Still unsure on what USB 3.0 hub to get for good speeds (at least 15GH but closer to 20GH would be ideal). I'm going to be using 4 sticks on the hub. What about this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORICO-BH7-U3-7-Port-USB-3-0-Hub-BC1-2-Charging-with-60W-Power-Adapter-Black-/161522733886?hash=item259b81533e:g:aBcAAOSwnDZUH8QN

I would suggest also getting the Y adapter.  It is really nice your able to get power off 2 ports.   I used decent usb 2 hubs but with the y adapter for power I was able to OC.  Around 16GH is about as high as I pushed it.

But you can get those Y adapters pretty cheap on ebay to.

If you can get the one zOU linked to shipped to you, I would go with that one.

Reading the description on the one you linked to, it looks like it will only do 1.2 amps per port when plugged into the Pi/PC and who knows if it will work with the Pi. Were the Superbpag/PAG will do 2 amps per port (and does work with the Pi), which would get you closer to 15MHz (you could push 4 to 15MHz but the PAG is going to get really hot).

Maybe it is the same by the word of the mouth.
Superbpag had description that it is 70W and it clearly had power adapter.
Apart from the title, the product description of PAG is really skimpy.
It says (verbatim):
"It standardly comes with a 3.0 USB cable and a copper-core cable of the charger."

Hi all !

i'm new ( and french so sorry for my bad english ).

I start with cpu and gpu mining program MinerGate. They use cryptonight  .

I bought GekkoScience Compac BM1384.
I download  cgminer-gekko-win32
working very well at pool BitcoinCZ

At minerGate
They said we can use alternative program like ccminer

ex: ccminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mro.pool.minergate.com:45560 -u YOUR_EMAIL -p x

It (cgminer-gekko-win32) dont know -a cryptonight and i think it's important ( lol )

My question is here .

Can i use cgminer-gekko-win32 for cryptonight at MinerGate.

Tank you for your help !  Huh

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CryptoNight its a different computational cryptography for mining, so it is unsuitable for the SHA256 processing cores in the ASIC. looks like cryptonight is designed for CPUs with 2MB of L2 cache and random number generator.

ccminer is a different program to cgminer, also the "-a" switch is for algorithm change.

So basically, No, you cannot use the BM1384 ASIC for other algorithms.

ty for your answer i'm growing !

ok . some currency have his cripto algorightm .

BTC and LTC they are not a cryptonight algo ?

if it's Yes
can i use my Gekko for  Bitcoin, Litecoin?
BTC

Again ty for your support...

So ...

Bitcoin sound's good.

Next step is ...

If mining it's a lotterie base on pool hash vs your's

less pool hash number == hier chance you have and by the same time better reward ?

if it's Yes i will try small pool . Like MinerGate Bitcoin.

with my new  Shocked Gekko overclocked at 250MHz


i will tell you if it's work...  Wink

hello AdsepBitCoin

you can mine 2 ways:

- in a pool where you get rewarded with fraction of BTC for each share that your ASIC succesfully solves
- in a solo pool, where you get rewarded with a full block (25BTC) but only if you have the highest share of that block

option 1: slow but garanteed BTC
option 2: no gain unless you have high hashing power or a lot of luck Smiley

exemple: with 6 stick running at 320Mhs (~105Ghs), my highest share is 20 687 226.
the last person to have solved a block on solo.ckpool had a best share of 252 987 485 486 which is 12229x more than me......and he has 125Ths (which is 1200x more than me)


edit: feel free to PM me as I'm french and can help you if you find it easier than in english.

ty zOU ...


yae . i read a bit on solo and when you are little if you dont have chance ( lot lot lot ) you work for nothing.

but maybe it's less time to win 25bitcoin  then working for it.
i just take take way like a dice player. ( i'm not )

So gl to you !
in fact gl to all !

Still growing ty !  Cheesy

I don't remember what the Win32 version does, however the linux compile the only software switch you need worry about is the frequency with --compac-freq ### where ### is a number between 100 and 500 .

