PLEASE HELP...!
I just bought GekkoScience NewPac Stickminer and I received a new shipment.
I tried running GekkoScience NewPac Stickminer as directed by registering on ckpool.org, downloading the driver and installing it on my PC.
But at the stage to run with cgminer, it turns out that GekkoScience NewPac Stickminer has no signs of running. Mining is only written on the screen "[2019-01-30 10: 27: 25,340] Started cgminer 4.11.1" I wait a while, after that the screen becomes empty, and exit.
Ask what exactly I need to do ... How to solve the problem?

Go to the first post and scroll down to the OSX section.

@Cipto1758
Add an externally powered hub to your setup.  
OSX might also disable the device if it notices it's drawing an unusual amount of power.

The first post should have a pretty comprehensive instructions for installing cgminer, and then the same startup string will work.

ok , have solved with the right string:

Code:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu-bch.ss.btc.com:1800 -u Elbaxxxxxx -p 123 --gekko-newpac-freq 175 --suggest-diff 128

this works in windows 10 -64 bit.     action range : 35-48 ghs

I would like to know how to operate my Gekko new PAC in mac osx (I have mac osx high sierra).

Why was the pool showing as dead on cgminer when I used your info the other day then (as can be seen in screenshot on my post)? Perhaps the AsicBoost was not allowing me to connect, which is my best guess.

Find out in a bit if I can mine on that pool with AB disabled, and will be sure that's what it is..

pretty sure that is the issue  cant use asic boost on mmpool

If you think there's a problem with the device, you should contact the seller you bought it from.

Is My NewPac BM1387 Miner Damaged?
I just tried using the NewPac BM1387 Miner in 1 day. more precisely, it only uses around 10 hours with an average yield of 23 GH / s, and I turn it off.
To the next day I want to re-mine with the NewPac BM1387 but it doesn't work, the indicator lights that normally turn on when mining is running now don't turn on again, and the cgminer application doesn't work ...
what's the solution..? Please help and can I get the replacement?
I run mining using MacBook Air Laptops, I connect the NewPac BM1387 device on a Macbook without an additional shield (hub) ..

@rockmoney
they are not an asic  boost pool

@vh
3333 does allow for 65k
3334 does allow for 1000000

I will try using  --suggest-diff 128

it worked with 128
i bumped it to 512 and it is working thank you.

final bump to 1024 and it works.   sooo  

 --suggest-diff 1024  seems fine

run the test_mining.bat file that is included in the directory.

if it doesn't start mining, reread the first post for possible missed steps and then post the error here.

if it starts mining, make a copy of it and adjust it a little at a time until it does what you need.

if there is a problem while changing it, reset to the original file to find what causes it to stop running.

40GH is not an overclock for the NewPac, as the stock speed is 45GH. Are you sure you're using a NewPac?

If cgminer fails to start with the --gekko-newpac-freq flag, are you sure you're using the correct build?

When you say "does not start", what's the actual error message you're seeing?

The syntax you need to add is

--gekko-newpac-freq 175

The 175 being the clock speed, so just alter that in 25MHz increments.... ie --gekko-newpac-freq 200 to get your desired speed

Typically pools won't have stats for your miner unless you send a share that is accepted.
The pool's default diff is 1M.   Waiting for that 1M share makes it look like you're not mining.

See if you can set it pool side by worker.   The notes I saw say they honor suggested diff.

Probably possible to do:

Code:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mmpool.org:3334 -u philipma1957April2016 --gekko-compac-freq 150 --gekko-newpac-freq 175 -p x  --suggest-diff 128

Look for the VALUE at the top of cgminer where it says "Connected to pool mmpool.org diff VALUE with stratum..."
