Now the funny part, had 1 stick just stop hashing a couple days ago and can't get it to start hashing again. Checked voltage (just tried setting it down to 0.560mV and just went up to 0.774mV) and looked at everything I can see without pulling the heat-sink off. Even checked it with the dork usb meter, got 5.06V, but was only getting about a 0.04A reading (maybe because it wasn't hashing?). About the only thing I can see, is it looks like maybe one of the legs on the 0902NS by the usb plug might not have got enough solder, but can't be sure (eyes ain't as good as they used to be)? Even did a fresh install of gekko-ver2 on the desktop and tried running it https://i.imgur.com/loIe2Iu.pngAnd pulled it, hot plugged a working 1 into same port) https://i.imgur.com/PWSosQy.pngWorking 1 starts hashing, so port and power is good. Is there a easy way to check if the leg on to 0902NS is making contact (with out shorting and burning something up?)? It would be the second leg from the left on the side by the R47 with the usb male pointing away from you. Like I said, it hashed up until a couple days ago, ever since I got it from the second batch order. |

Second leg from the anything doesn't matter a lot. There's a corner pin not connected to the rest on each one that needs to be connected, but the other three pins on that side are all common and the four on the opposite side are common.

just a quick thought:
maybe the people have problem with windows 10 should create a .bat file and run it in compatibility mode xp/7 ?
I don't think it's going to make a difference but it's worth a shot ?

I am having the very same problems as Arnette99. I got the bitshopper.de versions, using windows 10 I can see them in cgminer when I connect them WHILE the cgminer is running (if I connect them before, it crashes after a little while after startup).
zadig driver installed,
zlib1 present
tried bfgminer, without any luck
both miners in USB2 ports on PC.
cgminer 4.9.2.
it says no hashes, then restarting, then failure - zombie, then the cycle repeats.
Please help :/
Are you trying cgminer-gekko-ver2 or the first version? First one didn't work with the bitshopper sticks. But then again, it's probably something to do with windows 10, I think everyone who has tried to run them under 10 has had some kind of trouble. I have the new version of cgminer from first post, tried running as admin, running in compa mode. Nothing helps. Thinking about downgrading to windows 7... |

that would be a lot of hassle.
Can you try to boot from a Linux CD/DVD/USB and try there ?

I wish I could. I am on remote desktop 100km away and I need to wait till weekend to get my hands on the miners. However, I am determined to make them mine during this weekend =)

I run my 2 sticks on Windows10 with no problems at all.
Everything has been very straightforward and the sticks always perform wonderfully.

Did you try unplugging and replugging them while cgminer is running? |

Basically, it was necessary to make them start hashing. I have the North American versions. |

my small bitcoin setup right now   pretty nice. However I would swap the fan / sticks position so it blows on the part of the heatsink with the fins and directs airflow to both sticks. currently your drok/USB doctor thing is kinda blocking airflow to the lower stick I think. |

Just an update - got the miner replaced through the reseller and the new one works perfectly Bought a second one too, which is also great. |

Does anyone have a link to using the Bitmain R1 as a controller for these sticks? Is it as simple as just plug the sticks' hub into the R1? Any info provided would be great. I'm sure it's here somewhere, but searching didn't turn up anything and I don't have time to dig through pages and pages of threads.

Yes not much more complicated than that, but I would upgrade the R1 with CrazyGuy's firmware first. I've sold out of R1's, and as promised, I am releasing my customized firmware to the community. Please note that although I refer to this package as custom firmware, it is really just a patch file. If you reset your R1 to factory defaults, you will lose the customizations. In which case, you would just need to re-apply the patch. Changelog for release 0.95:- Opened up port 4029 for API access to cgminer-u3 instance - Max frequency for U3 increased to 250M - Max fequency for R1 increased to 250M (I have not personally tested freq past 125. Use at your own risk!) Firmware Enhancements- U3 zombie handling(Scripted auto-cgminer restarts and R1 reboot if necessary) - Supports modifying R1 pools from UI, without losing the ability to use Bitmain's solo pool for R1. - Detailed R1 stats page, including pool statistics - Supports modifying R1 freq and voltage from UI - U3 freq selection increased to 250M - Cgminer-U3 API open for monitoring with 3rd party tools WARNING: These customizations provide the ability to push your R1 beyond its intended limits. Because of this, it will likely void your warranty with Bitmain. Additionally, I provide this patch with no official support, and take no responsibility for any damage done to your R1 device or its surroundings. Use at your own risk! By downloading and applying this patch, the user is accepting these conditions. Download BelowR1CGCustomFW_0.95_2015-12-28.tar.gzUpgrade instructionsTo upgrade your firmware, go to "Backup / Flash Firmware" under the "System" tab - Click on the "Chose File" button to the right of "Restore Backup:" (NOTE: Do not mistake this with the "Chose File" button under Flash new firmware. - This is not a full binary firmware file) - Choose "R1CGCustomFW_0.95_2015-12-28.tar.gz" from your PC and then click on the "Upload archive" button. Your antrouter system will reboot and come back up with updated firmware! Rich |

Cool, I'll play around with it tonight. I got my R1 from CrazyGuy to use when I had a U3 and I recently updated it with his current release. Thanks! I guess figuring out how to set the compac frequency greater than 250 (max in CG's firmware) will be the trick here. |

Gotta build cgminer-gekko for it, or see if someone else already has. I think it's been done.

Yes PM aarons6 he has done this and it runs well, it's what I have been using. Rich |

Hi there,
I have had 2 of these sticks running without issue on a solar powered RPi setup for about 3 weeks now. (The setup is configured to burn off excess solar energy via these sticks once the battery banks are charged).
Unfortunately, it now appears I have 1 stick that just refuses to do anything? (No valid hashes for over 10 secs, etc. ). Both LEDs stay solid upon connection to a USB port.
I've pulled both and tested them on a Windows 7 desktop with the proper cgminer build, and the same results. One functions fine, the other does not. Both were left completely stock and running at 150MHz. There was *one* time when I manually hotplugged the stick where the LEDs changed and it appeared to start hashing for maybe 3 seconds... just enough for cgminer to register 700-900 MHash/s... then back to nothing.
Any ideas, or do I have a pretty paperweight?
