Title: Help!! I need help with CGMiner!!
Post by: kgonepostl on August 24, 2012, 11:02:40 PM
Here's what I put in my batch file.
start /D "C:\cgmine" cgminer.exe -o deepbit.net:8332 -u username@email.com -p password -I 10 -d 0 -d 1 -d 2 -d 3 --temp-target 80 --auto-fan --gpu-memclock 300

I searched all over and couldn't find out how to tell cgminer to not use 99% of my cpu. I want to use my computer at the same time and I really don't want my cpu under full load. Another thing too. I just switched from guiminer and I kinda liked the -f60 flag. Is there something like that for cgminer as well?? If somebody who knows cgminer well can re-write my batch command to do this I would very much appreciate it!! I'm a noob!!

Sorry about the double post but I couldn't find an edit button.  I don't want cgminer to use my cpu at all. It barely gets any coins and I'm using the machine as I mine for coins!!   I also don't know how to withdraw my bitcoins into my pooling account.  Thanks so much!!

Just remove the "-I 10" part

And if you want a failover pool then do another "-o http://pool1:port -u pool1username -p pool1password" segment after your primary one.  It treats them in order of priority.

A failover pool is there in case the main pool you use goes down.

What do I add to even the load when I boot up a video game so I don't get lagged to death. Love the -f60 flag in guiminer

I'm going to sign up for another pooling network for a failover to add to cgminer. What do you guys suggest for another pooling network as a backup. Right now I'm using deepbit.  Thanks!

Should I add again -d 0 -d 1 -d 2 -d 3 after my failover pool? I'm not insanely familiar with writing these bat scripts. Thanks for the help man.

Why do you put all that stuff in a bat file?


Why not change up the config file for cgminer? IMO makes things a lot easier... but to each his own....

Maybe reading the readme file would help ...

You can easily start cgminer from scratch.. no bat file... It will ask you to enter pool details and you can make all your changes through cgminer and then save the config file....



A whole lot easier then screwing with bat files.....
