I don't see how and why a government would allow cryptocurrencies to overtake its own currency as the medium for exchange for goods and services within the global economy.  There are many reasons for this. However the idea of allowing the Government Currency to hedge against BTC is an interesting idea.  We would be going back to the days before the FED was created.

Re: GekkoScience has a new stickminer that does 300+GH

What am I doing wrong?

I compiled cgminer from github/kanoi and it runs, however, all it seems to do is plateau adjusts and lowers the target frequency by 5MHz each time.
Sample output:

Any help, please?

Can you share more details of the code you input to start the cgminer?

I gotcha. no worries. Im def not complaining. These Ferraris are awesome!

Since i got the Gekko hub I ramped them up (incrementally) to 550mhz.  3 were getting about 360ghs, and 1 was at 340.  Which is still amazing.

and I did dial back the volt screw. but then it only got up to 520mhz.  so i turned back up a bit, but not as much as I had before.  its back to 550mhz,  and 340ghs.  So it's all good.

If only I could find more gekko hubs, Id buy some more. There is a guy in Germany selling 2 hubs on Ebay for like 1500 Euros ($1700) +$160 shipping.  I offered him $500, and he told me to go F myself  ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯   hopefully there in stock again soon.


I have the same issue with 1 of my stick too, but I couldnt find out which stick it was.  I got 8 of them, runnin on the bigtcoinmerch hub.

I thought it was the inconsistentcy of power distribution when all 4 sticks are plugged in to each of the hubs. 

I run all of them at 400Mhz averaging around 250Ghs, but 1 always come down to around 115 MHz / 120GHs

Has anyone here pushed these hot rods to the max doing 800 MHz?

“we agreed to cap the speed to 800MHz (538GH theoretical) for safety and sanity's sake”

I am curious of what the results were and the setup to actually make this possible, give that usb powered hub ports safety levels are at 3amps.

Im runnin my sticks on the bitcoinmerch usb hubs.. they are not steady at all Sad  I should have picked up the gekkoscience hubs when they were available..
