My stupid Y usb cable are 2 weeks late ... I guess i will never get them ...  Did you order them from Amazon? If so you probably got them from the same Chinese seller I did, and not realizing they ship via a super slow boat until weeks after I ordered I was pretty bummed that I didn't notice sooner. To top it off they only sent me 1 of the 4 Y cables I ordered, so I am currently waiting another ~3 weeks for the remaining cables to show up. Nah Ebay, yeah I guess they will arrived next month  EDIT: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221661361513IF they actually ship them! I ordered from the same seller and after about 7-8 weeks, nothing, not even a email saying that they were shipped. So contacted to find out if they had shipped them yet and if they hadn't, to just cancel and refund. They refunded. So I found some cables for cheap and made my own. |

My stupid Y usb cable are 2 weeks late ... I guess i will never get them ... Out of curiosity when would you use a USB Y cable? I'm getting pretty good speeds from my USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 hubs but also have some USB Y cables laying around too. Didnt know whether its worth combining anything? Forgot to say, I'm pointing 2TH rental at 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick for 24 hours  . If you had a hub that only put out ~ 0.5A per port and you wanted to do an over clock on the stick, use the Y-cable to draw ~ 0.5A from 2 ports for ~ 1A total (going to have a little loss probably, so say ~ 0.97A). Or if you got 1A per port, Y-cable would put you to 2A. |

Also when attempting to use bfgminer 5.3.0:  with a config of: bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u xxx.1 -p x -S antminer:all --set antminer:voltage=x800 --set antminer:clock=x0b83 --set antminer:timing=0.022421also tried: bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u xxx.1 -p x -S antminer:all --set antminer:voltage=x800 --set compac:clock=x0b83 --set antminer:timing=0.022421 also tried: bfgminer --set compac:clock=150 --scan noauto -o stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333/ -u xxx.1 -p x -S antminer:\\.\COM26 -d antminer@\\.\COM26 -S antminer:\\.\COM27 -d antminer@\\.\COM27 -S antminer:\\.\COM28 -d antminer@\\.\COM28 -S antminer:\\.\COM29 -d antminer@\\.\COM29 -S antminer:\\.\COM30 -d antminer@\\.\COM30 --api-listen --api-port 4028 --api-allow W:127.0.0.1, -T -q --log 5 no luck on any of those configs....same comms error....so the problem is not my hardware, as it DOES work in Multiminer on an "old version?" of bfgminer..but not any of the current ones....Very Strange. Plus they all hash much faster in the cli interface than in multiminer. thanks! edit: updated screenshot after about 10 minutes..some accepts but many comms errors still:  I'm going to guess it's the -S "antminer" and the "antminer@" that might be your problem. Try "bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u xxx.1 -p x -S compac:all --set compac:clock=x0b83" Seeing as voltage is adjusted by the pot, you don't need the voltage and I don't know if you really need the timing part or not. Try it with timing and then without. |

I thought a RpI2 could ru it with easy. No?
I was thinking of setting up a few at various locations .
It will, but the block chain size is getting to be the problem with running it on a Pi (it takes a 64GB SD card to run it now or it did). Sooner or later, it's going to take a 128 GB SD to run, or a USB HD on the Pi. And I don't know how much lag time USB HD would have on a node. |

I've been testing 1 of these for the last 5 days, got it plugged into a USB 2.0 hub that's plugged into the RPi running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (for the Pi's), with 5 sticks at 325MHz. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013OK10YM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00In 5 days I've gotten 2 HW with A 9676736 and R 4544. EDIT: For a quick check, I just now plugged the Superbpag 7 Port Portable Multi USB Charger 70 Watt 14A with USB 3.0 Hub to the Pi, and it looks like it is working. So I'm going to let it run for 24 hours and see how it go's at 325MHz. nice find! Ive been putting off a hub because I want usb 3 + fairly high power that would work with compacs, portable usb 3 drives and compatible with rpi. now I have no excuse not to get one btw which rpi (sorry if you mentioned it previously)? It's a Pi 2 model B With the hub plugged straight to the Pi, 0 HW so far for 1 hour running. |

