Is this one blade or 20 unit of gridseed blade (total 40 blade) ?

Smiley



Hi, this is 20 blades. Each blade has 2 physical usb devices so it shows as 40 in cgminer/bfgminer.

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.

I managed to get the gridseed version of cgminer working,  but you need to run it with the sudo command (I use a Rasp-pi) to get it to detect the USB

Hi

I played with my blades for few hours, read ton of online materials but did not find solution for my problem.

I connected blades to my home Windows server and the problem is when I start cgminer it does not detect blades. I have to unplug the blades, start cpuminer and then plug usb cables from blades quite fast so cgminer detect the hardware. It is frustrating as server is in the part of the house I have a long walk to and going there to do such stuff manually instead of remote desktop :/

Same problem here, but I found a pain-in-the-ass cure for it.  Download a program called "Zadig" which manages your WINUSB and other device drivers. Open the program, and go the options tab at top and click "list all devices" Then after you start cgminer (Windows x64) you click on the reinstall WINUSB driver over the STM32 driver and your Gridseed Blades will be recognized and won't drop off completely I found.

Hello,

i have a problem with my blades.
The miner i am using is cgminer 3.7.2 gridseed. I have 7 blades on my laptop.
Installed Windows usb drivers. When i run cgminer it only detects one gsd. not more. i have first to start cg and then plug in the blades after running it. Then it detects all blades.
Also cg shuts down one time a day. This happens most times in the night. Everytime a differnt time.
Can please somebody help me ?

perhaps off topic, but these are going for around 699 now...i have the ability to get one in 5 days, wondering if scrypt is still profitable for say...next 69 days?  that's what it would take to break even on one of these.

I know BTC is unprofitable at the moment to mine

also, do you really need a rPi to run these, or can you just usb both to your pc, and does each board need a power supply or only one?

edit:  I read a few pages back, looks like just a psu and usb cables.  still wondering if 699...~1 btc is a good price and if it is still profitable

In CGMiner, curious to know what the WU: is for.  Huh
I have six blades up and running ( 12 total PCB's ) - wondering what my WU should be.
Running at 838 Mhz and it runs fine for hours.  Few HW issues, but nothing to be worried about.
Also for those that are purchasing blades still.  Don't buy the 12V 10A power adapters.  Get a good PSU instead.

I'm earning about 0.05btc / day with this setup mining various alts and subselling them.  Wondering if I should mine strictly LTC.
I am fairly new and although I have read many forums, I'm still trying to find the best way to monetize my blades. ( 30 Mhash )

Thanks!

Hi, this is 20 blades. Each blade has 2 physical usb devices so it shows as 40 in cgminer/bfgminer.
ive compiled your miner but i still can not get it to show the proper hashrate!

Yes, but it is a pain to setup and not recommended.  It's much easier to have them in separate windows.

Any chance you know of a guide to do this ? I have given up after all my searching throughout the days, bit worn out Sad

No, I don't sorry.  I only run blades, but I've read elsewhere that it can be done but it is more trouble than it's worth.

Here is the compiled cgminer for Raspberry Pi that supports Gridseed: http://0c31ac7857e819701732-7c102875f448c5383a11c1d07426cb3e.r86.cf1.rackcdn.com/cgminer

Here is the source: https://github.com/jmordica/cgminer-gc3355

chips=40 for blade and chips=5 for 5-chip.

jmordica,

Thanks for this. I love it verses cpuminer. I only have one problem. I can get my full advertised hash rate for a good 4-6 hours and then my HW rate increases and my hash rate drops by almost half.

Is there something I'm doing wrong???

Here's my current config file:

Hi,

Can you please let me know the command line(exact one) to pass in cgminer batch file to run it with your fork in? I tried but my g-blade is either not running or when it runs, it's on default config. i.e. freq to be 888 with other similar parameters.


Thanks

P.S. Please help, as I've gone crazy trying to run my g-blade with bfgminer but got a lot(!) of errors and no acceptable hash-rate(2-5.1mh/s at max.).

Ok I am at hair tearing out time.

Trying to run a gridseed blade with cgminer.  I cant seem to get cgminer to find the blades itself.  I have to start cgminer then plug the blades in 1 by 1.  Which is a pain and should be unnecessary.  I am also wanting to use cgwatcher so that in the event a power cut or whatever everything will start mining again by itself.

I'm using cgminer 3.7.2 blade version
Used zadig to change drivers
this is the line currently using      -o stratum+tcp://stratum.doge.hashfaster.com:3339 -u nzgrant.5 -p2 --scrypt --gridseed-options=freq=850,chips=40


Any thoughts?
