hey all,

running into a small problem here

using cgminer, got zadig, it recognizes the device, but everytime i try and run it i get this:

Input server details. URL: ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRyb RJK7ybEm5m5HwTr --compac-freq 150 Username: 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr Password [enter for none]: [2015-09-10 23:47:42.715] Failed to resolve (?wrong URL) ./cgminer -o stratum+t cp: URL stratum+tcp://./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1 BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr --compac-freq 150 failed alive testing, reinpu t details URL:

could it be my network?

I never had to do -p x, it's optional.

That is the error it gives when it fails to resolve a URL- or if you don't tell it a pool- but reading this I think the problem is that you're inputting the entire command when it only asks for a url. Don't, you can give it the URL later but do not give anything but the URL. I've never launched it quite like that but what you should input is clearly either:

"stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334"

or

"stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334"

If you want to run the whole thing from the command line on windows without it asking for details try typing this in FROM THE COMMAND LINE, this will start cgminer already set up to mine, it won't have to ask details:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRyb RJK7ybEm5m5HwTr --compac-freq 150

(except put in your pool details)

novak

alright, i got it working:

my problem turned out to be twofold:

I was inputting the URL incorrectly as you mentioned, and the device was not being recognized because i erroneously believed i had installed the winusb drivers, when i only had done so my 1 other stick.

In case it wasn't clear from my post, I am using BFGMiner.

In that case: --set-device compac:clock=x####? As sidehack just mentioned, do make sure you've got the latest version.

The Compac looks like a U3 to cgminer, which would be a problem if he was using cgminer. He's using bfgminer. If you're not using BFG 5.3 it shouldn't recognize the Compac at all. Luke-Jr will have to answer questions regarding why it would be detected as an AntMiner. Might be a remnant of the same detection scenario, in which case you should specify your AntMiner devices in the one instance instead of going general.

One problem you're having is "compaq" has nothing to do with bitcoin mining. I don't know if that's the entire problem but it's surely part of it.

That's my fairly insensitive way of telling you to check your spelling.

Is there a way to distinguish the U1/U2 from stickminer, so I can put in different clock commands for each?

To the base cgminer it appears as a U3 at this time, so the frequency setting should already only apply to the Compac.

I recommend grabbing the custom cgminer build that actually recognizes the stick as a Compac, though. See first post for more information. Alternatively, try using bfgminer.

How can I run these and some old U1's at the same time?

I need to be able to set the u1 clock's and the compaq ones.

I was running this: ./bfgminer -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981 -o stratum+tcp://peercoin.ecoining.com:3336/#skipcbcheck -u blackbird.1 -p 12345 --failover-only --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://us.d7.lt:3333 -u blackbird.1 -p 12345

But it looks up the compaq's as well. Shouldn't the -S antminer:all command tell it to only pick up the antminers?

I was hoping I could run two instances, with each one looking like this:

./bfgminer -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981 -o stratum+tcp://peercoin.ecoining.com:3336/#skipcbcheck -u blackbird.1 -p 12345 --failover-only --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://us.d7.lt:3333 -u blackbird.1 -p 12345

./bfgminer -S compaq:all --set-device compac:clock=x0b83 -o stratum+tcp://peercoin.ecoining.com:3336/#skipcbcheck -u blackbird.2 -p 12345 --failover-only --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://us.d7.lt:3333 -u blackbird.2 -p 12345

That doesn't work, however. It doesn't detect the compaq devices in the compaq instance.

IIRC the stickminer looks like an antminer U3 to cgminer, that's why it's picking up all of the miners under -S antminer:all.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

not sure if this is just my setup or not.

HTPC with vista32 ultimate that previously ran cgminer with various hardware.

when I ran novaks build of cgminer, it initially complained that zlib1.dll was missing. copied zlib1.dll out of an old cgminer to the novak cgminer folder and it then fired up.

normally cgminer comes with that file.

It's also worth noting that the command supplied is an EXAMPLE. As written, it will actually mine on behalf of sidehack/novak. While that isn't a bad thing, you just should know.

What are you punching that into? For one, the dot-slash is a Linux thing, don't need it on Windows. For another, if it's just wanting pool URL, all it needs is the stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 portion. Looks like you're trying to feed the entire command line into an already running process?

I'm not familiar with Windows and zadig, but you might try putting the - p x after the user name and before --compac-freq 150 any ways

Don't need the password, but windows???

I got porn in the mail today Shocked

Sticks came, all I did was try them out for about 5 minutes.

Still got some tweaking to do on Raspbian/Pi, do a little tweaking to the sticks, add more power to a different hub (don't want to burn out the good one in the pic, even-though it will do a total of 10A between the 7 ports (plus the ports are on the side, so would have to figure out a way to mount it on end securely)) and setup a fan.

Thanks sidehack and novak

Waiting on 4 Sticks. Will this work to power them?
http://amzn.to/1JYN9m2

Yes - it's the same product as sold by Eyeboot directly: http://www.eyeboot.com/10-port-usb-hub

Do note that very high clock speeds require a greater current supply per port than this hub can provide - so decide in advance whether you want to run them safe and 'slow' or on the edge and fast.

http://amzn.to/1JYN9m2

10 Front facing Standard A USB ports
0.5 - 2A per port with 17mm port spacing
Upstream port support high speed (480M)
Box includes 1 x USB hub, 1 x 12V 5A Power Adapter, 1 x USB cable

Yeah, it would work quite well, actually. 17mm is plenty of room and even if you had a 10W fan you'd have 12W per stick which should let you hit 400MHz.

If you don't want to use a fan I recommend clocking nearer to 150MHz.