As there is no working switch for voltage in cgminer/compac, you have to adjust the voltage with the potentiometer on the front of the stick, with the assistance of a digital multimeter.

The highest voltage you will probably get is around 800mV and the highest stable frequency you can get is around 400-420mHz if you have enough power from your hub (hence the need for a USB3.0 hub - has more power per port, but you can use a y-cable with a USB2.0 hub)

Note that the more power and frequency you use, the hotter the stick(s) will get - SO USE ACTIVE COOLING!  if you are running less mHz, you need less mV, so if you want to run at say 300mHz, set the potentiometer to 800mV, start the program, and adjust the potentiometer downwards until you start to get errors, then turn it back up slowly until the errors go away.

There is a mathematical equation, but its only hypothetically correct and, given manufacturing variances of all products combined (not just the compacs) and my abysmal failure at math, I just start it high and tweak it till its right.

Oh, if I didn't say it before, USE ACTIVE COOLING!!  Fans!  Get some!



En français, gracieuseté de Google.
Quote from: Google Translate
Je ne me souviens pas de ce que la version Win32 fait, mais le linux compiler le seul commutateur logiciel vous devez vous préoccuper de la fréquence avec --compac-freq ### où ### est un nombre compris entre 100 et 500.

Comme il n'y a pas d'interrupteur à travailler pour la tension dans cgminer / compac, vous devez ajuster la tension avec le potentiomètre sur la face avant de la baguette, avec l'aide d'un multimètre numérique.

La tension la plus élevée, vous obtiendrez probablement est autour de 800mV et la plus haute fréquence stable, vous pouvez obtenir est d'environ 400-420mHz si vous avez assez de puissance de votre hub (d'où la nécessité d'un hub USB3.0 - a plus de puissance par port, mais vous peut utiliser un câble en Y avec un concentrateur USB 2.0)

Notez que plus la puissance et la fréquence que vous utilisez, le plus chaud de la clé (s) obtiendront - afin d'utiliser un refroidissement actif! si vous utilisez moins mHz, vous avez besoin de moins mV, donc si vous voulez exécuter à dire 300 MHz, régler le potentiomètre sur 800mV, démarrer le programme, et de régler le potentiomètre vers le bas jusqu'à ce que vous commencez à avoir des erreurs, puis rallumez lentement jusqu'à ce que les erreurs disparaissent.

Il ya une équation mathématique, mais il est seulement correct et hypothétiquement, les écarts de fabrication donnés de tous produits confondus (pas seulement les compacs) et mon échec catastrophique en maths, je viens de le lancer haut et le tordre jusqu'à sa droite.

Oh, si je ne dis avant, UTILISER refroidissement actif !! Fans! Prends-en!

What if I used this for power:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORICO-DCP-48W-7-Port-Universal-USB-Charging-Station-Hub-with-7-x-2-4A-Charger-/191295371185?hash=item2c8a17b7b1:g:Mt8AAOSwqu9VMOm7

with Y cables into a normal USB 2.0 hub for data.

Would that work well?

It was me and it's not available at Amazon under that name anymore but the identical hub is named PAG now.  Do a search for pag usb hub on Amazon.  These are great and do run on the Pi using usb3.

Yes. I seen it mentioned some where (but couldn't remember by who) and gave it a shot.

Been working great, except for if you push it hard, it gets way to hot.

Been thinking of opening it up to see if I could cut some slots and maybe add a little 5V Pi case fan, to get some air flow inside the hub to help keep it cool.
It gets hot? What are you running them at? My 4 have been at 300 since the start.

I pushed the hub to the 70W limit (probably a little over) for a short time, did 4 sticks at 340 when it got hot (with plenty of air from fans blowing over the case).

Settled on 4 at 310, seems to be a good mix with the hub just being a little warm to the touch. With some kind of air flow going to the inside of the hub or through it, it would probably do 4 sticks at about 320-325 and stay cool.
