Title: cgminer showing 1969-12-31 timestamp Post by: 9code7 on February 05, 2020, 08:49:11 PM I'm running the latest version of cgminer on Ubuntu 18.04.03.
The output of timedatectl is: Code: Local time: Wed 2020-02-05 15:46:13 EST However, when I run cgminer, it shows the starting date as 1969-12-31. Will this affect my mining (BTC solo mining)? If so, how can i correct this?

If you are using GPU's head over to the alt coin section. If you are using really old hardware, don't expect them to do much for you. And to answer your question, it shouldn't matter what time the program displays.

0 is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC So since yaw behind UTC (-5) it will display earlier than that to start with. The start time is stored, not changed when the clock changes, so it wont change unless you restart cgminer after the clock is corrected.