This is on a 2.5A power supply that it shipped with.
This is the second time you claimed that you are using 2.5A power supply, so I understand that you didn't mistype it on the first one. However, I couldn't believe that you have your Antminer U3 running using that low ampere of power supply. As far as I know, the older batch 2 of Antminer U3 shipped with 6A of power supply and the newer one shipped with 7.5A. Do you have a picture of that 2.5A power supply? Mine also came with a 7.5A PSU (although it seems it's actually lower). And the specs suggest not lower than 6A. Exactly that what confuses me. Even if his 2.5A power supply has 100% efficiency, it would be quite impossible to power up Antminer U3. According to BM1382_Datasheet_v3.0.pdf, one BM1382 chip typically requires 10.40A at VDD of 0.72V or 0.62A at 12V. So 4 BM1382 chips on Antminer U3 requires more than 2.5A at 12V to run at 0.725V VDD as according to AntMiner-U3 user guide.pdf, the minimum VDD that we can set is 0.725V. I think he looked at the 2.5A max amps for the input voltage. Something that I never really paid attention to until after the power noise came up and looking again to see the 100-240 50/60Hz 2.5A MAX for the input. That brings up a few questions. Aren't most wall sockets 110V @ 15A (or 20A)? So is that extra 12.5A on the 110V causing all the trouble? And how would someone go about regulating 110V @ 15A or 20A, down to 110V @ 2.5A if the extra amps are the problem?? |

Hi, I'm running BFGMiner version 5.4.0 64bit on win 7 64bit ultimate. I am trying to run the GekkoScience Compac UBS's in a powered USB hub. I have 5 of the USB miners. I'm using an Anker 10 port Powered Hub: http://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Anker-SuperSpeed-Including-Charging/dp/B005NGQWL2 mor from the manufacturer: http://www.ianker.com/product/68ANHUB-B10AI keep getting this error: CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) CBM 1: Comms error (werr=1) I had 1 USB miner in the hub and got those errors then it started to go away. The first one was hashing at stock about 8 GH/s and the second the same I ran a .bat file as follows: bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u xxx.x -p x --set compac:clock=0x0b83 I also tried: bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u xxx.x -p x --set compac:clock=150 I am not sure why im getting this error. I did also try the cgminer version and ran zadig, but that didn't work for me, so i removed the zadig driver. I just removed the second compac and im still getting the errors. [2015-11-10 00:44:50] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:45:07] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:45:15] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:45:18] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:45:21] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:45:28] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:45:33] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:45:34] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:49:01] Accepted 0053084d CBM 0 Diff 789/512 [2015-11-10 00:49:26] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) [2015-11-10 00:49:55] Accepted 000b5ac7 CBM 0 Diff 5.77k/512 [2015-11-10 00:50:09] CBM 0: Comms error (werr=1) it seems as if it accepts once in a while. Does anyone have a fix for this? thanks! There were a few post's with this error and I can't remember for sure how it was fixed or if it was fixed. I think it was changing the bat to -S all --set compac:clock=150 |

with my settings on the page back, with volts at 830; and the old cgminer (yes, its what works, and I dont want to go through the rigamarole to compile in windows; yes lazy)...
I am seeing A:54000 R:0 HW:5
Thats an ok HW rate to me (about 1 hour uptime). It normally wants a replug once every other day. sometimes goes a week without touching it.
This is on a 2.5A power supply that it shipped with.
The average hashrate is 62.24GH right now.
I have the diff set at 1K because it mines to a solo account.
The math as far as power consumption and settings doesnt make sense.... It defies logic. it should be having trouble doing its job; that's for sure. I wonder what my oscilloscope will show me once I finally bring it home.
aside from thinking the harmonics of the power draw keeping the device charged with just enough juice to stay stable.... its a strange thought.
I do have a little bit of active cooling on it, but presently, its minimal. I also replaced the thermal grease with dialectic grease last time I took it apart to clean it.
One thing I would suggest is to keep an eye on the power brick that they came with. There has been a few post's about them melting! |

