I don't know if you mentioned earlier, but I see you're using bitshopper Compacs. And the Windows build of cgminer-gekko. I don't know what the BFG hangup is, but the Win32 cgminer-gekko someone compiled off the old version; we updated it to support bitshopper sticks and I bet nobody's created a Windows build since then.
What do you get with stock cgminger 4.9.2 with Icarus support (which I believe the default Windows download includes)? If they detect at all they should come up as Antminer U3.
Also, someone previously asked if you had made sure to grab zlib1.doo or whichever it's called; this was somehow left out of the Win32 archive but cgminer needs it to work properly. A stock cgminer Windows archive will have it.
this is the developer of cgminer's link
click it and go to the 4.9.2 links you can find missing zlib
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/4.9.2 works! 4.9.1 give me the permission errors
I could kiss you all! thanks so much for helping!

Now i need to change the pool / address

Random question maybe offtopic but i run a Full node. Could i just point cgminer at the full node rather than using a pool? does anyone have a link they wouldnt mind sharing for me to look at. (I am planning on solo mining) thanks again!
