General advice for any sales or support thread - read the first post. The guy who set up the thread probably did a bit of work ahead of time lining out the basics. He might have even updated it with pertinent information that came up in subsequent discussion.

Hi there,
for sure you can help, I have bee told !
Does some of you know if the version available here : http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ is compiled and ready to used under W10 ?
also, can you give an exemple of command line ?
Any recommendation to choose a pool ?
Sorry for being a newbie
have a nice day

That's pretty much what they've always been for, learning tools and lottery tickets. I've never disguised the fact these will never pay for themselves - outside of the improbability of a solo block.

Your math sounds about right. With 5 sticks running for two weeks on mmpool, my estimated round payout is .00030723 btc. At BTC's price right now ($4150), my 5 sticks would make roughly $33.15, and would pay for themselves in seven years. LOL ...I'll try solo mining and hope I win the lottery.

Has anyone had any luck mining with these? I've been mining for 2-3 weeks on mmpool and haven't earned anything yet: http://mmpool.org/user/guttermonk
So I tried switching to mining BCC on suprnova for the last week and haven't gotten anything there either.
My miners are running on cgminer at 135MHz with no errors.

You didn't switch them to BCH during the frenzy I guess?
The Bitcoin difficulty is far too high to earn much with these sticks.
time(to find a block in seconds) = difficulty * 2**32 / hashrate (I'll call it 16 GH/s)
time = 923233068449 * 2**32/16000000000
time = 247828489723 s
if you mine on a pool that regularly finds blocks, your share would be based on this number so
12.5(coins) / time = 5.04381X10-11 bitcoins per second
or 4.3579X10-6 per day
or 0.00159 bitcoins per year per 2Pac
You can check my math but it looks about right to me. Really, you should run the 2Pac on a lottery type all-or-nothing pool like solo.ckpool.org - you mine using only your Bitcoin address as a username and
I've been playing for about a month, my best share is 32.5M difficulty but we're looking for 923B for the win...for the next 6 blocks at least and it is set to drop to 888B so our luck will improve shortly!

If your cgminer built, you likely have those libraries. However, that is the first part of the build - you need those before you can do the subsequent steps.
What's your minera log say when you use the custom cgminer? What are the parameters you're passing it? Does the cgminer you built work without minera?

Do I also need this statement:
If yes, can I do this statement after all the other set up statements?

From your minera, did you select the Custom Miner option?
After all the statements above I set up the custom miner and selected the new added custom miner.

Hi,
I followed the Minera 2pac tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQndxAfk-hM
But the 2pac won't be detected and light is white.
The steps I did in minera:
cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin/src
mkdir -p git/vthoang; cd git/vthoang
git clone https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git
cd cgminer
CFLAGS="-O2" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko
make -j 2
cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/cgminer-vthoang
cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom
Did I miss anything?
Bye Moe

I get is what you were helping with, just need to expand your writeup in comparison with what is in the OP, in my opinion.
August 22, 2017, 12:12:00 PM
Sorry - maybe I'm rusty on my linux.
I was trying to create a subfolder for the user to add the cgminer they build into. I can edit out my change. (I see that I should've also made it so the checkout goes to the 2pac folder, but looking at my minera, its not an issue.)

You need to install the vh version of cgminer as a custom miner into Minera.
SSH into your Minera Pi, and follow the steps for "Raspbian - Kernel version: 4.4 (Raspberry Pi)".
I would add two more steps between the instructions to make sure you have your custom miner in the right place.

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev screen libtool automake pkg-config libjansson-dev
mkdir 2pac
cd 2pac
mkdir -p git/vthoang; cd git/vthoang
mkdir 2pac
cd 2pac
mkdir -p git/vthoang; cd git/vthoang
Once those are done, you should have a folder called cgminer under the 2pac folder you made.
In that folder, copy the cgminer binary to /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/
It'll then show up in Minera as a custom miner.

your addition (as written now) would only confuse as your inserted syntax does not relate to what is below it in any way.

Interestingly enough, the first search result for "pod" is this thread.
August 22, 2017, 11:16:31 AM
@sidehack
can you give a link to the "news on pod miners"?
also, what is a pod? I saw it mentioned on another thread.

Hello guys, I need some help as i just got started into bitcoin mining as a hobby (with a GekkoScience 2 Pac miner).
I had setup a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, running the latest version of Minera based on the youtube guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQndxAfk-hM . The initial setup of Minera is fine, however Minera is unable to detect the miner and the hashing speed is 0. The miner is a steady bright white colour, and Minera log is as follows:
Appreciate if someone could help, thanks!

Solid white light usually means there's a problem. Compile the proper cgminer as instructed in the 1st post and if it detects the device but doesn't mine with it, you might have to contact the seller for warranty replacement.
Any news on the pod miners?
Yeah, in the "news on pod miners" thread. This is the stickminer support thread.
