Surely they are someone out there that has Silverfish miners and have asked the same question I have. Now the only thing is finding that person with the golden knowledge.
The issue that your having is that it seems the silverfish only support stratum while mining to a wallet only supports getwork iirc.
You may be able to overcome this with a stratum proxy -- https://github.com/Stratehm/stratum-proxy
Point the silverfish at the proxy, then the proxy at the wallet
Re: Solo Mining - is there a limit to the number of RPC connections to wallet?
I decided to solo mine Execoin while the difficulty is reasonably low, it's the first time I've attempted to point my rigs at the wallet on my central "control" PC. I have it working fine, have found blocks and they're being credited on the wallet. But my question is, is there a limit to how many miners you can have pointing at the wallet PC? I manage to get four of my five miners on it just fine, but the fifth one always hangs and then gives me the no username/pass error. I know it's a not an issue with the config file because I can stop one of the other miners and then start it, and it connects just fine. It seems like it's just having trouble doing more than four, for some reason.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
The default setting is 4.
Add this to your .conf file:
rpcthreads=5 (or whatever number of miners you have)
Re: [INSTOCK in California] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$249]
well the 750ti uses 60w or if you do some tweeking less. think one guy was still getting around 350-375 at 45w
heat wouldnt really be an issue.
how much wattage does a 300kh one of these use. have seen too many figures floating around to know what a single one of these does.

They use ~7w, depends on the efficiency of the power supply what the draw from the wall is. I was thinking the 750ti got around 300kh/s for 35-40w.
Heat is a HUGE issue. It's snowing outside and I have most of the windows open. Unless you have a large and cheap commercial space, you run into a wall where you either run out of cooling capacity or incoming power.
Re: [INSTOCK in California] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$249]
any chance these are going to drop in price since you can by a 750 ti for half the price and get 400kh per card?
Pretty much any GPU is a better buy if you just look at cost/kh.
The 750ti still pulls 4x-6x the power and has a lot more overhead (MB, CPU, RAM, Risers...etc) than these miners.

For barrel power supply connectors, I just ordered a 10pack of these:
-gudmunsn
-gudmunsn
Those are what I used - they work well, just be really careful to make sure the connections are screwed down tight - I saw the black smoke when I messed one up - luckily, just the connector was toasted.
Re: [INSTOCK in California] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$249]
Hi Zoomhash, I see on your 10 pack you show
10 piece barrel connectors so that you can use your own computer PSU
is this something that plugs into a standard computer PSU or do we need to wire it up. Pictures would be nice
Thanks,

Thanks,
Right now it would be something you need to wire up yourself.
We are developing a plug and play solution. But the fastest way right now is to wire it up your self. There will be connectors for you to plug wires in.
We will make an instructional manual this weekend. Thanks.
I'm using this for 10 miners, no issues:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007K4XZPG/
I am messing around with the 350w version, but Im thinking 10 miners per PSU may be the best overall.
For $29, it works and you don't get the hassles of making a computer PSU work. There are probably cheaper ones, but this one is highly rated, likely actually puts out 100w+, and doesnt catch on fire.
For a single unit, just about any 12v wallwart / power brick seems to work if you can get the miner to run scrypt-only at <10w.
For linux, download and compile - https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer

