Money sent.

It still amazes me how I can send money to anyone via the Internet, with absolutely no permission, and anonymously. Bitcoin is a liberating technology.

Block 907436 ends with 'E', and so NotFuzzyWarm wins. Please drop an address here or via PM.

I put a little fan above it, and it works. Thanks to Nexus9090 and NotFuzzyWarm. I don't know which one to pay for, because both of you helped me resolve this, so I'll just pay Nexus if the block 907436 ends with 0-7, and NotFuzzyWarm if it ends with 8-F.

So, just to be sure I understand both of you... You're telling me that at least some air movement is necessary for the device to reliably provide a steady hashrate, no matter what that is. Is that correct? Again, I have no problem letting it hashing at 10 GH/s, if that can mitigate the air trouble.

Upgrade it into what, if not a fan?

I used this to try setting frequency to 100:

I also tried the same with --gekko-compac-freq 100 instead. Nothing, it stayed the same, 200. Then, I wrote a config file, like in the github issue you shared. I let cgminer create the default by pressing 'W', and then I changed this line:

To:

Still, I run "./cgminer" and encounter the same issue. I haven't tried changing gekko.conf in kano's files. I'm trying to lower the voltage by counterclockwise switch, and see how this goes.

OK, I cloned that repository, but I'm running into the same problem as before. Also, I didn't mention that setting frequency with --gekko-compacf-freq <value> does not actually change the frequency. The frequency remains the default one (200). I wouldn't rather buy a fan at the moment. I would like to have it working without a fan, even if that means I should lower the frequency, I have no problem with that.

I have bought a GekkoScience Compac F USB miner (200-350 GH/s) and I want to try solo-mining. I know my chances are extremely slim, but I like learning mining.

I installed cgminer from this repository: https://github.com/wareck/cgminer-gekko. However, when I leave it mining for a few minutes, it slowly declines in hashrate until it completely reaches zero. I think it has to do with overheating, because I tried touching it, and I almost got my finger burned; it's extremely hot. I use a Y cable (2 male, 1 female) to connect it to my computer, because it needs more power than the USB port can provide.

I was wondering if there's a way to go around this problem. I don't want to unplug and plug it throughout the day. Maybe could I somehow program it to use less resources or have less frequency? I don't care falling from 200 GH/s to 2. I just want to have it working. (I tried lowering its frequency using the --gekko-compac-freq and  --gekko-compacf-freq flags, but none seemed to work; at some point, it just stopped working again.)

I'm sending 15000 sats to the person who can help me make it working.
