We have partnered up with GAWMiners, an official Gridseed partner, to give you the chance to win a free Gridseed ASIC Scrypt miner. All you have to do is follow the simple rules of the contest below to have a chance to win, and throughout April you will have four chances. Each week of the month we are going to be announcing a theme for photo contest, you will need to submit images based on the current theme and at the end of the week you might end up winning a Scrypt ASIC device. Each week we are going to be announcing the new theme of the contest here on the blog as well as on the official contest page, the winners and best photos will be announced and published here on the Cryptomining Blog each week during the duration of the contest. After the weekly winner has been selected and announced, GAW Miners will contact the winner to arrange the details for receiving the award.
This week’s theme for the photo contest is the Strangest Place to Mine.
In order to participate you need to fill in this form with your name, email address and up to 5 photos according to the theme of the contest this week. You are also able to provide some additional details or explanation regarding what is on the photos should you consider it is needed to give a better idea, however additional details are not required if you think that the photos speak for themselves.
Note that you are able to submit up to 5 photos and have only 1 entry each week, to be eligible for the prize you need to also like the GAWMiners page on Facebook. Note that you can win only once in the four week period of the contest, you can still participate in the next week contest if you wish, though you will not be choose if you’ve won in a previous week. Winners do have an option to either get the Gridseed device they have won shipped to them, or have it hosted for free at GAWMiners. Also have in mind that after announcing the weekly winner the shipment of the award could take up to 2-5 days for verification of the winner’s information, though normally it should take less.
So do you already have a good idea about the strangest place to mine? If you do, then hurry up to the contest page and submit your entry in order to be eligible to win a Gridseed ASIC device.

We have updated our windows builds of the cgminer 3.7.2 and cpuminer for Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASICs and you can download them below. Both versions include the latest official releases (cgminer source and cpuminer source) and in the source folder you can find our modified files for adding additional frequencies for overclocking if you want to compile from the source code yourself.
Both the cgminer 3.7.2 and cpuminer with Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASIC support the following frequencies that you can set to find what works best for overclocking the devices you have:
250, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 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, 1100, 1113, 1125, 1138, 1150, 1163, 1175, 1188, 1200, 1213, 1225, 1238, 1250, 1263, 1275, 1288, 1300, 1313, 1325, 1338, 1350, 1363, 1375, 1388, 1400.

We just got our Raspberry Pi and we are about to start testing the few already available mining images for the device that help you get started in using it for a Gridseed ASIC mining controller. You can of course start with a normal distribution and compile the miner yourself and set things up to run with the Raspberry Pi, however this requires some extra knowledge and time and not anybody can do it. On the other hand you have readily available images that you just need to write on and SD card and run them on the Raspberry Pi and supposedly you just need to configure the pool settings and you will be up and running in no time. Could it be that easy, or you should expect to have some troubles, we are going to find out soon enough. For now we’ll list the Gridseed optimized images that we could find available to use on Raspberry Pi, so you might want to give them a try as well…
Scripta is a Litecoin mining distribution for Raspberry Pi that provides a web interface for easier controlling, configuring and monitoring your mining devices. Originally it does not support Gridseed devices, but by replacing the supplied cgminer with a one supporting Gridseed ASICs you can easily make it work with Gridseed devices as well. In fact we suspect that most of the other images available below are based on Scripta based on some screenshots we’ve seen even though we still haven’t started testing any of them.
MinerEU does provide a dedicated Raspberry Pi image for Gridseed usb miner to their customers only. The image is now freely available, so you can download it and try it out if you are interested. We are going to give it a try for sure.
Hash Master apparently does provide their Raspberry Pi image along with the device if you purchase the complete controller package from them. We could not find their Pi image available for download other then the complete package they offer as a Pi-based controller with SD card and preloaded image on it, so we are not going to be able to test this image, but it seems to be pretty much Scripta with some visual modifications and the proper cgminer for Gridseed.
Zoom Hash does not give out much information about their image or even screenshots, but has a short guide and instructions for installing the image along with a download link available for everyone. We are going to be trying their image for the Raspberry Pi.
Hashra also does provide an image with some instructions to setup and use the Raspberry Pi as a controller for Gridseed ASIC devices. They do not sell RPi separately, but include it with their 20 miners package as a controller for the ASIC devices. They call their software for RPi Hashra Controla and it has web-based interface available.
This is it for now, time for testing the images. If you know about another Raspberry Pi image for Gridseed ASIC miners please feel free to share information about it so that we can include it in the list and also test it along with the others.
