I just received several R1s from HolyBitcoin (great service, fast shipping BTW... holybitcoin.com <-- recommend)
I was able to set everything up on the unit I'm keeping for myself with no problems, except I can't get it to run my Gekko (compac) USB miners. I have 4 in total, but I'm trying to just get one working through a non-powered hub.
The compac stick was recognized for a short time...it flashed as it should when working and showed up in the R1 U3 Status page. It even created a worker on both antpool and f2pool, but then it just stops after a minute or two. I tried it at the default frequency on R1 and at max the firmware allows (218.5?). Adding power to the hub did nothing.
I see others are using the R1 as a compac stick controller...
1) You think CrazyGuy's firmware update might just make the problem go away?
2) Can anyone using R1/Gekko weigh in with any ideas as to why I get recognition, then "gone"?
Thanks!
