Ok then a chip behind alongside the times I know but I managed to selection myself upward v Gridseeds as well as a PSU for £30 which I but could non plow down. Now at the fourth dimension of writing this is inexpensive cheap particularly but to seat on scrypt solely as well as allow them mine.
So this is my experience....
First things start my god they are noisey, but after a picayune chip of enquiry I constitute the fans are solely placed on them for sha-256 mining which is non recommended anyway. So I went ahead as well as removed all the fans as well as similar a shot convey 1 Arctic Silver fan pointing at them. This was real tardily to do
1, Remove iv Screws from the fan
2, Flip the Gridseed over as well as take away the iv screws
3, Now plow over the Gridseed a picayune tug as well as twist as well as it should come upward off inwards 2 pieces
4, The fan wires are soldered on, then if y'all twist the wires closed to the solder it volition suspension off without the involve of a soldering iron. PLEASE NOTE the wires volition require soldering dorsum on then dont create this if y'all dont know how to solder or desire to seat the fans dorsum on later
5, Now contrary the guild as well as y'all convey a prissy tranquillity Gridseed.
MAKE SURE YOU RUN THEM IN SCRYPT ONLY!!
The higher upward is real of import similar a shot that nosotros convey no fans, if it runs inwards sha-256 manner the Gridseed volition overheat as well as die.
Next pace for me was to larn them hashing, I had a difficult await but about for software as well as struggled at times to larn them working. The best 1 I constitute was
BFGMiner 3.9 which y'all tin download here. This is re-written for the Gridseed as well as has a prissy big LTC_ONLY BAT file that y'all tin run to mine Scrypt only. To edit the BAT file,
1, Right Click LTC_ONLY.bat as well as click edit
2, Enter your puddle details
So it should await some matter similar this
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333 -u 12qheQMkzsHUZv2MLesQZCbXEX5zFUD8qe -p d=256 -d gridseed -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --no-submit-stale
Replace the spider web address alongside where y'all desire to mine as well as the username alongside what the puddle requires which volition either travel a username or a BTC address depending on where or what your mining
If at that topographic point is anything I convey missed out I volition endeavour to add together it as well as create comment if y'all tin add together anyhting further. Happy mining
