Hello, I need help! I Just bought a GekkoScience Compac BM1384, but I´m facing a lot of problems.


Let´s start saying it doesn't work under Windows 10, both with CGminer or BFGminer. For otherwise CGminer worked few times in windows. (Cgminer 4.9 built by Novak)

Well, Under Linux I got it working in my notebook (Direct Connected to USB Port) (Build my own 4.10 Version). But it haves a really low Hash Rate compared to others people report. I´m reaching an AVG 500 MH/s
Now, the strange thing, BFGMiner won´t work on linux even by adding -S compac:/dev/ttyUSB0 which points to my Miner, but this command actually make my miner flash the blue led all the time, which means it´s point to the right place, now the funny thing, if I mess around with the voltage screw (to be more precisely, when I set it to the point between 0.5V and 0.9, I mean, this is the point where nothing is set) while bfgminer is ruinng, it does start mining!

Ok now the hash rate under BFGminer is much bigger, it´s under an AVG of 5 Gh/s, some times it reachs 11 Gh/s and even 20 GH/s. But also it does a lot of heat, (Measured 75º Celcius or 167 ºF)

I´ve tried to connect a USB powered HUB, with less success  than before, Both CGMiner or BFGMiner won't recognize it unde Linux or Windows.

I´m facing Hardware problems?
