Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread
I just received an older Apollo BTC Batch1 - batch3. and flashed it to 2.0.6.
It is up running hashing to a pool and loading the node.
Looking over the comments in this link I begin to wonder if I should be looking for a 2Tb NVME to replace my 1Tb in the near future..
If so should I worry about brands and speeds?
And is it just a simple swap-out?

From a fresh format of the 1Tb NMVE in my Apollo BTC I ran out of disc room after loading just over 85% of the chain.
So the question now is will the Apollo BTC support a 2Tb NMVE or will I just not be able to support a node?
Where do I go from here?
Hmmm. For reference, I show 25.66% remaining on my 1 TB NVME that came with my Apollo II (as of today with a blockchain size of 665.74GB).
Same here, still plenty of space left on my 1TB
Third time and it is full in the mid 80% again
The first time I ran it out of the box and the next two times I used the Apollo BTC format function.
Each time the used % and free % look great up till it gets into the 70% used and then all of a sudden it is clear that there is no longer enough space remaining.

Re: Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread
Hi all,
I recently acquired a Apollo BTC batch 1 - batch 3.
I've flashed the card with the latest os and it is now happily hashing BTC from a pool.
Now I would like to move to hashing LTC from a pool.
So my question is, are the instructions listed in the beginning of this link correct or do I need to read through 70 some pages of information to understand what needs to be done?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

I am looking at pools to join and when I got to ViaBTC I (or my virus protection) discovered that they were trying to push "Name: not-a-virus:HEUR:RiskTool.Script.BitMiner.gen" to my computer.
Dose anyone know what this is all about?

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
Has anyone found a pool that accepts less than .001 BTC that they like?
kano.is will payout less than that, but your hash rate needs to be above the dust level which is probably around 500Ghs or so.
Asking about pools tends to get a bit ugly sometimes as we all have differing opinions on what constitutes a good pool to us.
Sorry not wanting to start a firefight
Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
And another question (or two)...................
As I look at the various mining pools I see a minimum withdrawal of .001 BTC.
Has anyone found a pool that accepts less than .001 BTC that they like?
Are you doing solo in hopes of success or just waiting for the payout?
What pools do you like and why?
Sorry for all the questions....................

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
Update...............
I bumped the frequency up to 200 MHz and now I'm measuring:
83 deg. F. to 89 deg. F. on the boards
79 deg. F. to 85 deg. F. on the heat sink
This is after at least 8 hours of continuous running.

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
New question......
I'm currently running 4 Gekkoscience-newpac @150 MHz on a gekkoscience hub being cooled by two ARCTIC Breeze blowing on them.
The heat-sink temps range from 79 deg. F. to 87 deg. F. and the board temps range from 81 deg. F. to 85 deg. F. after 8 hours of solid running.
My question is how much higher can I SAFELY raise the frequency and maintain a safe stable environment?

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
Make sure you have good cooling on your sticks as you ramp up your frequency.
Yup got a pair of ARCTIC Breeze blowing on them
Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
Well that tool a while but I'm now at 150MHz................
I finally found and changed the cgminer.conf file.
It was hiding at : /root/.cgminer/cgminer.conf
I think it ends in .conf
THANKS !

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
Any thoughts on which of them to look for the frequency parameter or whit it might be called so I can search for it?
I think it ends in .conf
I've looked through the CGminer folder and found no files ending with .conf, additionally I've searched through the configuration files mentioned above.
I've also read the READ ME file but I cannot see where the Gekko Variables (arguments) are stored.
Please do not tell me that I will need to recompile the CGminer.
Am I to believe that it is impossible to change the frequency with the argument " --gekko-newpac-freq xxx" once compiled?

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
I have the following:
configure.ac
configure
config sub
config.status
config.log
config.h.in
config.h
config.guess
Think it might be configure?
I searched it for freq and frequency but found nothing, I guess I could look for 100.........
What do you think?

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
In CGMiner you should see T:150 where mine above says T:650. That is the target CGMiner is trying for. If you didn't see the T:150 then something is telling CGMiner to target 100 Mhz instead. Someone asked to check your .conf file for conflicting commands.
Nice we are starting to get there.
In CGminer i see T:100.
So something is really set to a freq of 100.
In looking in CGminer I see no less than 8 files referring to configuration or config.
Any thoughts on which of them to look for the frequency parameter or whit it might be called so I can search for it?

Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
Three people have asked you multiple questions. You could try answering some of them, maybe.
Shure I'll try...From the top...........
I thought bravo mining pool was closed?
Also we need more info on your setup. What hub, what OS etc etc etc

Sorry if I confused anyone, I'll try again.
I've been using the following script for several weeks now with one to four (4) newpacs mining successfully.
"cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.(my mining pool address):3333 -(user name) (password) -p x --suggest diff 1 --gekko-newpac-freq 100"
Today I changed "gekko-newpac-freq 100" to "gekko-newpac-freq 150" in the above script.
And I saw no change in frequency..... It stayed at 100.00 MHZ and I waited for it to change for 20 minutes.
Currently I have four (4) successfully mining with the script changed to "gekko-newpac-freq 150" all Four (4) show a frequency of 100 MHZ with 22 plus change Gh/s.

OS is Linux on Rasberry Pi4 driving a Gekkoscience hub.
That was my thought too. Johnny closed his pool and the thread.
Does the target say 150?
How long did you wait? The auto tune can take a while.

Target??? the only reference is in my script which I changed to "gekko-newpac-freq 150".
So its been over 18 hours and I'm still mining at 100 Mhz.
Did you ever create a config file in cgminer? If so it could be overriding your scripts command to up the freq.
The only change or thing I've done was with the scrip as mentioned before.
Did you run it direct from your morherboard usb port?
I'm using a Gekkoscience hub as mentioned before.
