[GUIDE] GridSeed GC3355 5 Chip Setup/power/windows/linux/rpi by UnicornHasher

[mig91]

i think multipool has little downtime when it switch coin

[pakole69]

i need some HELP , i ve made all steps well but when i try to run cgminer it says: --gridseed-option= unrecognizable option! what can i do??

--enable-gridseed unrecognizable option too 

I'm trying to use them at raspberry pi

it's --gridseed-options (with an "s")

Multi pool take a very long time tp update has the problem resolved it self. Try another pool what speeds you get there?

Well I tried to low down the Grids at 850Mhz (3.6Mh/s for the 10) and it seems the hashrate on multipool seems better. But there is still a difference (arround 500Kh to 1000Kh sometimes).

I ran it during 24h and I have quite HW errors:

What do you think about it ? Is 5% of HW + 1% of Reject is acceptable ?

PS : I'll runing the rig at 800Mhz during the next 24h to compare the results.

yes I'm tipping ./cgminer --scrypt -o pool -u user -p pass --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850

and it says unrecognizable

5% HW is way too high. I would try a different pool too. Some of these HWs can be due to bad connectivity/disconnects etc.

Where did you get your cgminer from? It looks like you have the wrong version.

I'm following this instructions https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.msg138204#msg138204 the cgminer is https://db.tt/UygLkqwd , and when i type chmod 777 cgminer it does nothing. just get ready to type next line I'm doing right?

Can you run

Code:

ls -al
./cgminer --scrypt -o pool -u user -p pass --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850

and post a screenshot here.

Oh man i love you, thanks its working! I'm an idiot

[pakole69]

More problems.. i can mine, but only when i start cgminer using putty with my computer. When I close putty it stops at mining. Obv, i want it to mine with my computer off. I have scripta and i should be able to start mining but it says no devices running. How can i configure raspberry to start cgminer when its on? or else what can i do

I can't give you exact steps right now since I don't have access to my Pi, but you should find the location of the "stock" cgminer and replace it with your version. Something like this (verify that the folders are correct):

Code:

cp ~/cgminer /opt/minepeon/bin

Then edit the config file to set your pool etc:

Code:

nano /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

Reboot and check if it's running by connecting to its IP via browser.

I have edited that and when i start cgminer it mines on my pool. That is nice, but what i want is to start mining without start cgminer, just starting it via browser. I can do it if putty is open. but i want my computer off/putty off. With putty on start mining via browser it works ( just at default mhz dunno how change it )

What do i do with that? Im newbie at this

type screen , then run cgminer like normal, once running press ctrl+a+d to detatch session then should be good to go

once in screen do ./cgminer --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850 to run them at 850

[pakole69]

here is default SCRIPTA miner.conf

Code:

{
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-port": "4028",
    "expiry": "120",
    "hotplug": "5",
    "log": "5",
    "no-pool-disable": true,
    "queue": "1",
    "scan-time": "30",
    "scrypt": true,
    "shares": "0",
    "pools": [
        {
            "url": "stratum tcp:\/\/global.wemineltc.com:3335",
            "user": "drfranz.gs",
            "pass": "gs"
        }
    ]
}

where can i add frequency 850 there?

    "freq/frequency": "850",

5% HW is way too high. I would try a different pool too. Some of these HWs can be due to bad connectivity/disconnects etc.

I'm currently trying www.coinmine.pw and it seems to work flawlessly! For now, absolutely no HW and the hashrate indicate by the pool is the same as my miner.
Plus, the pool has lots of cryptos and I prefer their auto payout method (with USD threshold).

Let's try it a bit longer...
