I'm wondering if there was part of the solder pad/track lifted with it, or if there is a via busted under it..

Just got a message from sidehack. (with dot in the end)(Brand new account)
Telling me he has 10 units for sale... Be aware he is a scummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good to know, "sidehack ." registered on: 2015-12-14 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=689169(same as "sidehack`" u=487776 and "sidehack `" u=564701) |

Having the same problem as most users
Stick is connect to power USB 3.0 hub - connect to 2.0 (unpowered) hub - connect to rasberry (latest raspbian)
is dectected with driver but when starting CGminer, receive error: no usb devices detected.
With the option U & L, I can see the usb device as "known"
But cannot activate it.
Any suggestions?
same as everyone else, the rPI doesn't do usb3 hubs well (if at all), plug the stick into the usb2 hub. you can pull up a terminal and test to see if the system sees it by typing: you should see a list of USB items and hubs plugged in, including internal, what you are looking for is: Bus ### Device ###: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x UART Bridge / myAVR mySmartUSB light |

Well, I'll attempt to recreate the "issue" and I'll get another screen-cap. I thought it was funny watching the little thing pulling 150GHs, I was waiting for smoke to bellow out!
Since the thing is sitting on a EEEPC701, to much voltage pulled would shut the system down, not make it pop a fuse.. I can see the green light dropping intensity when voltage starts getting pulled..
I haven't seen that either but then I'm not overclocking that much or using hubs as powerful as yours. I cant believe you wanted to re-create it, perhaps you really are as crazy as the guy in your avatar  . Well, that was my face when it first happened, that surprised disbelieved look |

Well if it's anything like the last gen of Bitfury chips, they'll keep them all to themselves. If it's like the one before that they'll sell but won't provide any documentation. But that sounds like one heck of a chip.

for those overclocking this sticks, anyone had a runaway? aka, it spitting all the hashing output blue light just flashing as if its doing 10 sticks, causing rejects and hardware errors ontop of actual accepted hashes? my stick went nuts hashing about 125-130GH/s then CGMiner dropped it, it seems to happen when I hit the 400MHz.. i attempted to get a screenshot of it happening, but i got it when it was going at 47GH/s.. none the less, the blue light was just going nuts ..  |

i have little experience with these, but to me where that resistor and diode network is, it looks like a low pass filter protection for an input? (please, anyone know better can tell me how wrong i am)
since there is 3 lots there, R180 and R34 to the diodes were taking up the slack of the missing R35, going by the solder pads there its been gone for some time, but the 2 last remaining resistors looks burned out. Odd really with the little signal wire that its running, but the amount of damage there is, i assume its got something to do with voltage control, and not comms?
To repair, you gotta know what that little network is for, i don't own one, so i cant say, cant probe it. Then you got to attempt to, of course rebuild it..
there is what looks to be a clone at the top section of the board, R25 to R29 and R179, and R29 looks to be the match.. in fact it looks as if almost every ASICs have one of these from an output..

you PM'ed them about it? if you haven and they didn't respond, I guess take it as donation.. |

anyone knowing any way disable green /blue blinking lights ?
So there just no light at all?
i have a nice little fix, Black electric tape. one loop of it around the stick should do. |

The heatsink is awesome but what's the raw looking stuff in the sardine can behind the nine sticks? I'm thinking it's a biological voltage control adjustable by flicking some of the barnacle bits toward one end of the can or the other. It's probably top secret though, so I understand if you can't talk about it  You see, the sardine can is my little biological bitcoin miner im working on, you know how hard it is to feed that plankton when you live in the middle of australia?... the rest is just desoldering crap pushed aside on the table to sit the laptop down. not really, the can is my soldering iron cleaner.. i really do need to clean up that table, stripping off little SMD components just to get the circuit board clean (to get the gold/silver off the pcbs, and the Palladium/silver out of the smd capacitors) does get messy.. |

Just noticed your pic with the monster heatsink, jesus....  . its a sink for a Northbridge with ether a massive CPU heatsink, or for the Southbridge with large GPUs but none the less, its moving the heat off nicely, ambient is 20 degrees Celsius, sink is 35 43 degrees at the top fin. im wondering if running the 2 instances of CGMiner, on the 1 login causes one to drop the whole lot of miners its working with (eg: the 9 sticks all go down then reset usb connection) |

stick or donating? gotta add that at the end |

If I ask you to prove you are mining with a compac stick and you can't prove it you will be banned and marked with a negative trust.
Thanks for running this again, Phil, it's a lot of fun. I like and support the new rules, but I have a question about the above - did we have an issue with this either of the last 2 runs that made it a point to bold for this run? I hope not, but just curious. Maybe part of being in the club each month is that the user must post a picture of their stick with a handwritten note that says "sidehack compac pool Dec 11 - Jan 11" each time, only altering the date on the note. We had zero issues but if you go to my diff giveaway thread WE have had the issue for the first time. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1278803.msg13215788#msg13215788BTW all three newbie accounts did not contact me and most likely were looking to score. There is a a really good chance they are the same guy. Thus the nasty line was added here. I think you are supposed to have all your donation at one donation address, makes book keeping simpler. For normal people it would make sense but aj is far from normal!  He has a beast stick sitting alone And if I recall he has a ton of other mods. So if his internal setup needs 3 lines it is cool. I rather 1 line for sticks and one for donation but his setup is better with 3 lines. AJ post the beast stick photo again pretty please. again?  here it be the one i was getting the hack on and here is a old pic of the other 9:  and a recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCTxG20xpB8ignore Steve Gibson talking about microsofts security issues in the background |

I think you are supposed to have all your donation at one donation address, makes book keeping simpler. well, avalon and the sticks are running on 2 instances of cgminer, and i don't thing you can log in under the same worker in different instances..set the avalon to donations2 as is the 9 sticks, donations can be dropped |

now i see why Monarchs are going cheap here in aus.. so much more effort you need to get them running right..
300aud for 700gh/s monarch, or $100 for a ~60gh/s U3.. (or $90 for a S1, but 10 hour travel required to obtain it..)

I should've looked at the actual pool stats for my best ever 4262886 Just over 4 million. I hope to beat that  I have the stick running at 325 now. A single HW error. Looks like bumping the voltage and adding some cooling was sufficient (its on a 2A powered USB port too). I have a S3, S3+ and a S5 also (right now running at Kano's pool) and the best share from any of them was 600million+ I'd love to see a B but I'm not holding my breath! I dare you to touch the back of the PCB where the chip is a 50W northbridge heatsink will do them nicely, i have a HR-05-SLI strapped to one of mine atm, passive cooling at 800mV, just Luke warm.. LOL even at 275 touch that, ouchy!! lol. Think I should get some thermal past and throw a heat sink on there? not really needed, but, just a simple stick-on RAM heatsink should be enough to pull the heat off that area. im looking into getting RAM heat spreaders (the clip-on metal covers for RAM sticks) to pop onto a stick each, just need to wait for some from china.. |
