Hi all,

I am the next one asking for some help Wink

I almost read all of the pages in this post but I am not able to get the Compac Miners from Bitshopper working as expected.

I am using this hub: http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-Charging-Adapter-Windows-H10C1-U3/dp/B00HSHN82K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1453394936&sr=8-4&keywords=orico+10+port
with two miners in it.

I am also using bfgminer with compac support enabled.
The usb hub is running on my Linux box (standard desktop pc) because I am running an Bitcoin full node so there is no need for me to take one of my PI's for it Wink

Both sticks are just running fine with .674V and 125MHz. But then the speed is "just" 8.26GH/s per each miner. I tried almost everything (spinning the potentiometer with setting the MHz to almost everything between 125 and 300). I can get the sticks running very well with different configurations and about 16 to 17 GH/s average. But after 10 minutes the sticks stop working, no hardware error or something like this.
I even dont see any message using journalctl stating that the sticks are disconnected.

Does someone has a hint for me what I can try next to get more hash power out of these miners?

Thanks

Shelltux

on that hub you are limited to 0.9A/slot, which is probably why it does not work at some settings that you tried. Solution-a different hub (Anker with up to 2A/slot works fine on Linux) or Y-cables (cheaper). Search Y-cables on this thread-there are dozens of posts. something like this:

Thanks for your answer but I am not able to figure out how many Amp one slot gives me. Do you mean this Anker hub: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-10-Port-Transfer-PowerIQ-Charging/dp/B00VDVCQ84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453400029&sr=8-1&keywords=Anker+60W+7-Port
With this one I am unsure how to interpret the information. They say that these IQ ports gives you max 2.1 amp power while the other ports giving .900 amps and in my opinion I cannot use the IQ ports for my miner because they transfer no data.

nevermind anker-it also has 0.9, my mistake, I edited the original post. Plugable has the right slots (at least 1.5A), and everyone favorite-Superbpag, which is now either gone or changed to simply PAG, but I cannot find it easily, somehow.

Re OP on windows: too much hassle on windows. A lowly and cute rasp pi does the job or install linux (could work in a dual boot mode), like Ubuntu.
Absolutely no probs there as far as running is concerned.
