Are there any instructions for installing cgminer? I am getting an error. I've previously installed the VH version for the 606 but tried installing Kano's version using the same instructions but pulling from his git. https://pastebin.com/8qEpM49k |

I've been running my full node unit for over a week now mining BCH on btc.com. Been on Turbo for most of that time. About every other day the miner stops and I have to go into the dashboard and start the miner again. Is this a known issue? Not sure if it's disconnects or the hardware trying to shutdown. Here are the raw stats for fan and temp. It would be really nice to have a failover pool in the event it's caused by disconnects, or at least have the system try to reconnect after 15 minutes or so. Everytime it has happened, I just click start miner and it starts right back up hashing with valid shares.
"fans": {
"int_0": {
"rpm": [
3679
]
}
},
"temperature": {
"count": 2,
"min": 0,
"avr": 34,
"max": 68
},
Most likely a pool/internet connection issue. Next update should auto-restart for these cases. I'm having the same issue, but I'm running it on eco mode. I've tried it on a couple of pools and it does the same. |

I no longer talk about alt coins much in this section.
...
0.001btc 34+ and will take about 2-3 months to reach I didn't realize via did a .001 payout because I never used it, I was just going off the .01 mentioned, but after all looks like there are at least two options at this rate. I agree about the alts, it was just side note. I'm still on team ckpool. |

If you don't mind me asking, what pool would you mine against when you set it and forget it?
Few pools are going to give you a payout at this hashrate. However, as suggested in the OP, on slushpool you can set it as low as 0.001 BTC for a payout which should only take a couple of months. I'm solo mining on ckpool until they get the on device solo mining working. You could also mine sha256 altcoins on zergpool and autoexchange into BTC and the payout is only .002 BTC. I'm not Phil but I tested all three pools mentioned here with my Apollo. |

It says in the OP, "as always this is a pre-order so expect delays regardless." There was a one month delay, which was what I was expecting.

I agree except for the part about compensating bad blocks. The two alternatives are mine at another solo pool which will have similar issues, or run a solo node yourself which probably has less connectivity and the same if not more issues with block propagation. Your risk =(chance of miner returning blocksolving share x chance it gets propagated to the network). Your own node will probably mess this up more than a server like ckpool. Nobody worries about compensation then. I agree with the car park analogy and hey, some of them even have fees.

Should I just tell them "bad luck shit happens" and join the reputation of the big pools?
Yes. Anyone who thinks there will never be a software glitch has unrealistic expectations. |

Yes, it helps. Your Cron is running and so is the script and the cgminer in the background. Watch your pool, you should be submitting shares.
It should be working but if not post the results from "cat /home/pi/cronjoblog".

These commands don't work in crontab -e: @reboot ( /bin/sleep 30; /bin/bash /home/pi/git/vthoang/cgminer/x1R606b.sh >> /home/pi/cronjoblog 2>&1
or 01/12 * * * /bin/bash /home/pi/git/vthoang/cgminer/x1R606b.sh >> /home/pi/cronjoblog 2>&1
Once I save/exit out of crontab, it does say a new crontab instruction has been saved but nothing auto-starts from the GUI desktop after a test reboot. I've read up and watched online videos that make it seem so easy and makes me wonder if there's a root, path, permission or script problem? First check to see if cgminer is actually running in the background. If not, check to see if crond is even running. If cgminer isn't running and crond is, make sure you have a blank line at the end of your crontab, hit return after your last line of code. If it's still not working, check what the log at /home/pi/cronjoblog says? |

When you say "save this code as mine.sh" , do you mean opening a text file then saving it as mine.sh in my cgminer folder? e.g. /home/pi/git/vtoang/cgminer/mine.sh?
Yes open your text editor and save it as mine.sh. You can put it in any folder, just home folder is easiest. You also have to mark it as an executing file. You can do it through the GUI by right clicking on file, select properties, then the permissions tab and check the box for executing. Can I run a similar file for more instances such as mine2.sh and mine3.sh? I run more than one instance for different R606' and Newpac's.
I would just add an additional line for each instance to your script and just run the one script. What would be the script to reboot the Pi4 weekly (e.g. 0100hrs every Monday) then to reboot each cgminer .sh file every 24hrs?
I would use crontab for the weekly reboot, this is what it is made for. Then add this as last line Does running the auto-reboot script commence from executing the .sh file and how would that conflict with the Pi4 reboot timing per week?
It won't conflict. The script just waits for a certain amount of seconds to have gone by. Would sleep 86400 = 24hrs?
Yes, it is in seconds. Whats the sleep 4 at the end for?
Just to give it some time to shutdown the first instance, so there is no conflict. |

