Question:
I have a geekscience 2pac usb running cgminer on a windows 10 laptop using Slushpool.
Everything is working fine.
However the clock speed is 100(by default) and I want to increase this.
How is this done?
When I run cgminer the black window pops up and says url
then I type
stratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333
then
username.worker
then
password
where would i type the clock speed? or is it done on the slushpool website?

First you have to ask yourself if you're running a Compac or a 2Pac. If you're running a Compac, try the search. If a 2Pac, there is no BFG support.

anyone know how to have this working with bfgminer?
i've installed the USB Serial (CDC) driver with zadig
it registers as a COM3 in device manager
when i run bfgminer i tried to add device using \\.\COM3
i get error
[2017-10-25 16:08:22] Failed to sanity check in lowl-vcom.c windows_usb_get_string():508
[2017-10-25 16:08:22] \\.\COM3: SetCommConfig failed: A device attached to the system is not functioning.
any ideas?

hello everyone, there is an option to configure on "cgminer" to control the 2PAC temperature?
This is the compac support thread, not the 2pac. Second, if you want to control the temperature, you run it at lower clock speeds. If you want the temperature high, you run it at higher clock speeds. The USB stick doesn't have built active cooling, so you can't really adjust it like you could if it had a fan built in.

Firstly, and secondly, and thirdly -
Fourth of all, there's also no reason to run around profanely insulting people who are giving you quite frank but entirely accurate advice. You f***ing hate people like that on support forumes, but we f***ing hate people like you as customers, which is why I no longer do direct sales of these things. Tired of dealing with jackasses.
Here, let me spell it out for you. By quoting some replies about six inches above what you just posted. Because apparently people can't read anymore.
Try on this message thread:

Because you're running a 2Pac.
I think at this point I'll just stop telling people that, if you're running a 2Pac, you want to check out the 2Pac support thread.
I'm having troubles getting the 2Pac Stick to work.

First off, it looks like you need the 2Pac support thread since you're running a 2Pac.
My first piece of advice would be to check in the 2Pac support thread, since you're running 2Pacs.
I would recommend abandoning this thread and looking elsewhere.
Specifically, the 2Pac support thread.
The software discussed in this thread is two years old. The 2Pac thread is fresh, and includes both a new build of cgminer and a completely rewritten driver that also supports the Compac and does it better than this one ever did.

Advice step number 1 - go read the first post of the 2Pac support thread as referenced above.
It'll point you toward better software. That'll probably help.

OK I ask for help and you try and bitch me out, would you not consider the page 1 opening post to be a manual (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gekkoscience-compac-bm1384-stickminer-official-support-thread-1173963). You fuck face, try harder. I fucking hate people like you in so-called support forums.
What does your cgminer screen look like? Post a screen shot so we can see. Do you have a Compac (and not a 2Pac)?

OK will do thanks for the useful suggestion, and thanks for trying to help. I figured it out. There was a cap touching a resistor near chip 51219 (5v reg?) and one of the diodes was leaky, basically a bad build. And yes it's a 2pac, sorry to no be clear on that
Update: pin 2 of the resistor actually does go to ground according to the schematics, so the bridged cap/res doesn't matter, if the chip is being used as per standard usage.

OK, I am in agony with this device. I have tried the latest BFGminer and the latest cgminer with os x and linux using various routers and I still can not get this stick to hash more than 542.3Mh/s average!
I have made sure that the device is powered by a 5v, 2 amp supply, I have tried EVERY variation of core voltage in EVERY miner currently available and I have read every word of the manual, but still this miner is just slow as sh*t.
I believe the default clock speed is 150 so I have not messed with that, I just want standard hashing speed of 10-15g.
Do I have a defective miner? My previous experience is with antminer S1 and bit fury asic miners using cgminer, I'm no expert but after 12 hours of work I think nothing should be this hard.
Is there any way someone can help me? Let me know what info you need.
PS I am cooling with an Arctic breeze USB fan, which has always served me well.
um, these things don't do 10-15g on default speed.. i think the default speed is 100? and it will be 5.5g.. 150 will give you 8g. you will need to clock these well past 250 to get 15g out of them.I have made sure that the device is powered by a 5v, 2 amp supply, I have tried EVERY variation of core voltage in EVERY miner currently available and I have read every word of the manual, but still this miner is just slow as sh*t.

you claim to have read the manual? There isn't one. The only version of software your going to get to work is VH's fork of CGMiner. Go back to page ONE and start reading again.

someone please help I have been mining with my 4 2pacs and now when i open the same exact cgminer.bat it just sits at the cmd prompt and says this. [2017-10-05 15:45:27.057] Started cgminer 4.10.0
thats it. it doesn't load the pacs or do anything else. Not sure why its not working today. It has been working for about a week. My pc still sees the sticks. but nothing, any ideas? I have already deleted the cgminer and unzipped the same folder and tried to run it with the same results. Reset the pc. same thing.

right now with current overclocks at 268.75MHz im seeing about 71GH/s as for power i pay .10
i change between BCC and multipool's on these
no they dont make much but there fun little things to tinker with

i use 5 of these to mine on multipool and granted they do not bring in alot but i do have fun with them ... there all overclocked also
Let's say you are close to 40 GH / s. How much would be the minimum to make it profitable?
That would depend on how much you paid for the miners to begin with. Then you'd have to know how much you would earn per day and then divide the cost of the miners plus the cost of the electricity to run the miners (if you even care about that) by the earnings per day. That will give you the number of days until you break even. After that point it's all profit.
Right now it looks like you would earn about 0.01 USD per day assuming 40 GH/s, 10 watts power usage, and 0.12 USD/Watt of electricity with the current price and difficulty of Bitcoin.
