Just 2 more from me.  Try adding a lower difficulty?  --suggest-diff 128 --gekko-lowboost

And try a different pool to see if it is pool related.

Hey, thanks for your suggestions vickersja. Tried Both but it did not make any difference.

Hey bassrelic,

i noticed your hub only has a 5V3A power supply

"【USB 3.0 hub power supply】 - The 5V / 3A wall charger supplies the USB hub"
at 3A, that would not provide enough power to run multiple miners, have you tried running a single USB miner at a time and see how they work then?

Hi 419mining  and thanks for the observation and the remark. I am Aware of that. I just wanted to get to know how to mine in the first place and just picked up a not so sophisticated hub which i can also use comfortably for other things. Also i only own one NewPac miner atm - thus i think the hub specs should be sufficient (?)

I am starting to think that the ASICs could be gone for some reason. I set everything up for 100MHz (Without active cooling). I read online that this should be fine but above active cooling is adviced. Is it possible that the IC's suffered heat damages within 1-2 hours at room temp? (21°C / 69,8°F).
