Just thought I'd drop in my 20 cents worth as well.

I didn't have much luck getting cgminer to work, but I'm running 2 blades (4 boards) quite successfully using BFGMiner 5.4.1 with the following config:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub  -u username -p d=2048 -d gridseed -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=775,chips=40

I've just knocked down the clock speed to 775 so as to not overheat them, so it runs comfortably around 10-12mhz, with .5% error rate over a week say.




Not bad. This thread is pretty weak when you are sorely needing info on setting up. So...Just an FYI: It took me a couple of hours of trial-n-error before I got mine to use CGminer (sorry, not a BFG fan). The trick was to use the hot-plug command. Once I figured that out, I am very happy with the way the GBlade performs. Never had a temp problem running at either 838 or 850 freq (more than that was too many errors), but do have a power supply line problem with them not lasting long due to temp meltdown. LOL...ahhh..such is the miners life. If it isn't one thing, it is another.

Good Luck
