Well darn it, why didn't you post a day or two sooner?  I already have the 4 amp hub I linked earlier shipped to me, I think it's good for 4 sticks. If I need more juice I'll order the 10 amp from eyeboot, thanks for the links. |

First, no hub with bfgminer using .bat = bfgminer.exe -o [pool] -u [user] -p [pass] --set compac:clock=x0b83 1) bfgminer530 will not see the sticks on my old WinXP box. Neither starting bfg with them (or just 1) plugged in nor hot plugging while bfg is running wakes them up. The program just sits there and asks me to add hardware. 2) bfgminer530 on my Win7 box sees the sticks, however I get comms errors. Here is just 1 stick: http://i57.tinypic.com/317gjkp.jpg3) when I plug a 2nd stick in the errors happen twice as often: http://i57.tinypic.com/k3q70p.jpgThis has dropped back several pages and I'm still struggling with the Comms error, I cannot figure out what is causing it. Any one have any suggestions? And here's another issue to toss around, on my Win7 box the --set compac:clock tag in my .bat file for bfgminer has no effect on the sticks. I tried several different values and the sticks always hashed at the same rate. I tried omitting the command from my batch file entirely and the sticks hashed the same. What's going on?
you have an old xp laptop you can't upgrade further on the windows stepladder use Unbuntu 12.04 (that is the highest i can use on my old only good for xp laptops)
Been wanting to build a linux machine for a while, may as well start out with the old laptop, good idea. Thanks, I'll get back when I get around to installing it. |

Thanks for adding me to the list. I set up a window in my cryptoglance to monitor the club separate from my other miners:  The odds are against us, but if we did hit one that would be pretty cool.  |

Can the voltage be adjusted on the fly while the stick is hashing, or do I need to shut it down and unplug it? BFGMiner is plug-and-play... :p

I tried on my WinXP laptop as well and 530 did not see the compac. *shrug |

It's an OK hub, but I never got it to work reliably beyond 6 actual U1/U2 miners. I tried all different combinations, and it had 12V coming from an old AT power supply. It's a dandy5-6 port with wide spacing. If you are expecting to actually support 10 sticks, I predict you will be disappointed. Maybe it could be improved with some internal "surgery". I didn't try that. It does take in 12V, so there is obvious a 12V-to-5V step down converter.
This one looks like a company took the Orico I just linked and did a bit of work on beefing it up: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JEVRXQAMaybe I'll go for this one instead. I only have 4 compacs, so I think it's adequate for those OC'd a little, plus a fan. |

Now I just need to find decent 4 port USB 2 powered hub. Unfortunately everything on the ORICO is USB 3 now. I've heard that USB 3 is problematic with RPi's.
If anyone can recommend a decent inexpensive 4 port USB 2 powered hub that has been known to work with the Pi, that would be great.
Here's a 10 port Orico usb 2.0 hub: http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-P10-U2-External-Desktop-Adapter/dp/B00EH44AA6/I'm thinking of grabbing one to mess around with. |

There's no way anyone would even know you changed your password, why the concern? People change passwords all the time, it's a common security practice.
False. https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.phpIn addition, admins have access to even more information on how it was done. I guess what I meant to write, or rather the intent of my statement, was that no one would care. |

Also I don't think you can see your statistics until phil adds you to the list, as I'm also looking forward to.
The stats are generated by ckpool, phil's list is just record keeping I believe. e.g. here are the stats of my compac pointed to the club address: {"hashrate1m": "9.52G", "hashrate5m": "8.87G", "hashrate1hr": "8.16G", "hashrate1d": "1.6G", "lastupdate": 1442611648, "bestshare": 101333.67748123179} |

They don't come out of the box with any frequency set, you do that with the command line. Haven't checked with bfgminer, but cgminer detecting the old ones as Antminer U3 defaults to 225MHz, the gekko build of cgminer detecting the production ones as Compacs seems to default to 125MHz. Out of the box, I plugged them into cgminer/win 7 and cgminer reported them as 225 Mhz. I didn't set anything. Mine was one of the last ones shipped and I think novac may have upped the frequency. Also the voltage screw was already set at 1:00 o' clock.
My bad, I thought you had to use a command line tag to set the frequency, I didn't know they'd autostart without any prompting. |

Telling people what a "detector find" is might be helpful as well.

Pointed a tiny bit of hash here that runs on a computer that I don't have to pay electricity for, so a bit of free microearnings for me each block. Even the dust adds up eventually... |

I really hope the "(+2.90%) for now" is close to get back to the 2 percent norm would be nice. I'm still not sure though I think there are still a lot of S7's to be made. Hashnest specifically I think would be a batch itself.
I think that's wishful thinking, I feel another >5% shift this round, but we shall see. A lot is dependent on the S7s getting out, as has been stated. Let the fun begin! |

but they came out of the box set at 225

Hey Mike,
How long did you let BFGMiner run? It seems like I need almost 10 minutes before my hardware normalizes from the hardware errors when I'm hashing against CKPool.

I'm not seeing hardware errors, that would be indicative of something like too like power for the frequency. Here are 2 sticks after almost an hour, note hardware errors are minimal, but the comms errors persist:  |

I've used epay faucets a lot and never had any issues with receiving payments.
Considering you didn't spend any coin to use their faucets, there's nothing to scam.
An error is not a scam, don't cry wolf.

And if i know where the owner of this site lives i would take his life  and all other gambling site owners ,. That's enough to get law enforcement knocking on your door. Threats like this are taken seriously. Don't worry, there's lots of gambling in prison. |

11.5% error rate.
Dude, something is not right with your setup, you shouldn't be seeing any errors, let alone 11%. (!) 0.1% errors would be high, and you are 100x higher than that. |
