Not sure if this is normal, but they eventually go OFF on cgminer.

After searching around I found GekkoScience Terminus R808 Miner Official Support Thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3009183.120
I see no posts there about OFF condition. Try posting there for a response. Good Luck

These have been shipping for less than a week and people are already reselling them on eBay.
Cool!!! I bid on one. Didn't win Sad I will have to wait for my place in the queue.

I ended up using multipool.us

I visited the mulitpool.us site, and right there, on the left, is something that leaves me out Sad

Mutlipool.us has not applied for New York's "BitLicense". Accordingly, as of August 10, 2015, we must cease doing business with persons residing in the State of New York.

Can someone point me a document?

Thanks in advance...

Assuming your using cgminer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764803.1240

btw: just hot plug the next one in Cheesy

If you add a different type of ASIC you will probably have to recompile cgminer with another --enable-...
So it is best to keep both the compile and execution commands in executable scripts

are you doing this to keep your pi cool, or is it for your 2pacs? My artic breeze USB fan is doing a wonderful job keeping my miners cool, but I have no fan on my pi.  Could it be that my pi is overheating?

I thought the same thing and opened up the case for my Pi and placed it where airflow was better. I didn't make any difference. I would try it though never hurts.

Which Raspberry Pi version? Which powered usb 2.0 hub are you using? How many amps on the usb hub, that the 2Pac is plugged into?

The temp is on the RaspiB, part of Raspian. I had the habit of opening several browser tabs, and leaving for the day, RaspiB would be down when I got home. Then I saw that just starting the browser, pulling in all those animated advertisements etc. Raised the RaspiB temp right away. So I now check my daily sites and close the browser. Temp drops back down, and cgminer is still running when I get back twelve hours later.

I'm running a GS2 and a NF2 on the same powered usb 2 hub with peripherals and memory. Followed advise printed by sidehack and -cv for cgminer. Raspi B kept halting, but I put the temp widget on the screen and added fans. A Vornado clip on, and a 2nd clip on, above, pushing, and a desk fan pulling, and now the temp doesn't go up to the 58 plus range anymore, stays in the low 40s( F ).  Has not locked up for several days.  Note: not USB fans.  I was ready to buy a Vornado desk fan to push, but things seem real stable.
