Have to show a screen shot of hashing on hour zero and hour twenty four. screen shots at midnight? USA eastern time zone? daylight savings time? UTC time? no maybe 7 pm EST but the date is nov 15th or so maybe the 14th of nov and I am not set in details. Has to be stock as in no mods and only wind /air cooled. Second contest will be any thing you can think of with your red hot sticks to crank them up and over the freq 425 mark. Any power any volts any cooling etc. As for cheating I came up with the same issue try run 2 versions at the contest one the actual oc's stick and 2 a u-2 stick balanced at 10 pools so just a tiny bit of shares bleed into the oc stick's account. I need to look into that to see if it is detectable. How would someone explain more shares shown on the pool stats than what is shown as accepted shares in a screen shot? I checked shares at 10:30 tonight shown in cryptoglance's pool page + the shares shown in cgminer and will see if they match up tomorrow night at 10:30. If they match up, it's going to be kind of hard to explain 3,459,890 shares on the pool page, when the screen shot says 2,867,453... LOL EDIT: Just done a quick 15 min check, it was 34 shares difference. So that's probably just the time to write the number down from cgminer and reload the pool page. |

Well I have yet to figure out how to vote in one of these polls. Perhaps I just come across them after the voting is complete?
Anyhow, I would be interested in the purchase at $50 option. I have no miners suitable for parts, so purchase is the only option for me.
Thanks for your efforts!

You have to have a number of posts (20, 25??) to vote in the polls. |

Err: Asked to memcpy 0 byets from util.c parse_notify <>:2077
getting this alot, only at about 800MH/s - 1000MH/s
*Edit*
DAMN, moved USB ports blamzo, 8-10Ghash.
Glad to hear it's working. Not all USB ports are equal. This is why a nice powered hub is nice to have you know what electricity it has. With windows moving also might have did something with drivers and helped. The zadig drivers in windows is why I like linux so much. If your doing it long term look into RPI with a powered hub. Not only is it easy to setup but it cost almost nothing to run. I have been meaning to get a raspi for mining and messi g around with, do you not need to install drivers on ubuntu? I put the zip file for the cg miner on the comp but i dont get how to run it lol. Should be the same as these (may need to add a few packages). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173963.msg12468048#msg12468048 |

Even if it's not the final image, it does look nice and is extremely useful. Thanks for pulling this together cryptoglance.
It might be worth keeping the "lastupdate" to know when a worker last mined in case they've dropped out. This won't affect winnings (if there are any), but it still might be useful to be able to say that worker "blah" has not mined since X date.
As I'm sure cryptoglance is aware, the lastupdate int value is just the the number of seconds since the C epoch. It's easy to convert to an actual date/time value.
This is the current interface. We only really care about shares.  Going to makr a few more updates tomorrow and will share the url tomorrow Thanks for all the work. Looks good so far, can't wait to see url (hopefully I'll be back up with my main computer by then). |

Just following up on the thread now... Do you want me to write some script for this? Would take maybe a day... I would just re-use the pool functionality from my app
Yeah it would be nice. I am getting tired of clicking on thirty names and pasting shares once a day. Takes a lot of time. Can you PM me all the workers? I'll whip up something for just this use I will send pm in the morning Cryptoglance, I've been maintaining a text list of the club participants here on dropbox (note that this URL will redirect): https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0d6d971udf8oej/workers.txt?raw=1It's a simple parseable text format. Comments are preceded by a "#" character. Addresses can take the form of a raw address, or a complete URL to the stats on the solo pool. The participants are organized by workers or donators via simple comments. I've got a Python script that periodically reads the list from the URL to send notification emails. TheRealSteve has also been using the list to automate his IRC bot. What we're missing is a nice web site that consumes the list and provides visible stats to the other members. Maybe the way this could evolve is a single text list like this could drive any number of applications, including stats on a web site. I've been updating the list when I see changes posted here. But perhaps a better approach would be to give Phil write access to the text file. That way Phil could update the list, and all the other applications could automatically update from that list. Does this sound like a reasonable way forward for everyone? Here's 1 more to add to your list, http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jake36donation |

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?. |

Awesome, people, we got to 0.1 BTC already!  Now hopefully the software will work out. I'm looking forward to shiny graphics, it will make things look official.  Were at .11 right now would be really nice if we hit the .30 for each person in it, but not sure that will happen. It is very positive to see how the club is able to work together to get the .1 . Shows we have a pretty good set of people in the group I think. Agree. Now if Armory will let me send some, instead of giving me "this transaction was rejected" message. I'm rebuilding and scanning the database, hoping it's just out of sync or got a little scrambled. |

