Hi guys,
Sorry to bother you all again, but my cable arrived (thanks for the info!) and Ive got my R606 running on CGMiner now, but Im seeing some readout info that I dont understand, and I was hoping someone could enlighten me!
First thing is:
Im seeing 0: GSI 0 - R606 Bitcoin Miner (10040525) in between the accepted
share messages that scroll down the screen;
Second thing is:
Ive got the R606 USB directly plugged into my computer in case that matters, Ive got the appropriate power supply, and Im running it at setting 3, 420 mV. But the WU seems to fluctuate
its reading 75.1% WU: ^68% but it fluctuates up to 100% on both counts sometimes. Is there something wrong with it, or is that normal given the power setting?
Right now its putting out 500 Gh/s but again, that fluctuates.
Do you guys think its okay? Also, what does 75.1% WU: ^68% mean?
Thanks again guys!
Welcome to the mining community.
WU is for Work Utility. Its a measurement of how much you are distributed from the pool. It will bounce up and down for the most part until you have a very stable vardiff that doesn't change. Variable difficulty is sent by the pool to establish the best connection speed and "work" your units are able to provide without getting clogged or waiting too long for a response. Each pool has their own rules as to how much is the "goldilocks" rate so don't worry too much about that. The version of CGMiner used for the Gekkoscience products are auto adjustiing and will find the best rate based on what you're putting into the startup file.
Once everything settles down you should see a balance that changes very little. For example: 8 Newpacs @ 500mhz will start out at less than 70% but after an hour or so will be at 98% and 95% WU. If you 'Overclock" have a good fan on them.
