I used this tool: https://github.com/2miners/stratum-ping/
Don't know why this shows such values.

The program's output is useless since it is giving you information unrelated to the mining performance.
It uses the time to connect to the pool to decide how the pool performs, which is completely incorrect.
https://github.com/2miners/stratum-ping/issues/19

Okay that's interesting!
Thanks for the clarification.

Well, I finally get my Solo Mining setup working. I put a 120mm fan in front of the Compact F and now its very cool (about 42°C). Didn't thought that would affect cooling that much. Without cooling at 200Mhz it's to hot to even touch the heatsink. Now it's running at 400Mhz. Maybe I go a little bit higher the next days.

But now I've found another problem with my setup. the latency to kanopool is quite high. As I'm from Germany, I use the server in the Netherlands. So I started some ping tests:
Code:
maik@ubuntuserver:~$ ./stratum-ping us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333
...
avg 109.028696ms

maik@ubuntuserver:~$ ./stratum-ping sha256.eu.nicehash.com:3334
...
avg 25.584321ms

maik@ubuntuserver:~$ ./stratum-ping stratum.antpool.com:3333
...

maik@ubuntuserver:~$ ./stratum-ping solo.ckpool.org:3333

Maybe it would be better to mine with my own bitcoin node? But my node is bitcoin core 22.0 wich doesn't work with cgminer  Undecided
Which bitcoin node version uses kanopool?

Um, you must be doing something terribly wrong with your internet or there's something wrong with the program you are using to test.
If you are using a VPN or Tor or other similar delay on your data, then that's a really bad idea and the cause of your terrible latency,
and on top of that, your ping values are meaningless since they will change regularly when using such connections.
If this is the case, then yes please don't mine on KanoPool with those added delays.

From the German (frankfurt) node to the Netherlands (amsterdam) node in only a 7ms ping.
Again, if you are getting a 246ms average ping, then you are doing something terribly wrong with your internet.

I tested again with normal ping in cmdline and it shows avg. 12ms to kano.is. with the stratum ping tool it shows 140ms. so there is something wrong with this tool obviously.
I have a FTTH connection and using it without a VPN or Tor so this should be good. cgminer is running in a ubuntu VM on my home server.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement voltage adjustment screw for one of these?  I was messing with the one unit that has given me troubles and broke it.  Not sure what I did but was having troubles with adjusting it so I grabbed a needle nose and well broke it.  I am comfortable soldering a new one on or looking for someone local to do it.  I just need to purchase a new one and I have no idea how to look it up.

Thanks

I think it's an SMD potentiometer. But you have to know the resistor value...

also irgendwie hab ich es wieder hinbekommen. hab cgminer komplett neu installiert. den Compact f mehrmals neu eingesteckt und neugestartet. rechte gesetzt usw. keine Ahnung was jetzt genau das Problem war.

Hi,

ich versteh gerade gar nix mehr. Nach einem Neustart meines Servers (VM) läuft cgminer nicht mehr richtig. Ich hatte den so eingerichtet, dass er über screen automatisch im Hintergrund startet

Code:
screen -dmS cgminer cgminer

Das lief bisher auch einwandfrei.
Jetzt hatte ich zusätzlich ein bisschen mit bfgminer rumprobiert und nach einem Neustart meldet cgminer immer "... you don't have privilege to access". Sprich er kann nicht mehr auf den Compac F zugreifen. starte ich allerdings cgminer manuell in der shell mit sudo klappt alles.

Ich hab die Rechte nochmal gesetzt aber das klappt trotzdem nicht mehr
Code:
sudo usermod -G plugdev -a username
sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo reboot

Jemand eine Idee was da los ist?

why is cgminer decreasing core speed? I setup 450 MHz last evening and today it's only 360 MHz

cgminer will automatically reduce the frequency if the asic miner plateaus in order to protect it. This usually happens due to overheating or low voltage.

One of my miners gets adjusted on a regular basis and I've spent a lot of time trying to get it to stay at 400. All the others stay at 400 just fine. I've had them all at 400 before, but it just comes down to how much you want to troubleshoot.

Nice, 42°C sounds pretty good. How / where are you measuring if I may ask?

I measured with an IR thermometer gun on the backside of the Compac F where the chip is soldered. Maybe the Chip itself will be a little higher...

is it okay to run the compass f with 200Mhz without a cooling fan? I tried it but it gets very hot. What is the maximum recommended working temperature for it?

Hi,

I try solo mining to my own bitcoin node (v22.0). I installed the latest version of cgminer to mine with the gekkoscience compac f but get an error message from cgminer:

Code:
Pool 0 JSON failed to decode GBT

so I tried to find out why. It seem that cgminer doesn't work with this bitcoin core version. Is there any development in this case?

@100knot2dae modified cgminer to get this working:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5322315.msg56584362#msg56584362

Is this a safe way for mining to my own bitcoin node?
