The ASIC is darn good, but a lot of it's in the buck. We overbuilt the heck out of it, probably three times the current capacity of the next best stick miner to allow for exactly the kind of stuff y'all are doing. Adds just a bit to the cost but greatly increases the fun.
Doesn't it just give you that warm feeling of pride knowing people are enjoying and having fun with the labor you put in?

I know that information is probably here somewhere, but can someone recommend: 1. a good hub for this stick or maybe two. 2. point to a link (btctalk) that explains what needs to be done to run it. I have both Macs and Pc (win eight), but would prefer running it on a mac, but if it is easier on win8, I would do that instead. the word zadig does not ring any bells.
maybe it is too much to ask, but... thanks

youtube "rbox setup" It's almost 100% identical to setting up this stick, just use the miner program in the first post.

You will honestly be happy for it. No messing with drivers. Linux with the compacs just works great. I highly recommend this route vs windows.

fantastic, thanks i don't have any issues yet, but i like to be prepared beforehand. also, maybe I should use it as an opportunity to learn more about debian or linux-we shall see.

7. ./configure --enable-gekko
This will configure the build. This is the most likely place to have anything go wrong, if it does, let me know exactly what's up. Odds are it would be some package that you should have installed.
Don't forget that this will only add support for the Gekkoscience USB ASIC If you need to use different ASICs on that build, you may need to add support for them during the configure step. In my case: ./configure --enable-gekko --enable-bflsc --enable-icarus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cgminer 4.9.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you --enable-gekko --enable-icarus : gekko was built by gutting icarus and rebuilding for compac's, so to use icarus, you would need to do 2 cgminers. 1 for the cgminer-gekko, 1 regular cgminer for icarus, and run both cgminers 1 for compac and 1 for icarus.

Ok
Well I'm using Minera because I like the fancy UI.
Unfortunately it can only display 1 instance of the miner, the 2nd could probably run manually in the background though... but that means keeping a putty session opened to run and monitor it?

If you use screen you don't need to keep the connection live.
There are a few overlaps remaining between gekko and icarus that we'll probably take care of before updating the driver for new hardware, but for now you can't compile both because of some naming conflicts and such.

Thank you, I'm looking forward the update My Raspberry Pi is headless In the meantime I'll wait. I have 2 Gekkoscience Compac running @210Mhz flawlessly , and I've ordered 4 more earlier today. I will plug them in a D-Link DUB-H7 (although the 3A power supply may be unsufficient for 6 sticks, but I've got a bunch of USB hub so I'll figure something :p My U1 and U3 and BFL are running on other computers at the moment anyway.

I didn't say "use a screen", but "use screen". https://kb.iu.edu/d/acuyAllows you to run multiple virtual terminals inside a single session, with persistence such that when your session ends or disconnects any active screen sessions will keep running and you can reconnect to them at any time. Pretty handy if you're running something that needs to stay running and accessible for a long time even if your SSH session is likely to end (for deliberate or unforseen reasons). Minera starts its cgminer instance inside a screen session, as do a lot of miners with internal Linux controllers.

Tomorrow when I get time I'm going to upgrade my PSU fan system I am using to cool down Compac's and U3's. I am using computer fans as I had a box full of free after rebate ones. Today I got a fan controller for decent (would have been a tad cheaper online). But It allows me to have more fan's and control of airflow a little better.
Should be pretty nice after I am done with it as far as a nice little solo mining area.

Hello all,
I'll preface this post with a small disclaimer - I haven't mined since the GPU days and the Compac is my first ASIC. The solution to the problem therefore is probably really obvious!
Today i received my bitshopper.de version of Sidekick and Novak's compac. I've installed Zadiag and changed the driver to WINUSB and i've rebooted (oh so many times!). I'm running Novak's CGminer from the first page of this thread. I'm using the bat file included as administrator on windows 7 and also windows 8. Currently i'm using the bat file as is (i'm aware that it is linked to Novak's bitcoin address) and i've also tried dropping the fequency to 100mhz. I've tried different USB ports, inserting/removing the compac at different times before/when CGminer is running, two computers and have had the miner through my USB doctor currently which is showing 5.03V and 0.19amp draw.
Essentially CGMiner reports no miners, but on looking through the USB menu and listing the devices it does find it as "Bus 2 Device 3 ID: 10c4:ea60 bitshopperde Compac BM1384 Bitcoin miner". CGMiner then reports "USB init, open device failed, err -3, you don't have privilege to access - GEK device 2:3", and then Gekho detect <2:3> failed to initialise" I'm guessing the second error is due to the first.
Is anyone able to advise? Help is much appreciated.

did you run Zadiag with admin? how about CGminer with admin? its been to long since I've setup windows to mine.. Also, did you read though the 30 pages of information and garbage here? (im guilty of trashing this place with useless posts) ...
run as administrator?
why you beat me?

Try the compac in a different usb port, and / or a different PC. Narrow it down by piece if it isn't admin mode.

Transaction fees go to the pools and the pools decide to pay them to the miners. Anything else, including off-chain solutions are stealing and not the way Bitcoin was intended to function. Make the block size set by the pool. Pool = miners and they get the choice.

Thanks Irritant, AJRGale and Sloopy. I've ran zadiag as admin and started a cmd prompt as administrator and started the bat file from there without success. I've also tried 2 different USB ports on 2 different computers with the same result. I did read the remainder of the thread and didn't notice anyone with the same issue, Google didn't bring back much either so I was hoping it was something so obvious nobody previously needed to ask!
