I had 2 Compac-F's and everything was going fine.  I ordered one more (419 mining), added it to the mix (each on an independent gekko usb hub section), and it ran up to just about expected speed, then it started dropping to very low hash, followed by zombie.  I went to unplug it and the entire PCB was too hot to touch, had to hot-potato it from the USB-plug end.  Never had this experience with my other F's.  I unplugged all the miners and just plugged this one in by itself.  Same thing happened.  The bad news is is that it appears to have taken the gekko hub port-pair with it.  Now when I plug a working F into either pair, the light doesn't stay on.  If I pull on the miner (as in beginning to take it out) the light stays on, but as soon as I release pressure it turns off.

What recourse do I have here?

Guys, the silicone lottery is for how good the boob job turns out.  For electronics it's the silicon lottery (no 'e')!  Just it's like the third time I've seen it wrong in this thread.

FWIW I'm able to run a Compac-F natively off of an Intel NUC (6CAYB - older model) USB port, albeit at ⅔ optimal speed - that being at 350 MHz, where it runs stable at 222 GH/s and pulls 2.4 A

Verified that works!  Yay solo mining with newpacs on bitcoind v0.21!  Thanks 100knot2dae!

Do you want to submit this patch to vh's cgminer?  I can also do so if you'd like.

I've also been mining solo with NewPacs for a long time.  Finally went to upgrade my 0.19.1 node to 0.21 and ran into this.  It's still a thing, and core doesn't see it as something to fix on their side (rightfully so, as described in issue 19182).  So, I guess the cgminer fork supporting GS miners needs to be updated.  @vh is this something you can do?  Looks like we just need to not require the coinbaseaux flag in the GBT response.

Hey Luke, it says Eligius is one of your projects/didn't I read somewhere that you created it?  Could you help out with a temporary stats page if wizkid is too bogged down? 

Do you still have a role on the admin side of this pool. Is it all wizkid now?

Oh yeah, you're right, totally see the answer there about the pool's hash rate and payout period.

Hi guys.  Bitcoin noob here and am trying to mine with a super-joke hash rate, just as a proof of concept/research.  I've got a whopping 11 Mh/s off an onboard GPU (haha) connected to slush.  It reports accurately and everything.  My question is:

If I use this mining calculator with this hash rate, it says I should earn about 4 sathoshi/week.  I've been mining at this rate on slush for a week, and even though my stats estimated daily reward says 1 satoshi, my confirmed/unconfirmed reward remains 0.  Will I ever get even a satoshi?  Is this because I only get that estimated rate applied to blocks found, and so it would build up far slower than 1/day?  Is 1/day based on if the pool is constantly finding blocks?  Thanks for your help/sorry for the noob question.

I had an actual dream that this pool had stats.
