Hello there,
My NewPAC feels very hot to the touch a few minutes after being plugged into the USB hub,
*despite* not being used by cgminer, just sitting there doing nothing.
Any thoughts on whether this is normal?
I had been hoping to not use any fan at all at 100 Mhz, wishful thinking?

Also 2 additional things. It would be best to put your command into a .sh file set it to executable and all you have to do is just sudo ./filename.sh and good to go.
Which brought up the 2nd point, this error:
You received the privilege access to your USB device. You will need to use sudo before the command.

I've not seen that command in any instructions.

Hello everybody,
I'm new to the mining and Linux/raspberry topic, but i'm pretty know in computers in general.
My problem is, that the cgMinier 4.11.1 dosen't recognize my USB Miner "bitshopper GekkoScience NewPac",
or let me acess it.
I hope, that someone here can help me. I'm really frustrated and desperate.
I installed, i don't know for sure, rasbian (i guess) on the raspberry Pi
Everything's working fine so far.
I used the terminal with these commands in the following order:
I start cgminer with this command:
Tried it with sudo too.
Programm is starting, but doesn't start minning!
I recieve this error everytime:
I used
to look for the miner, but there are just 8 inputs by the mouse and the keyboard
I used
after that the error is gone, but no USB device ist detected
I used the miner and the Orico USb 2.0 HUB, to which the stick is connected, on my windows PC.
No problem at all works just fine.
That's where i'am right now, don't have any ideas anymore, that's why i'm here.
Pls help!
Greetings Ricardo

I am looking at the latest version for desktop 19.04, is this one ok or should I go with the previous version 18.04 ?
From what I understand the odd versions are like betas and the even numbers are the supported releases. I would go with the 18.04 LTS (Long Term Support) version.

Based on what you're telling me, The miner appears to be detected MacOS. take a look at this procedure to remove the VPS modem driver:

As you suggested I tried this but still with no luck on this machine ..
and even with no hashrate somehow it was just satisfying to install cgminer with homebrew !

When you mentioned swapping from USB2 and USB3 i figured; imo if you have the technical expertise to setup a Hackintosh, I would recommend you dual boot into Ubuntu on a separate drive. it will be far less PITA to troubleshoot on your exact, same hardware. Even the Identifier (e.g. imac13,1 imac13,2 imac14,2) you picked in Clover can make a huge difference as to how ports are addressed, and is typically hardware-specific to your motherboard and chipsets. I can help out with mining on MacOS, but troubleshooting hackintoshes is out of my wheelhouse.
I ended up buying a ssd where I will be installing Ubuntu as you recommended, hopefully I can manage.
I am looking at the latest version for desktop 19.04, is this one ok or should I go with the previous version 18.04 ?
Thank you for all the help !

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble setting up my gekko science terminus r606. I have downloaded and installed the drivers, extracted cgminer to folder. Using ckpool and atom wallet. When I try to exe. cgminer from cmd prompt, with my wallet address and password it says cgminer.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Could someone please help me with this . It is driving me crazy. Thank you in advance!

are you putting the full path of the cgminer.exe in your command prompt?
Myself, I just edit the cgminer.exe text and create multiple versions for various speeds and pools and then just double click the cgminer.exe and run it that ways.

not that I can tell, here is what I get when starting cgminer, I would say no error beside the no device found...

You mentioned this branch to cgminer, I am just a little confused.
Should I run the Homebrew code you guys talk about on the first page ?
And then your branch ? Or just run your branch code ?
I am asking because I don't understand the code .. so not sure how to proceed, thank you!

please read the above link again - it has the exact command you need to compile the r606 branch of the mining software.
well, it's actually a hackintosh I put together, the identifier was installed as a iMac late 2012 running 10.12.6, I wanna say 13,1 but could also be 13,2 (21 vs 27 inch imac)...

Eyeboot ships from Hong Kong which is sorta in that corner of the globe. MineFarmBuy and 419mining both will ship international from USA. ASICPuppy might also but I don't know for sure.

October 07, 2019, 06:21:42 PM
Those look like instructions for building CGMiner. But I don't know anything about Mac stuff. Search through the thread, I think somebody got it to work on a Mac but I don't know how successful they were.
You would probably be better off using Ubuntu or a Pi 4.

October 07, 2019, 05:36:23 PM
You need to use the version of CGMiner VH made for the Gekko equipment which is linked on the top post. Regular CGMiner does not work with the R606 or sticks. Also the version you are trying to use is ancient so it probably doesn't work with anything current.
October 07, 2019, 05:23:52 PM
1. which mac are you on? >About This Mac>System Report>Model Identifier (e.g. MacPro5,1)
well, it's actually a hackintosh I put together, the identifier was installed as a iMac late 2012 running 10.12.6, I wanna say 13,1 but could also be 13,2 (21 vs 27 inch imac)
it's a gygabyte Z170-HD3 motherboard with a intel 3.7 GHz Intel Core i3 and a crucial PSU, no video card, I am using the machine as a home server so I only access it remotely
2. Do you get some sort of error message?
not that I can tell, here is what I get when starting cgminer, I would say no error beside the no device found
Code:

problem is no hashrate
3. When the r606 is plugged into the mac, in the System Information app, does it show up as a device under Hardware>USB>USB Device Tree ?
Under USB it shows up as R606 Bitcoin Miner

Hi all !
So Christmas came early for me today .. https://imgur.com/MOICfnT
But somehow playing with cgminer in the last month and nothing connected to it wasn't enough to get everything up and running.
I don't have a fan yet for the newpacs so for now I am just trying to run the r606 (btw I thought it'd be bigger)
Anyhow, I am running cgminer 4.3.3 on a mac (downloaded it from spaceman) but the interface doesn't see the usb.
I bought the power brick but then read that it's more efficient connecting the power to a PSU (so I did), the usb cable goes to a 2.0 usb on the motherboard (also tried 3.0 with no luck)
I connect to the ck solo at de.ckpool.org:3333 then use my btc address for username and x for password
I read about the need? (not sure) to compile Homebrew, is that it for me ? Do I just punch in that code ?
Also running your syntax doesn't seem to work, not sure if relevant
OS X
That's why I just hit enter at the precompiled version of cgminer and only then I type in the url, user and password in the terminal, not sure what else to do, any suggestions please ?

Thanks very much for the info. I've added a question 6 to my previous post...what do you think to adding the --btc-address xyz for soloing as per the readme?
"--btc-address" is required for solo mining to your local Bitcoin client. If you are solo mining to a solo pool like solo.ckpool.org it is not required since that is a pool and not your local bitcoin client.

Your R606 numbers look good and inline with what I get at power level 5 on my batch 2 unit.
2. ASIC's have always gotten Hardware faults, that is pretty much a characteristic of ASIC's. I don't even look at them anymore as long as my hashrate is decent, and yours is.
3. You shouldn't need to worry about setting a minimum difficulty for any decent pool. That setting is just so that an ASIC doesn't flood a pool with diff 1 shares before the pool adjusts to a reasonable value. Most good pools start at a high value and adjust to a reasonable value that produces around 18 shares per minute. So don't worry about it and let the pool adjust it as the pool will do the adjustment regardless of what you set anyway.
5. With Gekko gear you need to se VH's versions of CGMiner "."
