4.9.2 works! 4.9.1 give me the permission errors
For future reference in this thread, that is because there was an undocumented bug in 4.9.1 where it would not recognize the Antminer U3 (which is what the Compac stick is recognized as if not using cgminer-gekko). 4.9.2 fixed this bug and has some other changes that were specific to the U3.
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!
Yes, you can solo mine against your own node, but you are better off solo mining in the ck solo "pool". It's not really a pool, but it has much better network connections than any of our home nodes could have, so if you do solve a block you have a much better chance of it being accepted first from ck solo than if you mined against your own node. See the ck solo pool thread for more information in this regard,
