thx sidehack.  all over it.

BTW, here they are in action:

"GSE 2: Terminus BM1384 Bitcoin Miner (10030213)
 [2018-04-20 23:21:48.650] GSE 2: found 0 chip(s)
 [2018-04-20 23:21:48.651] Hotplug: GekkoScience added GSE 2
 [2018-04-20 23:21:48.651] GSE 2 failure, disabling!
 [2018-04-20 23:21:48.651] GSE 2: setting frequency to 100.00MHz"

Worked great for two days - almost a straight 48 hours @225MHz in a cooled environment w/ a window fan.  Shut down (unplugged 12v brick) when I was rebooting main system (OS X) and when powered unit back up I noticed that the fans were not turning and got the above message from cgminer. (4.10.0)

Awesome product sidehack / vh and thanks for all the work!  I suspect the unit is dead however.  Purchased from source (sales@gekkoscience.com) so am I able to send for repair or replacement and if so what is the procedure?  If I missed a post regarding this issue plz just throw a link at me.

Thanks in advance!


BTW - Here's what's going on with the mine:

10x 2Pac's on 2x Anker hubs @150MHz (5x ea.)
2x Terminus 808's @ 225MHz
AVG:  190 - 445Gh/s

AWESOME!!

sidehack...  man, thanks for the speedy response!!!  I'll give it a try and report back, hopefully successfully.

Also, very sincerely thanks for all the effort and wishing you great success with your ongoing & upcoming projects.  I'll stay tuned in fo' sho'.

Greetings.

Has anyone successfully compiled the vthong/cgminer for these really cool looking sticks (thanks in advance vh/sidehack!!!) on OS X (Sierra 10.12.6) lately and its working for you?

Here's my situation:

- 1 2pac on on ANKER 5v hub.
- Total String voltage set @ ~1.47v. -  double...  triple...  every try (you know what they say about insanity, right?)...  voltage checked.
- compiled vthong/cgminer from git using all instructions provided throughout this thread, the various README texts & the ckolivas/cgminer thread using autotools build process as well as trying the ./configure, make, make install method.  (--enable-gekko --enable-icarus) Even tried Homebrew but no new taps for the 2pac code.
- removed all other usb devices (usb hub, keyboard & mouse excepted)
- ran the "sudo usermod -G plugdev -a `whoami`
sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo reboot" commands.  I'm thinking that is for the Linux build process, but wtf at this point.  No go.
- every time cgminer is launched (in Terminal) this is the output:

 [2017-12-08 20:57:05.386] Started cgminer 4.10.0
 [2017-12-08 20:57:05.387] Loaded configuration file /Users/**user**/.cgminer/cgminer.conf

 [2017-12-08 20:57:06.221] Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit
 etc.

I've tried the older solutions suggested in both threads - Fabulous Panda, Asteroid (I think its called), etc.

Maybe I'm in the wrong thread for this issue and apologize in advance if so...  but I'm just at wit's end.

I have very basic coding skills (in fact, the last thing I wrote WAS actually in BASIC!?!) so please be gentle and would you very very intelligent folks maybe offer some suggestions, pointers, links, anything that might help get me on the right track.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Problem solved!

Using bfgminer to control 5770 in Terminal.  Works great.  55Mh/s+!  Working on squeezing a little more out of it.

Update...  all seem to be working properly again!?!

Running GUIMiner/poclbm v2011-11-22 fine (20+Mh/s each on several GPUs) until Monday 12/22 and the application just stopped running on 3 systems simultaneously??!!??

Keep getting this error on all miners/systems:

Unexpected error:
2013-12-29 22:34:11: Listener for "user": Traceback (most recent call last):

2013-12-29 22:35:47: Listener for "user" shutting down

Any help?  A pointer to a topic I'm missing??

I suspect that maybe since mining difficulty has shifted to 1B+ that maybe there's something to the "...requires a string argument of length 32" error but I just don't have the knowledge to track down an answer.

I've looked for updated miners & gui's, searched The Bitcoin Forum, etc. and no answers.

Thanks in advance for replies.

Running MacPro G-4.1 on OSX 10.6.8 and GUIMiner/poclbm v2011-11-22 will not start mining with ATI Radeon HD 5770. No flags crashes & -v flag never connects to pool (BTCMP).

I suspect since this is an older OSX Machine & maybe mismatched GPU that maybe I'm missing a driver or firmware update for the ATI 5770.  Getting about 50Mh/s with ganged GeForce cards on seperate machines (prob losing $$$) but the ATI 5770 would triple capacity.  Still "dry-panning at Carbon Creek" but its something.  Any help greatly appreciated!

Of particular note in Thread 2 - "1   ...pple.ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver   0x000000010bce33d8 glrCompLoadBinary + 3560"  Maybe wrong driver?

Thanks in advance for any replies!!
