I’m trying to get the the “GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer” to run on Ubuntu mate, the aim of the project is to get 81 or more running on a single RPi 3B. I was wondering will the the stranded Ubuntu Cg Miner run on Ubuntu Mate or will I need to make Modification to the CG miner for it to run on Mate? and is there a universal Linux CG miner that will run on all Linux software? Thanks for any help/input.
Ok I have got the GekkoScience 2Pac running. Here is my process.
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev screen libtool automake pkg-config libjansson-dev
mkdir -p git/vthoang; cd git/vthoang
git clone https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git
cd cgminer
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko
make -j 2
And to run the Gekko miner in cgminer.
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://“enter your mining pool address here.com:3333” -u “enter username/ wallet address here” --gekko-2pac-freq “100 to 300”
if directly connected to RPi3 I recommend not setting it above 125 for frequency which is about 13gh/s I would recommend a self-powered multi USB strip to supply enough power to the Bitcoin miner to run it over 125 at least 1.5 to 2 amps per USB port. And the fan for cooling.
