Cgminer on my Windows 7 32 bit pc after nearly 12 hours since last restart showing a pretty constant 16GB a stick and 0 HW errors.  Is the blue LED an artefact of the picture ? Mine are green and flashing white when hashing... Yes mine are green and white too but it does seem to give off a blueish light. |

Your screenshot shows them working at 8 Gh/s in BFGMiner, despite the errors.
If there's buggy software, it would need to be your OS, since that's where the error is coming from.
But seeing as Windows works fine for plenty of other miners with these same devices, the only difference is your USB hub or motherboard...
I guess its easiest to blame it on the hardware  Have you tried cgminer 4.9.2? Its been running my sticks flawlessly for nearly a week now on Win 7 32 bit. Do you mind sharing your bat file? I also had to copy over that zlib1.dll file from an old version of cgminer, strange how its not in the release and wont run without it? Any help at this point would be appreciated. I was able to get all 5 USB sticks to run in the same Anker hub running MultiMiner-4.0.4 but couldn't get them to get over 3.5 GH/s each, maybe I'm not adding in the correct values in that interface which I am not very familiar with. But to see them all running , even slow in there all at once , AND getting all accepted shares and 0 HW errors poolside, makes me wonder why I cant get it to run on the custom cgminer build , or the bfgminer fail. thanks! No problem . Thats wierd about the zlib1.dll, I thought that was a problem with my pc. My cgminer .bat file is: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick -p x --compac-freq 150 Stock frequency is 150, mine are currently running at 300 / 16GB each with plenty of cooling. Hope that helps, good luck . |

You mean the special build found in the 1st post, not the standard version I believe ? Yes sorry I'm using win32 binary from the OP: Mine installed but without zlib1.dll and wouldn't run so I used the file from another version of cgminer I had. Not sure if that was my virus or firewall software though. |

I would recommend taking a photo and having your username and date in rather than a stock picture.

I thought a RpI2 could ru it with easy. No?
I was thinking of setting up a few at various locations .
It will, but the block chain size is getting to be the problem with running it on a Pi (it takes a 64GB SD card to run it now or it did). Sooner or later, it's going to take a 128 GB SD to run, or a USB HD on the Pi. And I don't know how much lag time USB HD would have on a node. same. I even tried storing the blockchain on a USB HDD and it still wouldn't stay running. People out thetre have a way to turn one into just a transaction verifying node (no --generate command I believe); But that doesnt solve my problem of needing a fallback if CK goes/shuts down =) nicehash has a solo pool that runs almost the same code.. https://solo.nicehash.com/if you want a backup its something to consider. That's good to know thank you for sharing. I've set it as my failover solo pool . |

Thanks for adding me and the others, its good to now officially be part of the club . |

Are these still available from novak or anyone else?
And second question, you need one of these per miner or not?
I would be interested in buying 3 after Blazed get all that he need.
I seem to remember you need one for each miner but I could be wrong. I've got one you can have for free if you want it? Send me a PM with your address and I'll post it to you tomorrow . |

Perfect thank you . I'm still pointing my 2 sticks there. I have another 3 on the way from asicpuppy / crazyguy + a nice powered USB 2.0 hub + fan which should be here next few days so will have a play with overclocking when it all arrives  . |

I rent miners sometimes form nicehash Web site. Which diff setting i must use good performance ckpool site solo mining?
none it auto adjusts. I hit 2 blocks in 2 hours on nicehash pointed to solo here no diff needed. Thanks. So i only wrote x in Password area. I do not write d=1024 etc. Just x is good for the password, the pool will automatically adjust the diff . @philipma1957 @hedgy73 thank you very much for information. i will try solo mining 1 month about 100 TH/s. You're welcome and good luck . Today I fired up a lone S5 (1.1TH) with a Corsair AX860 platinum psu to solo mine for the winter here in the UK to keep the chill off my office. No real chance of finding a block but the way I look at it is that its a £2 a day heater / lottery ticket  . P.S. I changed the fan so its reasonably quiet, wouldn't get any work done with the stock fan all that would do is give me a headache. |

New account + gift card = possible scam = no one will buy from you.
Order it to your own address, take some pictures with your username and date on then come back.
There have been far too many scams on here with newbies and gift cards.

