Dear all, i ordered 2 blades from zoomhash/sevengnomes on 27 May, received 19 June. it works 4 days than the first blade stopped to work and the day after the second too. The fan doesn't work , no green light on board ( only red light ). I can see the hashpower on hashra dashboard but it doesn't mine any shares. I'm waiting a definitive response from sevengnomes support from 4 days. Spent 1700$ , 4 mining days and no warranty on that products.... very BAD customer service....

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

I was hoping for anyone with same problems that found a way to resolve it. ty Seriously though - im in the EXACT same boat. I came to the last page hoping to see some sort of hardware support back and forth here...I'll place an update AFTER I have to sift through the posts. UPDATE: Just as I suspected - no support that I could see except for software based support and tuning suggestions. @eraser - I fixed it at least by making a new set of wiring for my units (bought a 10 pack dc barrel plug adapters purchased from amazon and used the pcie 6x to molex connectors I had from some gpu boxes. Now it works again. I would suggest you check your wiring. in other news, I completely broke one of my blades (both sides) by burning out the ab126 (IIRC?) ferrite bead next to the female barrel jack where the plug fits into. would it work to simply throw a lot of conductive glue over the area? (what is this ferrite bead for?)

Hey all, I've seen peeps in here running massive amounts of blades, and I'm having an issue running 3 gridseeds (6 blades).
Part of my issue, is one of them is modded and overclocked, so it requires individual settings. But I managed to get that done, and managed to get all 6 blades running mining all one particular coin. They ran fine like this for nearly a month.
But now I've decided that it's too much magahash to throw all at one coin, since the overall mining of the coin is lowered.. (no sense throwing all 18 mh/s at a coin that's only got 6 mh's besides me mining it) So I've created separate batch and config files for each gridseed. This was sort of a pita to do as it required me tagging all the cables so I could plug them in at the proper time, but once it was running it was solid for a day or so.
Well, as I've noticed from time to time, a blade will eventually quit producing work, even though it appears to be doing so. Before this would have just taken killing and restarting cgminer then unplugging and replugging all the blades back in using hotplug.
With the 3 separate instances, hotplug has to be turned off and all the blades called out individually, so when one drops, you only kill one other blade and replug both blades called out by that instance. That was great, it kept the other 4 blades mining when only one needed a restart. And it worked for a couple days.....
.....then this morning all hell broke loose. I went to restart a blade, and could not get CGminer (the windows ALT version) to recognise both blades at once, it would crash. I could start one or the other, but both plugged in at once would crash.
Natural first solution is "have you turned it off and on again", so I shut everything down and rebooted the rig. After that, I could not get any instance of CGminer to recognize 2 blades at startup without crashing, and if I started CGminer with an individual blade, I could start 2 instances, but the 3rd would crash.
So, I try the Jmordica version of CGminer, swap USB cables, ports, and hubs, reinstall the USB drivers in winblows, and still get the same thing..
After 3 hours of screwing around, the only way I could get all the blades running at once was to use hotplug, when I had it running for days before without an issue.
Any clues as to the root cause and how to fix my issue?

update on my problem - I ended up destroying the ferrite bead on the other half of the blade and now I am simply going to rule it out as a bad connection on my psu or perhaps on the molex adapter I made. I purchased 10 new ferrite beads from Digikey for maybe 6 dollars. I've replaced them using the super lazy method of wire conductive glue (something I had around the house) One of the two halves of the dead blade now works! However the other half refuses to power on (I first plugged them into the usb to see if they can communicate with the pc - this broken blade refuses to work - I've tried to reinstall the bead, press the reset button on the asw100 and also even went so far as to try simply bridging that place where the bead is to be installed (from my understanding it simply acts as a low pass filter and the asic should function at least still) with the glue and nothing seems to get any connection. I've examined the board carefully and see no damage so I'm at a complete loss for explanation)

sry for bumping this, but i need the command line for this version of cgminer, especially for the com port, how to set it via batch file(not config)

Last post was made in May. Is anyone still using this thread or has everyone gone to a different one?
Thanks

Just thought I'd drop in my 20 cents worth as well.
I didn't have much luck getting cgminer to work, but I'm running 2 blades (4 boards) quite successfully using BFGMiner 5.4.1 with the following config:
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub -u username -p d=2048 -d gridseed -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=775,chips=40
I've just knocked down the clock speed to 775 so as to not overheat them, so it runs comfortably around 10-12mhz, with .5% error rate over a week say.

Not bad. This thread is pretty weak when you are sorely needing info on setting up. So...Just an FYI: It took me a couple of hours of trial-n-error before I got mine to use CGminer (sorry, not a BFG fan). The trick was to use the hot-plug command. Once I figured that out, I am very happy with the way the GBlade performs. Never had a temp problem running at either 838 or 850 freq (more than that was too many errors), but do have a power supply line problem with them not lasting long due to temp meltdown. LOL...ahhh..such is the miners life. If it isn't one thing, it is another. Good Luck CapnBDL

Not trying to dig some old thread here, but to help others. Am running 10 of gridseed blade using cgminer 4.3.5 win7 x64bit, and mining eth at the same time. Basic config for cgminer: cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://gcpool.eu:3346 -u xxxx -p xxxx --scan-serial \\.\COM3.\COM4 --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850,chips=80 --hotplug 80 pause Hope it helps.

Hope it helps. Is this config suitable to ether as well? I thought the blades could only do scrypt.

Can anybody tell me exactly what I need piece by piece? I want to order from aliexpress
That is not a complete gridseed blade, just parts. Even if you find a complete machine, I would suggest not buying these from anywhere in general...they are old, and clunky, and a pain in the ass to setup. Just my 2 cents, I have one running now and it's okay, but I would not buy again.
