Interesting ideas, and difficult to read  even when read twice, learning a lot here. Any thoughts already about what algorithm to use? You are talking about hardforking Bitcoin (when/if A.I. Coin is succesfull and accepted by the community), does that mean it will most likely be a sha265 algorithm? |

I just 'burn' the image on an SD card using Win32DiskImager
I do have multiple SD cards, because indeed the coping goes so slow, it would take the miner off-line to long.

The one witch extranonce support is stable and most recent.
I am about to flash 4 A2's soon. Should I wait for your newest version that you are working on? How long do you think it will be. I am trying to find what it is that effects this half hashrate problem. Version 4.7.0 has the same problem, and I have not been able to find the problem there (starting with nohup did not help btw) I honestly have no idea how long that will take. Also, I have a lot of things to do this week and only limited time to spend on this. I did manage to crank the SPI speed from 4MHz to 8 MHz, that might improve hashrate stability. For now I think you are best of in flashing the most recent version with extranonce support. |

This version also reports only half hash on the pool, just like the 4.7.0 version  |

default: $cg_option_speed1_1000 = 'selected = \"selected\"'; Testing right now. If anyone would like some other frequency options, you could suggest that now. |

1: Still no, as avw1982 said maybe at coin launches (you are better of mining a different algorithm, look at poolpicker.eu)
2: Looks ok
3: not sure if you can do that with solo mining
4: what I mentioned where algorithms not coins. If you mine at a multipool, they usually automatically exchange and pay in BTC

Answer to question 1: No definitely not. Chances for you to find a block are extremely slim with a 3 digit kh/s number, you would need at least 3 orders of magnitude larger.
Answer to question 2: Yes
Mining with GPU is very energy consuming and probably not profitable. If you do want to mine with it mine an algorithm that can't be mined with an ASIC yet. X11, X13, NITS etc.
Good luck

i am using your latest version of the tweaked, how can i solo mine on it?or even can i? using an A2 Terminator first version 86m/h
I have tried solo mining, with me it didn't work (wallet not installeled on the raspberry PI), but with other people it did work. Should be the same as with solo GPU mining: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/9505-how-to-solo-mine/ |

Extranonce submission for Innosilicon A2 scrypt miners: Link to image with CGminer 3.9.0 and Extranonce submission: https://mega.co.nz/#!XQ02naSC!oSENaKhSdJiIkzad9kdH3I7eMyqNfbUzVSnyxkrsPgwIf you want Extranonce for Nicehash for example the pool settings should be: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3334#xnsub -u enterYourBTCaddress -p x NOTE: did not work for me when set in miningrigrentals, only directly on the miner trough the web-interface |

When you have free power you can mine whatever you want and be profitable. If you do not have free power, do not mine Scrypt with GPU or CPU. Indeed as said it is better to mine a different algo.

4.7.0 not really stable indeed. That is why I released it like this. Extranonce subscription in 3.9.0 worked great:  Will update image later today after I have finished other work that needs to be done. |

Specially for BakSAj the link to the compiled cgMiner 4.7.0 for A2 https://mega.co.nz/#!GAlEwDbQ!8rDclpbmZZrrb_tg0yUvuWftaiYrPWLOVLMtngvMB9U- Rename the cgminer in the folder /var/www to cgminer3.9.0 (or something) - Copy cgminer4.7.0 to the folder /var/www and rename it to cgminer - Open the folder in the terminal (by right clicking on the older and clicking "open it in terminal") - Type the following to mark cgminer as an executable: - go to the folder /usr/local/bin. Replace the copy of cgminer there with cgminer4.7.0 and again mark it as an executable - again open the folder /var/www and type your startup command: sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu-01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u emdje.3166 -p x --A1Pll1 1300 --A1Pll2 1300 --A1Pll3 1300 --A1Pll4 1300 --A1Pll5 1300 --A1Pll6 1300 --diff 4096 --api-listen --api-network --cs 8 --stmcu 0 --hwreset --no-submit-stale --lowmem

emdje: what is the ETA for new cgminer? or wouldnt you mind releasing the code for A2 driver now? The time of A2 will come to an end within +- 3 months as gain will touch el. cost.
I made a promise to the person providing the code that I would not release it, would get him into trouble with innosilicon. There are still problems making cgminer 4.7.0 start on its own. It does however work when started through the terminal. I will post a zip with cgminer 4.7.0 in it so you can replace the right files by yourselves (do expect some donations). Maybe one of you can make it work, by changing the startup script for example. |

Hi emdje, to set diff to 512 the correct code is "--diff 512" or "--diff 8" using the command line on the image 2.0.
Thaks in advance W_M
You can set that on the webinterface using the dropdown menu "DEVICE INITIAL DIFF". possibilities are 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096. So no need for the command line. |

I will have a look at it and try to implement this. |
