1  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience has a new pod miner, just in time for Christmas on: March 05, 2024, 10:15:54 PM
I have a Technical question about the R909 wattage draw at the wall. Here is the history and the question is at the bottom.

In my main mining Rig shelf I have the following all plugged into a multiport powerstip / surge protector which then runs through a wattage meter before going into the Wall.  ALL of the following pulls consistenly 509w to 515w depending on if I run the R909s at 575mhz or 600mhz.

1 small monitor, keyboard and mouse shared via KVM.
1 HP Server powersupply with 6pin breakout board.  The R909s plug into this for power via 6pin connector.
5 small external usb fans for air flow
Mining Rig#1 - I have 3 R909s running at 575mhz and 4 Compac-Fs @460mhz with attached Bitcoin merch usb fans, mining BTC on a Raspberry Pi 4 and 2 powered hubs. The R909s into one 90w Sipolar hub and the 4 Compac-Fs into another 90w Bitcoinmerch hub. (they are identical except for branding)
Mining Rig#2 - 4 newpac's @350mhz and 2 Compac-Fs @450mhz all with attached Bitcoin merch usb fans, and one Artec bendable USB Fan.


On a separate wall area I have another rig running 3 Compac-Fs @450mhz and Bitcoinmerch usb fans and one R909 @575mhz. This one the R909 is running on a 120w power brick from Bitcoinmerch that came with my first R909.  I have the R909 going into a Watt meter on its own.  This one started out pulling 115w and slowly increased so far to 117w.  

Last week I purchased a 5th r909 used from ebay. It hashes fine and is giving no problems, but I noticed that this one will start out pulling 115w from the wall but will slowly keep creeping up. I let it hash for 2 hours and it had creeped up to 132w.  I found that odd given the power strip was supposed to be 120w. I grabbed another power brick i had that came with another R909 I got off of ebay and it too was supposed to be 120w, but may only be 100w (not clear on the back), but the same thing it creeped up to 125w in about an hour before I shut it down.

Then added this 5th R909 to Rig #2 on the main shelf at the top that pulls a consistent 509w - 515w normally and it jumped to 625w and started climbing.  It got to 660w after about 5 hours and again I powered that one down just to be safe.  

Any idea what would make the wattage use creep up like that?


EDIT: It looks like I may have solved the by backing off of the blue dial by 30% counter clockwise. The R909 wattage has been stable at approx 113.8 since.  It does fluctuate up or down one or two watts sometimes but nothing like it was.

I was interested until I saw it was locked to Braiins.  Then was like nah..

Did you sudo?

I didnt at first but tried again with sudo and still no joy.

If you are able to ssh into the RPI Zero2w that is in the hub, as the pi user then you "should" have the permissions needed.
What tool are you using to ssh into the RPI Zero?    the command should be ssh pi@IPAddressOFSmartHUB. then use the password raspberry
If you do not specify the pi@ part it will try to have you ssh in to the RPI Zero as the user of your host computer.  It may ask you to accept ssh key for the pi user if you have not already done so.

Once you get logged in you can type whoami to valdate you are the pi user if you want. You can type pwd to see what directory you are in.. It should be the home folder for the pi user. To run a command as with root privileges you would use sudo COMMAND... such as sudo nano config.html  (nano being the text editor.)

This looks awesome!.  Is mining over wireless the only option or will we be able to add a USB to Ethernet adapter?  I actually have 3 Raspberry PI 2Ws sitting around unused.  Will this come with a Rpi2W installed already like the Mars Lander or will we supply our own?

Hey, so the Smart hub has Wifi and ethernet built in. It's up to you what you use. You can use both too if you wish. There is also a Raspberry Pi 2 W already installed. When you get the unit it literally is a case of plugging it in and the screen tells you what to do. It really is plug and play!

I know my site (thesolomining.co) sells them with power supplies included.

HTH!

IamGPIO

Thanks.  The US seller does not have any showing on their site.

Let me know if an option without the RPI 2W installed ever becomes available.

