What's wrong with miner.php with full API access? Or how much control do you need?

Edit: To be clear, I believe that the folks behind SGMiner are delivering a lot of value to the community. That should go without saying. My point is that I do not think that creating another fork of CGMiner in order to accomplish this was necessary, and I don't think having an ever-growing collection of slightly-modified source code for each device, algorithm, coin, etc. is a positive status or direction for the community.
A fork was totally necessary, because kano/ck removed GPU code from cgminer. There HAD to be a fork. Yes, there's the 'other' fork of cgminer (karlroth's 3.7.3) that's taking bits out bfgminer and sgminer, making what I think is a 'super cgminer'. It's got the TUI from bfgminer and the xIntensity stuff from sgminer, etc. I'd rather have a fork of cgminer for doing scrypt, than what the CUDA miners are stuck with - a bodge of pooler's cpuminer with basically no features, it's like mining in 2009 all over again. I'd still love to see CUDA mining in bfgminer - these Marshall nVidia chips are fantastic, 260kH for less than 60W of power, impossible to beat with AMD for price/power/performance. |

I powered down and sold my ASICMiner stuff last month. I still have Gen2 Avalon hardware running, but it's getting very close to going too. Sucking 350W for 100GH. Right now, I'm making more with 1.5MH of GPUs than I am with 180GH of ASICs.  |

sgminer's changes, as far as I can see, are shit. I'm using either bfgminer 3.10.0 or cgminer 3.7.2 for my scrypt mining - those two miners actually work. sgminer doesn't work at all well. I think they're adding 24" chrome spinner rims to an AMC Gremlin.
I use a mix of HD6xxx, HD7xxx, and R9 GPUs on Windows 7.

Looks like a controller board using a PIC single chip microprocessor. It's most certainly not a Bitcoin mining solution of any kind as the PIC 33EP generally runs off it's internal 7Mhz oscillator giving 70 MIPS - way too slow for SHA256 by several orders of magnitude.
Yay! Well done, thanks for posting totally wrong information in a thread. If you don't know what you're looking at, don't post. Guys like you suck. Op, the plans for these boards is open source, and should be accessible from Technobit's site. It doesn't look too important, as it's between a USB signal line and ground. Probably a filtering cap or inductor. I'd have thought the miner would run fine without the component. Contrary to what you suggest in your rather stupid and rude reply, I do know what I'm talking about and you quite clearly don't. Haven't you anything better to do with your life, or is your homework too hard for you to do tonight? You're the dumbass who said it's not a bitcoin mining solution. Which is EXACTLY what it is, therefore you were WRONG. Or are the 5x HEX16A2 boards I have which are happily mining at 20GH each a figment of my imagination? |

Firstly, does it run on my computer with a connection to the internet?
It runs off a Bitcoin only system called Compuserve. You need a modem or if you're really lucky, an ISDN line. Does it run on a website / server hosted online? and second,
It runs using Windows 95's communications program. Make sure your baud rate is correct. Where can I get this software? and Roughly how much will software like this cost me?  I'll send you it floppy disks. It'll be £200+shipping. |

sgminer 4.1.0 didn't work at all well for me on either of my machines. Nor did the Kalgoth version of cgminer (3.7.3). I went back to the ancient cgminer 3.7.2 bundled with GUIMiner-Scrypt and it's working perfectly.
Even running sgminer with the same batch file as cgminer 3.7.2 gives poor results.

E.g. 1KVviQoDmmFz2AyyFELkjZKzVvqGnEXAhj had a payout of 0.04246054 BTC in the orphaned block timestamped 2014-03-04 07:08:41, but their ledger shows no transactions since 2014-03-02. https://blockchain.info/address/1KVviQoDmmFz2AyyFELkjZKzVvqGnEXAhj(EDIT: Just to be clear, this address is not bspurloc's, or mine, or anybody's in particular, just a random one that I clicked on from the orphaned block.) That's my address.  Last payment I got was on the 2nd from Eligius (ignoring the one that's not matured yet from today). |

Argh, noob here. Not sure why bfgminer keeps reporting such a low hash rate and I can't find any current explanation of the fields that might explain it. FWIW, GPU minig reports correct rates if I use that.
Your USB hub isn't providing enough power. |
|
|
|
gpu mining uses more power than its worth
Sweeping and inaccurate. |
|
|
|
|
Those addresses you see on Eligius are groups like KnC, Hashfast, etc.

No it won't its like taking a step everyone will eventually be on the step.
Way to go. Bringing up a thread that's been dead for 2 years with that pointless reply. Learn to read the dates on posts before adding to the thread. |

Try the 'proper' cgminer 3.7.2 - I had issues getting my 280X running much more than 500kH with sgminer and bfgminer, but the original cgminer 3.7.2 gave me 710kH.
Also make sure you've found the GPU/mem sweet spot - you need to make sure the GPU frequency matches a 0.68-0.7 ratio to get best speed. You can google how to find the sweet spot.

You don't have enough space, the Blockchain is over 30GB. Buy a computer that was made this decade, and Bitcoin-qt will work.

How do you poorley fit a fuse? it surely just slots in?
Poor contact gives higher resistance, which means the fuse heats up. Cheap fuses have thin legs, which means there's a poor connection, especially when they're not pushed in correctly. If it's only pushed half in, there's very little contact on the legs of the fuse, and you have scorchio! |

Newsflash! Poorly fitted fuse heats up and melts. More news at 10!

I gain nothing by inventing a story like this. The fact is a BTCG member hacked my miner and I can't see how given the cgminer conf is intact. So I was hoping for a bit of help, like it's probably been done using X, Y, Z method and here's how to help avoid that. I posted in this forum as I think BTCG has some responsibility to stop it's members behaving in this way.
SSH to the miner, screen to the cgminer instance, change pool details, don't save config. That's how. BTC Guild has zero responsibility. It's your responsibility to secure your equipment, not BTC Guilds. |

Am I doing something wrong?
You're doing three things wrong. 1. You're mining BTC with a GPU and expecting some payouts 2. You're mining at Slush's 3. You're not posting in Slush's pool thread. With a 7950 you should be mining at some of the scrypt pools that do auto conversion to BTC, like Wafflepool, and Scryptguid. Mining BTC directly at 500kH is just turning electricity in to heat and noise for no other gain. |

85% with 70C is the normal fan speed/temp when mining.
I'm not sure what you think your problem is?

it says I have 30 connections and the debug log seems to be growing but I just dont get it.
Last time I did it, it took just about a week to download. You can also run out of virtual memory while syncing for the first time, so if your machine is hitting the page file on a HDD it'll slow it down like mad. Either use a SSD or make sure you've lots of memory on a 64-bit OS. |