I've tried sudo crontab -e then entered before exit 0: 0 */12 * * * /home/pi/git/vthoang/cgminer/x1R606b.sh
This is for a continual 12hr reboot but doesn't work. Am I missing more code? Try this to see if it reboots. It might be your script or a file permission issue. If you just want to restart the miner and not the whole system, you can use this script here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.msg48475209#msg48475209 |

Thanks zsmith. Will this open the terminal and show it running or would i need to use screen -x ?
It's not going to open a new window. Screen should work but I don't use it very often, I think you would need to call the screen command when you run the script instead of the sh command. Are you booting to command line interface or GUI? If you are using the GUI, you could use @reboot LXTerminal -e "./path/to/your/script.sh" to open it up in a new window. If you are using the GUI there is some way to run a script at startup within the GUI as well. |

|
From terminal, type: When it opens up, add this as the last line: @reboot sh /path/to/your/script.sh Control-X to exit and then Y to save changes. |

What happened to the images in the top post? They are all gone or blocked.
Photobucket blocked them because they are trying to extort $399 per year subscription fee for those who want to hotlink images from Photobucket’s servers to display elsewhere. You can still see the pics if you go directly to Sidehack's photobucket's page: https://s648.photobucket.com/user/sidehack128/library?page=1. You have to disable your adblocker though and Photobucket has more ads than AOL back in 1999. If you go there, be prepared to be gang-raped by pop-ups, loud videos about household cleaning products, and countless banners trying to convince you to buy a printed mug of the TR-606. Photobucket sounds like a ransomware racket, I'm surprised they're not asking for payment in Bitcoin to see your own pics. |

What am i doing wrong here?
Did you add the '-b 606' flag to the git command? I just followed the instructions on page 1 to reinstall it just to see if I could reproduce the bug but I got version 4.11.1 and I'm running Ubuntu 18.04. |

When I put mine together, I couldn't find the thick spacer that I had ordered. So, since I had a 2 pack of the thinner ones, I used that on both sides. I found the thick spacer sitting around, so I put it on. I didn't notice a difference either in noise, temps, fan speed or hashrate. So if someone was trying to save a few bucks, they get away with using a 2 pack of thinner spacers.

Yeah, I think the Antminer PSU is actually louder than the AntminerS9 now, switching out the PSU makes it even quieter.

I finally had some time to assemble this. I also found that adhesive backed insulation. I put it together as per your instructions and am getting 4.7TH/s with an 81 degree chip temperature. I cut the boards 10 1/4" by 4 5/8th" by 1 1/4" thick. I think my wedges are a little closer to the hash board than yours is, as my board was thicker. It seems to be working just fine.

No I couldn't find it at the Lowe's I was at. I got some silver insulation like that but it's non adhesive. I was just going to screw it on.
1/2" away from the has boards, thanks, I can make it like that. I'm still waiting on the delta fans but have pretty much everything else. I am going to do the wedges tomorrow, so it's all ready to go when the delta fans arrive.
I just have the one s9 because I only have one 220v circuit available for mining, the rest are 110v. Although now that this space heater s9 can run easily on 110v, I can get something else to put on the 220v.

I just went to Lowe's to pick up the last items that weren't being shipped. Instead of the tongue and groove you are using (which looks nice in your basement BTW), I bought a 5/4" thick cedar board. Should I just use one of these, or should I double it up? I also have some cedar fence boards that are just under 3/4" thick, I could do one of each. I'm just wondering how thick I should be building these wedges. Obviously I want it close enough to channel the air but not so close it is a fire hazard.
