Re: GekkoScience has a new stickminer that does 300+GH

Does this version (Cgminer 4.12) not support local solo mining?  (i.e. CHTA or NENG)

NENG is script not SHA-256 so won't be able to run on that coin.

Currently with CHTA I've only been able to have it running when pointing towards a pool, haven't been able to get it solo mining yet - so am another from the CHTA community patiently waiting for the future update which would hopefully allow this!

Make sure port 8333 is forwarded on your router, that will allow you to get more connections

Yep I've got that port open, have even added 18333 to see if that made any difference, but it never rises above 10 connections to the node unfortunately.

Does anyone have any suggestions for speeding up the node syncing at all? I had it at first going over WiFi, and it only ever had 10 connections running, and was very very slow. I've now moved it to be connected via an ethernet cable and it is still only reaching 10 connections on the node to sync. It's been running for about 3 days now and is only still at 77% complete, and climbing slower and slower with the more blocks it pulls in. My connection here is fast, but this syncing is slower than I'd expected.

Any ideas, or is it just a case of waiting it out and hoping it makes more than 10 connections with more time?

Hello, I don't mean to be pestering...but any eta on when a copy of the image will be uploaded? As of now, I can't use my device at all...until I can re-flash it. I'd appreciate any update/help.

Thanks!

+1 same situation here, without an image to reflash my unit is sat unable to do anything. Any estimate ETA at all?

Received today all setup but the dashboard shows the miner is inactive with no stats/ power info etc but it is mining successfully as it shows on my pool with hashrate any ideas please?


I've got I think the same issue - with the unit connected directly to a monitor I can see the stats fully on the screen. However if I use another PC and connect over the network, then the dashboard loads and sends commands fine, but displays no metrics and looks as if it is inactive.

This is a known issue, trying to pinpoint what’s causing it since I can’t reproduce on my end. Shoot us an email if your having this issue so you can send us some logs. Could be pool specific that’s returning some weird data and breaking out json parser for front end.

I'm another one who needs the image to continue now, cannot access the unit once again. As soon as the image is finally released and I can access the unit once reflashed, I'll see if the issue still remains and send the logs over etc if it's there.
