Topic: [RUN 2 CLOSED][SIDEHACK STICK]GekkoScience Compac Official sales thread - page 27. (Read 69935 times)

Looks like a few more details worked out and I'll have one of those 49-port hubs to play with. Which is pretty cool. Some of the bulk orders from resellers are 50 sticks, so I would actually be able to briefly max it out while testing those batches.

Hey, y'all wanna see something cool?



That's the 8 sticks that didn't get shipped on Friday, each having cooked at 200MHz for about 55 hours at this point. There's also a fresh 21 sticks I just generated today, waiting to be flashed and burned. I should have as many again done tomorrow, which means we could be shipping 50 sticks come Tuesday. That would get us through the first big order, the three pending international orders and another two off the small queue. The 30 after that will get us through the next big batch (which is Canada GB), probably going out Thursday. That'd give us an even 100 sticks shipped.
As of right now, I have 45 sticks in small buys going out after Canada, with one large buy (Venezuela) in the middle of it. So after 165 sticks the only things left to ship (as of right now) are large orders, including Australia and a few website resellers.

Sent you a PM about hooking you back up with a set of 49 port hub plus cables and power supply

BFGMiner 5.3.0 released including Compac support

I had 122 sticks  block erupters on one pc my all time best for a pc.  

I have  had 75 U1 + U2 on one pc

A pc maxes at about 120-127 sticks.

You need a second usb controller  to go over.

I had one of those 49-port hubs I got damaged off CrazyGuy sometime last year but I fixed and sold it 'cause bills were due. I'm kinda wishing I'd hung onto it instead. I mean my little 10-port is nice but it's not that nice. Maybe I should build more. Or get a forty-niner. I still have some 30A power supplies, and if that's not good enough it's not like I can't build one better. I mean a slight change to the TypeZero power systems as designed would get me upward of 50A of 5VDC. That'd run a lot of sticks. I could fill the hub with 250MHz sticks and get about 670GH off that 50A. I wonder when was the last time someone had 670GH worth of stick miners running together? That would have taken 2000 Block Erupters. Dang. Actually, let me do some checkin' and see if I can't scrounge one of those up.

Speaking of, I should probably post pictures of the thing full-up with proper green-heatsink Compacs running on Novak's cgminer. I think we had about 8 plugged in when I left the shop this afternoon. They'll be swapped out with more in the next couple days.

Apparently Monday is some sort of labor holiday ("Labor Day is observed in the United States on the first Monday of September to celebrate the achievements of workers and the labor movement") which means the post office is closed and, I dunno, people are supposed to take a day off work? Yeah like that'll happen, dangit I got sticks to make. So it looks like shipping will resume Tuesday.

Great news! Can't wait.

I have one of those nice powered 10 port hubs so I am ready to go as soon as mine arrive. I also just ordered the 300Watt power supply and cable for the 49 port eyeboot hub i had floating around just for these sticks

Any word on the free shipping on Amazon theory?

I have several, would like several more. Great piece of kit.

All good - and good news!

Big news, folks. The first ten small orders (that aren't going overseas, sorry TheRealSteve you'll have to wait for Monday) are heading to the post office right now.

I'll be out this evening and most of the day tomorrow, but between Sunday and Monday I hope to get another at least 30 sticks going. That coupled with the ones we still have will catch me up through the first big lot and all the pending international orders.

MHz*0.055=GH/s (max theoretical)
eg, 200MHz is 11 GH/s.

I've poked around here, and I just can't seem to find the MHz to GH/s ratio for the BM1384 that's on this stick. As I understand it, this is a fixed value based on the design, and is probably dictated by the number of replicated hashing engines within the ASIC.

Does anybody recall what this is?

To Luke Jr:  Thanks for the support.

thanks I will give that a try on the weekend.

Yep, I'll try to get 5.3.0 released before any deliveries take place.
Note I merged and deleted the "compac" branch, so just the main "bfgminer" branch is fine now.
Windows users can get git-built bleeding-edge binaries from: http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/webisect/webisect.php?dobuild=bfgminer

Sent the 0.242536 BTC ($56) for 2 Compacs to 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr.
Shipping address in message.

Thanks!

I've just been using the same hex values as the S5 (view source on the config page) so I haven't had trouble with them yet.  I got the stick to run at 450MHz but so badly it's hashrate was lower than 425MHz, and there were so many errors it probably was worse than 300MHz.  Also just a note:  I think Luke-Jr is planning to release support soon but as far as I know right now you need to build the "compac" branch on his github if you want compac support on bfgminer.


Yeah I intend to post it this weekend.  The compac seems to do ok at up to 200MHz or so on stock ~=0.6V voltage, you probably need to bump it a bit to go over that, and 300MHz probably needs close to 0.7V.  If you only have stock USB power you can get it to run 150MHz or less actually undervolted to maybe 0.58V (this is under spec for the chips so it may or may not work on a given stick but I've seen it).

What's the shipping update at this point?

They're not cheap, but CoolGear makes some bullet proof usb hubs.  I use this one for my stick miners (I run 4 nanofury sticks, soon to be replaced with 4 Compacs): http://www.coolgear.com/product/metal-7-port-usb-2-0-hub-w-din-rail-mounting-kit-japan-nec-chip

I also have one of the usb fans mentioned previously.  Once my Compacs show up this stick set up should out perform one of my old U3 miners (which are just sitting on my desk gathering dust now).
