hi,

Where can I learn more about this opportunity?

This is it. Unless you mean, "where can i get a stick?"?

Where are you? There's a thread for certain regions. If its not covered, this is the thread;

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/run-2-closedsidehack-stickgekkoscience-compac-official-sales-thread-1126705

Relevant part region wise;

- AJRGale is selling for Australia
- valkir is selling for Canada
- chiguireitor is selling in Venezuela
- MacEntyre of bitshopper.de is manufacturing and selling in Europe

I am in New York. Do I order directly from you?

I just received my sticks in the mail today. I will play around with getting them running tonight and hopefully join the pool soon. It sounds like a fun concept.

That's a heck of a USB hub those things are attached to... talk about industrial strength

. How much power can it feed to each port? You've got that bridge connector, so I'm assuming the sidehack stick draws more than one port can provide when you're running it at those speeds?

when i was doing 350 freq the stick liked 1.95 amps that hub can do .9 amps to all 19 ports.

it can do 1.5 amps to single port

Phil, where did you get those USB bridge thingies?

I'm talking about that board that has two male plugs that power a single female plug in the top middle.

I assume that one side is power only?

they were sold here for that hub by klintay

Those things are hella fancy. But all my my USB hubs are verticals so i could not use those one exactly. I will probably have to run them in a single socket or find some y connectors for the USB sticks that fit. Or not and try to figure out the freq/volt at which i can run the stick without burning a socket.

Those are very fancy. Phil has also showed use these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1Ft-USB-2-0-A-Female-to-2-x-male-Y-Splitter-Extension-Extender-Lead-Cable-Power/221661361513 (I think that was auction could be wrong). I'm waiting for those to show up someday to try to OC on the cheap.

How well did the cheaper splitters work on OCing that much?

Yes those are the one's. Only problem is the SLOOOOOOOOOW row boat from China Grin

Curmudgeonly hardware guy

I ran nine sticks off a Pi at stock cgminer 4.9.0 back in testing, I think around 225MHz, for a couple days without issue. We've run eight sticks at a time for days at a time on cgminer-gekko on a Deb7 install. I'll admit I haven't seen either BFG or the Windows build of cgminer-gekko yet to know if they suck or not. But I officially don't approve of Windows 10.

Also, I should really get around to pointing sticks here.

Here are two sticks at freq 350 I ran them over night

The air filter next to them is running for my allergies so free cooling.

these ran about 8 hours good numbers but when I add more sticks setup runs really bad.

I had a pc crash will try it tomorrow .

I was able to fire up a different pc and it is running windows 7.

this gear runs better with windows 7 . then windows 10.

my lone windows 10 build does not want to do more then 4 sticks.

my windows 7 in the mac mini vm is doing 5 sticks.

my replacement pc is doing 2 sticks (the tester sticks which use different drivers)

so at this point I am using 3 pc's to run 11 sticks.

I need to know has anyone gone past 5 sticks and the run keeps working.

for now things seem to get a bit buggy past 2 sticks. and over 5 is a no go.

I just have 5 sticks, so going over 5 ? (would like to get at least 2 more to fill the 7 ports on the hub).

Finally did track down the problem with cgminer-gekko and the Pi (I think, have to try another build after work), it gets a fatal "json" error in the config file. So going to try to do a build without libjansson-dev and see if that takes care of it (or if it will even build without it).

I have 22 sticks. I am not sure why the gear is behaving poorly after I get into higher sticks. I will screen shot the 2 stick 350 freq setup for this pool.

Oh I am running the bonus 5th hash for the day. Should last 5 more hours.

Bfg keeps closing on me after a little bit Angry

Have you tried cgminer-gekko?

I've been running it for about 5 days on a Pi. Very stable.

the gekko build on my windows 7 vm is very good 5 sticks at freq 125

here they are

added my engineering sample after refitting it with the original heatsink (did some testing with the bitshopper heatsink), just letting it run slow without any active cooling:

Thanks.

I ran the 5 th rental for the day.

Will do this rental for thirty days.

I am on an iPad right now will go back to my pc later and add you in.

So far running two sticks has been okay the bigger five six stick setups are not as good.

I do not seem to be doing well with my window 10 build.

My Mac mini w-7 vm build is doing 5 sticks. I need to play more to figure this out.
