Thanks for everything Phil!
Anybody have a suggestion of where to go next? I've got 3 sticks and no good place to point them yet.
I'd say leave them here until you feel like changing them to (your own) solo.ck pool. I guess you could always sell them if true lottery mining is not your thing. Anybody else doing anything interesting? I'm pointed at solo.ckpool now with my own address but if we couldn't hit a block with our TH power, i doubt my 30Gh wil.... |

I have prevailed! Sort of, I have several questions. Jan11baktegonSticksI did sticks plural cause I've always had 4 sticks running on my address but my setup was too finicky to change it, clearly. Are we planning on changing the address name with each month...? http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jan11baktegonSticks1) Does anyone know how to change the frequency of the sticks once you've started Cgminer? They default to 125 but I'd like to do 200 2) Anyone know why sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jan11baktegonSticks --compac-freq 200 would return a bash cgminer not found error. I can navigate to the folder in my file system on the raspberry pi and start the executable however so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong... 3) I also think one of my sticks burned out  It returns an error about usb lib or something and then goes to status ZOMBIE in cgminer. Any way to check if my stick is working on Windows? Since the pi is finally back up I don't want to mess around with it. 1) You're already doing it in #2 --compac-freq 200 2) Strange your string looks all good ... here's mine> -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3334 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jan11HerbPeanStick --compac-freq 125 --suggest-diff 16 3) I would not think so. Yes, you can run CGMiner in Windows. Try mine => https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7a4sqgquknaf1h/cgminer-gekko-win32.rar?dl=0EDIT: you probably be required to install zadig_2.1.2.exe ... and change the driver of the compact to WINUsb Thanks for the Windows instance Herb, it works perfectly! Right sorry, I mean yes I can set the frequency when the entire command line works, but that didn't work for me. So I was wondering if you can change the frequency after cgminer starts. However I'm still getting the error with my stick, err:(0) LIBUSB_SUCCESS  |

I just updated mine - sorry for the delay!
Mine is:
1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jan11SFMinersticks
Thank you missing these below 11) Chris_Sabianstick active with old address 15) baktegonStick active with old address 21) sloopysticks active with both old addresses 21a) sloopydonation 27) Meechstick active with this old address 27a) MeechS2Donation 29) cryptoglancestick not active 29a) cryptoglancestick2 not active 37) stef942stick not active 40) buysolarstick active old sticks 42) n8dogf1stick active has said he will change I'm working on it! My cgminer wouldn't recognize the sticks again after a reboot so i tried updating my raspberry pi to fix it, and that of course broke everything. It's really unstable which is a bummer, and my configuration file won't save, blah blah blah. Right so, things are broken, and I'll just have to re-install the OS again on the pi since it's all goofed now, and hopefully I'll be back online tonight or tomorrow morning. Pro tip: don't use a raspberry pi version 1, they're troublesome! |

Wow a lot of stuff happened over the last three days. I'm definitely still in! The pool is great! I'll update my sticks to have the jan11 title tomorrow night after work, should be home early enough. Apologies for the delay.

I don't know if there's a cgminer-gekko directory, I can't find it if there is.
I am using the cgminer-gekko Minera image but I never got it to see my compacs. For the month i've just been running cgminer in a terminal window. I may re-image my SD card to plain raspbian and install cgminer-gekko that way. Clearly i've been running on luck this entire time!
That's weird that cgminer-gekko could not find your compacs. I built that image and it has worked for me and many others. If you want to try to call cgminer directly (although I'm not sure that it's going to help), it's located here: /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/gminer-gekko You should not need to run it as root. By default it runs as the "minera" user without a problem. Before you tried running this manually, did you enable logging in the Minera GUI and take a look at the resulting log? Maybe it would provide some hints as to why it can't see the hardware. Also, you're using a USB2 powered hub, right? You can't drive sticks directly from a RPi. I did log into the minera GUI and it looked like it would see one compac stick and the log would just stop, it was only eight or nine lines. I do have a powered hub yes, got 4 sticks and an arctic fan running. yeah i read around and it seemed like everyone else was doing fine. I ended up just re-flashing the drive with raspbian and re-installing cgminer-gekko. I'm up and running now! Thanks for the help. I'm trying it out at freq 200 as well, just a smidge more hash for the club. |

