New cgminer vh/gekko build just released, as seen in this post from vh: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.msg48649259#msg48649259

or download it directly here: http://23.108.83.14/images/cgminer-4.11.1-windows-gekko-60d9f64.7z

If you have not done so already, it is highly recommended to update and install to ensure your USB stick miners are working as intended!

Some users have been struggling to get there NewPac sticks running at speeds over 100Gh/s. Therefore, I made this diagram to help any users, new or old. There is a potentiometer that controls the voltage, looks like a screw head, and is located on the PCB board of all NewPac USB sticks. If you pay close attention, you will notice a flat section along the outer perimeter of the screw head. Use that flat part for reference as you increase and/or decrease the voltage to meet your needs. Please note, even the slightest movement of the pot will affect the voltage, so only turn the screw head in very small increments.

So, I am now mining at over 1Th/s using only NewPac sticks. I have been asked by a few different people to share my setup, so here goes..

I am using an MSI GE72MVR 7RG Apache Pro Laptop running Windows 10.1 latest edition. I am using 2 of the 4 USB ports to connect the new GekkoScience USB hubs available here: 419mining.com

To prevent as much resistance as possible, I am using short (1.5'), gold plated Monoprice USB cables as can be seen on Amazon here: http://a.co/d/34dBcqo

I have x5 NewPac sticks in each USB hub, being cooled by placing high velocity 90mm PC fans directly on top of the heatsinks. This blows cool air down each stick and any excess heat along with it. Measuring temps with my infrared thermometer (heat gun) shows temps at 104°F. The 90mm fans fit perfectly when placed directly atop of the USB hub with x5 NewPac stick in, and can be found here: http://a.co/d/dnVhvcN

For power, I am using a HP 1200 Watt Platinum Server PSU with breakout board, and connecting via the 6-pin PCI-e terminal. The 1200 Watt PSU is definitely overkill, but I generally only run my power supplies at 40% of their maximum rated capacity. Virtually the same PSU setup can be found here: 419mining.com

To control the speed of my fans, I am using a 12V DC fan speed controller I had laying around (these are very high velocity fans and need power cranked down a bit). The same one is available on Amazon here: http://a.co/d/g1eLxdz

Nice lttle setup rockmoney. Im hoping to have the same going thing going on eventually. Just out of curiousity how much power does do the hubs use? Im thinking of getting a little solar array set up to power mine.

Power consumption per stick is at most 12 Watts. So, estimating on the extreme high end, that's a total of 120 Watts (10 sticks x 12 Watts each). Plus, the fans are using about 6 Watts each, so that's 12 Watts total for cooling. In total, we have 120 Watts (10 NewPac sticks) + 12 Watts (90mm fans) + 6% (for PSU efficiency) = 140 Watts.

On the low side, we can say 10 Watts per stick, and 3 Watts per fan. That would be 100 Watts for the sticks, 6 Watts for the fans, and + 6% = 112.4 Watts.

To answer your question, total power consumption for my setup is somewhere between 113 Watts - 140 Watts total. I am averaging ~1.1Th/s poolside with AsicBoost enabled. Without AsicBoost, I don't see any of the "missing nonce" errors on cgminer, but it lowers my average poolside hashrate to ~850Gh/s.

Thats great. Thanks rockmoney. Looks like a little solar setup may well be feasible on those figures.

No problem gt_addict! I don't know too much about solar (mainly because they're moving ass backwards here in the good 'ol US of A, due to fossil fuel entrepreneurs having the money and power to move an entire country that direction), but phillipma1957 is a whiz with solar, and a very active user here (although you likely knew that).

Doing a small amount of research after reading your post, I decided to check out 300-500 Watt starter solar systems. My local Home Depot can "special order" a very basic looking 400 Watt solar kit for $619.99 USD. Plus, I would need a fair amount of other various parts and pieces in order to use the power it generates. Having done plenty of electrical work in my lifetime, I'm guessing I would need at least $600 USD for wires, receptacles, junction boxes, and other parts/pieces! Unless I'm missing something, solar would [unfortunately] not make the best option for me at this time. Which, really pisses me of BTW!

Anyway, I hope things are better on your side of the pond in regards to renewable energy! But ya, very little power consumption for a great return at those rates for sure!

After a bit of research here in the UK I think I’m in agreement with you lol. Its a bit expensive just for the panels, controller and associated ancilleries. Factor in a couple of deep cycle batteries and the fact its inevitably overcast here it just doesnt make sense. Oh well, the hope of a mini “gekko green” rig will have to wait.

[digitalcitizen]

Does anyone have one in Australia they will accept BTC payment for, that can be shipped after the weekend?

Thanks, I'd love to get my hands on one before I get a few from the US.  I'm offering BTC but I can exchange to a different currency if you prefer, or I can cash out and do a bank deposit.  Whatever works for you. 

Cheers

Anyone heard from rockmoney? Messaged a few days ago about some gear and havent heard anything.

Buy broken panels get them super cheap and most put out decent voltage and around half current got 3 panels a while ago cost £30 for 500watts cheap change controller £5-10 and a few dieing battery's £15 each step down from 24v to 5v £10 for 20amp less than £100 not to bad in the end

Dear Rockmoney,

May I know where are the probe points to measure the voltage across the actual Vcc across the ASICs BM1387 with a multimeter?

Thank you.
