Title: Help with CGMiner and HW Read errors Post by: kodan50 on January 07, 2014, 01:29:54 AM Howdy! I finally got my Block Erupter and I want to get it working tip top shape. I keep having issues after issues. Maybe someone can help?
I am using CGMiner 3.1.1 because all the other versions of CGMiner keep spitting out error messages using the same CMD line, and I don't see what is wrong, since the help output in --help shows no capitalization error, and it looks like it is all there. If anyone knows how to get the newer versions working, I will love you forever! For CGMiner, here is my CMD line in my batch file: cgminer-nogpu.exe -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u kodan50.worker1 -p ThisIsNotMyPassword --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM6 I read that HW error under 1% is normal, but since I have an older version that just had HW numbers, how do I know what the percentage is of my errors? And, what can I do to keep the errors down? #edited for relevence Title: Re: Help with CGMiner and HW Read errors Post by: vm1990 on January 07, 2014, 01:46:13 AM im not giving you a full guide but ill give you a very quick run down of the steps you need
download cgminer download zadig tool from cgminer website run zadig tool and change the miners drivers to win usb drivers unplug all the miners and plug them back in run cgminer and it should auto detect the miners you wont need any of the icarus setting the new cgminer is smart enough to know what hardware your using Title: Re: Help with CGMiner and HW Read errors Post by: kodan50 on January 07, 2014, 02:29:22 AM Well, that got it running in the latest version of CGMiner, so many thanks for that! So far, I haven't gotten any HW errors either, so maybe it was just a driver issue?
Now I just need 119 more ASICs to earn money. xD Title: Re: Help with CGMiner and HW Read errors Post by: vm1990 on January 07, 2014, 01:39:07 PM Well, that got it running in the latest version of CGMiner, so many thanks for that!
