This looks really interesting, thanks. A bit pricey for a couple feet of wire, but if it works and doesn't burn the house/shed/datacenter it might be worth it.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but you didn't answer my questions when you posted this before: What's the wire gauge in the 10-connector? You are dangerously close to 6A on the standard molex connector with 10 units as it is, and that splitter cable looks awfully thin. I wouldn't connect more than 3-4 miners via molex, and I wouldn't use this kind of splitter unless it is rated for 10+ amps. Is that black electric tape on the joints? Can't see well, the pictures are too blurry.

I am selling adapter cables so you can use your computer PSUs to run gridseeds. Check out the post here:

Hey dumbass this isn't an ebay cross advertising thread.

I've been collecting error messages and solutions in the last section as well.
Thanks! I couldn't get your batch file to work (looping through all the ACM devices, but I was able to write a batch file that launched the 10 I have in 10 separate screens. Thoughts: 1) put $count at the end of each screen name. That makes it easier to switch to a specific miner. 2) I also needed to "sudo -s" before I run the batch file, or it does not let me use the devices. 3) instructions when ssh to start the miners, something about "screen -S mining" , and <ctrl>A, <ctrl>D to exit ssh and still keep the miners running. Now to see if they run all night.

Now to see if they run all night. OK Take a look now and let me know if it's more clear. Also Try: If you don't want to run all of the miners as sudo/rootsudo usermod -G plugdev -a <username> Where <username> is your username: sudo usermod -G plugdev -a miner And see if it lets you run the miner as a normal user (It does on my linux and pi) I should make a section on how to physically label your gridseeds with serial numbers and then run them based on serial numbers so you can see if you have an issue with one? I think.

The gauge of the yellow wire should be 18 and the black wire is about 20 gauge, but I couldn't find a gauging tool at Ace hardware so I'm not sure.

The gauge of the yellow wire should be 18 and the black wire is about 20 gauge, but I couldn't find a gauging tool at Ace hardware so I'm not sure. The 1:10 splitter was probably pushing it with the gauges for that amperage. I'm waiting for the buyer to test them before I decide to make any more. My 1:1 and 1:2 power adapters are definitely safe and functional. I also have ordered better wiring to make 1:10 (or less) splitters. PM me if you want to buy any custom cabling with any number of splits.

The gauge of the yellow wire should be 18 and the black wire is about 20 gauge, but I couldn't find a gauging tool at Ace hardware so I'm not sure. Ok, so Molex specifies 8 amps for 18 AWG, which MIGHT work with 10 miners without catching fire in a properly cooled environment, but you are too close. And since most power supplies use 18 AWG for Molex anyway, you should reconsider the 10-way. Just a friendly warning so that I could later gloat "I told you so" when one of your customer's house burns down :-) http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/ps/PS-8981-4M4P.pdf

Sometimes I run into things full speed before considering everything. I've contacted the buyer and their cables haven't yet arrived so I should be able to sort things out with them before their house burns down. I am currently building new splitters with larger cables to make sure everything is well within the safe range. I will post some pics once I have them finished and tested.

Thanks for all your help. At this point, I am letting them run so I can individually set their mhz and difficulty level. Question: Does minerd (cpuminer) have any options while running? I'd like to see cumulative shares submitted, errors & rejections, confirm which pool it is connected, etc. I tried searching cpuminer, but only found command line options. I figured out <ctrl>c to end it. But, that is about it.

I figured out <ctrl>c to end it. But, that is about it. No options. There are some forked builds of bfgminer/cgminer which report hashrate better and have fine grained clock tuning. I am waiting for one of the main miners to merge in the gridseed code before changing the instructions. I really thought we would have cgminer/sgminer/bfgminer mainstream support by now? I'm ok using the gridseed modified CPUminer but I don't like building out random third party git repos to mine with ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Mr. Unicorn, has anyone been able to set up something similar to BAMT? Or Litecoin BAMT with this running? (or has anyone made an image to burn to a USB flash drive, set up to mine with gridseeds instead of cgminer / sgminer?)

Aside from scripta adding support for it I haven't seen anything.
