NewPac 2Pac Rockminer U10 compatabilty

[Cohenpol]

Hello All

I’m fairly new to this, read what I can search but I can’t seem to find a solution. Any help is appreciated or a link to the correct part of this forum. He’s my situation:

I have x8 Rockminer U10’s beavering away with x1 2Pac using cgminer 4.10 clocked at 225Mhz and returning 213.6GH/s on ckpool. The hub is a 10 port Sipolar with a hardwired 5v 30A PSU.  I’m drawing 18.25A so the stock 10A PSU wasn’t enough.

I’m working on a second setup with x10 NewPacs using cgminer 4.11 but mixing NewPacs and Rockiminers doesn’t work on either cgminer version.  I’m happy to slpit the hubs and have each cgminer running separately but is there a way to combine the hashrate or is this automatic via my address on ckpool?  i.e. x8 Rockminers and x1 2Pac on cgminer 4.10 and x10 NewPacs on cgminer 4.11 churning away on one laptop with each data cable plugged into the laptop.

Can this be ran from a Raspberry Pi with two cgminer instances runnnig this setup?

Any help is appreciated.

You should be able to run two setups on two different instances of cgminer each with its own worker name. So one would be your "username.10xnewpacs" and the other would be "same username.8xU10s" or whatever combination you choose. They would show up as two different workers but you should get a whole hashrate on the pool. For example I have ten workers names on bitminter (although only using one) but it will show my whole hashrate on the main stats page but in my account I can see each individual worker shares.

Have you checked the Newpac/Terminus R606 thread for answers. Rockminer actually copied sidehacks Newpacs and didnt give him a penny for them. Thieving scum!

Anyway, in the thread there is a version of cgminer built by vh with autotune functionality. So you can set a freq in the .bat file and cgminer will automatically tune it to its highest most stable hashrate.

Hi GT

There's been an update to which I'm now trying to run a x1 R606, x1 Newpac, x1 2Pac and x12 U10s.  I use 4.11.1 for the R606 and Newpac and just those two run super smooth at 550MHz/Vcore  setting 1 (410mV) and 250MHz Vcore max respectively.  I return 756GHs with room for improvement.   However, my main issue is that when I add the 2Pac to the same or different hub as the x1 Newpac, I mainly see 'usb write' messages against the 2Pac and the overall average hash rate drops.  I thought you could run multiple freq settings of miners together and after reading most of these forums, I see multiple 'freq' commands for each.

I've also tried running the 2Pac on 4.10.0 (same and different hub) but then I get the 'you don't have the privilege' type message and I'm back to using only 4.11.1.  The U10s don't show on cgminer 4.10.0 but use Rockminer 4.10.0 instead.  The 2Pac is recognised on Rockminer 4.10.0 but the same 'privilege' message appears on 4.11.1 when I start the 4.10.0.  Up to that point, 4.11.1 works fine.  I use a laptop with Windows 7 and have a DPS1200-1, breakout board with PCIe cables to the R606, x2 GS hubs.  I use Lindy USB cables, Arctic Breeze USB fans and Eluteng/AC Infinity fans. If you can please help in how I can have all these miners working in unison, even if they're over multiple instances.  I don't know what I'm missing or what to add to my username like in your previous reply.  I really need some explained help as trawling through the forums (of which I have and enjoyed) can't seem to find the answer.  I will be looking at a Pi to run all in the future but for now, I'm not thinking it's Windows 7 that's my issue...unless I'm completely wrong!  My BAT is something like:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u myusername -p x --gekko-r606-freq 550 --gekko-newpac-freq 250 --suggest-diff 256 --widescreen

When I add --gekko-2pac-freq "more than 100" it fails.  When the 2pac works, it only works at stock and only with as many U10s as you want.  The problems start when I run 4.10.0 after 4.11.1.  For info, all miners plug into the GS hubs then one out to my laptop port if this makes a difference.  They are all USB 2.0 ports.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Regards