Continued adventures of a new person. I had a network hiccup and my miner went offline. I'm trying to reconnect but I keep getting an error that says "Failure to resolve...solo.ckpool.org:3333". I know I'm using a correct web address because i'm copy/pasting from ck's website. Any ideas? Have I configured it wrong somehow?  Not sure exactly how Minera / Cgminer works but I could never get it working by adding the pool address manually. Are you able to create a config or run from terminal command? Either way you will need --compac-freq xxxx line in there somewhere. When I put in sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.baktegonStick --compac-freq 200 it says "sudo ./cgminer: command not found" man i have no idea how I ever got this to work in the first place! Did you "cd cgminer-gekko" before putting the above in? Just noticed your using minera, so don't know if you need to change into cgminer-gekko or not?. Are you using the minera that was built for compacs? It's in the compac thread they did it where you should just need to put in pool in GUI and it detects compacs. It is as simple as putting image on sd card for RPI. I personally use raspbian as I like the linux feel. I don't know if there's a cgminer-gekko directory, I can't find it if there is. I am using the cgminer-gekko Minera image but I never got it to see my compacs. For the month i've just been running cgminer in a terminal window.

Ping doesn't look good? But I am connected to the internet according to ifconfig   I don't know how to create a config file in cgminer without already being in it. Is there a way to do that without starting the program? I saw the option to write one when I had it working the other day. |

The new system sounds pretty neat! As a New Person (tm) I appreciate it's clarity. Sounds like I should be point just one stick under "Stick" and then my other ones under "Donation" now however yes? I'm currently running all four sticks under Stick because my cgminer JSON file is broken and i don't want to re-type in all the server and user info again.
yeah leave it alone It can still work the way you are doing it. Oh that's good. I'm going to err on the side of leaving it then, I'd prefer not to mess with it if it's happily mining away. |

Guys I'm being a dummy. I'm looking for the chart that compares frequency to GH but I can't find it. Even in the Google! If someone has the link i'd appreciate it.
sidehack sticks do 55% of freq so 125 freq = 6.875 gh 150 freq = 8.250 gh 175 freq = 9.625 gh 200 freq = 11.000 gh 225 freq = 12.375 gh 250 freq = 13.750 gh 275 freq = 14.135 gh 300 freq = 16.500 gh 325 freq = 17.875 gh 350 freq = 19.250 gh 375 freq = 20.625 gh 400 freq = 22.000 gh I run 20 sticks at freq 250 I should do 275gh I am doing about 272gh Oh perfect, saved it for later! Thanks Phil! |

Got my 2.0 hub in, sticks are now mining on the Rasp Pi! I still can't minera to see my sticks however....so I'm just running cgminer from the cmd line. Also, i can't seem to access the sidehack pool but i can access regular ckpool? Any ideas what i've done wrong?  From the image, looks like everything is right for the pool (except for maybe change the Unit01 to Stick01 or even just stick, makes it easier to keep track of that they are sticks or if it's donated hash). If your trying to start with both pools in the command line, while you are in the screen in the pic, try using the "a" and just add a second instance of the club pool again; if it works, it narrows down where to start looking. I re-added the stick pool with "baktegonStick" and it works now! so now my stick is running at http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.baktegonStickBack in business! Thanks! |

baktegon here again! I've got them working! all 4 sticks should be pointed at the sidehack pool. I'm using regular cgminer-gekko on an ubuntu HP desktop from ages ago. All four sticks are showing hashrate in cgminer so this is good! I'm still waiting on my usb hub to run these on the raspberry pi but for the next couple of days I should be good to go. It looks like my stats are showing up at http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.baktegonUnit01thanks for the help all! Are the sticks on a hub or plugged into the ports on the computer? Looks like they are dropping off, so if they are on the ports in the computer, it probably doesn't have enough power on the ports for all 4, same goes if they are in a hub. Try just 1 stick for a while and see what it does. Edit: never mind, looks like they are coming back up. I have them all plugged into a hub. I was getting used to using the minera interface for cgminer so using the regular version had a few missteps for me. I finally got everything typed in the way I wanted it so should be stable now for the next several days. Woo contributing! |

Still having trouble getting my raspberry pi to see the sticks. I've got a new 2.0 usb hub on order should come wednesday so we'll see how that goes. Reviews for it say good for mining with the Pi model B which I'm using, here's hoping!
