Dec 11 to Jan 11 Sidehack Compac Stick pool club latest setup.

[RichBC]

is anyone else in here running the compac sticks off a r1 antrouter?

Is there a firmware out there to update it to control the compac, wouldn't you need to install cgminer-gekko on the R1 first?

im wondering if running the 2 instances of CGMiner, on the 1 login causes one to drop the whole lot of miners its working with (eg: the 9 sticks all go down then reset usb connection)

I run 3 instances of cgminer on my desktop and don't have any issues.  In fact, I think I actually noticed a performance increase from my various usb miners when I gave them each their own instances (one for compac sticks, one for nanofury sticks, one for U3 before I let the R1 take it).

I am running my Compac on the R1 using the standard U3 cgminer. It's kind of neat as it stands alone & I have pointed the R1 chip to Donate. R1 is running at 300MHz and the Compac at 375MHz.

aarons6 has ported cgminer-gekko to the R1 but I have not been able to get it to run at the moment.

@ SFminer whats up?  did you startmining ? I just checked and
  I see you are mining to

http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1Hy4xM3HgTZ5myGUUpDvAGYqHCS1KeKxtm.SFMiner


{"hashrate1m": "16.5G", "hashrate5m": "13.8G", "hashrate1hr": "13.2G", "hashrate1d": "13.2G", "hashrate7d": "4.63G", "lastupdate": 1450112436, "shares": 794390, "bestshare": 1096765.4741425684, "bestever": 1096765}


So I guess you rather mine alone or maybe you don't understand you need to use .

to be in the club.

you PM'ed them about it?
if you haven and they didn't respond, I guess take it as donation..

Oh, well that's cool that it will work like that.  Do you have the compac plugged into a hub, then the R1 (like it says to do for the U3)?

Also, how do you change the compac frequency while it's controlled by the R1?  The pull-down menu is populated with frequencies for the U3.

It's a bit of a lash up at the Moment. I took my R1 apart & mounted it on a board with a fan and fan controller, plugged up an external 5V PSU to see how high I could clock it. Then when I got the Compac, that is plugged from the R1 USB via a Hub with a separate supply cooled by the same fan as the R1 innards.



I will tidy it up at some point, repackage the R1 and run it all on a single 5V supply and get rid of the Hub, but this is easier for playing...

The R1 runs 2 instances of cgminer with the familiar Antminer GUI and with crazyguy's firmware and a number of mods I have done adding frequencies and putting back the other stuff Bitmain took out in the R1 it works quite well.

Very cool, I use CrazyGuy's R1 for my U3, too.  I noticed that it's missing frequency 250, did you do a write up how to add missing frequencies?  I'd like to add that one back in, even though I run my U3 at 237.5 freq normally.

I will document what I have done over in the R1 thread when I get a chance to consolidate the work, also ideally want to get aaron6 cgminer-gekko running as he reports it as handling the Compac better. I sometimes have to replug after switch on to get it hashing.

I made changes to 2 files for the frequency. In /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminerconfig.lua added the following, this adds them to the pull down. Am not certain if the timeout values are correct as I just too the timeout for 125Mhz and halved it for 250MHz?

Code:

pb:value("0.34:400:0f82", translate("400M"))
pb:value("0.37:375:0e82", translate("375M"))
pb:value("0.39:350:0d82", translate("350M"))
pb:value("0.42:325:0c82", translate("325M"))
pb:value("0.45:300:0b82", translate("300M"))
pb:value("0.54:250:0982", translate("250M"))

In /etc/config/asic-freq This seems to be where the selected frequency is stored, but am not certain that this table is used?

Code:

	#option 'freq_value'    '0f82'  #400M
	#option 'chip_freq'     '400'
  	#option 'timeout'       '0.34'
	
	#option 'freq_value'    '0e82'  #375M
	#option 'chip_freq'     '375'        
	#option 'timeout'       '0.37'  
	
	#option 'freq_value'    '0d82'  #350M
	#option 'chip_freq'     '350'        
	#option 'timeout'       '0.39'  
	
	#option 'freq_value'    '0c82'  #325M
	#option 'chip_freq'     '325'        
	#option 'timeout'       '0.42'  
	
	#option 'freq_value'    '0b82'  #300M
	#option 'chip_freq'     '300'
  	#option 'timeout'       '0.45'
	
	#option 'freq_value'    '0a82'  #275M
	#option 'chip_freq'     '275'        
	#option 'timeout'       '0.50'
  	
	#option 'freq_value'    '0982'  #250M
	#option 'chip_freq'     '250'        
	#option 'timeout'       '0.54'  
	

Please bare in mind I do not relly know what I am doing when it comes to Software, but the above sems to work. Although I cannot get the Compac to hash at 400MHz for some reason. It may be a voltage / HW thing but those look ok, so am unsure.

if you want to send me CG's backup file i can see what he changed and put the cgminer in there for the compacs.

Quick request for @cryptoglance

on http://poolmonitor.cryptoglance.info/

Can we have:

Round 1 Shares | Round 2 Shares | Total All rounds | Total this round | 2015-12-11 | 2015-12-12 | 2015-12-13 | ......


This would make my life so easier !!! 

Thank you !

Noted! I should be able to get to it sometime this weekend.

[philipma1957]

quick up date we have 49 filled up.

1 dropped out = 48

1 has yet to get stick started = 47  so if a block hits 1/47 of a part a each =  .255 btc which is about 117 usd.

All subject to change once the new guy gets his stick working.


http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.bix0stick

and it is up so we have 48 up and at the block.

Each share of part A = .25  as .25 x 48 = 12 coins

my donation avalon sixes have pulled

"bestever": 4,502,660,907

If any of you didnt know -ck has added 2 new servers to solo mine at (China for Asia-Pacific region and Germany for Europe):

New mining nodes open for testing then. Please check your ping times to decide where to mine.

http://hk.ckpool.org, point miners to stratum+tcp://hk.ckpool.org:3333 and hk.ckpool.org:443 China for Asia-Pacific region

http://de.ckpool.org, point miners to stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333 Germany for Europe

Both of these nodes are both IPV4 and IPV6 as solo is. Note these are discrete nodes in their own right and share no data between them so you could even set them up as 2 extra failovers.

We'll see how their popularity pans out before I decide on whether to maintain these long term as well.

Enjoy!

I've just changed my miners to EU server .

EDIT: Scrap that, our pool stats dont work with the new servers, changing back to the old one (solo.ckpool.org).

I wouldn't put anything in place depending on the new server just yet. It's only in testing phase now to see how popular it is.

Ok buddy no worries, I did change my sticks to mine the new Germany server because its closer to me being in the UK but looks like the stats for this pool are only registering addresses starting with solo.ckpool so I changed it back. If it changes in the future to recognise the new servers I'll mine on the German (EU) one again .

[HerbPean]

My stick was down ... rebooted and forgot to restart it (failed)

Also the stick of TheRock is down, I told him. He'll get it back up when he have the time.

[user356546]

Woohoo, just got three more sticks! I had my one running at 350 for the past week or so with no issues, looking forward to seeing what 4 will do!

I do not need to change anything if they are all Compacs, do I?
