They are only 225 MHz standard.

Do you have link for those 2x hubs on amazon?
Which one of those do you like best?

I think 150MHz is standard, 225 is overclocked Smiley.

Amazon links for the hubs I have:

Orico: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ORICO-Charging-Adapter-Support-Android/dp/B00U1FZAF4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450039256&sr=8-2&keywords=orico+60w+hub

Anker: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker%C2%AE-PowerIQ-Charging-Samsung-Motorola/dp/B00VE4UJD4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450039298&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+60w+hub

I prefer the Anker because the sticks will stand upright, it will take 7 sticks side by side using all 7 ports but you have 3 extra power usb ports at the end so I use 1 for an umbrella fan: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-Breeze-Mobile-Everywhere-Notebooks/dp/B003XN24GY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450039452&sr=8-2&keywords=arctic+fan

I only have 6 sticks though so to use all 6 in the hub I cant go above 250MHz because with the fan as well I get lots of hardware errors and cgminer will crash.

Found a picture of Anker when I just had 2 sticks:

Another strange thing

2 units work fine in laptop.

Then i got a USB hub to run more devices

ORICO 10-Port USB 2.0 Hub with UK Plug 36W AC Power Adapter & USB2.0 Data Cable for Windows and Mac PC

But no matter what i do if i connect hub to laptop or to raspberry pi minera  it will never work with more than 2x Gekko.

If I put in 3 sticks in usb hub it just keeps around 22-24 maybe raise to 26 that it

if i plug in 4 same nothing just stays on 22-24

and i cant think it is because not enough power in the HUB it has its own power supply.

There is nothing else connected not even fan.
But I never can get it to load more than 2.

I wanted like 4-5 in the HUB.
Is the hub bad?
It cost a lot on Amazon and should be powerful.

I think it will depend on how much power your sticks are using. Have you tried running them at lower frequency (like 150MHz or less) to see if you can run more than 2?

I have a 60w Orico hub and it will run 4 @ 300Mhz, to run more than 4 I have to reduce frequency. I also have 2 Anker 60w hubs and they will run the same (4 @ 300MHz). If I want to run more I have to drop the frequency again.

They will both run 6 sticks @ 225/250MHz.

yeah tried everything.

so what i did now was

go in device manager where i normally uninstall and delete it.

instead i clicked REVERT back driver
then after that did zadig
then started cg

now it found it
let just see for how long

That's strange, I have no idea why it would do that.

Fingers crossed it keeps working for you Smiley.

So one of the gekko i got here is a bastard child.

Like it can be sticked in laptop and all working
then i take it out and in again and then no devices found.

I goto device manager uninstall and delete driver
doing zadig again but it still not finding it.
It like random sometimes it finds.

I try all ports on laptop and it already worked fine before?!
What else to try?

Have you tried starting cgminer or bfgminer and then plugging it in?

EDIT: Have you got just the 1 stick or more but just 1 is not working?

Disabling the LEDs in code might be an option on the next version since the next version would have an actual microcontroller on it. But like every other Bitmain-based USB miner, there is no real active control on the device. The green is hardwired off 5V and the flash is triggered by a serial data response from the ASIC.

Thanks for clearing that up I thought as much Smiley.

Having the option to switch it off or adjust the brightness with the next version would be great Cool.

i used a dark purple nail polish thx to my girlfriend it really dimmed down the led's

Thats not a bad idea, thanks Smiley.

Shame you can't just disable them with code though.
787  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: December 13, 2015, 04:27:04 PM
can be done in cgminer ?
--led-off

Doesn't work for me Sad.

Is it correct? I'd love to be able to switch the blinking off.

I have noticed that with the low hash rate of the sticks the Difficulty takes 10 Mins or so to adjust down from 1K. Is there any way to set the Pool to something lower at start up?

Rich

With cgminer command line I use this to start diff at 30: --suggest-diff 30

So complete is:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick --compac-freq 300 --suggest-diff 30

Just noticed your pic with the monster heatsink, jesus.... Shocked.

its a sink for a Northbridge with ether a massive CPU heatsink, or for the Southbridge with large GPUs

but none the less, its moving the heat off nicely, ambient is 20 degrees Celsius, sink is 35 43 degrees at the top fin.

im wondering if running the 2 instances of CGMiner, on the 1 login causes one to drop the whole lot of miners its working with (eg: the 9 sticks all go down then reset usb connection)

Bloody hell its a beast all right! I bet it does cool that tiny chip ok Smiley.

I'm not sure about issues with running 2 instances of cgminer to be honest I've never done it, perhaps ask on a cgminer thread.

I'm curious.. what is a HackMeUp stick?
I tried searching around a bit but couldn't find anything.

Think its another word for a modified stick Wink.

These sticks can run from 8GH stock uncooled upto 20GH+ volt modded and cooled enabling lots of room for tweaking Smiley.

send u pm  Smiley

why would you deal with this user after everything that has been posted?

Probably an alt.
796  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Buying BTC, for Paypal (Verified) on: December 12, 2015, 01:23:29 AM
Brand new account with 1 post. Probably a scam.

It doesn't matter if Paypal is verified or not it can still be charged back.
