Hey everyone I'm kinda new to this mining stuff but I've always been into charts and all that. I just found out about GekkoScience Compac F's and wow, 350gh/s for 200 bucks each? I had to grab 2 of them. They're not here yet, but I’m trying to compile some changes from GitHub that should help me make the most of these sticks. I dove into GitHub without much coding experience... managed to get WSL set up though.

That version of cgminer you got is pretty old. And that link you shared isn’t really a guide, just a direct download. If you're on Windows 11 with WSL, check out the Kano.is guide on compiling cgminer. It’s pretty straightforward. You can find the guide on GitHub.
