If you read through the readme for cgminer you will find that "T" is Target speed and "P" is where the speed has Plateaued at. The plateau speed should be very close to your target speed. If it isn't either the stick is getting too hot or perhaps you just need to increase Vcore a tiny bit using the adjustment pot.

Plenty of discussion about that in existing threads...
Short summary: Some states have excellent pricing, others do not. That will not change aside from possibly a few more states courting miners like Oklahoma is.

Ya may want to expand your search to include the Avalon 841 as well. It is the last of Canaan's non-AB miners with nearly same performance but far better lifetime.

In the US, odds are that unless you are contracting for over say at least 50MW - and are located very close to one - you are not going to find "private deals with a power plant"...

That said, yes there ARE several (but not many) states that have very very low rates with no 'special deals' needed as long as you meet minimum load requirements and possibly a restriction on your usage when there is a major weather-related event affecting the Grid (think Texas). The huge farms that are moving there throttle back when the power is needed elsewhere and in fact are paid by the Utilities when that happens. How much are they paid? Unknown, probably nowhere enough to make up for lost mining revenue but coupled with lower overall rates certainly enough to cushion the impact of temporarily cutting back their power usage.

Only problem with #3 that I see is logistics and folks being VERY unhappy about having to also pay duties on the miners when they arrive in their country.

All in all there is no clean & easy way out of the mess but then again for a myriad of reasons already covered here and in other threads I sure as hell would NEVER have used Compass -- or ANY other company like them where you have no solid proof of 'your' physical miner even existing. As Mikey has said it is far too easy for a company to contract out the hash rate = to your 'purchase'. A few companies have done that in the past and is a cert bet that others will do it again.

If you bother to read the ckpool thread thread where this post belongs you would know that already...
Requesting mods to move it.

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cgminer build from Kano to run them because -vh's versions do not have the ASIC chip driver needed and of course -ck's outdated versions do not either.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.

Not surprised in the least. Considering that as I've said before regarding flare gas mining, drilling companies pay a very hefty penalty for flaring I'm rather amazed it took so long for the major gas/oil companies to start doing it.

Yes it still burns the gas and releases CO2 and in the amounts of gas needed to feed 100's of kw worth of engines/generators the companies will be paying emission taxes but - because the gas is being put to use and not simply flared those taxes are much lower than flaring penalties.

The generators and com links are already in place to power the drilling site equipment and monitor/control things so it makes for a perfect setup.

Yes using the USB-C format should be the way to go because that is headed to be the global standard for small device data and power delivery. Buutttt...

That said you have to remember one thing: The USB protocol is a master-slave setup and any USB port MUST be either a master or a slave. One way used to enforce that distinctions is the USB-A and USB-B connectors. The flat/wide 'A' side plugs into the master (pc of some sort) while perpherials - being slaves - like a printer get the square 'B' connectors.

When UBS-PD was created it kept the same master-slave setup and when it comes to delivering power the PD port is a master. Thing is that means it cannot also be a data xfr master port at the same time because 2 masters cannot control the same port. You can however have the PD port be a data slave with a 'smart' device at the other end of the cable as the data master and a power slave fed by the PD port allowing the 2 to transfer data back and forth using the 1 cable for both power and data.

So yes, you could make a stick or module that uses USB-C PD for high power delivery BUT the port it plugs into cannot also be the data master and that rules out having the 1-port (cable) idea of a tiny PC w/PD port running a stick or whatever.

Good thing smart I are! 

Regarding the LED's, their operation is hard wired to respond when the com channel is active/inactive. Just use a magic marker or dark nail polish to paint them.

This Forum will not help anyone attempting to evade taxes. How fair your country is regarding taxation in irrelevant.
That said, even if a rental site gave you a receipt for money paid to them, your tax authorities would/should know that the rental site also pays you and would look into it so you are no better off trying to hide your income like that.

The total hash rate of a solo pool is irrelevant because only 1 physical miner gets the block and only the 1 owner of that hardware gets the rewards. It might be a Compac Ferrari running 360GHs or it could be a 93THs Avalon. Hash ran by others in the pool does not mean anything to the results.

And you come to that conclusion because they will not release their schematics? Bzzzt wrong! Considering that Bitmain, Innosilicon, Hotmine, Bitfury et al not to mention video card makers, mobo makers, etc do not release their hardware and software designs to the Public by your reasoning they too are 'shady'...

For running the Ferrari you must use Kano's latest version because no others have the driver that he had to write for CGminer to work with the ASIC chip used on the F.  Beyond that, Kano also cleaned up code that -vh wrote to support the chips that Sidehack's older sticks use including adding the -tune2 option for them.

"All YouTubers are talking about KOI Miner" or "all" reddit or "all" twitter folks is more than enough reason to stay far far away as it is very very easy to create fake reviews....

If long time folks here have not heard of it be very very wary!

Google "psu paperclip"
One result is https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025085372-How-to-Test-a-power-supply-unit
That applies to all makes & models of PC PSU's.

If you can stand touching the heatsink for more than several seconds then temp is fine.

Makes sense in a way. Many if not most folks have more than 1 miner so we do that automatically so never really ran into that before as all my miners have unique dot<names>...

Yer 1st Merit given for bringing that up

Folks, do NOT post the obvious like Zoe and Roger just did. You risk the posts being deleted by moderators as being (very) low quality because you are only restating what is or damn well should be well known facts.

edit: @Hagss, Looks like the Mods did their thing as da posts are gone

Bzzzt -- WRONG.
The OP would only use a radio as link from miner(s) to a distant internet connection (router). That has nothing to do with the algorithm. Any method of linking a miner to the internet will work.