@SabruCrypro I just ran into this issue a few days ago myself.  The issue appears to be the latest BookWorm Version of the Raspberry Pi OS.  Something changed. I installed the last version of the Bullseye version of Rasberry OS and the issue went away.  cgminer installed with no issues and detected my miners right away.    Kano jumped on the issue as soon as I mentioned it and verified that the RPI foundation changed something about the gcc library for that latest Bookwork Version.

If it helps I have 2 R909s, 5 Compac-Fs and 2 Newpacs so I run my cgminer like this.
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://POOLNAME:3333 -u USERNAME -p x345 --gekko-newpac-freq 375 --gekko-compacf-freq 450 --gekko-r909-freq 600

This evening I rearranged everything and now have all my Gekkos mining off of a single Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) host.  Looks stable so far but has only been back up for a few hours.   I let it run for a week and a half with no issues when it was spread across two hosts.  The day before yesterday my peak hash rate spiked up to 8.025TH/s for a minute or so.  Getting many spikes over 7.5TH/s

So I jsut got an email notice from Bitcoinmerch.com about NewPacs being back in stock. I thought wow.. those were from 2018 and 2019.. Really?   So I go to their website and check and sure enough BitcoinMerch.com just listed some new NewPacs for sale @$149.00 each. Says they have 12 of them.  Think they just found an old stock box of 12 sitting in the warehouse?

Nice setup! For what it's worth, you could run multiple cgminer instances all on a single Pi, or are you getting issues when too many USB devices are connected?

Essentially with all of the fans being plugged in I was running out of usb ports.   The original setup for Rig 1 was running stable as it was so I didn't want to change it. Given I have many Raspberry Pi and other Single Board computers laying about, I figured I would just spit it into two mining rigs.  That way I could relocate one if need be. Plus test mining against different pools to see how things went.  Right now it is a little cramped in that one area. With Rig 1 I have a keyboard and mouse connected. With Rig 2 I am forcing myself to work it remotely.

Thought I would provide an update with my setup. I got the 2nd R909 and 5th Compac-F up and running on a 2nd RPi4.  I have been mining ViaBTC pool with the rig setups below and the 24hour mining results are: 10-Min Avg. HashRate fluctuates between 5.5TH/s and 7.5TH/s.   All is working great and the R909s are AWESOME!

1st Rig: 1x R909, 4 Compac-Fs and 2 NewPacs.

For those still looking for an R909. I see them listed on Amazon for $620 with free prime shipping.  Sold by Eyeboot and ships from Amazon.

So today I have been letting it run and letting cgminer and the pool manage the difficulty, and it is set low at 2587.  Yet somewhere along the line today, this little setup pulled a Best share of 1.15G.

Is that a 2.26TH average speed from the R909? Nice. The fastest I've pushed one stable was 2.1TH so, you know, cool.

I have been running the last round of testing with the R909 at 600mhz and it appears stable. Difficulty is locked at 10K and it seems to be handling it.
575mhz on the R909 seems to be the sweet spot for mine though. The Best share resets every time i restart the miner.. So far the best share I have seen is with the R909 at 550mhz and it was 293M and the difficulty was at 3211.  
EDIT: I did have to turn the blue know about 1/8th Clockwise to get 600mhz to be stable otherwise the R909 would not work well above 575mhz.

Is there a general thread for Gekkoscience miners?  Not just for the  R909?

I will mention this here since there is an R909 in the mix, but It may be better suited for a different thread. Let me know.  I tried mining the nicehash pool this morning via cgminer, and though it works, the difficulty seems to be a little much. it is very slow and the R909 seems to hang at around 89% but still hashes at around 2.5TH/s.  The Compac-Fs see to be the ones that struggle the most as a few of them will reset the frequency down to 200mhz and ramp back up.   I am running 1 R9-9, 4 Compac-Fs and 2 New Pacs with an over all hash rate of 3.1TH to as high as 4.2TH/s.  The pool settles on a difficulty of 40k and and overall it does get excepted shares, just really slow to handle them.  That being said, I was curious if anyone else had tried to mine nicehash with usb miners.  Is it worth it or is there an increased risk of damage to the miners?  Anyone have suggested difficulty for nicehash pool?