Quick question,
My miner is set to my wallet address not including the .0 or .anything at the end
If I add another worker with the same wallet address and a .0 or .1 at the end. is this ok?
Thanks
They can be with or without a worker name, and multiple miners to the same (with or without) worker name simply adds to the numbers shown for the worker The only reason I can tell for adding worker names is that, in the event you hit a block, you can track down which of your machines solved it. Of course you could also look at the miner status directly and figure it out, but if you have several machines the worker name makes it much easier. Are there other reasons for worker names besides this? Worker names would also help identify a problem miner/s easier, by keeping track of hash rate separately. |

Ha! I misinterpreted the use of the pot! the more it faces the USB plug, the more voltage to the ASIC, and here I have 2 of the sticks that just cannot hash it out anymore, I was tunning it to less voltage  !! Right, I know what I'm doing when I get home. Oddly enough, 2 other ones I had issues with, just spitting more HW errors, I turned down the voltage (in light that I was thinking I was turning up the voltage), and 0 HW errors So, I have 2 oddities, they both start hashing at full speed, then 30 seconds later, one just drops all hashing, the other in 60 odd seconds, dwindles down to 10s of mega-hashes, I've put them to factory set power, left out clock parameters, and they still do the same thing. testing the voltage, Vcore set to 0.7v, 1.8V is 1.8, 3.3 is 3.3 etc.. yeah, I've up the Vcore voltage, still no play. Also tested both on CG and BFG, they both do the same thing. Wonder if the chip or something in the hub is going, did you try them on a different hub? |

lol between you and cryptoglance you keep adding and taking out letters of my name  he has it as arons6stick thanks again for hosting that stick tho, i really appreciate it.. i should be getting my 2 in a week or two.. he posted that he has the parts and is working on the robot machine to do a better job at placing them. my s3 has been pretty solid running.. its had high share off and on.. hopefully we find a block. all my fault I am hosting it on a vm in mac and it crashes once a week. so when I put it up I spell it wrong. this vm forces me to write the full address as it won't let me do a bat file or a conf file. Can you do it in a text file and then just copy and paste it into VM? I'm not up on running VM, so don't know if copy and past will work in it or not. |

Quick question guys. I've been mining on this pool with my 2 sticks for well over 24 hours now to the address given to me a few posts back: 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick Just wanted to make sure this is correct as I'm not listed on the pool stats page: http://poolmonitor.cryptoglance.info/Cryptoglance needs to add you in, but I think you started early. It was supposed to be starting on the Nov 11th round, If I remember right. So Philipma will have to answer, if you should maybe do .hedgy73donation for the next couple of days or not. Then switch to .hedgy73stick on Nov 11th (new round with 40 slots). |

Interesting...I remember on S1 thread everyone was so helpful.
I will repeat my two questions one more time:
1. Is it better to run these sticks on USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 powered hubs? I already have candidates to order in each case.
2. can someone provide a simple setup for using rasp pi in conjuction with these sticks.
All i need to know what to order, i will try to figure out software by myself.
BTW, Pi connects to its own power source, then to computer via usb or to router directly?
then you connect USB 2.0 hub to pi and stick sticks into the hub?
2. Pi to the router with cat 5 or cat 6 cable, usb 2.0 hub to the pi, and sticks in the hub. That's the easiest set-up, if you got room to set it up by the router or an easy path to run the cat cable. |

Weren't you gonna hook me up with one of those for some cross-promotion?
I just got one and I am running 20 sticks on it. nice hub. I'm trying to get 1 of these, but can't get 1 to survive Amazon shipping. 2 for 2, DOA  Second 1, I just picked up out of the box and something was already rattling around. Turned it on it's side and there was a cap flopping around. Actually called Amazon and told them to pass a note down to the shipping department, PUT SOME PADDING in the box, place hub in, and PUT SOME PADDING on top (maybe the 3rd time will be the lucky one, if not I give up). You know it's bad when you got to tell Amazon how to do packaging and thats supposed to be their business! |