Need one so I can ditch that POS BE controller.
Do you mean Novaks?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=882348.0You could try him first but if he's got none left I've got at least 1 possibly 2 in a spares box somewhere unopened I can try and find for you. |

... (I know I have to clean the floor and put proper shoes)
Proper shoes? you mean, better no shoes? My wife's got slippers like that . |

Thanks to everyone who answered my hub/pi noob questions (sorry if I forgot a name) @irritant @Jake36 @hurricandave @hedgy73 @zOU after reading everything, I conclude that you can probably overclock sticks better on USB 3.0 hub, but Pi does not like it. So, my plan is the following: a.buy powered Anker USB 3.0 hub ( http://www.amazon.com/Anker-10-Port-Transfer-PowerIQ-Charging/dp/B00VDVCQ84) b.put sticks into that hub (advantage-it is 5A hub PLUS each stick can use 800/900ma) c. connect it to a simple non-powered USB 2.0 hub, like this one ( http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-4-Port-Individual-Switches-HB-UMLS/dp/B00BWF5U0M) d. connect USB 2.0 hub (Sabrent) to raspberry pi. e. last, but not least, instead of using an ethernet cable to connect to router (or maybe as an option), use Edimax to connect through Wi-Fi: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MTTJOYI just think that USB3 is better powered to drive sticks and if a simple usb2 bridge to pi is Ok, then this setup should work. The fallback if this doesn't work would be to return Anker and get Etekcity USB 2.0 (4A) or 9-10 ports Orico USB 2.0. No problem at all, I guess we're all helping each other out here . I'm probably the same as everyone else, its been such a long time ( years ) since I used a usb miner or bfgminer / cgminer I've had to learn it all again . Thanks for sharing what you intend to do, please keep us informed if it works alright . |

Quick question guys. I've been mining on this pool with my 2 sticks for well over 24 hours now to the address given to me a few posts back: 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick Just wanted to make sure this is correct as I'm not listed on the pool stats page: http://poolmonitor.cryptoglance.info/Cryptoglance needs to add you in, but I think you started early. It was supposed to be starting on the Nov 11th round, If I remember right. So Philipma will have to answer, if you should maybe do .hedgy73donation for the next couple of days or not. Then switch to .hedgy73stick on Nov 11th (new round with 40 slots). Ah yes you could be right about the dates. I'll leave them pointed there as they are for now until I hear whether to change anything. |

I wonder if the reason Raspberry Pi's dont like powered USB 3.0 hubs is because all Pi's use USB 2.0?
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/usb/README.mdDEVICES WITH KNOWN ISSUES
1. Interoperability between the Raspberry Pi and USB3.0 hubs
There is an issue with USB3.0 hubs in conjunction with the use of Full- or Low-speed devices (most mice, most keyboards) and the Raspberry Pi. A bug in most USB3.0 hub hardware means that the Raspberry Pi cannot talk to Full- or Low-speed devices connected to a USB3.0 hub.
USB2.0 high-speed devices, including USB2.0 hubs, operate correctly when connected via a USB3.0 hub.
Avoid connecting Low- or Full-speed devices into a USB3.0 hub. As a workaround, plug a USB2.0 hub into the downstream port of the USB3.0 hub and connect the low-speed device, or use a USB2.0 hub between the Pi and the USB3.0 hub, then plug low-speed devices into the USB2.0 hub. I see now thanks very much . I've just found and ordered a USB 2.0 hub I hope will be ok to run 4, 5 or 6 sticks at stock speed and a fan ( Orico 7 port USB 2.0 60w 12v 5A ): http://www.amazon.co.uk/ORICO-Charging-Adapter-Support-Android/dp/B00U1FZAF4/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1446985643&sr=1-1&keywords=ORICO+U2BCH7 |
