I'm having some big issues with my Gridseed 5 chip miner.
The issues are:
1.When I used the official miner (CPUMiner one I think),no matter how many times it shows 'Dispatching new work...' I never see any shares submitted to the pools I use (no matter which pool I use and with their corrent URLs,clevermining.com,multipool.us and coinshift.com) so I gave up ever hoping I'd get the full 400+Kh/s as promised from my miner so I changed to CGminer 3.72 which does get shares submitted but I get much less than half of the total hashpower/coins I'm supposed to have mined on all the pools I've used.
2.CGminer often says accepted yet I never see the shares in my pool even though my internet connections ok and plugged in ok via the USB port.
I've tried everything I know of to remedy this but to no avail and am pretty frustrated now since there's no improvement and the instructions are even harder to understand than why I'm having issues in the first place.
If someone can just help me get back on track,I'd really apreciate this as I didn't spend nearly £300 for a miner that only performs at 50% or less of it's capacity (paperwight).Thanks

They have to be plugged in to both the USB and power. If there is no power, it will appear it's working (lights will be on, etc) but it will not accept any shares
