1  Economy / Computer hardware / Have qty.4 r909 pod miners for sale. on: February 29, 2024, 08:33:57 PM
Moving soon and won't really have space to set up my mining gear.

I have qty.4 r909 pod miners, a bitmain power supply, and a brand new raspberry pi 3 I'm looking to get rid of.

Would like to sell everything as a bundle.

$1800 shipped to lower 48 USA.

Hey Kano, Thanks for the tip. 

Unfortunately until I started researching this issue I THOUGHT I had been using your pool.  I made the discovery that I wasn't last night when I was web searching for your cgminer / r909 setup page and stumbled across your pool page.  I did switch over, and everything seems to be working as it should. 


As for unmineable, I did put a support ticket in with them earlier in the day, but they are slow to respond.

Thanks again.

Question I didn't find an answer to with a quick forum search.

I have a few r909 miners I typically run on solo.ckpool with a 7d average of 7.39t.  I mess around with unmineable a bit from time to time, but it doesn't seem to be reporting my r909 stats from cgminer correctly.  After an hour or so I max out around 2.5 - 2.75t.

Before I had the r909's I used some 2pac and compac F stick miners with cgminer on unmineable, and the stats jived between the two programs.

I have an Antminer R4, and it reports to unmineable perfectly fine after 20 minutes; everything is syncd up.  Maybe I need to let the r909's go overnight and see what they look like in the morning?

Is this a common problem, or am I doing something incorrectly?  Any suggestions, or another pool recommendation?  

Thanks.

not sure what's going on, but I reassembled my Compac F and now it's working just fine again. Must have needed the weekend off. Thanks guys.

Unless there's been physical damage such that parts have been removed, the most likely issue is the chip - either the chip itself, or solder points underneath.

Bah, that's what I was afraid of.. I'll get the chip pasted back up and see what happens.

Thanks for the info!

Try unplugging the stick for 30 seconds and then plug it back in. Do you have a USB tester?

No tester and I had tried unplugging for a moment hoping it might reset it then plugging it in to a different port and still nothing.
The support page includes how to properly test a CompacF miner when you have a working one and one that may or may not be working.

I'm having a similar problem and looking for advice.

I ran through Kano's support page mentioned above with no success.  I was running the Gekko V2 hub which is working fine for my other sticks.

My Compac F seemed fine until it wasn't. I wasn't doing anything too crazy with it, and have the igloo style cooling fan which keeps it pretty chilly.

Now it shows up in cgminer with '0 chip found' or cycles through zombie mode until it's turned off. Both red and white lights appear if that helps.

I've been messing around trying to diagnose it.  I do have a USB tester, and it's not really pulling any current through. I just pulled the heat sink to take a look at the chip and see if it heated up at all when plugged in. It doesn't have any visual signs of being popped, and didn't really feel like it was getting warm to the touch.  With the heatsink off it would spike at about 1 amp (.4 with the sink on, no noticeable increase in temp) and did begin to heat up.  I pulled the plug before it really got going.

Is there a common fail point with these other than the main chip?  I saw a regulator mentioned before, is that a user replaceable component?  I'm decent with a solder station, but SHOULD NOT be trusted to reblob chips.

Thanks.
