Title: CGMiner is broken all of a sudden
Post by: lankyman on July 16, 2017, 10:30:26 AM
Claymore miner works perfectly fine, but when i start CGminer it does not want to start no longer, and it was working fine.
I have tested  different mining pools and still the miner just goes back to the command prompt.
I have used -T and --verbose to try and give more information as to why they failed.

I dont know what is going on and how this s all of a sudden started. Its really ridiculous.

Doesnt matter what i do, CGminer does not work anymore/ Doesnt matter what pool i connect to to rule the pool being the problem, out.

Please note this is CGMiner with the --skein argument which is available.

cgminer.exe --skein -o stratum+tcp://eu.miningfield.com:3397 -u user.worker -p x -T --verbose

then it goes back to the command prompt.

I dont know what the heck the problem is here really.

I have just run amdcleanuputility and re-installed non-whql-win7-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.11.2-nov4.exe

any takers?
