#Gridseed cgminer software

That's 400kh/s more with the Gridseed for the same price. I can pull the fans off and stack and run drawing 4 watts each and I don't have to buy a new PSU. I'll also need supporting products like risers and beefed up PSU. Power consumption will be around 90 watt. A GPU that I can hash about 800kh/s will run me around $300. Finally, my monthly cost of operation (electric bill) is also a determining factor. Also, my initial capital investment is a barrier to entry and needs careful consideration. I've determined that my limited programming and mining experience needs to be weighed heavily. Since I'm a newbie, setup difficulty is a consideration. I've weighed GPU's and ASICs, SHA and Scrypt. I've been studying mining for the past three months and I'm at the point of doing something, anything. Personally, I am building a single gpu rig (1500-1800 khs) that doubles for gaming, and adding some asics later after I see where it goes.Д®DIT: By SINGLE gpu rig I mean a single rig with 3 7950's :p But like I said, you will probably have a lot more headaches and it will become a demanding second job. You will have a faster return on investment (assuming low equipment failure rate and mining uptime), can have a kick ass gaming rig if you outfit one of them for such, and most likely be able to sell equipment later on for less of a loss. With this set up, you will spend a LOT of time ironing out issues, setup, dead components, tweaking, etc. (Most bitcoin ASIC equipment is no longer profitable and selling for dirt cheap) A gpu farm AS OF THIS WRITING is still competitive with less power hungry Asics, but that could change very quickly. Less equipment, less management, but less resell value once they become obsolete. (Based on Goldcoin mining, #1 on right now) Gridseed: 3500+/- khs $3,827.69 annual profit// $1800-$2300 upfront 7950:- 6000 +/- khs $5,079.57 annual profit// $2870-$3000 upfront Both have their pro's and con's: A gridseed farm in theory should be less of a headache. These charts are based on 10 gridseed miners vs 10 sapphire 7950s at $200 bought used with other necessary hardware factored. but it is interesting 'RESEARCH' either way to play around with one of those sites profit spreadsheets. GPU cards? worst case scenario on the top end cards 50%? Add this into your calculation or dont. what is the recover cost of your hardware? Gridseed.? potentially close to zero.

I use 290x cars at 920 khs right now that cost $650 (cheaper now). and produces X Kilohashes.again check your own specs. just divide $25,000 by the cost of the card. You would be able to buy how many gpu cards. considering a Gridseed costs $250 (for demo purpose) and produces 350 khs 7 watts and you can buy 100 of these at that price. use $25,000 worth of product for each Gridseed and GPU cards. It takes into account, hash hardware cost to give a nice spread sheet break even and profitability calculations. But it isn't suitable for actually mining with its own CPU or GPU.If you go to a site like coinwarz and enter in the variables on 2 side by side screens you can pretty much answer all your hypothetical questions. The Raspberry Pi is certainly capable of that task, and it is cheap and uses little electricity of its own.

It is well suited to the latter task, since controlling ASIC miners requires very little in the way of CPU performance just the ability to run a minimal operating system with network access, and some simple software to fetch work from the network and feed it to the ASICs. However, most people use it in a very different way: not to do the mining itself, but as a controller for ASIC mining devices (typically for Bitcoin and other SHA256 coins, not scrypt).

The asker probably got this idea because there is lots of discussion on the Internet about using the Raspberry Pi for mining. It appears that current versions of cgminer have removed scrypt support altogether.ДЄs Hб»“ TuбєҐn Kiб»‡t points out, a Raspberry Pi would be hopelessly underpowered for CPU mining of any kind, so this would be a really ineffective idea even if it worked. The asker evidently did not enable it, which is why it does not work. Might as well give this old question an answer.Д¬gminer 3.7.2 (which was obsolete even when this question was asked) required scrypt to be enabled as a compile-time option with.
