Latest Optimized CGMiner Configuration for Gridseed Blades!

25 Replies
Well, just wanted to do a short update on optimizing the Gridseed Blades a bit more.

I found that you can actually run these Gridseed Blades at 850Mhz just fine, there’s some more hardware errors but hashing is a bit faster and getting around 2.879Mh/s per blade.

Here’s my cgminer.conf file:

How to Make Gridseed Blade Mining Rig! [Pre-Built CGMiner]

85 Replies
For this month’s Rig of the Month, check out the latest ASIC Scrypt miner, Gridseed Blade Mining Rig!

Based on 80 Gridseed chips, Gridseed Blades are ASIC Scrypt miners capable of 5.6Mh/s at only 100 watts of power.  These currently (as of April 30th 2014) cost around $1500-1600 with ROI of around 6 months at $15/day. (You can use CoinWarz.com to see profit at the moment.)

In other words, these are the best rigs to use to mine Scrypt coins such as Litecoins and Dogecoins “right now”.  My graphic card rigs a

How to Make Stackable Tower Gridseed Rig with Raspberry Pi! [Pre-built CGminer]

160 Replies

For those of you who are thinking about making your own Gridseed rig for Scrypt mining (for Litecoin, Dogecoin, etc…etc…), you may want to make them into stackable “towers”.

Initially, I’ve built my Gridseed rig using a standard motherboard and Ubuntu linux with a custom frame but I realize this is very time-consuming and tedious.  Besides that, when you have multiple Gridseeds running at the same time, the fans on them get pretty loud.  It was loud enough where the bass

ASIC Litecoin Rigs On The Way! BE AWARE OF PRE-ORDERS!

ASIC Litecoin rigs are making way to the market with GridSeed ASIC Scrypt miners being the first and also available “right now”.  I am actually in the process of testing a GridSeed rig right now and I am pretty impressed so far as how little energy it uses.

With that said, ASIC Litecoin rigs were not supposed to be on the market and that was the reason why miners were switching to mining Litecoins couple months back.  Well, the game has changed quite a bit now and GridSeed rigs are literally pumpi

If you accidentally used your Android wallet app such as Litecoin wallet app or Dogecoin wallet for P2P/Solo mining, you may end up in a nasty situation where your wallet app freezes and refuses to give you any money. (Oh No Much Lost!)

Well, there’s a simple way to import the private keys to your computer Litecoin/Dogecoin wallet.

First, find your backup keys from your wallet app then copy the file to your Linux/Mac. You will need Linux or Mac to decrypt your keys.

Open terminal and type: openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -a -in this.key Replace “this.key”

I know many of you guys are building mining rigs and probably looking for a good rig frame.

Well, since my last post on DIY wooden frame, I’ve decided to start selling them, so you can focus on making rigs instead of spending a whole day making the frame. I know the first time I made one, it took me a whole day designing, cutting wood, and putting the screws together.

Some of you may not have power tools nearby or perhaps you don’t want

How to Make DIY Wooden Frame for Litecoin/Dogecoin Rig!

Well, it’s been a very long time since my last post but I am back, better than ever!

I took a 3-week trip to South Korea in January to see my parents and during that time I couldn’t wait to build rigs again.  But during that 3-week off, I did a whole lot of research on how to make even more efficient litecoin rigs than using milk crates.

First, I considered using square aluminum tubing, which some of the miners are using but the cost of using aluminum was a bit too much (near $50 range) and also aluminum conducts electricity, not really the best choice.

Here’s a quick update on my Litecoin crate rigs.  When I first started running rigs, I have them all over my house, which resulted in my house warming up from the normal 70 degrees fahrenheit to near 80 degrees fahrenheit.

Well, I did upgrade electricity in my garage couple weeks back and moved all my rigs into my garage now and for awhile it was doing fine.  When I started adding more rigs to my garage, my garage started feeling like Thailand (yes, that country between earth and the sun)!

Since I live few blocks away from the Pacific Ocean here in SF Bay Area,

How to Build Crate Litecoin Rig with 5 or 6 Graphic Cards!

111 Replies
To maximize your Litecoin rig and also to get the most out of your dollar (bang for your dollar), you will want to build your Litecoin rig out of something like a milk crate and put as many graphic cards on it.

The maximum number of graphic cards you can put on a motherboard currently is around 6 so you don’t have to build 2 machines when you can do it with one.

In this step-by-step tutorial, I will show you how to make such a crate-based Litecoin rig out of a milk crate with 5 graphic cards.  (You can also put 6 graphic cards, depending on what graphic cards you use.)
