gridseed device users update

FabulousPanda

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the slow progress on this. Please download the latest MacMiner and use the included bfgminer or GPU/FPGA/ASIC windows

then try running GPU window set to scrypt with the manual flag

-S dualminer:all

for 1 chip devices

or

-S gridseed:all

for 5 chip devices

over clock with 

--set-device gridseed:clock=850

Please let us know how you get on!

Kameron Myers

I'm getting:

ModMiner detect: no response to version request from /dev/cu.usbmodem1d1161

FabulousPanda

ah, please try

-S dualminer:all

or

-S gridseed:all

It seems to be confused by the device type

Kameron Myers

Now I'm getting:

by using

-S gridseed:all

FabulousPanda

how about 

-S dualminer:all

? I think that's the one for USB stick miners

Kameron Myers

does it matter that I'm using the 5 chip?

FabulousPanda

it's still worth trying dualminer:all as it's not well documented yet - have you set it up the CPU miner way for scrypt yet? That definitely works but this is still yet to be tested.

Kameron Myers

yeah cpu miner works well just annoying that i can't see the hashrate :-/

Kameron Myers

Any ETA when we can have a version of Mac Miner that allows multiple gridseeds and shows hashrate?

FabulousPanda

Still hoping this bfgminer will allow both - I just realised (sorry for being an idiot) you should have tried with the GPU window and also set it to use scrypt :S

FabulousPanda

This is working in the latest version

Kameron Myers

it works! now how do I do different usernames for each device?

Kameron Myers

and I can't seem to set the freq, the hash rate is low. here's my flags: bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://us1.coinking.io:7777 -u kameronjm.1 -p x -S noauto -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --scrypt

FabulousPanda

you mean put different devices on different pools? 

you should see something in the log about the over clock flags, whether it's working or not. Can you post the beginning/anything relevant from that please? The syntax looks right but I know luke-jr has changed it in the past, if that one is failing maybe try 

--set-device gridseed:clock=x850

Kameron Myers

and i meant putting a different worker for each device

FabulousPanda

Oh right at the Terminal please run with the extra flag -T to remove the text interface and give better log information (or use MacMiner

to do a different worker for each device you'd have to run a different instance for each of them, but I'm not sure why you'd want to unless they're on contracts!

FabulousPanda

what speed do they get up to?

968 is about half of what I should be getting from 5 devices

FabulousPanda

And that doesn't improve if you let it go a while? If you're running in the terminal you should be able to change device settings with the TUI menus

are you running without setting up the pool in MacMiner? Otherwise you're specifying that info superfluously in the flags. May also be worth trying without -S noauto

strange nothing about the clock flag shows up in the log...

Kameron Myers

now getting

FabulousPanda

That's usually the case when manually editing the conf file a curly quote is auto inserted by the OS - either check it thoroughly or set up the pool through the GUI again please

Kameron Myers

Will try that. And how do I edit the speed of the Gridseeds from within the terminal bfgminer? I know you said through the TUI but I have no idea how to do that.

Kameron Myers

I changed the flags to: ./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://useast.wafflepool.com:3333 -u my address -p x -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --scrypt

and now it seems to be working perfectly fine! 

FabulousPanda

awesome, I guess the -S noauto was messing it up somehow! In the TUI there are menus to explore, I think S for instance opens settings, so you can dig around in there if you like - I don't have a gridseed to test with though!

tccarter

I've had six GS 5-chips running nicely at 2500-2800 Mh/s for 24 hours now using the GPU window and the flag:  -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --scrypt

I had major hash rate fluctuations at first but I'm convinced that this was a hardware/power supply issue.  One of the GS devices was picky and needed its own power source.

I would love to see a local hash rate in the GPU window, but otherwise it's handling the devices superbly.

tccarter

That's 2500-2800 Kh/s.  Sorry.
