Title: cgminer command line for 3 Workers
Post by: Cas1m1r on April 19, 2022, 12:35:22 AM
To start my bitcoin mining experience I have purchased the bitcoin merchant 3x Gekko Compac F combo with Raspberry Pi 4 preinstalled with cgminer.  I want to set each mining stick as a different worker on slushpool.  I enter the following terminal commands:

cd git/vthoang/cgminer
sudo  ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 u myacctname.palermo1

Terminal responds showing 3 chips ramping up to 200-300 h/s each

Switching to slushpool shows one Worker named palermo1, status OK ramping up to 302.8 GH/s scoring hashrate.

This appears to be only one chip working???  All three sticks are blinking and working minimal heat.  How do I change my code to get three workers running around 300 GH/s each?

Help appreciated as I am having difficulty learning to do this.

Maybe you will need to overclock them I check the cgminer command you can adjust the frequency of this USB stick. Read the command line below

Code:
--compac-freq <arg> Set GekkoScience Compac frequency in MHz, range 100-500 (default: 150.0)

Or if not then try to seek help from this official thread below don't forget to read the first page there are some commands that I think you can try.

The OP mentions that he is trying to run the Compac F - you need the latest cgminer build from Kano to run them because -vh's versions do not have the ASIC chip driver needed and of course -ck's outdated versions do not either. https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer

Home thread for the Compac Ferrari is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5355470.msg57735149#msg57735149 that is also where you find the installation instructions. Use the link in the opening post there to jump to the install instructions and suggested running commands.