Re: [BATCH 2 INSTOCK] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$249]
Thanks CSM00! I will try this when my miners arrive next week! Can you maybe tell me how to run two miners on linux, what are the correct command lines? And where can i find what the address is of every miner connected?
Something life this:
Code:
./minerd -o stratum+tcp://pool:3333 -u user -p password -G /dev/ttyACM0 --freq=800
./minerd -o stratum+tcp://pool:3333 -u user -p password -G /dev/ttyACM1 --freq=800
./minerd -o stratum+tcp://pool:3333 -u user -p password -G /dev/ttyACM1 --freq=800
The miners will show up in /dev as tty. On Ubuntu 13, they show up as /dev/ttyACMx
Re: [BATCH 2 INSTOCK] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$249]
They will however mine scrypt @ ~9w if run them on a linux machine with the gridseed cpuminer -- https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer
I must be completely stupid because I can NEVER figure out how to download files from this website. All I see are links that open up as web based text files and on and on...
I can see a little further down where one can download a particular binary but what about the rest of the files? Do I have to download them one at a time?
For the linux source, use git and clone it to you Ubuntu machine:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git gcc make automake autoconf libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev
git clone https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/
cd usb-miner/software/cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
git clone https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/
cd usb-miner/software/cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
That will get you the minerd executable. Still have to run an instance per gridseed unit. Instead of a comm port #, you address them with the /dev entry.
On Ubuntu 13.04, they showed up as /dev/ttyACM0, /dev/ttyACM1,....etc
Re: [BATCH 2 INSTOCK] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$249]
If I buy a stand alone single unit or two, is there anything else I will be needing?
Does a standard USB port/wall adapter power these?
It can only do SHA-256 with the controller? or is that going to be fixed soon so that units without the controller can do SHA-256 as well?

RIGHT NOW, they will only mine scrypt without the controller but they power up all cores and run at full power (again, without the controller). Std USB port will work but its got to be a single digit port (CPUMiner does not support double digit port numbers). A wall adapter would work but it needs to be 5AMPs or greater PER miner until they figure out how to turn off the BTC cores. You can probably run these things off of solar power with the BTC cores turned off! LOL!
They will however mine scrypt @ ~9w if run them on a linux machine with the gridseed cpuminer -- https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer
I had mine sitting on a table next to a GPU rig, got frustrated the setup on controller didnt work right for me, plugged the USB hub into the GPU rig, downloaded/compile cpminer, seems to work fine, stable so far around 300kh/unit.
I had one running off a single PS and put my KillaWatt on it and it showed 9.0 - 9.1w while mining scrypt and finding blocks.
I probably did something stupid/wrong on my the controller setup, will report back when / if I get it working.
With more of these out in the field and the code on github, I'd expect that someone will put together some decent, clean control software. If you read some threads from other people selling, there are various issues with the speed, stability, and even malware with some of what people are getting.
I will post the latest controller image when I receive it. Sorry for your troubles
No worries, I understand these are fresh off the line 1st gen miners - I didnt expect them to be plug-and-play. Even if I had the controller working, the software it's running is some hackish scripts and PHP firing off multiple instances of minerd, which is what Im doing in linux.
The good news is that the units themselves seem solid and extremely well packaged and Im not seeing freezing / having to reset that Im reading about in the other threads.

Re: [BATCH 2 INSTOCK] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$249]
Still no trust ratings on the OP. Without reading for 7 pages, can someone tell me if this thing is legit? If it is, I will buy some.
If it's up in the air, I'll buy some using escrow.

Check out my ebay and amazon ratings. Also, I think many people have already received an asic from me
I'm one of those people. I received 11 miners from Zoom. Ordered on Saturday and had them in my hands by the end of the day on Monday. Will leave positive for him right now.
Same. I ordered 20 on Saturday. Had them on Tuesday due to USPS being slow - they shipped on Sat.
Re: [BATCH 2 INSTOCK] Selling Gridseed Asics. Ship from California. [$249]
Will these be able to adapt in the future and keep up with changing software?
In the opinion of those who bought some, should I just buy GPUs? Is it worth it? I can get 350-400 khash/s out of a GPU for half the cost.
I love the idea but think maybe I should wait for better revisions and/or competition to hit the market.

