1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Zipzap to offer cash to bitcoin in 28000 uk locations on: March 13, 2014, 10:24:31 AM
Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone has now had an experience of using this service that they would like to share?

This is not that urgent. If 1 exchanges operates like it should we're good to go.
Although this is welcome sooner rather than later.

We'd be "good to go" if there was only one reputable exchange? The entire volume of world trade moving through a single exchange? That would be a worse case scenario in my opinion.

Hi JackBits, thanks again for your reply.

This is how I would describe the crash: The screen flickers black for a moment and then back to the desktop, there's then a pop up that says something along the lines of "Your display driver crashed and has recovered...".

The fans are running fine on auto-fan and the temperatures are good (~70 degrees) when it crashes, it doesn't seem to be temperature related. It's not overclocked (stock 925/1250), but I've tried lowering the clock speeds and it still crashes the display driver. I've also tried playing with the intensity with no success. The power has not been disturbed and I've checked on it to make sure.

I've tried reinstalling the drivers, I will reseat them and then reinstall both cgminer and the drivers and then report back. As I said it's very strange as nothing has changed as far as I can tell, and they've been running fine for over a week or so on intensity 19 and with various overclocks. It seems I can't post outside of the newbie section of the forum yet.

Again, thanks.

Hi again guys, I'm having another issue I hope someone here might be able to help me out with.

After a couple of minutes of mining cgminer crashes my display driver. The driver then quickly recovers but mining is interrupted and it takes some time for cgwatcher to realise and try restarting cgminer.

Has anyone had this display driver crashing issue? And does anyone have any ideas of how to fix it? I've tried changing my drivers and tweaking the intensity but nothing seems to work.

A key point to make is up until this afternoon it's been working fine for roughly a week. The only thing thats happened since it was working correctly (cgminer running for hours upon hours without crashing) is I've unplugged one of my hard drives (the one where cgminer is located), plugged it into another computer and back again.

Cheers

Hi, this software looks great. I'm just having a slight problem getting it up and running, I wondered if you or anyone here could help?

When I click "Start" the cmd window running CGMiner flashes up briefly but then closes. I have the correct miner arguments set and the relevant software installed (.NET etc).

When I click "Stop" CGWatcher tells me "I only have read-only access to CGMiner...". I think it could be to do with this? I am running both programs as administrator and as far as I can tell both have all the relevant permissions.

Many thanks

If the cmd window disappears right away, this is usually caused because an error occured. Double check the command line arguments. Make sure cgminer will run fine by itself first with the same command line - run it from a .cmd or .bat file or use the conf instead. Note that the command line argument to output to a log file(2>logfile.txt) will cause this with CGWatcher(I have a workaround for this - let me know if you need it and I will give details).

The permission issue might be related to the api-allow argument.



Hi JackBits, thanks for the help.

The problem was I had 2>logfile.txt in my miner arguments. Everything is working fine now.
