Money sent.

It still amazes me how I can send money to anyone via the Internet, with absolutely no permission, and anonymously. Bitcoin is a liberating technology.

Block 907436 ends with 'E', and so NotFuzzyWarm wins. Please drop an address here or via PM.

I put a little fan above it, and it works. Thanks to Nexus9090 and NotFuzzyWarm. I don't know which one to pay for, because both of you helped me resolve this, so I'll just pay Nexus if the block 907436 ends with 0-7, and NotFuzzyWarm if it ends with 8-F.

So, just to be sure I understand both of you... You're telling me that at least some air movement is necessary for the device to reliably provide a steady hashrate, no matter what that is. Is that correct? Again, I have no problem letting it hashing at 10 GH/s, if that can mitigate the air trouble. Is it possible to retain a steady hashrate of something like 10 GH/s, with just the stock heatsink it comes with?

Upgrade it into what, if not a fan?

I used this to try setting frequency to 100:

I also tried the same with --gekko-compac-freq 100 instead. Nothing, it stayed the same, 200. Then, I wrote a config file, like in the github issue you shared. I let cgminer create the default by pressing 'W', and then I changed this line:

To:

Still, I run "./cgminer" and encounter the same issue. I haven't tried changing gekko.conf in kano's files. I'm trying to lower the voltage by counterclockwise switch, and see how this goes. I also don't have bat files, I'm in Linux Mint.

Edit: This is a screenshot of what I'm getting right now. As you can see, it stills tries to push it to 200 frequency for some reason, even though it tries to drop it (see where it says "200->190"): https://ibb.co/RGSf1fQw.

OK, I cloned that repository, but I'm running into the same problem as before. Also, I didn't mention that setting frequency with --gekko-compacf-freq <value> does not actually change the frequency. The frequency remains the default one (200). I wouldn't rather buy a fan at the moment. I would like to have it working without a fan, even if that means I should lower the frequency, I have no problem with that.

I have bought a GekkoScience Compac F USB miner (200-350 GH/s) and I want to try solo-mining. I know my chances are extremely slim, but I like learning mining.

I installed cgminer from this repository: https://github.com/wareck/cgminer-gekko. However, when I leave it mining for a few minutes, it slowly declines in hashrate until it completely reaches zero. I think it has to do with overheating, because I tried touching it, and I almost got my finger burned; it's extremely hot. I use a Y cable (2 male, 1 female) to connect it to my computer, because it needs more power than the USB port can provide.

I was wondering if there's a way to go around this problem. I don't want to unplug and plug it throughout the day. Maybe could I somehow program it to use less resources or have less frequency? I don't care falling from 200 GH/s to 2. I just want to have it working. (I tried lowering its frequency using the --gekko-compac-freq and  --gekko-compacf-freq flags, but none seemed to work; at some point, it just stopped working again.)

I'm sending 15000 sats to the person who can help me make it working.