I'm trying to lower my power footprint which is why I'm buying these things. But, if your strictly asking about ease of use/price, I'd go with GPU's. In order for me to get these miners to work I have to have them spread amongst three computers and have separate instances of CPUminer open. Talk about a big PITA....
Zoom.... I REALLY need that controller.... I want to buy more but I'm not going to unless I get a controller....
I'm in the same boat - I'd go with GPUs, but I'm out of power without upgrading my service and its going to be really hot in a few months judging by the fact that I have the windows open while its snowing outside.
Having a controller isnt all beer and skittles though - I managed to get one, it boots, I can login, but I cant manage to get it configured via wiibox.net or the cybtc.com instructions. Havent worked on it that much, still making power cords and getting everything wired up.
Everything about these is definitely 1st generation, especially on the software/control side.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com
If you guys keep raping Earthcoin, it's done. The market can't take your dumps anymore, and you are about butcher what has been a great milkcow.
I feel your pain, but at the same time, it's simply not going to happen. Multi-pools are sprouting up all over the place and it's only going to get worse. Coin dev's really need to stay ahead of the game. If GPU mining can have such an affect, it's going to be all hell when viable scrypt ASIC's arrive.
Hard to have much sympathy for EAC - the devs are likely part of the massive dumping.
20GH of MC is trivial compared to the 2% premine for what is at the end of the day, a gimmicky scrypt-clone.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com
Who are these people that are constantly needing to be in contact with pool operators?
You guys must have a shit load of hashes.
You guys must have a shit load of hashes.
It actually seems to be the exact opposite. The loudest complainers seem to be relatively small hashers.
Big hashers dont care how friendly h2o is, how pretty the pie charts are, or if h2o cares about their feelings.
They care about profits. If MC provides that, good. If not, they choose another option.
Re: [ANN] [SCRYPT] Klondike Coin, Join the Goldrush! ★Kimotos Gravity★ [Coinedup!]
Yeah I missed out on that, got in on day 3 or 4. How did you know it launched if there was no announcement? Just curious.
This thread was originally started at launch time, just happened to be reading the forums then.
It was publicly announced, just no pre-ANN or hype machine at the beginning.
Re: [ANN] [SCRYPT] Klondike Coin, Join the Goldrush! ★Kimotos Gravity★ [Coinedup!]
I'm still against any type of forking, but this thread is getting more like a warzone that doesn't help anybody. In fact with all the negative news i'm still really impressed with the HUGE network hashrate, yes, indeed , HUGE, beecoin that was released yesterday had a hashrate of 3GH/s a few hours ago it only had the same hashrate as a old coin like Klondike....
A lot of people dont realize that. Even the Vampire/Lycan/Zombie trio yesterday was pulling 500MH/s at times.
KDC has sustained 3-600MH/s for relatively long time now and thats pretty impressive overall.
There are just a lot of unrealistic expectations about ROI and timelines and such.
If someone wants to really help KDC and the devs, figure out how to get non-crypto people to care about it
Re: [ANN] [SCRYPT] Klondike Coin, Join the Goldrush! ★Kimotos Gravity★ [Coinedup!]
This coin looks like it will die soon. How in the world did the devs not fork this earlier? Im so f..kin pissed. 
Cant see the forest through the trees. This is definitely a leadership problem, so consumed by small things that they missed the entire picture. There was entirely more risk in not forking than forking
And you have the same 4 peeps blabbering religiously that this coin will get pumped and hold your coins, create buy walls, blah blah blah. Together they probably own less than 100,000 KDC. Talk about the tail trying to wag the dog or something like that. More like one toenail trying to wag the dog. STFU and learn some basic economics. You small time idiots are on some delusional fantasy and trying to include everyone into your psychotic thinking.
As for the devs, thats all great that you want to create a great coin and profit off of that in the future, but again you cant see the forest through the trees. You cant make money off a coin if there is no one interested in your coin. You need to have investors that see this as a great coin to invest in, in order to build a larger community. If you build a coin with inflation on steroids that dilutes investors investment by the day, who the fudge will want to be a part of this great coin of yours besides the 4 same self-delusional idiots left on here. How can you design a coin that dilutes the crap out of the coin for a year and then when it turns and stop diluting it will become impossible to mine and nobody will want to mine it anymore?
WORST coin ever.
Also, it shows complete lack of confidence in your own coin that all 6 devs own a combined 20K in KDC. Thas just f...kin ridiculous. No wonder you didnt fork the coin. Why the fudge would you care about the price of the coin? You only have like $300usd invested your own coin. Thats just a joke. I cant believe that. The fact that all 6 adults dont own more than $300 usd worth of KDC together and thought you were going t0 make money off the applications signals to me you ALL sIX of you have no clue or any business sense whatsoever. I personally had 5 btc in KDC's at one time and Im sure everyone on this forum owned more KDC and had more commitment to the coin than all six of you put together.
What a f..kin waste of time for me. Lesson of the day. Never invest in a coin where the devs have no business sense and are not committed enough to OWN their own coin. Just makes no f..kin sense at all. If you all owned any large sizable amount of the coin, you would have realized a long time ago that you needed to fork the coin, but because you didnt own crap and had no RISK in your hobby, you didnt care and just lazily posted whenever you had time.
I probably will delete this post once my anger subsides.

