Hi to all. Please, help me to solve a problem with GC3355. The miner is working unstable and with extremely low hasrates, 50-70Kh/s instead of 350 in scrypt-only mode, as it have to. Used several miner softwares, but the results are the same. Running on windows xp with usb driver from here. The power setup is: usb cable connected to motherboard usb port of PC, the external power is connected to the same PC's PSU via molex connector, which was in the box with ASIC. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg746%2F6740%2FPZyGlf.jpg&t=665&c=6j2yx4pDFKNIeQ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg537%2F7270%2FuF0af8.jpg&t=665&c=Lctf8wJTQe_Fsw) At the start, miner says: cpuminer-gc3355 (v1.0d) - Started: [2014-11-03 14:00:54] ================================================================================ (2s) | 0.07/0.1 MH/s | A: 1 R: 0 HW: 0 Connected to mine.revivalco.in:1001 diff 8 with stratum as user MVD3rtLUnm6Rifp ================================================================================ GSD 0: 8D7B48925654 | 850 MHz | 70.7/101.6 KH/s | A: 1 R: 0 H: 0

It seems that you are using only one chip instead of five. Try official not modified mining software and cgminer may be

Hmm.. I've tried to find original software, but looks like it's only in sources, thet need to be compiled byself ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Is there any link for already compiled win32 binaries, please?

The other way around confuses the gridseed. I bet that it's trying to power itself from the USB and is disregarding the actual power. 1. Make sure you have a minimum 5 Amp, 12V power supply for the gridseed. Lack of power will be bad for your miner. 2. Try a different pool. It could be that the pool you're running on is just a crappy pool. I've experienced this a few times with my gridseeds. Try using multipool.us (they have EU servers available) or if you want to see what difficulty you should be running at, try liteguardian.com and use the asic1 server to auto tune the difficulty. Once it evens out, you will know what difficulty you should be running it at. 3. Make sure you're using a low enough difficulty. Otherwise it will take a while to hash out a share. I've got 3 of them running together and they generally try a scrypt difficulty of 64 or 128. Sometimes if they're doing well, they bump up again. 4. If you have a crappy internet connection, that could also cause a problem.

Hmm... The PSU, which powering Gridseed have 18A output on +12V lines and 0.8A on -12V, Is it enough? The pool is working fine (anyway, I've already tried different pools and another scrypt coins), there 2 x HD7970 mining at the same pool with different workers (Gridsees has it own worker set up on pool), so this is not an issue, I think...

I basically have a worthless gridseed. I've spent close to 10 hours just to get this to work, and another 15 hours on my RockMiner New RBox. Did you look in config.log for more details? It should tell you exactly why it failed. One thing that stands out for me is the CFLAGS -02 parameter (zero two). I think it should be -O2 (capital oh two). Looks like you're right. CPUMiner compiled. Running into an issue with CGMiner though, ./autogen.sh appears to not exist in the ~/usb-miner/software/cgminer folder. Pretty sure I got it, the only issue is it's running at 250KH/s thought it was supposed to be 340KH/s (could be freq thing, think it's set to 600). And second I'm connected to HamsterPool but I see no hashing information on the website. This is what I'm seeing: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn2.aspyr.us%2Fimgs%2Fscrypt.png&t=665&c=fEJXlBR9YLSKiQ)

Done with this forum. Goodbye all.

Try --gridseed-options=freq=800,chips=5 in the command line, or "gridseed-options": "freq=800,chips=5", if you're using a config file.

Hi guys! I'm sorry for bothering you, but I'm having unexpected hard time trying to mine in different pools and...well, I'm seeking help ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) So, first things first, this is my hardware: 1 raspberry pi mod. B 2 gridseeds mini (I use them in scrypt mode) About the software, it's debian wheezy with the following: ssh back in as miner and install the pre-requisites sudo -s apt-get update apt-get install -y build-essential libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev autoconf automake screen exit
Build cgminer: git clone https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/ cd usb-miner/software/cgminer autoreconf -i ./configure --enable-gridseed make
Build cpu miner: cd cd usb-miner/software/cpuminer ./autogen.sh ./configure make
Link the build directories for convenience: ln -s ~/usb-miner/software/cpuminer ~/cpuminer ln -s ~/usb-miner/software/cgminer ~/cgminer
and at this point I'm all good. But here's my problem: if I try to run both the gridseeds in the same stratum pool&worker they run fine, but I can't figure how to make them run on 2 different stratum pools! reading the awesome OP's guide I thought this would work: How I run the 10 miners to 10 separate pools: ***WARNING: This assumes you use username miner and home path /home/miner **** This also assumes that you have added your user to plugdev or are using root with (sudo -s) 1) Create 10 pool files named pool0.sh to pool9.sh 2) insert the FREQ NAME and POOL variables into each pool file pool9.sh NAME="miaviator" POOL="-o stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333 -u 13zKJjzxGpjbqJDAWAhFNHVqALqcsCWiat -p x" FREQ="800" 3) make the mine.sh script to execute the miners cat > mine.sh << EOF count=0 for i in `ls /dev/ttyACM*` do source /home/miner/pool$count.sh cd /home/miner/cpuminer/ screen -dmS $NAME ./minerd -F $FREQ -G $i $POOL count=$((count+1)) done EOF chmod +x mine.sh
After running mine.sh for this hosting thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=471764.0 I have the following screens: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FMFMCjZM.png&t=665&c=L3H3a4KwGMCTzg) I've created 2 files, pool0.sh and pool1.sh with pools' details, and mine.sh. But it doesn't work for me! ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) also I've noticed that in the "mine.sh" code it uses CGminer syntax, while it's executing CPUminer (./minerd)... so I've tried changing the folder and having it executing ./cgminer, but once I run "mine.sh" it doesn't do anything, only the "chmod +x mine.sh" command resulting in this: *instead of home/miner/ I use home/pi/ as default* count=0 for i in /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyACM1 do source /home/pi/pool.sh cd /home/pi/cgminer/ screen -dmS ./cgminer -F -G count=1 done when I run it and then "screen -ls", it says that there are no screens-blablabla, so there isn't any cgminer instance working ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) similar results using cpuminer... I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! Does this "multipool method" work only on linux (Part 5A.1: Linux) but NOT on the raspberry? Is there anyone able to help me? ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) Thanks for the patience...

Hi, how do I run cgminer for a specific gridseed device? I have 2 gridseed 5 chips. GSD 0 and GSD 1 appears, how do I cgminer to run GSD 0 on one pool, and cgminer GSD 1 on another pool? I have cgminer 3.7.2 downloaded and already tried -d 0, -d 1 doesn’t work. Thanks

You have to run 2 instances of CGminer to let each unit hash separately, or run them both, add the second pool and use something like load balance. It won't be the same though as running 2 instances of CGMiner

Thanks, I know about 2 instances of CGminer, but I dont know which command I need to use for separation that gridseed asics

I know with BFGMiner, you can specify which gridseed to use by selecting the COM port it's associated with. I think for CGminer (it's been a while since I've used it) you can select just 1 gridseed, using something like --gridseed=\\.\COMx to select that specific gridseed. Then open the second instance and use the other com port that the other gridseed is attached to. I can't remember exactly how to run it because I use BFGMiner and Luke-JR answers those questions super fast.

I need to disable the fans from a Gridseed I have here... Can the wires simply be cut and "sealed" with isolating tape?
