Depending on the pool, it will automatically adjust the difficulty so your miner should find, on average, XX Shares per Minute.
e.g. on kanopool and maybe also ckpool, the pool automatically adjusted your miners difficulty to 18 shares/min

I'm new to the forum and I didn't know the compact f, I thought it was amazing, I mine with gpu at the moment.
I would like to know if with compact f I can mine other SHA256 coins?
Should do no problem |

it will completely depend what your power costs are

I wonder if they would ever make these commercially given the bad press crypto mining has been getting recently.
Intel are a global household name, and getting involved in the "dirty eco-killing" mining business might a PR step in the wrong direction.

I've heard people still getting US import duty because although it is shipped from Malaysia the original manufacturing is still China
Not true, the actual manufacturing happens in Malaysia (recently also in Indonesia) and so these gears are not made in China and won't be treated as Chinese products when they arrive at the U.S, in fact, many Bitmain gears that are located in HK are made in one of those two countries, it seems like Bitmain is trying to fully migrate from China, probably because 1- The Chinese Ban. 2- To get away with no China tariff. It's pretty obvious by now that the biggest players are located in the U.S, it's to bitmain and their large clients' best interest that Bitmain moves outside of China, the 25% saved is good for everyone, Bitmain can just add 5% or 10% on the initial sale price and the U.S clients will still happily accept it since they can save 20% or 15%. I still don't understand why do they move many of these non-Chinese made gears back to HK, maybe they can't handle the logistics outside of China yet, but the way I see it is that it's only a matter of time before every Bitmain gear becomes non-Chinese made, and that's bad news for the difficulty. Good to know |

or the demand for over priced gear ⚙️ has stopped.
my estimate for proper pricing is the 130 k deals should be more like 90k
they bear watching. to see if they sell out or get cheaper.
There also seems to be some gear coming from Malaysia, so no tariff. Maybe a big player who wants $10M worth of gear is paying $70/TH right now... I've heard people still getting US import duty because although it is shipped from Malaysia the original manufacturing is still China |

Hello,
Did anybody receive batch 3 shipping notification?
What's around order ## is currently processing?
Just curious how soon my order 47xx will be process.
Thanks
We built up a lot of units last week since production has finally ramped up to full speed after the holidays, there will be lots of shipments this week. Thank You! Received my shipment ##. Nice! Did you get any notification it was shipped or did it just show up? Was it sent to your mailbox or dropped off via fedex or ups? I'm just curious if I should be keeping my eyes on my mailbox, door, or email box. Thanks! Next time drop us some pictures man. You seem to be the first guy to get one from the latest batch and we're all chomping at the bit for something we can lay our eyes on.  I think he just got a shipment number? |

Sure looks like a power supply decoupling cap to me since there is a polarity mark on the largest component on the backside of the hash chip PCB (2 pin component).
Right - makes sense, thanks guys! I just assumed diode since it has the distinct polarity mark which diodes also have. But it seems a cap makes more sense in this part of the circuit. I'm surprised your works without the cap in place, @Biffa! Then I'll see if I can get it working simply without that. Would still be great to hear what component this is (specifications) so it can be replaced if it is missing or blows / melts like in that case. The stick should still run without that part. My first prototypes didn't have it; I just put it on there to help compensate with wiggly power from weaker USB ports and it kinda sounds like your USB port is not weak.

Does anyone know the model number and / or parameters of the diode that is directly behind the mining chip (like on the opposite side of the PCB)?
I recently got my hands on a Compac F where that diode is missing. Would be sick to get it working! Sidehack will have to chime in to confirm but I believe it is a capacitor -- not a diode. Somewhere further back in the thread there is talk about measuring the Vcore across it and it was referred to as a cap.. Mine melted off when I first got one. Sidehack assured me its not a vital component and mine has been hashing away fine ever since. |

There were US manufacturers of bitcoin miners, Butterfly Labs, Cointerra, Hashfast. They all ended up as bankrupt scams. (There are posters here still around who got burned bad who might chip in) Then we had KNC in Europe, started out well, ended up a disaster, then Spondoolies in Israel, who again started out strong, then diminished to nothing in the onslaught of bitmain. Although all these "manufacturers" pretty much depended on TSMC and Global Foundries for chip production. There are others, if you're interested take a look here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_Bitcoin_mining_ASICs not sure how up-to-date it is with the latest ASIC's but its interesting from a historical standpoint. |

I left mine updating last night, but it wasn't mining this morning, restarted the miner to no avail, in the end it needed a system restart to sort itself out.

Hi, anybody has a pointer to the instructions about how to set up a gekko compac F usb stick to mine BTC coin or any other coins?
I went to solo.ckpool.org to try to find information, but I seem got lost there.
Thanks

Gmail seemed to let it through though.
my email with them is a gmail address - still never got anything from them. Maybe they hate you  |

I tried to access the .net version and yes I can access it but the problem is ViaBTC doesn't inform their miners about switching to new domain. I tried to check on twitter but no they don't mention it and also I heard another site from other reddit and telegram support about this domain below Yes, I can access it but the problem is no admin yet or even the support claim that these are their new domains. Going to stop mining for a while until admin and support claim that .net and .top are their new domains. Check your email account that you are registered to viabtc with, they sent emails about about it 22 hours ago. I never got any email from them. checked spam and still nothing. As DaveF said in the other thread, they had some missing or badly setup DKIM and SPF settings which, for some mail servers, would have meant their email would have just been bounced. (depending on the strictness of the antispam rules on the server) Gmail seemed to let it through though. |

Can confirm .top addresses for mining work, .net address for main web site legit.
Just had an auto-payout go through as normal.

What you're doing is fine as long as its a learning experience and you don't expect any returns. None of us know your background, Phil is just letting you know that if you are doing it with the expectation of making it rich, well thems the odds  Otherwise, carry on brother, looks like you are having fun and learning along the way. |
