Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
You can set it to 150 MHz and see if there are any HW errors. If not, it´s fine. If the number of HW errors is incrementing you need to turn up the voltage a little bit. If the number stops incrementing, it´s fine. Otherwise there is not enough power and one stick should zombie. If that happens, you know your limit.
And the other way around, right? I can slowly turn the voltage down a little, as to avoid heating issues, until I start seeing HW errors?

Typically, a dedicated "charging port" doesn't carry data. I'm surprised you're getting anything out of it if you're plugged into one of those.
Yes, I know, but the UH700 have 7 "normal" ports where three can become charging ports with 1.5 A each if the external power cable is attached.
But that's where it should be at 100 MHz. Still surprised you're getting anything out of a "charging port" but happy you're on track now.
I'm just happy that it works, and seem to work stable now. Next mission is to see what I have to do to get it to 150 MHz, but that's another part
And yes, I'm really thankful for all the support I've gotten through here

And more importantly... 3 o'clock, with the USB side being 6 o'clock?
ExactlySo... it's turned to 3 o'clock, I'm running at 100 MHz and on a port with 1.5 A... and it's giving me a reliable
Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
11 o'clock is way too hot. That's like if you wanted to run 350MHz or higher. 3 o'clock and 100MHz should be at or under 1 amp draw.
I haven't touched it. Ever. So, 3 o'clock for 100 MHz, and see what happens?
And more importantly... 3 o'clock, with the USB side being 6 o'clock? As in pointing to the right of the stick, when I have it in front of me with the USB pointing toward me and the cooling block pointing away and on the other side?

And it has ben stable averaging around 3,4 GH/s for the last 12 hours. Do you still suggest that I should turn the potentiometer to 3 o'clock? And as a back-up check, what should it be at for 150 MHz and 1.5 A (or won't I be able to run it at that?
In post#1 is a table as an overview of the current related to frequency and voltage. If you turn your voltage to 1.26 V at 150 MHz it should run with 1.05 A. So that should be enough.Do you hav something to mesaure the voltage? On what position is the flat side of your voltage pot now?
Not the best of pictures http://sv.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=bdwnl3&s=9 and this might be better http://i67.tinypic.com/t54oxv.jpg but I'd say that the flat side is on 11 o'clock with the USB port side as 6 o'clock.

If your pool doesn't give you a network diff of 1.93T, either you're not mining bitcoins or your pool is lying to you.
That screenshot looks about like it's supposed to. I'm going to guess it's a "your hardware sucks" situation. What happens if you run at lower speeds? What hashrates are reported at 50, 75 and 100MHz?

I did a test where I started it at 100 MHz and seemed to lose one third of the output. I presume that means that I got to contact the original seller and make a warranty claim?
Is the device getting really really hot? What is the ambient temp?
Is there a way to check the ambient temp?
Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
I'd suspect your hub before I'd question the stick. Hence why I said "hardware" not "miner". What's your setup?
I'm running the stick on my "normal" rig since I also run my e-mail server out of it and let it mine when I'm afk. The stick was initially positioned in both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, but performed in about the same way. Since yesterday I moved it to a powered UH700 USB hub (max 5 A total, max 1.5 A per port). The stick is the only thing connected to the hub. This resulted in the GH/s being the same, but the stick not slowing down to a crawl over time.
As for the power supply, the hub is having an external power cable and is said to deliver 1.5 A on 3 charging ports. Additionally, it is the only thing plugged into the USB port at this moment.
This isn´t enough for higher frequencies. What is your voltage setting? The potentiometer at the right bottom corner on the backside has a flat side. Turn it to about 3 o´clock. Maybe 2 or 1 o`clock and see if the hashrate is getting stable. Use a frequency setting of 50 MHz for the tests. If it´s a power issue you sould at least get it running with this settings and a current of 1.5 A.My UH700 gives me 5 A at most with normal output on 4 ports and 1.5 A per charging port on 3 specific "charging ports". I thought the stick was supposed to work on that current.

Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
Diff at 1.93T seems very high, have you tried a different pool and see if you get the same results.
My Diff is at 643M, you can try viaBTC or slush and see what happens.

Im halfway to bed now, but I can try tomorrow. Ckpool just seemed like a good option, but Ill shop around and at least teast it elsewhere.
Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
There are only three reasons a 2Pac should run 4GH - either your hardware sucks, you're using the wrong cgminer or you're operating it around 35MHz. Got a screenshot of cgminer with the stick running?

Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
Does it run stable at 4 GH/s? Or is it getting down slowly until it goes zombie?
What power supply does the usb hub have?
What power supply does the usb hub have?
Seems like you could read my mind. Yes, it starts at ~4-5 GH/s and slows down until it goes zombie... like, literally halt at 0 GH/s if you leave it on for "too long". It happened regardless if I had it on a 2.0 or 3.0 USB port, but I used to explain to to myself as the USB port not having enough power to pull better numbers.
As for the power supply, the hub is having an external power cable and is said to deliver 1.5 A on 3 charging ports. Additionally, it is the only thing plugged into the USB port at this moment.
And did you read the first post, and are you using the correct build of cgminer?
I did read the first post, and the only thing I can guess I'm missing out on is the "-p x --suggest-diff 32". However, the instructions didn't have that line listed.
As for build, then I am using the one recommended on the A4 instruction sheet that came with the stick miner.
Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
Hi,
I have had a COMPAC-2 running on a spare USB port, but today I got my hands on a powered USB hub (UH700) and moved it there. However, I'm still only getting ~4 Gh/s when running it at 150 MHz (just like I got on a 2.0 standard USB port).
I'm using cgminer 4.10.0 and my bat-file setting is: cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u wallet.asicpuppycompac --gekko-2pac-freq 150
Do I have to do something as I transferred it to the powered USB hub, do I have the wrong settings or is there something wrong with my COMPAC-2?
Best regards
