What if you want to mine multiple sticks? no problem, the cgminer is designed to look and find all your miners and run them all at the same time - you want that because more miners = higher profit or higher chance of hitting a block yourself. If you get an error I recommend starting from scratch and checking your code - one letter or space out of line - it will fail and throw an error, or will not mine. If it's successful you will be able to see your hash rate on your pool once you log in. Run again to check if you have your setup successful. You can find a list of pools by googling "Bitcoin mining pool" You can check pool companies like Slushspool and others to get the Stratum URL, user and port numbers to enter in your file. Next you will need to edit the file " test_mining" and change the Stratum URL and Bitcoin address to yours. This is the standard hashing power before overclocking and active cooling ( we also sell upgraded active cooling fan here). You will see next to 5S hash rate of about 25 - 30 Gh/s. If your setup is correct you will see a black page that look like this. Hit the "test_mining" file to see if your setup was correct, they will ask you if you want to save log files hit "y". The link will look something like this. Once that's done, download from the forum link above the newest cgminer files and unzip them to your desktop.
GEKKOSCIENCE CGMINER SETUP INSTALL
Install the zadig generic WinUSB drivers from: Ĭhoose "NewPac Miner" and hit replace drivers. You will find the latest drivers and cgminer files. You would need at least one USB port, using one port can run many many miners using our Bitcoin Merch® - 10 Port USB Hub. I suggest using a PC or a laptop that would be on anyway, to save money on electricity and reduce wear on your computers. In this guide we will be focusing on PC setup.įirst - plan what PC you would use. Although the chances of getting a whole block yourself is near 0 with this small amount of hashing power. I also adapted this code to my own material / miners / computer (you can refer to original documentation to docs/README) GekkoScience compac Usb miner. You have an option to mine with a pool, or solo mine to try and catch a whole block for yourself, which worth 6.25 BTC every 10 minutes at the time of writing this article. This software is forked from cgminer 4.11.1 original from ckolivas. Those chips run the SHA256 mining algorithm that can mine Bitcoin and other SHA256 coins. Inside this USB miner sits two BM1387 mining chips.
The easiest setup is with a PC.īefore we start, lets explain what this device does. You would need computer, you have a choice between a PC, MAC, Linux and Raspberry pi.
GEKKOSCIENCE CGMINER SETUP HOW TO
you can watch my video or read this manual on how to set one up yourself. You probably visited this guide because you heard of the GekkoScience NEWPAC USB Miner.
