I have the "Too many failures" message when trying to login from my home network. The only way I can log in is using my phone's data. How can I address this problem?

Good to know. Thanks for the info! What's the general consensus for how to run these guys. Do people tend to join mining pools or go about it solo?

Quote from: gt_addict on February 21, 2021, 05:03:52 PM Just to give you a heads up. Ive been running my sticks at 650m getting 140Ghs on a GekkoHub for well over a year. Wow that's incredible. How hot do your sticks get at that speed? I've got mine at 300 now and it is warm to the touch. I'm going to ramp it up to 325 and to from there.

This worked perfectly. Thanks! Now to try and figure out how high I can overclock this little guy with my fan I am starting with a frequency at 250 to see how warm it gets and it seems reasonable at this speed.

So another question When I run cgminer, it works fine and my stats on slushpool reflect that my newpac is doing it's thing. I am trying to get cgminer to run in the background so I don't need a SSH connected to have the miner running. When I enter the same command to get mining and put "&" at the end of the command line, for some reason cgminer doesn't work and won't do any mining. The command I enter is: Code: ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://ca.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u (my username)--gekko-newpac-boost --gekko-newpac-freq 250 & And it doesn't mine. The process starts, but no mining takes place. Once I remove the "&", it works like a charm. Why is this?

Maybe but does raspian include a firewall? I also tried on a Windows laptop tethering off my cell phone just to take my home's ISP out of the equation. Same deal and cannot get the cgminer up and running. Maybe I should see if Windows 10 includes a built in firewall that I need to disable. Well holy cow I solved it! My router was blocking it in an a section called "aiprotect" I disabled that junk and I am finally mining!

Thanks for the tip!

So I tried the following:

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u (my wallet address) -p x

and I get the following output:

Code:

 [2021-02-20 20:02:41.038] Started cgminer 4.11.1
 [2021-02-20 20:02:41.040] Probing for an alive pool

 [2021-02-20 20:03:41.049] Press any key to exit, or cgminer will wait indefinitely for an alive pool.

As I am not that interested in solo mining and I would prefer to do it in a pool (but at this point I'll take anything!) I tried the following:

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://ca.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u (my slushpool user ID) -p x

and

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://ca.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u (my wallet address) -p x (I also tried with my slushpool password)

and get the following:

Code:

 [2021-02-20 19:58:22.127] Started cgminer 4.11.1
 [2021-02-20 19:58:22.128] Probing for an alive pool

 [2021-02-20 19:59:22.138] Press any key to exit, or cgminer will wait indefinitely for an alive pool.

What am I doing wrong?

I'll give it a whirl tomorrow and report back with my findins. Thanks for the advice!

So I was finally able to give it a try and got the follow output:

Code:

 [2021-02-20 08:35:13.308] Started cgminer 4.11.1
 [2021-02-20 08:35:13.312] Probing for an alive pool

 [2021-02-20 08:36:13.345] Press any key to exit, or cgminer will wait indefinitely for an alive pool.

To see if there is something wrong with my ISP blocking ports, I also tried tethering off my phone and got the same response.

Any ideas how I can fix it?

Quote from: gt_addict on February 15, 2021, 09:22:24 PM Have you tried running the test.bat file just to be certain the it works and mines as it should? If it does then I can only think its something to do with your command line or connecting to that specific pool. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow and report back with my findins. Thanks for the advice!

Quote from: gt_addict on February 15, 2021, 07:24:07 PM Try the server i linked above with your specific username and password and see of that works. I tried the closest server and I get the following output: `[2021-02-15 15:00:23.243] Started cgminer 4.11.1` It doesn't progress any further and after some time (10 seconds or so?) It goes back to the bash prompt. For the cgminer command, after the -u I entered my slushpool username. After that failed I then tried my BTC wallet address and get the same outcome. It simply starter the cgminer and doesn't progress any further. I wonder if my ISP is blocking stratum to ports 3333 to 3339. I might try tethering the raspberry pi off my phone to see if that works but I want to exhaust other options first.

Thanks for your help so far No, my wallet address doesn't start with the letter u. I am using the url provided over at https://help.slushpool.com/en/support/solutions/articles/77000423566 I've tried a bunch of them and get the same error for some reason and I don't know how to resolve it.

Quote from: gt_addict on February 15, 2021, 07:03:47 AM Try using a normal stratum server and not a “V2” one. Also try the test.bat file and see if it runs with that aswell. For a normal stratum server, do you mean something like stratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333? I can try the test.bat later in the week when I get access to a windows PC.

Code:

I am having issues with running cgminer with my rpi 3b+ and gekkoscience newpac. I installed the newpac correctly as I get the following output with the [tt]-n[/tt] command:

[code]
[2021-01-30 06:20:49.480] USB all: found 6 devices - listing known devices
.USB dev 0: Bus 1 Device 5 ID: (id number is here)
Manufacturer: 'GekkoScience'
Product: 'NewPac Bitcoin Miner'
[2021-01-30 06:20:49.480] 1 known USB devices

I joined slushpool and now I am having issues with cgminer resolving the url. I enter the following command:

Code:

/cgminer -o stratum2+tcp://v2.stratum.slushpool.com/u95GEReVMjK6k5YqiSFNqqTnKU4ypU2Wm8awa6tmbmDmk1bWt -u (my username) -p (my password)

And the output is:

Code:

[2021-01-30 06:26:07.824] Started cgminer 4.11.1
[2021-01-30 06:26:07.825] Probing for an alive pool
[2021-01-30 06:26:07.830] Failed to resolve (?wrong URL) stratum2+tcp:

And it eventually fails and returns me to the bash prompt. I also attempted removing the url and replacing it with the IP address and get the same output. I tried different servers with no success. I even tried using the v1 stratum server URLs and I get the following output:

[2021-01-30 06:28:56.109] Started cgminer 4.11.1

And it doesn't go any further and returns me to the bash prompt. The rpi has a dedicated IP and I set it up my router to allow all ports to work for that up address. Any idea how I can resolve this issue and get to mining?[/code]
