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

[suchmoon]

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",

Code:

"gridseed-options" : "baud=115200,freq=850",

Could someone tell me if this cable could power 4 gridseeds in Scrypt mode only, on the stock black psu you get with one gridseed?

thanks

It doesn't seem to specify wire gauge, and if it's something like 20-24 in the "trunk" of the splitter then it could be an issue. You might want to ask the seller.

Ok I'll ask, thanks!

I ordered just one gridseed that came with the miner, power supply, and a usb.  My cat ended up chewing through the damn power cord when I wasn't looking though.  Does anyone know where I can buy a generic replacement for cheap?

That's cruel... replacing poor cat because of such a minor misdemeanor

Yeah, your local animal shelter has them for free! They even come neutered or spay!

Here kitty kitty!

You don't need an entire new cable, unless the cat ate it.
Simply cut the chewed part out, strip the casing off, re-connect the center and outer shield wires, twist or solder if you can, then insulate with electrical tape.

Or..you can buy one here...

@suchmoon I'm running 40 gridseeds in scrypt-only mode in groups of 5 using these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050MLELM/

Excellent!  Ya...he literally ate a chunk with wires, and I'd rather just buy new since I don't have strippers or anything. :/  If I only plan on scrypt mining, do you think I could get away with a 12v 1a?

Care to sacrifice one to measure the wire gauge?

It's been running for two minutes. A screenshot like that for 2 days worth of hashrate would be noteworthy if not suspicious.

im running my devices on 1 usb post using code

"sudo ./minerd --freq=850 --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM1  --url=stratum+myinfo --userpass=myinfo:x"

And on the pool side it shows the speed i get for all the devices. i thought we needed to run a different instance for each device?




Does any one have a link on how to use cgminer with all devices in scrypt only mode? i had it work with ltc mode only and then i stayed away from it

Would you mind posting an updated screencap with a longer run time and details on your config?  That's a remarkable hashrate for only 744mhz...

sure, I'll let it run till I wake up in about 5 hours.

Ok, not sure where to post this so for lack of a better place I will put it here for discussion:

KNC is now specifying a MINIMUM of 250 Mh/s for 10K or $40 per 1 Mh/s! Compare that price to performance cost to the Gridseed 5 chip miners (360 Kh/s) and they should be selling for $14.40 each  

Supposedly KNC is shipping Q2/Q3 2014 but by that time they may increase the hashrate yet again (originally specified at 100 Mh/s about two weeks ago?).
If KNC wasn't a reputable company I would call BS.

I find myself hard pressed to order more Gridseeds at $165/piece
