Cryptsy With No Minimum Coin Order Quantity Limit Anymore

cryptsy-no-minimum-coin-limits

One of the most annoying issue that Cryptsy alternative crypto currency exchange had was the minimum number of coins that you needed to have in order to be able to execute a trade. Sometimes mining for alternative crypto coins you could easily get something like 0.00123456 from a given crypto that you were not able to sell and you had to keep it on the exchange or buy more coins and then sell after meeting the minimum coin requirement. So good news if you were annoyed by the minimum order quantities that were a bit too high for some coins anyway. The only requirement now is the order total to be higher than 0.00000010 and the minimum fee for any order cannot go below 0.00000001. This could lead to some “higher fees” with very small trades, but then again you will not have to be bothered by some alternative crypto currencies with very small amount in your account balance anymore. We have finally cleared our account from a few of these such as the very little CAP that we’ve had left for quite some time.

Alternative cgminer 3.7.2 for Scrypt Mining on Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASICs

22 Mar
2014

cgminer-3-7-2-gridseed-windows-alt

There is a new fork of cgminer for the Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASIC devices that we have compiled for windows (source) that you can download below, it is based on the previous version by dbartle, but adds some useful extra functions for people with multiple ASICs. You get to set the operating frequencies of the ASIC at a smaller steps from 700 to 1088 MHz, below is the full list of supported frequencies:

700, 706, 713, 719, 725, 731, 738, 744, 750, 756, 763, 769, 775, 781, 788, 794, 800, 813, 825, 838, 850, 863, 875, 888, 900, 913, 925, 938, 950, 963, 975, 988, 1000, 1013, 1025, 1038, 1050, 1063, 1075, 1088.

Also you are able to set different operating frequency for each device by giving the devices’ serial number and operating frequency, below is an example:

--gridseed-freq 6D9426984857=988,6D9656774857=975,6D8956965251=975

This can help you maximize the hashrate that you get from all of the devices you have, though it will need some time to figure out what is the best frequency for each of your ASICs. You can normally see the serial number of a device after the GSD X, this also works with both the newer and older revisions, the only difference is the serial number you will see (0001 for the older vs something like 6D8956965251 for the newer devices). Note that you should be able to set a general frequency and only change some of the miners operating frequency with their serials.

– You can download cgminer 3.7.2 ALT for Gridseed ASICs on Windows OS here…