We were very quick to fork the coin when the community suggested kimotos is implemented, we have not forked the coin this time as we do not believe it should be forked. Yes the value of the coin is dropping - we're not winning any new investors because of posts like yours. You are your own worst enemy.
We are not on some delusional fantasy - to quote you. Alot of the 'we're going to $1' talk was community members, read back through the posts and you'll see we constantly asked people to be cautiously optimistic and never to invest more than you're willing to lose.
We're just trying to create an alt coin with a different spin and a crypto first feature (the fb app) though that has run into delays, we have invested ALOT of time. We have put money into the coin, servers to run nodes, the site and other apps. We are not big bitcoin bag holders like some, we are not rich so do not have masses of money to put into a coin. As much as we would all like to spend everyday and every penny developing the coin we cannot as we have bills, families and jobs.
Stick to your guns Klondike devs - you had a concept, you have executed, and now people are crying because that concept hasnt made them instantly rich so they want you to fork the coin to make their current holdings worth more in BTC.
Sorry kids, like most crypto coins, if you werent in extremely early, you arent going to make giant stacks of BTC / fiat in a couple weeks.
Its sort of funny that people upset about the current generation rate but

This is news to me. Who instamined it?I imagine multiple people, of which I was one. Nothing shady, nothing "unfair" - just a smooth, no-hype launch where it could be mined at low diff with few rejects or orphans.
It launched 5 minutes before Batcoin with no hype and no preannouncement, so the mining silly good for the 1st 8hrs or so.

WAIT MY FRIEND. It doesn't matter if you were in today or at the start. It was always 77 KDC coins per block, so in fact now new miners will have more coins then at the time when i'm was mining it with a difficulty of 8!!! So new investors still have some time to get in.
We are not allowed to do any giveaways, but we are allowed to do some adjustments or creating now threads. What i would suggest is that DEV close this thread as the number of pages are in fact already getting huge.
Open a new thread, removed coinedup in the title, was we are now trading on several places. Add the people who is responsible for the coin. Add a community leader or leaders on the main page of the new thread.
Add a poll to the main thread
* Leave current plan
* Fork now?
* Fork faster?
* Reduce number of coins for next halvering?
i agree we need to do what he says, this coin has fallen and may of us agree that it needs to halve sooner.. just put a pool up and let the community decide.
There are plenty of coins that will change on whim to boost their BTC value - why does KDC have to? Because you have yours and now want to make some cash fast?
And honestly, the last people Id take alt-coin or financial advise from is this community

Mining started at .000024 or something like that.
Yes, but then you're talking about the really early people, i have mine Dopecoin today to, it also started at .000024 and after one hour we hit 11 and then i stop mining it, so that early adopter piece is only valid for a few hours.
In the current environment of many Scrypt-clone coins, those few hours are generally the only ones worth mining before something hits an exchange. KDC was actually a bit difference since its really as of today that just mining LTC gave more BTC.
KDC still stands out as having a dev team that is going to keep going forward with their plan because its what they want to do. KGW was a good idea in the multipool world. Changing the generation rate when block halving isnt that far away isnt - it was the entire theme of the coin that it flowed fast and furious early on.
