Testing of the M3 Air conditioned Room 24000BTU AC set to 20 Degrees Celsius.
Staying in South Africa it's summer so its hot now have a Turbine Ventilator in my Mini Farm also with 24000BTU AC.
This method of venting with AC ducting works great. The M3 Temps made no difference with the ducting but venting the heat works great less noisy as well.
All and all would say its an ok miner if the hashrate did not jump a lot would have been great have 4x and the all fluctuate drastically from 11TH/s to 13Th/s+
Do take caution what surface you put the Miner on, the bottom gets just as hot as the whole miner. raised the miner by placing 2x thin planks below each fan.
if you need a budget miner this is great but if you can get an S9 its well worth the extra cash.

P.S. this miner does not work on all mining pools so take caution before buying struggled my ass off to find a popper pool to mine after nicehash.
XNSUB seems to be enabled on the miners but causes wierd hash spikes maybe have to set a manual diff or something can anyone suggest the
recommended difficulty for BCH and BTC. or even suggest the pools you guys are running on would be great im currently at litecoin pool hashrate
seems most stable.

Thanks Guys.

is there any specific way to install / upgrade to PI. does the new release allow integration of networked antminers such as L3 specifically.
Thanks and keep up the great work have been looking forward to the new release for months now Tongue

Hey Guys also re-flashed SD card reinstalled beta all working great now cgminer is detecting all my gridseed blades.
API now looks to be working so far great job. would love to be able to get a new version to flash to SD but so far
this is as close as it gets. had a really similar setup running from genesis hive also worked great but more for
huge mining farms. thanks Michelem Great work so far am looking forward to future releases...  Wink.

how do we clear the logs on the beta dash.. ? will it be possible to move the windows around.. ?
Even be able to add / remove and resize windows eg. widgets i'm not keen on the logs on the home dashboard.
So far 15 hours up time no issues at all hash rate stays stable I can really say i'm really impressed.

For others running Gridseed G-Blades here is my current config excluding pool configs :

----

  --scrypt --scan-serial gridseed:auto --gridseed-options=baud=230400,freq=838,chips=40 --hotplug 5
  --api-listen --api-allow=W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.0.1/24 --log-file=/var/log/minera/cgminerdmaxlzeus.log

----

Will it be possible to have a say slimmed down version on the pi with minimal interface as to save some
resources and have the beta dash control everything and the pi just running the miners.. ?

Last Request : Can you please maybe add South Africa Rand - ZAR to the currency list.

am also curious to find out form the community. what pools are you guys running on.. ?

A strange issue is occurring with Firefox.. [ Keeps flashing orange warning every minute but looks random ]
Since the miner isn't online you can't see updated statistics, you can only see the latest one (if there are).

Thanks.

on 09/12/2016, 16:51:25 UTC
apologies ive now got the system up and running and is online in dashboard.
I am running cgminer with api as W:192.168.0.1/24 as my home network is on the 192.168.0. range.
my 0.7.0 minera is running on ip 192.168.0.254
firewall ports for 4028 have been forwarded. and open
if i add the network miner in minera raspberry pi it is working and detecting corresponding hash rate to local miner
but in the beta i cannot seem to find / scan or add manually it says unreachable.
I have 6x gridseed blades connected and all are hashing away fine. will cgminer still be able to be added as a network miner
even though its connected to the same system... ? all seems good from minera 0.7.0 and finding all miners but beta undetectable.

1. must i add the network miner in 0.7.0 minera under network miners ..?
2. what could I be doing wrong for it not to be finding the miner.

Please help. thanks.

my current json is

{
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-allow": "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.0.1\/24",
    "log-file": "\/var\/log\/minera\/cgminerdmaxlzeus.log",
    "pools": [
        {
            "url": "stratum+tcp:\/\/scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333\/#xnsub",
            "user": "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.GSUSB",
            "pass": ""
        }
    ]
}

does this look correct apologies for the ignorance.

Hey Michelem

Do you install this on the current 0.7.0 Raspnerry PI running minera. [ as the same one my gridseeds are plugged into ]
or can you please provide some specifics for install..
or please can someone post how to get the beta running...? [ does it need a separate system ie stuff like that]

sorry for being ignorant...
Thanks for the patience..

Hello Mineras,
I've updated the beta version of the new Minera, now you can clone the pools but also you can skip to add the pools when you add a miner and let Minera gets them from the online miner.
Then you can also easily select multiple miners for a pool, just click the relative button in the pool repository to get a list of all the miners to be selected/deselected.
Finally I fixed and add sorting to almost every tables (there are still some little bugs but much better than before) and fixed some bugs around.

If you wanna give a try please go to https://app.getminera.com/

Im also starting to have the same issue but only with cgmax and bfgminer.

So i'm not sure if this is a config issue on my end or what.

I have Minera 0.7 running on Ubuntu Server x64 and 4 gridseed 5 chips.
No matter what miner i run (bfg, cg, cgdmax, cpu) they all "run" not all of them hash but they all run if you check the log window.
However, cgdmax will hash and run but it shows that it is not running on the minera web interface.

I just have to run all 4 with the same settings. I even tried to run couminer with the auto tune function, did nothing.
Essentially everytime i try to use any miner it doesn't function with the basic settings of 5 chips and freq of 838.

I did follow the step by step instructions on the wesbite during install.
I built all of the miners with the build_miner.sh and did all at once.

Any ideas what to do or where to go from here?

UPDATE/EDIT: The gridseed's are hashing fineish with cgdmax miner, just doesn't show that it is running or the hash rate or anything. Heres the log:

all looks good miners connect all everything works except no payments no balance debug shows shares being submitted and lists on dashboard. but im also seeing no blockshares and and under transaction there are no transactions. they list in sqldb but nothing on mpos side payments are disabled on unomp side have I done something wrong. I have been seeking help on the IRC but no answers for 3 days.

appologies for being idiotic what is the solo pool for GLDcoin
am not sure how to do this with other altcoins.

I tried to edit the rpc for the goldcoin wallet and run as server but the miner does not connect.

@michelem

Sorry to bother. new release update please.
will it include updated mining software and configs. -or will we be using the same ones
have a small issue with cgminer and bfgminer not detecting all my g-blades

can someone post their config on their g-blades what they are using eg. cpuminer / bfg miner / cgminer please
another small issue im having is that the the miners start off great but like an hour later they have dropped to
half their speed. what could be the cause of this.. ?

thanks for the great software and support guys.
was also thinking of the donation box could you not rather set in the Support Minera! sections
after the user has supported a well sort of % towards the software it would be able to remove the adds / donations.

also if you have multiple blades ive seen people using a 80 chip setting is this correct ..? doesnt seem right to me
and how would I implement the modules and chip settings.. thanks.

thanks.