Here is what I used: NiceHash External Mining:
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://sha256.auto.nicehash.com:9200 -u WALLET-ADDRESS.Workername -p x --gekko-newpac-freq 350 --gekko-compacf-freq 400 --gekko-r909-freq 550

I was thinking of trying it again with the --suggest-diff 20000  flag and then with --suggest-diff 10000 flag to see how those work.  I have been mining ckpool with --suggest-diff 10000 flag  to see how that went.  it seems stable just getting about half the shares than if I let it auto set the difficulty.  When I do let it auto set on ckpool it usually sets it somewhere between 2400 and 3400. 

Here is what I used to mine ckpool: 
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u WALLET-ADDRESS.Workername  -p x --gekko-newpac-freq 375 --gekko-compacf-freq 450 --gekko-r909-freq 575 --suggest-diff 10000

Earlier today ckpool reported these stats for my worker. These are the frequency same settings I normally run only difference is the suggested difficulty.

Tiny knob in the corner, same as all other Gekko sticks. Slight clockwise turn.

Ticket value confirmed message is a leftover from some early testing. Just means we understood the format of the ticket mask register assignment correctly when we reverse-engineered the protocol.

Thanks Sidehack.  The stick seems better now but just a little slow compared to the others.  I will tweak the tuning.


Here is a video of the blinking lights.  You would not think this would generate that much heat, but so far it is enough to raise the overall temp in a 500 sq ft room by 4 degrees F.  That corner went from 72 - 73 degrees to 77.7 degrees.  However the HP Power supply and the  USB hub power bricks are also putting off some heat.

If it's running slow, best bet is probably pull it, adjust the voltage up a little, and plug it back in.
How do you adjust the voltage on a compac-F?  I do not see a dial.



Also I just got a notice of Ticket Value confirmed after 5000 nonces..   what does that mean?  - it looked to be on the R909.

Got my R909 delivered today and got all my miners going except the R808 I got off of ebay appears to have pooped out. It was working then got stuck on Found 0 Chips.. But that is not the point of this post.
I have to keep an eye on the Compac-F (item 5) as it appears to be sluggish. I was reporting 35%  until I captured this output. Right when I chose copy it jumped to 100% but as you can see the hash is way lower than the other compac-f (3, 4 and 6).  With this setup though I have seen the overall 5s hash shoot as high as 3.799T.

Now to start saving $$ for another R909.

So I finally got started solo mining.  I started with my two NewPacs.  I will test the Terminus 808 I got off of ebay and if it works will add to this rig.

Then I will setup another RPi 4 to run my 4 Compac-Fs and the R909 that is supposed to be delivered tomorrow!

how do you add a screenshot / image to this post?  choosing the insert Image button just ads IMG tags.  
19  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: lowest hashrate that hit a block in the last 3 years on: December 30, 2022, 02:51:17 AM
I'm currently running 40 Compac F's and 9x 2 Pacs on a private pool which is under development.  I do use CK'S and Kano's pools however both as backup pools. Both are great options.

I'm not running any R909's at this time.

I am however running several Apollo BTC's as well as and an ever expanding number of S19 Pros.

Gotta keep hope alive!!!!

That's awesome.  Would love to see a picture or video of all that.  What is the total hashrate with all that running?

Pi3 = 10 x Compac F's = 3.75 Th/s
Pi2 = 15 x Compac F's = 5.7 Th/s
Pi1 = 15 x Compac F's = 5.7 Th/s
Apollo1 = 6 x Apollo BTC (On Balanced) = 15Th/s
Apollo2 = 6 x Apollo BTC (On Balanced) = 15Th/s
Apollo3 = 4 x Apollo BTC (On Balanced) = 10Th/s
Apollo4 = 6 x Apollo BTC (On Balanced) = 15Th/s
Single Apollo = 1 x Apollo BTC (On Balanced) = 2.45Th/s
S19APro110Th = 7 x 110Th = 770Th/s
S19JPro104Th = 3 x 104Th = 312Th/s

Adding this week or early next:
1 x S19APro 110Th = 110Th/s
6 x S19JPro 104Th = 624Th/s

So if all goes well next week I should be pushing about 1.88Ph/s Smiley

WOW!  Is all of that solo mining or is any of it participating in other pools that have frequent payouts?
