Will this version work with the 80 chip blade miners?

Thanks

I dont get any Hashrate from the Gridseed tryed to reinstall the zadig driver but dosent help what can i do`?

How do i do that ? just deinstall the stm Driver ?

I have 5 gridseed, 3 overclocked and 2 standard, i start from 850mhz all, i noticed that autotune takes much time and works great when makes downtune but is difficult see avertune so, is there possibility to start 3 gridseed from 950 and the other 2 from 850mhz? what i have to write on bat file for different frequencies? Thanks a lot!

thank you very much!

I have a similar issue especially with the blades – it seems that cpuminer itself completely stops/locks up although I think Sandor111 is aware of this and probably already working on a fix so no worries

Ok I see that the auto tuning update the MHz at the top, but still would like to know how to closed the windows with out having to closed it also why the prior version no longer work.

I can not seem to get the autotune to work with my gridseed blade. Has this been disabled in the new update?

thx

Hi thanks @ admin replacing the driver worked and now i have another question i usually have the gridseeds running connected to my win 2008 r2 server but when i start the minerd.exe i get the error message “the application could not be started correcly (0xc0150002)”

Switched to mining on Windows from OSX, not too familiar with Windows. Not sure how to figure out what com the STM32 driver is using. Any help?

@ admin nope its the only error message i get no further information is given

sandor, if it’s possible, can you please tag the various updates with a version/revision number ?

i have just downloaded the latest windows binary from github, but i’m not even sure that it’s the latest… the file/folder names are all identical to previous versions…

after firing up this latest download i am seeing the same exact thing as i did with the previous version last night… this makes me suspect that i am running the same exact version as i did last night, and since the files names are identical – i cannot tell…

We have updated the windows binary to the latest source, miner version 0.9a. The latest version prior to the addition of the TUI is still available and linked in the post above, so you can still download it and use it while the issues with the new text user interface version are resolved.

ok so after two days of work i can say something:
autotune works great no way! But i’d suggest some improvement:

1) in BAT file is impossible start run every grid at is own freq while autotune keeps working (i think now is not possible so if i write –gc3355-freq=\\.\COM5:975,COM6:975,COM7:950,COM8:900,COM9:875 automatically exclude autotune)
2) in BAT file always about freq is not possible finetune (890,895 etc.. but only 25mh steps)
3) option like cgminer with pools switch because everytime i have to stop cpuminer and if i use autotune it takes 1 hour to reset

However Sandor you are great! ;-)
hope to see some improvement again!

Has anyone succesfully tried to point minerd on localhost?
It stops working after setting frequencies with my Blades

Only on my blade the pods are working fine

Emanuel, the download in the post above has already been updated to the latest source (v0.9c).

New version (.09D) working great with blades now. Anyone having issues should update right away

we have updated the windows binary download to the latest version 0.9d. So far with it we are seeing significantly less HW errors that with previous versions when pushing miners to their maximum…

Updated the binary to 0.9e, aside from fixes the updated miner now supports the new option --gc3355-timeout to restart GC3355 when no share is submitted and timeout expires (the value is in seconds).

lollo, look at poolside results as locally reported hashrate could change from version to version due to various fixes that affect how the hashrate is calculated and reported… in the end it is important hat you get on the pool as average over a larger period of time.

Miner has been updated to the latest version 0.9f, you can redownload and try the new binary from the link above.

If you are using a multipool the number of rejects and HW errors can depend a lot on the difficulty of the coins mined as well as how often the pool is switching between them, even with a single coin pool mining with low difficulty coins and higher worker difficulty could lead to more rejected shares.

I downloaded and compiled the linux version. it starts up, says it set the frequency, then exits.

so is it safe to assume that both Minis and blades can run from the same instance of this cpuminer?

@Sandor111

First thank you for all the work you have done on this miner is like night and day when you compare it to what it was.

I would like to ask if there was any chance you may add the option to be able to solo mine. We ever I enter “-o http://127.0.0.1:9332/” as soon at tries to set the frequency I get an application error and it exist. Similar to what {truekaiser} stated above but I’m using windows and like I said it only happens if I try to solo mine and enter -o http://

Once again thank your for all your work.

