I got my single Gridseed going connecting it to my Windows 7 computer using the cpuminer in the first post. It says single mode however via the Kill-A-Watt its plugged into it is at 51 watts. Is there a trick to get the BTC core to shut off? Also what do the green and red LED each mean?
cpuminer from https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer will fix this, but I don't know if anyone has built and posted a Windows binary.
can anyone post a windows binary of this?
Please ...
Yes please can someone do this?
I'll add 0.05 BTC to the pot for the first person to post this...
There is a windows binary compiled of the new cpuminer available for download here with the proper lower power consumption:

Thanks for doing that my Gridseed went from 56watts to 9.2
I'm at 8 watts. This is really nice sitting next to a 300 watt 7970.
