It's a bug in gcc.
Discussed at length in the #gekko channel on my pool.
It works fine on ubuntu latest LST and latest dev ubuntu with gcc 12.3.0 (latest)
It also works fine on the previous RPiOS
However I wont use RPiOS coz the video driver is closed source and not available on ubuntu.
So just use any ubuntu - even the latest - and it works fine.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Kano,
I fired up my old 2pacs and saw you had an updated Cgminer with improved anti-zombie, so I tried it. Oddly, when I run it, it shows 100mhz which should be 11gh each, but its actually running about 16gh which would be 150mhz (x.11). I checked your site and my batch file that I just copied from my 4.11 folder and everything checks out. While I can clock 225mhz (atm) on 4.11, I get stuck at 150mhz on 4.12+ and it reports 100...
Nm, just saw that it was loading a conf file, so I'm an idiot.
Have a great day, and happy mining.

Happy new year to all.
For GekkoScience CompacFs with their GekkoScience BaseHub, which is better to use, a RPi 3B+ 1GB, RPi 4B 8GB, or a RPi 5 8GB? Also what do you think of Orange Pi 5 Plus with 16 GB of RAM? Or it does not make any difference to what to what I use?

It probably doesn't make any difference. I think all of the above would have enough horsepower to maintain the USB timings. It doesn't take much, until you start loading up a bunch of sticks, and then the problem is more to do with OS scheduler timings interleaving than with CPU/RAM.

Thanks @sidehack. Should you daisy chain 2 GekkoScience BaseHubs together and plug it in the RPi or should you connect each GekkoScience BaseHub to a separate RPi? Or should you just plug 2 GekkoScience BaseHubs to 2 different USBs on the same RPi? Also which OS is better on the RPi for the GekkoScience BaseHub with better OS scheduler timings, Raspian or Ubuntu? |

Raspbian and Ubuntu are both Debian-based so they'll have the same innards. Likely you won't notice a difference.
Were I doing it, I'd plug both hubs into different ports on a single Pi. The internal controller's pipeline and timings won't be any different but I'd feel better about distributing the data payload early on in the stream.

Use the cheapest, lowest-power device for best efficiency. I've ran all my GekkoScience stuff on a Raspberry Pi 2B+, no issues whatsoever and pretty low power consumption. How many sticks are you looking to run? |

That should give you a bit more than 2TH/s for a purchase price of over 1200 bucks without hubs. I'm curious why you wouldn't get one or two R909's for a total of ~1000€ instead (over 4TH/s in total), instead? |

Sorry @n0nce for the misunderstanding, I already have these 2 Hubs and the Gekkos running. I was just trying to see which single board computer will give me the optimum setup. I already have them all except the RPi 5.
As you mentioned, the R909s would be better if I did not have those 2 Hubs and Gekkos.

Nothing to be sorry about.  It just sounded to me like you were still about to buy the whole setup. For the performance, as I said, I'd use any Pi you already own or can get your hands on for cheap and do check the power consumption. The 4 and 5 can pull a lot more power than the older models, but they might be able to idle down to a comparable level. |

Question for the experts, in your experience, which is the optimum configuration for the CompacF 3D printed fan, pull or push configuration?

as replied in Discord, for cooling heatsinks always use push. additional fans that are pulling are just to assist the pushers. |

Where do you get the fan holder for this device?  |

Quick question, I'm running two Gekko hubs, three compaq f on each hub, however it is only recognizing four of the six as USB devices. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Is your PSU enough for the six Compac F ? |
