Title: LKETC support was Re: OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.9.2
Post by: ngdias on August 01, 2015, 06:36:07 PM
I need help setting up a lketc usb scrypt 220kH miner. I bought it together with an Antminer U1 to test stuff and gain experience. The U1, I got to work with cgminer from Bitmain website without any problems.

The lktec starts heating up as soon as it's plugged in and blinking green. The instructions I got, from the webshop - the official website I found nothing - are terrible. They offer a windows client that fails with errors such as 'ICA0: invalid nonce - HW error'. When I try to use the cgminer.exe lketc supplied with the USB stick (in a cmd line), it complains about noy knowing how to find any devices. I tried fiddling with the -d flag, but nothing worked.

I think it's an icarus chip, but for what I was able to read, the icarus-specific parameters I can set in the cmd line all have defaults and should work implicitly.

Anyone has experience with this? If another miner works better, I'm ok with it ^^

Thanks.

 lketc usb scrypt 220kH miner
cgminer does not do scrypt now, ony sha256.... 
you will need to find a version that has scrypt option.
like I did with my gridseed 5 chip scrypt miners....

Yea, the lketc comes with cgminer 3.1.1...
I got it to work rather easily with bfgminer following examples in the Readme files, but there are still some issues.
I'm going to restart this thread in bfgminer instead and see if I can get help there.
Thanks.
