So it turns out that I shouldn't have spoken so soon. I only managed to get it working for a short time. Now cgminer is failing to detect any of the chips on the Terminus. My log file reads as follows:

And so on and so on...

I'm using the most recently posted build of cgminer, and I have tried reinstalling and troubleshooting the Zadig drivers. Any suggestions?

I'm honored!

Also, I solved the issue. Turns out that (maybe just with my particular setup) the Terminus really dislikes USB 3.0 ports. I tried 3.0 ports both on the case and mobo and it always seemed to be capped out at hashing about 10GH regardless of the frequency or V. However, when I plugged it into one of the mobo 2.0 ports it immediately began hashing about 75GH at 175Mhz - right where it should be.

Hi sidehack,

No, no reseller. Direct from you. I didn't realize it was set to full V out-of-the-box.

Yeah, I'm using the latest Windows build that was posted on 2/27. It is detecting all 8 chips.

Good evening all!

I wanted to see if anyone might be able to help me out with what I think is an issue with my pod (or maybe an issue with how I have it setup). I received it a few days ago, and I have not been able to get it to hash at anywhere near what it should be able to do. The most I have been able to get out of it running at 175Mhz and stock V is an average of about 10GH. I have tried to adjust both the frequency and V across the board but nothing seems to work. I feel like I must be doing something wrong. Also, anytime I adjust the V above stock, it Zombies on me. I am controlling it with a Win10 PC, and providing power through a VGA cable off of my 800w PSU. I know that's not a lot to go off of, but I would appreciate any help!

I like the idea of the 6-pin PCIE. That way I can just run a couple of the extra PCIE power cables from my tower PSU out the back and not have to buy a new power supply. My PSU has power to spare.

That's very good news indeed!

I'm most certainly interested in one (or three!) I've already got a fan mount printed up to try out.

That's great news. Please keep the updates coming!

But even when you are only running a single stick or two!? It seems that even if you were running them at 1.5V and 200Mhz most of the more powerful USB hubs should, in theory, be able to handle two sticks easily (~1.8A each). As I was running them yesterday, they should have only been drawing something like 0.75 Amps each, which should have been no problem. I mean, my phone draws more power than that.

I've got one more hub to try. This one says it will support 2.5A per port, or a max of 14A. If this doesn't work then I don't know what to do.

So, I got my new USB hub in and gave it a shot over the last few days (Anker 13 port 12V/5A). No dice. I'm fairly convinced it's not a power issue anymore as yesterday I ran cgminer with only two sticks in my USB hub, after setting both of them to the lowest power setting I could without them giving me hardware errors and running them at only freq 100. Even so, I can only get them to run for about 2-3 hours, after which one of the sticks goes ZOMBIE, which then cascades to all the sticks except one (when using more than 2). This is what it looks like in cgminer:

You can see from the image that cgminer keeps trying to reinitialize the stick, but just fails over and over and over. In this case 5,222 times (I was gone all afternoon). Any ideas?

Yeah, I took a look at that article just before I posted here. I'm not sure of the internal layout, but I have tried just about every combination of sticks/ports to see if that was the issue. I even tried running one stick from one hub and one stick from another and running one stick from the hub and one from my PC. I get the same thing every time. I do have another hub coming in today. I am going to try it and see if maybe it will work, but then I'm fresh out of ideas.

I've tried on an Anker 10-port 60W 3.0 hub (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VDVCQ84/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and on an Anker 7-port 2.0 hub (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R5ZA20G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

But I've also tried just plugging two into my computer directly and I have the same issue.

Hello everyone, newbie here.

I was wondering if anyone else was having issues with cgminer looping the "GSD X failure, disabling!" indefinitely when you try to run more than one 2Pac. I have been able to get up to 2 running simultaneously by plugging them in sequentially while cgminer is running, but any more than that and it ZOMBIEs the last one I plugged in and gives me the "failure" message over and over as it tries to find successive sticks.

Anyone seen this and/or figured out a cure? I would like to get more than one stick running at time!

Just for reference:
- I followed the instructions in this post to compile my own build (Windows) so it's current (and works just fine with the single stick)
- My USB hub is externally powered and I have tried multiple hubs and configurations - I don't think it's a power issue
- I've tried running each stick individually, so it's not a bad stick

Any help would be appreciated!
