Hi

I've tried the instructions on page 28 time and time again and it just wont fire up cgminer 4.11.1 with any newpacs or the r606.  I get the date/time stamp and message "Started cgminer 4.11.1" then it freezes for approx 30 secs before saying its either the server, URL, check details or set up workers.  It then cycles between Pool 0 difficulty changed to 10000 and Pool 0 message: Failed auth

I've ordered a Pi4 but about to throw this Pi3B+ under a bus...what can I do next?  Please see above post where the Pi3B+ won't boot up with the command line given on page 28.  Is that the difference or what else can it be?

Thanks in advance and regards.

My .sh file has this and permissions set to owner:


I've also added --usb :1 or --usb 1:12,1:13,1:14 1:15 and --gekko-newpac-freq x but nothing makes a difference. lsusb works as the devices are recognized.

Hello again folks

On Win7, there are different build date options within 4.11.1 which work differently with my R606 and Newpacs etc.  The question I have is what is the build version of the the link that is entered for Pi programming on page 28?  Is there only the one or are there differences such as the Win options?

If I wanted 4.10.0 to run 2Pacs, what would be the github link to that?

I can't download cgminer on windows10, 64 bit. Can anyone help me?

I am new to mining, bought a newpac and am following the installation manual, the cgminer link in the bitcointalk forum only goes to an error page.

appears like this to me  ( 403 Forbidden
nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)

Ditto. Try using a different date release version of 4.11.1. I use 13 May and it works a treat on Win7.

On the folder you download it should state what version it is. If you have the May 13th then the folder should say a62385f as seen below on the links.

All sorted yesterday evening and I’m very pleased after some frustrating weeks.  I re-installed NOOBS, selected Raspbian Full (v3 Sep 19) and followed the details on pages 1-2.  I’m hashing nicely on a Pi3B+ with x1 R606 (V5/500MHz) and x4 Newpacs (500MHz) returning 1.2THs after 4hrs (x5 500/500/500 100%).  I’ll split devices when the Pi4 arrives, start expanding and testing the R606 to the speeds I was returning on Win7.

(1) Has anyone experience with these GPIO 3.5” or HDMI 7” screens, how they effect power draw and whether they suit cgminer at all?

(2) Can someone please re-link the piece on this forum that instructs on how to VPN via Windoze?

(3) Can anyone also re-link how to set the auto cgminer reboot after a given amount of time?  I’ll be running these 24/7 and need remote access.

Thanks for everyone’s replies and I’ve learnt something new

I am a noob and not very familiar with computers so I apologize in advance but we all have to start somewhere. I'm currently reading every page of this thread and am half way done. I'm currently running 2 newpacs on a brovss usbh hub 10 port on windows 10(OptiPlex 7010). I have 3 sticks on the way and from my math I should be able to get 10.8w per stick but will run them at a lower wattage. Here are some questions I have and would love if someone could help school me up.
-When I put --gekko-newpac-boost at the end of my syntax(I believe this is what its called) and start cgminer. It says this is unrecognized. how do I fix this? I use slush pool so this is assuming that slush supports AB. google hasn't helped me determine if slushpool is compatible with AB. here is a copy and past of what I'm running.


-what is sudo for the syntax? and why are people needing this?
- Where does diff come into play? now that i over clocked it its all over the place. Does this hold any significance i should be paying attention to? my bat file does not have--suggest-diff 128 in it either. Also, what's best share mean?
-I believe the VCORE is the screw to the bottom right. when should I be adjusting this? can the newpac be up and running while its adjusted or does it have to be shut down? What's the benefit of adjusting it?  I imagine there is a sweet spot of watts used vs hashrate? If this correct and if so what's the sweet spot? On page 5 it reads (200-250MHz, 830-860mV.) Does anyone have a photo of where the leads need to touch on the stick so I can see how much power its drawing?
-I read that you want to zdag all sticks. Whats that mean and do I really need to do this? if so how do you zdag new stick to your farm??
- when someone is saying they are running --usb :1. What's this mean?
-if the miners shut down midway through a block? do you still get paid for the portion of work you did? I mine at slushpool
-I see a lot of people have issues with degradation of performance and a lot of people are just rebooting them every 6-24 hrs. How do I write that code for my bat file for windows 10?
-I'm having an issue where I can not overclock  effectively past 300MHz(One is hashing at 68.4 and the other is 68.2).I purchased these from amazon from a guy who had them over clocked to 600MHz with a printout to verify. This leads me to believe the issues is me. not the sticks. I made a small adjustment to the screw counter clockwise and I can now go to 350MHZ but not for long. Is there a way to ramp in MHZ wile the cgminber is running or do you have to shut it down and go into the bat file and change it that way every time? What could be some of the common problems of this?
-What is the flat of the pot? Is this the heat sink? the Miner that shts off seems to get hot on the bottom left of the heat sink.
-Where is the restart script and where does it go in the bat file?
-how much fluctuation is considered unstable and what numbers are you watching for?

I do not have the + after is says 2 chip(s) found.
I'm reading the entire thread. Its teaching me how much I do not know. lol pg 20 and 40 more to go
