i am okay with every step up to this one:
5 - Run cgminer-nogpu with these options:
--icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COMx -S COMy -S COMz -S COMetc
what exactly does that string of code look like if i am making my own .bat file
also I am only running 1 usb miner and running bitminter for the extra namecoins so where would i input my worker log in info? before or after the icarus timing?
You can run it concurrent with a GUP miner using 3.1.1 just use cgminer instead of cgminer-nopu (I have 2 GPU's and 2 USB things) The .bat text below presumes you launch in the root folder of CGMiner, and you mine with btcguild.com (obviously just use your mining pool of choice and change the user name XXXXX and password. Also check the device manager to get the correct COM port once installed.
cgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u XXXXX -p password -I 9 --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM4
You can find all the tweaking option in the readme text in the root of CGMiner folder.
well that got me a bit further i had to take out the -s//./com4 because it says -s is not a recognizable command i am using 3.2 if that matters. also here is my new error
proving for an alive pool
pool 0 slow/down or URL credentials invalid
and here is my code
cgminer -o http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u xxx -p xxx -I 9 --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100
anyone see anything wrong with this?
