I did setup a miner with them but when I started looking at the overall gains for 12 hours, it seemed like NH was giving me more. The biggest problem with NH is they tend to set the difficulty way up there so it takes awhile for a share of mine to be accepted. ZPool was accepting plenty of hashes but the payout seemed low. I don't know.... Maybe I'm just not giving it long enough???

it depends on the market.. today NH is paying right at .00122 and zpool is at .0019...

NH has 3% fee and zpool is 2%..

you can keep track of the pools here
http://poolpicker.eu/table?algo=sha-256

keep in mind, yesterdays payout is not guaranteed to be todays payout..

but you can clearly see NH is usually on the bottom of those pools.

zpool and nh you can set the diff with a d= in the password.

you can try d=128 or d=64

If anyone has any programming skills, could I request that someone compile CGminer to include the #xnsub function as well in a build that has the Gekko drivers?

I have zero programming skills or I'd just do it and post it myself.

Thanks in advance.

i dont think xnsub will help you much with these..

if you are mining on NH, try zpool. it pays more.

Well if the seller doesn't stand by it, at least the manufacturer will. Send it in and I'll fix it.

You're the best. I'm in contact with the seller at the moment, trying to figure out his setup so i can perhaps copy it.

Thanks for everything!

Nah it wasn't, I've gotten it second hand off the net.

Or contact the person you bought it from. Hopefully it was a reputable seller with a warranty. If it was a disreputable seller without a warranty let me know.

Hard reset, like unplug/replug?

I think the kind of troubleshooting you'll need to track down the current issue requires some electronics skills and possibly an oscilloscope.

It has only been solid white, and at the time it had a succesfull hash it flickered green. Hmm, anyway to troubleshoot that? I was also wondering if there is a way to hard reset the device in a way?

Thanks for the help!

So you probably noticed about three days ago that, if the LED is solid white instead of solid green with occasional white flashes, there's likely something wrong with the IO lines between the ASIC and CP2102 so one of those two chips is probably not working as expected and that's why you're getting no reported hashes and a reset every ten seconds.

Yup, I have been searching and trying for 3 days straight before posting Cheesy

I'm assuming you've tried searching this thread for the symptoms you're seeing, in order to find possible explanations?

Ofcourse I did, still the same result.

No, I've been avoiding that one so far. Power limit is about 1.1A, would that be enough? I'm currently trying to hash around 150MHZ - 200MHZ and restarting throughout the day, but still i'm getting no response..

Cheers.

you try plugging it into the computer without the hub? a reg usb port should be good for 150M

I'm currently using this one https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Information-SuperSpeed-USB-TS-HUB3K/dp/B005D69QD8 with only one stickminer attached. I wanted the anker one as well but couldn't get it in my region.

Cheers.

do you have it plugged into the fast charging port??

it doesnt say what the other ports power limit is.. the fast charging one, with the lightning bolt, might not work with the usb stick.. those are made for iphones and ipads..

the other ones might only do .9 amps... so you would be limited to 225 @ 650mv

Hello guys,

Rescently i've obtained my Compac stick, and ever since i have not gotten it to work up to satisfaction. Here's what I've tried.

- Running it on Windows, Ubuntu, Raspbian and Minibian without luck.
- Running all the clock speeds
- Running all voltage settings, at the moment i'm approximately on 7,8v
- Suggesting different difficulties with the --suggest-diff flag
- Mining on different pools (Slush's, BCMonster and Bitminter)

The white and purple light are constantly illuminated, but the stick does get warm. I have gotten it to hash on the windows machine, but after 10 or so seconds it stopped and just gave me the LIBUSB_SUCCESS message again.

Could anyone give me a pointer on what to try next, or is my stick just dead?

I can provide logs later if anyone is interested.

Cheers.

how many and what hub are you using?

i have 5 of them on an anker 10 port 60w hub running at .650mv @ 225.. unfortunately this is right at .98A and any more then that makes the hub reboot.

this hub
