Title: CGMiner not showing hashrate?
Post by: Nyrb on February 13, 2014, 03:48:58 AM
I started using CGminer and I've seen pictures of other people clients and it shows their hashrate, but when I open mine and start mining, it only shows Pool Management, Setting, Display options, and Quit.  After that it just shows the log and no hashrate.  Anyone know what causes this? Any info helps   ;D

It sounds like you don't actually have any mining hardware. Cgminer uses your PC to run the mining hardware; the PC hardware itself does not do the mining.
