Can't help you there, don't use wifi or Windows firewall or whichever you got there. Glad the cgminer-gekko is working though.
But judging from the screengrab it looks like you're connected to the pool alright, but the stick isn't hashing. Did the LED flash white at all? Try unplug and replug while cgminer is running.

Hi,
I figured that thanks to your answers! Thank you guys.
Actually it was zlib1.dll like on page 17 & 18 in this thread pointed out. Yeah I did read all of this.
I copied it into the cgminer win32 gekko editon folder and was rewarded with a found usb miner.
Now I need to route my traffic to my wifi as this is the only way to bypass the firewall. So I did:
which looked fine. But it is not. Somehow it will not start mining. Am I missing some ports, wrong command line? Any other reason for why no data is received???

Take it from any stock cgminer Win32 archive and copy it into the cgminer-gekko folder.
September 01, 2016, 08:03:59 AM
Hi,
yes I did. Exact same message. The stick shows its green light. Thats it. After a while cgminer crashes/vanishes. No output in cmd to see.
Any idea what could be wrong? Any logfiles I could provide?
About that zlib.dll. Take it from where and copy it into the cgminer win32 folder?
I am willing to try anything. Of course.
Thankful for any help!

Also I wonder if the reason the Win32 cgminer-gekko crashes is the missing zlib.dll
September 01, 2016, 07:54:35 AM
Did you try inserting the sticks after miner has started?
Great answer !
Also, bfgminer doesn't need zadig drivers, only cgminer does

Hi,
I do have a big problem getting the bitshoper GekkoScience compact running on either bfgminer or cgmier. OS is Windows 8.1 64 bit, so I can not use the windows32 binaries novak provided. They just crash :-)
Please help me out here, as I am out of options.
So I try cgminer:
cgminer Version 64 bit 4.92
result is:
However hitting any key has no effect.
Bfgminer
Bfgminer version 5.4.2
However I can not hit any key. It has no effect.
Zadig Driver is properly installed and device is in device manager shown as:
Compac BM1384 Bitcoin Miner
Any ideas?

They cost $25 new if you bought direct from the manufacturer; the majority of purchases were through a reseller.
Try emailing ASICPuppy service or PM forum user CrazyGuy. Maybe he already sold out of the whole box he just received, or maybe he hasn't updated the listing.

I have a few extras I'm letting go of. They work just fine and are clean. Shouldn't cost much for shipping. I'll let them go at 40 per stick.
Let me know if you're interested.
Wow, so my sticks have actually appreciated in value? Weren't they only $20 each brand new? Make more money reselling the sticks than would ever be possible to earn with them mining, heh. Although I have 3 mining dust with "free" electricity, so I consider myself coming out ahead with those. Let me know if you're interested.

Okay! That actually worked. However, I ran into a new problem. The driver being displayed is the Silabser (v6.7.0.0) because I'm also currently running MoonLander USB scrypt miners. When I go and install the Win USB driver it tells me that it want's to replace the silabser driver. So I ask it to 'Install WCID Driver' Instead of 'Replace Driver' I get an error saying 'Driver installation failed (Other error)'.
when the compac is selected, instead of the winusb driver can you select the zadig diver in the box? might have to scroll it.
For the zlib driver extract it from another version of cgminer and put it in the gekko modded version folder.
It won't let me select a zadig driver in the box. Scrolled through all the options.
As for extracting the zlib.dll file from another version of CG miner, I tried that also. Started up CG miner and got a device error. Is there a particular version of CG miner that I should try using?

Hello,
I just got my first GekkoScience USB miner. I'm trying to run it on a windows machine but I cannot figure out how to install the Zadig driver for cgminer. The only version that I was able to run on my PC is zadig_xp_v2.0.1.161.exe. Can someone please help and give me a few steps? Thanks in advance.

Find out what version of Windows you are running then use the correct one. There is plenty of info in this thread and most of it on the front page. Also Google and YouTube have a vast array of knowledge (that's where I learnt about zadig)
I'm running windows 10 and neither Zadig driver either recognizes a devices or runs on my system. Is there another version that works specifically with windows 10?
Did you go into options on the top and "list all devices" and see if compac is in there.. select in the install driver.. worked for me...

So I ask it to 'Install WCID Driver' Instead of 'Replace Driver' I get an error saying 'Driver installation failed (Other error)'.
1. Will windows allow me to run two separate drivers? If so how can I install the Zadig Driver specifically for the Gekko?
2. The other error I get when I try to run CGMiner is that I'm missing the zlib1.dll. I'm asking to confirm that this is tied to the Zadig driver yes? Could I run the Gekko from a mac OS? As I may not be able to run these two types of devices from the same PC.
3. I also tried extracting the files to a folder and running the installer_x64.exe file located in the root folder. Something seems to have happened but I still can't get CGminer to find the zlib1.dll file. What could I be missing here?
