Hum I had to change pool from solo to de and now I get soem error on my stick.

I get reset error(0) LIBUSB_SUCESS and cant hash?

Any suggestion ?

unplug it and plug it back in


hmmmm....i had that error also...hmmmm......3 sidehack usb sticks...they can't all be bad right?


may have to re-look at hub issues etc etc

assuming this poster is correct on the fix ?

others? agree/disagree...... would explain a lot if it is hardware or hub (so lost) Smiley


edit: assuming the above is my problem .....compaq evo n800v laptop ports (even with 2 to 1 port cable adapter) and also the orico 2.0 usb hub someone on one of the threads
said DOES NOT WORK on the sidehack gekko usb 8gh sticks....

anyway looking for more info to punt (have a usb voltage tester coming to test the orico 10 port usb 2.0 hub) ...anyway ASSUMING this is part of my install issues

how does this look for a hub (need 10 port hub...have 3 sticks so need a bit of space between usb ports  for airflow imho)

ideally...anyone using this 10 port version or can point me to another powered hub..where it is UNLIKELY that it will be an issue with the gekko sticks?

just trying to eliminate some possibilities on why I'm having such issues...I have a hard time believing all 3 of my gh gekko miners are broke Smiley

anyway ...thoughts on approprate hubs?




make sure your hub is not USB 3.0 as that causes problems with miners...



well hell....i am not getting conflicting advice...folk from this thread say to USE 3.0 usb hubs ....

one guy has a product he has working with his sticks usb 3.0 etc......probably should just get that

side issue....will an OLD 2.0 usb on a laptop I want to use for this to a 3.0 usb hub make any diff ...or do i need a 3.0 usb old laptop to match

thoughts......probably should say the hell with it and build it with a raspberry PI etc and the guys hub he says works with such....) but anyway still stuff to know/do and fret over Smiley

USB3 have been ok for me. I just make sure they go through a USB2 hub before connecting to a USB2 port on the host.
