Makes you wonder with things like Formula E https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_E and MotoE https://www.motogp.com/en/motoe such if racing with electric vehicles will be more acceptable to local residents since it is basically silent.

-Dave

Silent Racing??  Hope that never happens.  They would have to install speakers and pipe in the Engine sounds Smiley

Kind of like Lucas had to do with the Pod Racers sound effects.

According to their web site they have deactivated a portion of their units, are installing a a Sound Wall barrier and will convert to immersion cooling.  Are those things not true?

When I was a kid my home town built a "community support" race track at the fairgrounds.  Then the community support turned into people complaining about the the noise Stock Car's make.  Sounds like it could be a similar situation.

Was it the original people or did the neighborhood demographics change? I have seen that a lot the old people want 'X' and years later when they sell the new people look at 'X' and try to get rid of it because they want 'Y'

-Dave


Original People.  The track only operated 2 or 3 season's, if I remember correctly.  The neighborhoods were the same people, more or less.

1) The amount of power that is generated is NOT the problem for the most part. It's the DISTRIBUTION that needs to be updated.

Well, it looks like power distribution is not a problem here.  A Natural Gas Power Generation facility, literally, next door as well as Hydro and Nuclear in the same area. 

But, yes, our power grid had been maxed out for decades now and is in grave need of updating.

Your question = what is mining difficulty ?


Bingo!

I doubt your laptop will provide the needed 3.1, or so, Amps.  A powered hub would be better, but most of those don't provide that much current either.  Sidehack makes his own powered hub for this purpose.  Windoze doesn't work well, most people use a Pi 4 and a GekkoScience Hub.

Make sure you have a good fan on it too.

Well, I guess after you try a new USB cable, you need to contact the dealer you bought it from.
9  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience has a new pod miner, just in time for Christmas on: October 04, 2023, 07:58:24 PM
Did you install the WinUSB driver?

are you refering to zadig to install winusb to the device? if so zadig doesnt detect the device as connected so no ive not installed it.

Yes, I'm referring to using Zadig to install the WinUSB driver.  So if the device isn't being recognized then you must have bad hardware somewhere, miner, PC, cable, Power Supply, ...

Well, you have to get that done, it's not optional.

Still makes no sense resurrecting a decade old thread instead of posting in the proper support thread.

Is this website legit?

https://gekkoscience.org/


Charles-Tim, it's not likely a scam it's guaranteed to be a scam. I run GekkoScience, have since we started in 2013, and I have no idea who's running the linked site. It is 100% a scam.

Also, you should be posting in the actual support thread for this miner instead creating unneeded threads.

Just in case you didn't see it:

Well, in your green circle the 01 means one chip and the + means it's using ASIC Boost.

Most of this is explained in this thread and/or in Kano's support page.

Yes, it only takes 1/2 an amp and the stock RPI port can put out way more then that.


I'm definitely not suggesting running it off of the USP port of a RPI.

I just meant any USB Powered Hub should be sufficient for a USB Block Erupter.  I used to run 4 of them and an Artic Breeze fan per 5 Port Rosewill hub which has a 2.5 amp Power Supply, if I remember correctly.
Sam
19  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Setting block erupter sapphire! on: June 09, 2023, 01:13:58 PM

BUT you will need a powered USB hub, those units do not put out even close to enough power though the USB to run a stick miner.

-Dave

Dave,
He is using 1, original, Block Erupter.  It only consumes 2.5 watts of power.  So any USB hub can power this and an Artic Breeze Fan.

It seems to find blocks, but for some reason the worker is offline all the time. And is it possible to somehow run this ASIC on Raspberry or Orange, so as not to use Windows?

Your miner is working fine.  It is hashing at 335Mhash, which is correct for that miner.  That pool is showing it offline because your miner hasn't found a share meeting the pool's minimum difficulty, yet, and that is because your miner is only hashing at 335Mhash's, that is old GPU speed.

It isn't broke so don't fix it.  You have accomplished your mission.  Your old miner is mining.

It is not finding blocks, only reporting that blocks are being found.

Edit:  You can try mining on Kano.is, it has an 8k minimum difficulty and will adjust down to 442.  Your best share is 128k so that would have submitted a share.  However Kano doesn't allow GPU's so his pool may ban you for being GPU speed.  You can also try solo.ckpool.org it has similar minimum difficulty and adjustments.

Edit2: Looking at your screen shot again, with my glasses, I see that it has submitted a share and the pool is showing you an estimated hash rate based on that one share submission.  So the pool says it is working as well.  So don't get wrapped around the axle about the offline thing as that is only because of the slow share submission rate.

Your miner is working so just bask it the warm glow of your success.
