I get the same comms error, I've reported it in a few threads but never had any response as to what causes it or how to make it go away. I get the same error using my U3 with bfgminer on this same machine, so I think it may be hardware related and not actually have anything to do with bfg.

On this machine I currently have 2 gekko sticks and 2 nanofury usb sticks. I do not get comm errors with only the nanofury sticks, but once I plug in the compacs or the U3 the errors pop up. Since the compac used to be recognized as a U3 I think that's a hint as to where the issue is.

The good news is my devices seem to hash along just fine, despite the error. The only problem is that eventually, after 8-24 hours, the hash drops to almost nothing pool side while bfg still reports full hash speed. At that point I just restart bfgminer and unplug/replug the miners, that's the only work around I've managed to come up with.

Pool side reports a bit lower than bfg, probably a result of the comms error.

All time high of 400th! won't last long a short rental.

Thanks for all your time and rentals. 400TH is pretty impressive even if just for a short time. Wow that is a lot of hash to be throwing around.

We just nee some luck eventually. That would be nice.

'The right to privacy matters'

I had an Internet crash.

So my twenty sticks my donation my s-7 all went down for 5 hours.

My s-7 did not burn up! I was happy about that.

I restored almost everything except for the one stick I was running for arrons6

I will do that in a bit.

Nice to see a 19g share!

Wow! Thanks Phil!

You were right though. It didn't last long. Looks like it's already heading back down.

*Edited as long quote

2700CFM at 0.33HP, my sun server does more air then that and at 110dBa :>

since my little hub got 30A at 5V directly from the PSU..

They actually say 1062 CFM in video. It could be wrong though it seemed a little dated on video. It is a interesting designed fan's. All I use are more traditional round ones.

I am impressed with your hub. I would love to see how high a stick goes on that.

how many fans? are they 80mm radial design? whats the static pressure? how many rpms? what temps are they in?

is 110 db a or c-weighted <= a/c weighing makes a difference in perceived sound in human ears due to the shape of the ear canal. animals like cats/dogs hear much different)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting

these are 0.33 horse power i believe

these are big and each one weighs 27lbs. I ran them around 2007 in construction. that have warnings not to move them while running and warnings to brace doors as they will close them with air presure and keep children and drapes away from them. gotta love it

yup servers are LOUD and can move serious air indeed. 110db can hurt your ears long term ( i work at an ent medical practice with audiologists and run pro sound in a band ill grab a sound meter and check) I have some delta fans kickin around somewhere in the basement

the video is from 2006 I think

these are fairly quiet we ran them in residential houses. and we do have servers at work that need air conditioned environments.

this one you can rent if needed

the old thing is a Sunfire 280R, the 3x12cm fans (Fan Module 540-5088) are louder then a Vax vacuum, I have to yell to talk to the other person! So OK, its not 110 db, but it is rather loud. and they will push on your hand if you have it in the air stream (im thinking 250cfm each)..

also the 2700 is what the factory is rating them blowers for..

I used to use a electric radiator fan out of a car as an exhaust fan, they did 2500cfm and were only 16". I'm half tempted to setup a room to do that again, although the house I'm in has fold out windows, not sliders, so a little harder to setup..

You guys are talking about cooling a stick or two, right? Wink

Thought I'd share my misery for the last 24 hours.
Tried playing with voltage and frequency (for the contest) on my two sticks and minera-cgminer pi.
Everything went to hell. Only this morning do I think I got things back to where they were- 24Gh at 225.

Hard to tell from your description what happened. Maybe you could provide more details?

In my case after installing the Y cable, I made very tiny adjustments to the pot then observed the results before making more changes. It took a long time.

Also, since I have two sticks where one performs better than the other, I had to strike a compromise between the two.

Quote from: pepto on October 23, 2015, 09:06:57 AM

Also edonkey gave me this so I didn't have to wait for a 1K share to appear, which is what cgminer seems to require before down regulating my share difficulty. But it doesn't work. I did put a space and a number (80) after 'diff'

/var/www/minera/minera-bin/cgminerStartupScript: line 4: --suggest-diff: command not found

Any thoughts on this one?

That's weird. The "--suggest-diff" option is definitely spelled right. I'm using 32, like so:

Code:

--suggest-diff 32

Can you copy the text from the "Manual Options" setting in Minera and paste them in a reply?

Or even better, can you ssh to the RPi and show us what is actually being passed to the cgminer executable? Something like this would show it to us:

Code:

ps auxwww | grep -i [c]gminer

Here's sample output from my RPi:

Code:

minera   13743  0.0  0.4   3020  2056 ?        Ss   Sep30   3:52 /usr/bin/SCREEN -dmS cgminer-gekko /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/cgminer-gekko --compac-freq 306 --balance --suggest-diff 32 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json
minera   13744 10.3  3.8 162088 17344 pts/1    Ssl+ Sep30 3407:48 /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/cgminer-gekko --compac-freq 306 --balance --suggest-diff 32 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json

Well, yes to this part-
Manual options
You have chosen to add all options manually, I will only add for you the pools list, you have to take care of the rest.

--compac-freq 225 (This works)
Please do not include the command name or the pools (they are automatically added).
When it didn't work, it looked like this-
--compac-freq 225
--suggest-diff 80

I've only successfully putty'd into an s1 or s3 . I can manage to get the drink recipe. After that, I need my hand held. What's the default user and password for a minera pi? and I'll try again but don't hold your breath.

It probably doesn't matter, but have you tried putting the manual options all on one line?

The default password for the minera user is minera. So something like this should get you in (replace with your RPi's IP address):

Code:

ssh minera@rpi_ip_address

When prompted, provide the password minera.

Sorry but I'm not very familiar with Putty. I'm a Mac guy so ssh is built in.
