Thanks another piece of knowledge added.

The example string from the the first post. I now finally have it running (im an idiot was using "zero" instead of "oh" before the pool information.

I still need help figuring out how to create what I now know is called a SH or shell file (Batch in windows). I would like to be able to click in one place to fire things up.

Anyone have a step by step for creating the batch file equivalent for Ubuntu. I just switched over from windows. I am loving it but there is a bit of a learning curve going on.

If I enter it from terminal I can get the test string to work but when I put in my pool info and try again I get an error saying there is an extra command.

Any help appreciated.

UPDATE: I have it running manually now just have to type it all into the command line. So still trying to figure out how to create the batch file equivalent for unbuntu.

First to my previous problem I think I have worked it out to a power issue. I can get 3 Newpaks to run at 400MHZ on a GekkoScirence hub with 8 Amp power supply. If I try a fourth one then it eventually kicks one or more of off. So my question is have I got it wrong? I don't have the meter to confirm this unfortunately. But I want to think that I am wrong because why build a hub with the ability to run 7 sticks if you cant feed it enough power to do so?

After much trial and error this is what I ended up with to get stable. I have 1 stick in a usb on the PC directly and 4 on the hub. ! of the ones on the hub shut itself off. Lots of reading on the previous posts to even get to here.


Second what is the minimum system needed to run a farm. I have a MSI H270-A Pro motherboard that I was going to build out for GPU mining. Could I instead build it out with Linux and run a far of sticks on it? Lots of USB ports on this thing. Limiting factors? RAM needed? Run from Thumb drive -vs- SSD?
Could I run say 6 R606 one to a USB port? or can you put multiple R606 on a hub without hitting a USB bottleneck?

Sorry lots of questions. Tweaking these things is a bit addictive.

OK I am running 5 NewPacs on a Gekkoscience hub with 8 amp barrel power plus cooling. I am having an issue with everything running great for a while and then randomly 1 or 2 of the NewPacs will shut themselves off and stay off. Any ideas on the cause? This set up ran great for 4 or 5 days straight then out of the blue this started. It is not always the same NewPac each time.

Couple of Question.

1. When you guys use fans over the hub are you pushing air down or pulling air up?

2. Once you move on to a 2nd hub can you daisy chain them together or does each hub need to go to a USB port on your controller (PC in my case currently)?

Thanks,

Great thanks!

I am only playing with 1 stick right now. Have 4 more on the way. ALready have an arctic breeze fan on it. I am using cgminer 4.11.1 is this the right version to be using (looks like newest) if so how do I set it up to automatically find the best frequency? and when I have all 5 running does it adjust each one? or do you have to run 5 different instances to do that? (lots of questions sorry)

OK so when looking for that sweet spot in mhz (Newpac) how do you tell you have found it. I have adjusted from 100 to 200 and only difference I see is gain in hashing. So how do you know you have reached that tipping point where you will gain nothing more or are loosing some other part of function?

Awesome thanks!

OK so another Noob question. I am running a single NewPac (crawling before I run). I have it working and mining just fine. I am on a pool that "This pool fully supports Version-Rolling ASIC Boost - also known as Overt ASIC Boost" When I add the command line --Gekko-New Pac-Boost (may not be right here but I copied and pasted it from this forum when I tried it) to the .bat file and run it I get an error saying the command is not recognized by CGMiner. Help?