Thanks

any way to adjust the diff on this? A pool I’m using sets the diff to 512 and eventually my miner just gets nothing but rejects, then my worker gets a temporary ban for too many rejects. I’m running 4 gridseeds

Admin said earlier:

“lollo, you can set individual frequencies for each device by using the following parameter: –gc3355-freq=\\.\COM1:850

No need to run autotune each time, just run it once and when it finds the best frequencies for each device you can set them from the command line, so they will be automatically applied on the next run.”

Autotune can individually tune chips in each gridseed. I have noticed max frequency differences between chips in the SAME GRIDSEED UNIT. There is no way I know of to configure each chip individually in the .bat file, so wouldn’t it be most beneficial to let autotune run each time? I have a Gridseed where according to autotune, 2 of the 5 chips are stable at 900 mhz, the other three are stable at 875. If I set the whole Gridseed to 900 in the .bat file, I’ll get more hardware errors on the 3 chips that run stable at 875, thus hurting my performance. If I set the Gridseed for 875, the two chips that are stable at 900, will still be at 875, thus limiting my potential max output. The difference is probably subtle, to the tune of a couple kHs, but in interest of max output, wouldn’t it be ideal to just let autotune run each time?

So my son got me sucked into this coin mining thing. Lucky for me there is so much *nix stuff out there that is similar enough to the “good ol days” that I am getting caught up. I had to play with the new toys, so I picked up some gridseeds and a pi I have sandor’s cpuminer running on the pi. (awesome job by the way) Now here is my dilemma: My son gave me 3 of the voltmodded gridseeds, I don’t have the eyesight or the steady hands to solder that small anymore. In any case the pi gives varied ttyacm’s to the gridseeds, Autotune is fine as far as it goes, but I would like to set it myself. My worry is that if I set say ttyacm1 to a high number and the power goes out or I shutdown the pi for any reason (I have cpuminer run on boot, and want it to stay that way) So does anyone know of a way to tie the gridseeds to a specific ttyacm, or to pass freq commands by serial, or hell even passing commands to the physical usb port like usb 001:005 (bus one port 5 basically) or have minerd run attached to just that usbport or that serial# so I don’t accidentally fry the non-voltmodded ones. Thanks in advance for any advice/comments. If it it too much of a hassle I guess I can stick with autotune, but switching coins takes a bit to get the voltmod ones up to snuff.

nicehash is fixed now, yay!

Hi sandor111

Every day this software get better and better and I thank you for that. Sorry I may sound like a broken record in regards to solo mining. I see that you made changes since my last comment that stop the application from crashing when you enter an http address. But from what I can tell what is doing now is just treating the HTTP address as if there were stratum address. This is great if you are mining to a pool but if you would like to mine to your local wallet then it would not be possible as it would not be able to subscribe.

[2014-05-15 07:50:55.5290] stratum_subscribe timed out
[2014-05-15 07:50:55.5319] ...retry after 5 seconds

I know that also no one solo mine to there wallets but for some coins I find it better sometimes.

Thank you

Dreddjudge, yes the windows binaries have been updated to the latest v1.0b.

@lollo

Do you the date for 0.9a, I have several versions but I not the version just the date I downloaded them.

@nose
:-( i don’t know the date but if you are able to open it, it’s write upside the miner

@lollo
Thanks but I also realize that I just need to do –v to get the version.

Sorry oldest ones I have say “LightningAsic” and “GC3355-USB-DUAL-v2.3.2.20140115.01” then I have the version higher that what you are looking for.

v0.9b
v0.9d
v0.9f
v1.0a
v1.0b

How long does the auttotune feature take to make an adjustment? I’ve been running the miner for about 30mins and freq is still at 800.

Never mind. I fixed the port problem. I had to manually set the com port number to a lower range (below 10) in device manager!

any word on solo mining options for this fork of CPUminer?

sorry.. I need an example batch file.. I just can’t seem to figure it out..

When will we be able to auto-tune the gridseed blades and if it’s already possible can you design a rpi config file example that shows how to give specific blades/chips on the blade specific frequencies.

AMAZING! admin what was your setting? 850mhz=645.3kh/s? xD totally awesome! :) help me sir!

I bought 2x gridseed blade miners and they work fine on my main computer(win8pro) BUT in win 7 ultimate it wont work..even tho i use same program(copied with exactly the same commands etc)

Zadig times out first time(5min) then says its installed and success next tile if i try..windows showing up the ports also.. Still no luck:( cpuminer finds the blades..open then terminating mining threads..no errors just start and terminating..then stratum detects block..how to fix??:) super program when it works!!:D
