Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread

hello @pumplerod

I was mining from a mac as well. The first page explains how to fix the "no devices detected" in the Questions and Answers part. That fixes the issue.

At least it did for me. Please tell me if you still have the problem

With help from this thread I have been able to get cgminer compiled and running on my mac (10.12 sierra), however, even though the GekkoScience USB stick is recognized, it does not seem to actually get used when cgminer executes.

cgminer 4.9.2

Code:

%> ./cgminer -ndevs
[2017-09-19 20:17:13.891] USB all: found 11 devices - listing known devices
.USB dev 0: Bus 20 Device 6 ID: 10c4:ea60
Manufacturer: 'GekkoScience'
Product: '2Pac BM1384 Bitcoin Miner'
[2017-09-19 20:17:13.891] 1 known USB devices

When run I get a message that no devices are detected.

Code:

%> ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u BITCOIN_ADDRESS --compac-freq 150

I'm not sure what steps to take next in getting cgminer to access the Stickminer