First time I had a problem. Was not the compacs fault though. It appears my RPI lost power and rebooted.
Is there any kinda scrypt to use to automatically start once it's started to GUI on RPI? That would fix the power issue I had. Which again is my power not the USB's fault.
Just seen this. You need to install "screen" (to be able to see the cgminer display window, either in terminal on the Pi or in putty from another computer). Then just add lines into the "/etc/rc.local" file, just above the "exit 0" line, "sleep 10s" (just gives the pi time to get everything up and running, can be longer/shorter) "cd /home/"your-user/cgminer" (or what ever you called the 1 for pre-production ones) "screen -dmS cgminer sudo ./cgminer -o (and the rest, just as if you were starting it the command line)" "sleep 10s" (again just to give time for the above to start) "cd home/"your-user"/cgminer-gekko" (or what ever for production ones) screen -dmS cgminer sudo ./cgminer -o (and the rest)", then save, reboot and see if it works. If it works, in a terminal "sudo screen -x cgminer", it should give you a message that has 2 "#'s.cgminer" listed, once you get the #'s, do the "sudo screen -r #'s.cgminer" to bring up 1 of the cgminer's, open a second terminal use the other #'s.cgminer for the second cgminer. That should start the Pi mining as soon as it boots/reboots for any reason and use "screen" to see the cgminer's. EDIT: Forgot the production sticks work with the regular cgminer, so you should put the cgminer-gekko to start first so it finds the production sticks (don't know if you need to use the --usb :#of production sticks in the -o pool line) or not) and then start the regular cgminer. |

In the compac thread there is also a pre-compiled Minera version to work with compacs. It is a image to burn to SD card, I have not tried it.
I kinda like having my RPI on raspbian and being able to control everything there very easy. I can also use multiple different items through it easily by running multiple CGMiner instances.
I'm using it to run 3 Compac's. Set-up was easy and I can manage minera from my PC. Highly reccomend edonkey's minera And I should clarify I meant nothing bad about his image. I think it is awesome he did it, and great for the community he saved many people time. I use the raspbian OS as I have 2 types of miners running. It allows me to control them, and I don't mind controlling by terminal. But for most the GUI with minera Edonkey did chances are will be like by more people then what I'm doing. I tried the minera Edonkey made and it works good, but I still prefer the raspbian/cgminer. Right now, I'm trying out 2015-04-06-ubuntu-trusty on a Pi 2. Going to let it run for 24 hrs and see how it runs the compac's. but just playing around with getting it setup and everything, it seems a little bit faster (it doesn't have the desktop or all the other unneeded things), so will see. |

Lets hope to get a block!  Why stop at one? Lets get 2! Ok I know that is not realistic ... but I would be very happy with one. But the nice thing is such a small cost on these sticks to run. So we can really run long term with very little costs as far as electricity. For example I even have a RPI as the controller and it uses almost nothing in electricity and works perfect. But I'm excited were doing a club instead of a ton of individuals. third time is the charm. I did hit 2 running clubs back in June. We hit them in less then 2 hours apart but we had serious hash rented. Would be nice, especially seeing how I lost 2 U3's today, thanks to a brief loss of a phase on the electric. Everything else barely had a hiccup (I noticed it and shut every thing else down on that line). So a block payout, would hopefully help a gekko pod or 2, find a new home.  |

Paying for goods or services, there's a 3% fee tacked on my end which means you pay 100% and I get 97%. Sending money to friends or family has a 3% fee tacked on your end, which I think means you pay 103% and I get 100%. In either case I'm not really going to sweat the difference, and since we're not actually friends or family you'd kinda be lying, but either way PayPal still gets their cut.
OK, just sent it as goods and services + added some extra to help make up the fee on your end. |

Did you try to run BFG as the administrator? Also, I don't use BFG or windows for mining, so not sure if you need zadig with BFG and windows or not. |

The ';' just separates 2 (or more) commands.
a ; b
it's the same as running it on 2 separate lines:
a
b
Thanks. Good to know. I think the only thing I didn't try was... a b ...LOL, at least I learned something new. |

I touched a power brick and U3 start beeeping  And goes to zombie, so i assume after 58 hours test failed. Looks like psu failure, now it much cooler then before, hmmm maybe i think i must solder pci-e connector. There is a rumor that they work better off of a pcie to u3 adapter. I had never tried it but always wondered if it was true. Maybe it really is. 58 Hours was still pretty dang good. I haven't seen them run better powering from pcie (no improvement in hash rate or any fewer zombies), they still zombie when they feel like it and for no reason at all. Only real advantage I do see using pcie so far, it's less of a fire hazard from not using the cheap bricks. Dang I know some have had it helped possibly in thread if you go through it (it's kinda long at this point). But I think you are right it was not proven. That is why I refered to it as rumor. But going from cheap brick to PSU I think would be a good move, if it prevents zombie someone really would need to do some tests which I don't think anyone has done. That's another problem with the U3, what works for 1 person will not work for another, even if it's the same setup. The more I play with the U3's, the more I'm thinking that the chips didn't pass a QC check of some kind to be put in the (at the time) "newest, greatest miner" the S3 and they came up with the ideal to put "seconds" (not up to par chips) in the U3's, kind of like cloths manufacturers selling shirts with one sleeve longer than the other to "bargain stores" to recoup some money, instead of eating the cost of the "not up to par" chips. |
