The goal of this thread is to consolidate all informations to operate and fine tune the gridseed blade (80-chip) miner.

Brand:


Chips:
Gridseed GC3355. Each unit has 80 chips.

Mining Capability(Official Number):
Scrypt: 5.2M

Power Consumption:
Scrypt: 100W/Unit

DEVELOPMENT

GRIDSEED:

- GRIDSEED Orginal GitHub

CONTROLLER

SOFTWARE:

It is a modified version of these two projects:
https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355
https://github.com/girnyau/cgminer-gc3355

My forked project is here: https://github.com/jmordica/cgminer-gc3355

You can see my latest commits for allowing for more chips. The Blades are 40 chips per USB card. So in the gridseed-options you can do chips=40. This allows cgminer to display the correct local hashrate of each board.

I also just forked the girnyau project because it allows for calling freq=838 easily which seems to work best for these devices so far.

... work in progress ...

Hi!
This looks pretty interesting...

Did i see the correct pricing? 1 BTC?
Im thinking in getting 2 of these suckers...

Is this site thrustworthy?

What is the ETA of this orders?

Best Regards,

I don't know where you saw 1BTC that's not even buy price in bulk hehe as these sell for 1600$ and even 3000$ at some places

Well it was on the site (that is not working anymore...).

For 1 BTC was a fair price from what it is...
The problem are the greedy sellers and not the product cost...

Best Regards,

LPC

[LPCobris]

I do fully agree with you on that one.

And they are far from costing 1000$ to make that's 100% sure

The site is up again...

It still says Cost: 1 BTC...

just got my little babies in the post...i tried cgminer 3.2.7 + winusb drivers and chips=40 but i keep getting no devices detected  

used bfgminer 3.10.0 but it is showing an inaccurate speed...actually the speed has been increasing but the first two columns are incorrect



0.2 btc bounty to the first person who gets version of bfgminer working that shows the correct speed

[bradinator]

We got our 2 blade miners this morning.  Trying to get setup but total its only running at 1.8Mh/s.

Can you share your confi settings or anything else that might be affecting it?

Thanks

Brad

thanks i tried that version of cgminer (3.7.2 i think from the crypto blog) from there but it doesn't work...just says no device detected. However i can get the modified version of bfgminer to work but the speed is a bit inaccurate.

[darkfriend77]

as it is more or less the same as the gs5 ... I will move both support threads together ...

and close this thread

Pretty sure that site is SCAM.

YES, it is a SCAM

Bitciondad has been posting that same line everywhere... He is behind the fake Lightning Asic, I did sent him a PM asking him to stop posting the Fake URL but obviously he things people are dumb.

Here is the compiled cgminer: http://7976711d6894623e687d-ba32c5fae889c9d78fffdd3f26939906.r74.cf1.rackcdn.com/cgminer

having an issue with mine it only shows GD 0  2.7 Mh
installed nasty zadig crap and i see 2 devices under devices but i only see 1 board hashing
not sure what the proper device command is for these blades
the one provided on the net constant gives improper command parameters and crash

Where are you guys purchasing your blades from? Im trying to find a reputable seller ... I see comm issues w/ atari02 (gawminers)... you guys get them anywhere else?

Dark seems to be reliable seller although also being hard to get ahold of.

A very good online seller is https://minereu.com

I work with sevengnomes.com so I am biased, but I bought mine from there too
Got it in 3 days, but I also live nearby, so probably 4-5 days for most.
If you are looking for someone prompt and trustworthy though, that's what I'd recommend.
