Re: [ANN][AUTO-SWITCH] Profit-switch auto-exchange pool: CleverMining.com
It seems that when I run cgminer, I have to start the software, THEN plug in the USB...I like it about BFGminer that I can just leave the Gridseeds plugged in and running, and restart the software at will.
I tried a Scripta image, but it was set to Italian, and to a strange keyboard. For some people it might be easy enough to set locale and keyboard, but...for me, especially with having to guess which key dispenses which character, I punted and moved along to another miner.
I am afraid to overclock, on the theory that I cant afford for mining hardware to go POP. (That may be an excuse...those resistors are mighty small...) I am still running DualMiners, 1/5 the hash of a Gridseed, and I actually paid more for them than I am now paying for Gridseeds, but they wont earn coin if they're not plugged in. One of the DualMiners went POP. Bad voltage regulator, and I plan to replace it. "When I get a chance."
Even though I dont have volt-modded Gridseeds, I have over-clocked them, and one of them gave 0 hardware errors at 950, so...it would do me well to be able to target individual units for specific clock speeds, or, as you suggest, use auto-tuning software.
As soon as the theory hit me that the power supply didnt have enough ass, I wanted to check the voltage under the load of the GS. It has a molded plug, so no screwing off the plastic cover to get at the terminals. If it had regular twin lead running to it, I could have stuck a needle in each wire and measured the voltage that way, but no, it's coaxial cable. So I hooked up another power supply, and bam bam bam one acceptance after another.
It's a blessing, really, I learned lots more about the Pi than I would have...
I had this same issue. Had 2 hooked up to a cheep USB hub, and they'd just drop off. 1 was no issue. Got a better hub, and have had no issue since.
I'm using Scripta right now, but I think I'm going to give Minera a shot. I seamed to do better with the auto-tune, and BFGminer doesn't have that. And, until I can get all mine volt modded that might help as well.
Terk,
Just keep doing what you're doing. You're always going to have someone complain about something you're "not doing right". And, a quick question. Do you plan on doing Vardiff again? Not a huge deal, but just don't like seeing so many rejects on my GridSeeds.
Now convert all my coins.... kidding kidding.
