Until I actually buy a powered USB hub, I am using my PCs USB port so I dare say THAT is the issue.

Do you have any suggestions as to a decent quality powered USB hub?

I can get one for like $10-$20 but I am unsure as to the quality of el cheapo products.

Thanks for your help chief!

You are quite correct, the problem was the power. I found setting the frequency to 100 is the butter zone for me. I've been mining consistently for the first time beyond the first few 'accepts' for an hour now.

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

I am a complete and utter newbie when it comes to mining Bitcoin and the rest. I recently purchased a GekkoScience 2Pac Stickminer and after dealing with some of the classic issues:

(1) Not recognising the miner
(2) Recognising the miner but not recognising any cores

I am faced with a 3rd issue and I am stumped. Before we go further here is what my cgminer window looks like and my bat file I use to launch it.





My miner will quite happily mine for a little bit until a success or two after that it will not mine anymore. I left it alone for 2 hours yesterday and my miner wasnt mining. The software kept telling me that a new block was detected at height xxxxxxxx.

BUT if I unplug, wait for a few seconds and plug back in, the miner will mine again.

Colour me stumped.
