Now you can clone the GekkoScience CGMiner branch from GIT: mkdir -p mining/2pac cd mining/2pacĪfter successful cloning you can start to build CGMiner.

CGMINER SETUP LINUX INSTALL

Sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncurses5-dev

libncurses5-dev: text base user interface for CGMiner.

libusb-1.0-0-dev: USB support for CGMiner.

libcurl4-openssl-dev: http connectivity for CGMiner.

libtool: provides shared library access for CGMiner.build-essential: Compiler and Compile Tools.The following packages are mandatory to properly build CGMiner:

CGMINER SETUP LINUX UPDATE

It’s not necessary to use root.įirst steps: update and upgrade of system and reqired packages: sudo apt-get update This installation guide describes setup, configuration and build based on a freshly installed Raspbian (Debian) or Ubuntu installation. The higher the hashrate, the bigger is the deviation from this average, caused by ASIC manufacturing tolerances.Preparation, Package Dependencies, Configuration and Build for Raspbian – Kernel version: 4.4 (Debian 8.7.1) or higher of for Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS or higher Preparation.You can calculate the average hash rate using the following formula: The mining performance depends on your Clock Rate and Core Voltage setup. If you want to operate your Miner without active cooling, we recommend a Clock Rate up to 100 MHz max. The Clock Rate can be set with the following commandline parameter: gekko-2pac-freq. The example above shows a Solo-Mining configuration in Con Kolivas’ Solo Mining pool. Please contact your pool operator or check the pool setup guide for more details. The Pool configuration which is used in the example above should be replaced by your own pool configuration data. The following command will start up the CGMiner Software (example): cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://:3333 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -p x -suggest-diff 32 -gekko-newpac-freq 150

CGMINER SETUP LINUX DRIVER

With Windows PowerShell you can check if the right driver has been installed: PS C:> gwmi Win32_USBControllerDevice |% | sort Manufacturer,Description,DeviceID | ft -groupby Manufacturer Description,Service,DeviceId -auto Setup The following CMD command can be used to test if the Miner was correctly identified by the CGMiner Mining software: cgminer.exe -n Please note: After installation of Zadig USB driver tools, activate the List All Devices” option in “Options” menu if the Miner does not show up: In case of problems with the device detection, please try the Zadig WinUSB (libusb) driver:

CGMINER SETUP LINUX WINDOWS 10

For Windows 7 and Windows 10 operating systems we recommend the use of Zadig USB driver & tools ( ). When plugged in, the Miner is registered in Windows Device Manager as “NewPac Bitcoin Miner”. SoftwareĢPac USB Stick Miners can calculate Hashes for SHA256D based Coins using a custom CGMiner branch which is available for download as a pre-compiled version for Windows 7 or higher: We achieved best results with Arctic Breeze Mobile 92 mm (quiet, performant, high-quality). We recommend a quality USB fan for operating clock rates greater than 150 MHz. For more details please check the following link on. Users reported several compatibility issues with USB 3.0 Hubs with Intel chipsets. We have achieved good results with several USB 2.0 Hubs from Anker or Orico and offer the GekkoScience 7-Port USB Hub which was specifically designed for the operation with USB stick miners. This USB Stick Miner requires a actively powered USB Hub which can independently provide 2 A for each USB port.
