autotune --freq=850 --gc3355-detect --gc3355-freq=6D903FA94857:1050,6D7727705148:1050,6D7A549E5650:1050  -o stratum+tcp://EU.coinmine.pw:1111 -u abc_miner -p abc --gc3355-timeout=900

Thanks in advance W_M


SOLVED: add --debug

sorry if this sounds stupid, but could i get help to start mining with a gridseed blade please ? i have windows 64 bit.
i have the stm com port working,as i have been running 3 of the round gridseeds for quite a while now. my problem is i bought a Blade miner, but severely lack any nouce with computers, it actually took me 2 days to get my 3 round gridseeds running, (don't lauagh) because i am literally useless on a pc. i have read this thread from start to finish(twice) (again dont laugh)and all i have now is a headache. i did manage to do the fiffo thing to clear up my miners though (YEAH). but unfortunately i can only use basic command lines
(copy& paste)lol. i really want to run  the g-blade on cpuminer, as i am familiar with it from using the round gridseeds. i have downloaded from the links in the thread, but got so confused that i had to uninstall everything and start fresh. i still have the stm drivers installed and also this  cpuminer-GC3355-win32-fixed-OC that i downloaded from Cryptomining Blog. and it runs fantastic with the round gridseeds.
i am able to solo mine and pool mine flawlessly. so thank you Sandor for your hard work. i'm just not sure where to download the latest version for the G-Blades, and the ones that i did download from drop box had .json or something. then i was lost it all looks like a different language to me. i thought i would be able to grasp all this, but now fear i will not be able to mine with my new G-Blade because i lack the understanding. again sorry if it sounds stupid but i really am a slow learner when it comes to computers. thank you to all the people who share thier knowledge here. i look forward to reply's that i may get. thank you for your time.

Thanks Zig, but that is not for begginers.

[tmpwhore]

I don't know it you guys can help me but I bought a gridseed black 4u 25 M/Hs miner and it seems to be fucked out of the gate.

It came with a crazy Aus/China plug which is no biggie as I just replaced it with a North American one and it fired up. I can get into it but it can't detect any cards. According to the crazy google translation:

"quantities mining machine" is 0. so it can't detect any of the cards. Is it dead out of the box? Plus there are 6 red led's on the front. Is it because it's a 220 chinese power supply on a 120V N. American grid?

The power supply at the back says it can handle 100-240V so it should be fine theoretically.


Additionally I ordered 2 Gridseed blades with all the accessories and again the power supply came with a crazy Aus/China plug so I can't use it. Will an adapter work? Or should I just splice a normal power supply chord to it. What part of Canada did they think was in the world? WTF?

[tmpwhore]

K fixed the black. Opened it up and a ribbon cable was not connected. Also there is a USB plug to a daughterboard that was dangling in the back which needed to be plugged into the main controller board.

QUALITY CONTROL!!!!

Hello
On Gridseed G-Blade burned microcontroller stm32f103rct6, can anyone have firmware for it

[BeerPimp]

Hello

I am trying to run bfgminer 4.6.0 I had previously ran cgminer 3.7.2 jmordica fork in Windows 7 64-bit.  What is the best way to uninstall the zadig drivers?

Thanks,
