Hey all,

This is my first post here. This thread (and a few others) have been really helpful to me getting 24 gridseeds running on windows 8.1. I wanted to say thanks to all contributing. I have also been searching for a decent #gridseed irc. Not much luck so far, the rooms are small, quiet and/or specific to a store that sells gridseeds. So we started #gridseedmining on freenode.net to share info, specs, builds, tips tricks and workarounds. We'll see if it picks up any popularity.

Anyways, thanks again. Hope to see you all in the channel. #gridseedmining FTW!

Im still looking for a way to get Windows to see these devices. I downloaded the recomended cpuminer from page 1, but the devices don't show up in the device manager under windows. Are there any tricks to getting Windows to recognize these as USB devices?

Are you using a USB cable that came with the unit or one you had already?

I have discovered I have a handful of USB cables that fit these, but do not power them up AT ALL. Also, zoomhash saw fit to ship mine with a micro USB instead of a mini USB, so I had to use one I already owned.

When you plug it in, does the green light come on and Windows pops up telling you a device was detected? Or you get nothing? If it does pop up... zadig needs to be used per the OP instructions.

Didn't get cables with order, used one existing cable I had already to try and get one unit working. I do see lights, but Windows doesn't do any of the normal pop-up reporting usually seen when plugging in a USB drive.
I thought all USB cables had just 4 wires, 2 power and 2 data. The cable im using also does work to charge my phone, so I think the power is connected.

Some cables do power only and no data... I have several that do this... like the one that came with my wireless Logitech headset... no data just power to charge. Some PS3 cables are like this too.

You will have to find one that is the right data/power USB then you should be fine.

Ill get a new set of cables from Frys Electronics at lunch and give it a try when I get home. Thanks for the advice.
