GekkoScience NewPac and Terminus R606 Discussion

Let’s talk about these GekkoScience miners. Anyone excited about the NewPac or Terminus R606?

Big shoutout to the community for all the support! Your input really helps keep the development going strong.

So how do I actually get my hands on a miner? I checked the announcement threads but still a bit confused.

I’m waiting on a better hub too, but got one stick running! Need help with a bat file to add another stick at 150MHz.

Thanks! Gonna fire up my setup in an hour. Got two NewPacs at 125MHz giving me 56GH... sort of.

Anyone else running into issues with CGminer on Raspbian? Mine crashes after about a day with some weird error.

Try upgrading your OS drive. Might help with crashes.

Yeah I read that adding something to /boot/cmdline.txt could fix it, has anyone tried that?

I’ve already implemented the slub_debug hack, but that’s more for the kernel, right? My micro SD has plenty of space.

My two are still hashing away on bravo-mining. Just checked the stats.

I recognize some names on that leaderboard. Good to see familiar faces!

So I’ve got my whole setup running now: 5 compacs, 1 2pac, and 2 NewPacs hitting 125GH.

Haha that’s me on the bravo miner! Gonna hold off on buying a NewPac until after the wedding though.

Can you share your command line setup? My original compacs are acting up and resetting.

I’m on Windows 10 with CCminer 4.11. Using a high-end setup with 16GB RAM and an i7. Gonna post my bat file later.

What should the vcore be set at? Just got my NewPac but it’s not working right out of the box.

I got mine working fine on Windows 7, but I’m stuck on Raspberry. Followed the steps carefully and hit a wall with "failed usb_init".

Looks like you missed something. Try running as root or check the cgminer rules file.

Spent two days troubleshooting, but finally got everything running smoothly! Thanks for the help!

New build just dropped: 09a2f37! It’s got some cool features for detecting miner types separately.
