Solo mining with GPU? Did someone fall asleep for 2 years? I've been mining alternate coins. Someone will answer my question seriously or is there only one clown? |

Solo mining with GPU? Did someone fall asleep for 2 years? Unless something changed far more recent then that mining using scrypt should still be profitable. I don't mine scrypt so I don't know for sure. I don't know for sure but if your difficulty provided by your alt-coin wallet wasn't detected properly then you would submit shares and they would be less then a block. I wouldn't think you had that many close to a block since the last version was posted. I am guessing as I have dealt with neither. Likely someone knowledgeable will have a better idea. As far as the facts go though just watch hopefully a block level difficulty share will come up and you can see if its being rejected. Oh and check your CGMiner difficulty against if there is a source for diffictulty like blockchaininfo for bitcoins. |

Hi!
I am just updating cgminer and i have onli rejects, R=18500 in 3 hours! Working on gpu, solo mining.
Is it normal?
You're solo mining. Only a block solve would get accepted. But in the earlier version was all good... The scrypt and GPU mining code is unchanged now for 6 months+. Likely you have changed something else. |

Yikes, I'm about to look into getting cgminer or something to mine all the coins that CGWatcher supports with it's profitability calculator, sounds like I'll be running into a whole world of pain if some of them require more exotic settings. Why do I do this to myself? Ah the fun of tinkering, he he.

I am typing this at the command line to enumerate devices:
Code:
cgminer -d?
It shows devices with indexes 0 - 5:
Code:
[2013-08-26 17:57:27] Started cgminer 3.4.0
[2013-08-26 17:57:30] Devices detected:
[2013-08-26 17:57:30] 0. GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series (driver: opencl)
[2013-08-26 17:57:30] 1. GPU 1: AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series (driver: opencl)

[2013-08-26 17:57:30] 5. AMU 3 (driver: Icarus)
[2013-08-26 17:57:30] 6 devices listed
I then launch cgminer from the command line with:
Code:
cgminer -d 0 -d 1 etc. etc.
Then, I launch another instance to use the remaining 4 devices:
Code:
cgminer -d 2 -d 3 etc. etc.
When I do that, I get this output from cgminer:
Code:
Command line options set a device that doesn't exist
And this all works as expected with bfgminer.
Can anyone help please

-d command I believe is only for GPUs. Looks like you want to separate your GPU and block erupter mining instances. So, per the README.... instance 1: use --usb :0 (this will disable USB devices in this instance and only use your GPUs), then set your normal GPU settings (gpu engine, memclock, etc) instance 2: use -G (this will disable all GPU devices for this instance and only use your USB devices) |

Use cgminer-nogpu for asic/usb/fpga devices and normal one for GPU mining using "-d x -d y -d z --remove disabled" switches. For GPU you can also use my gpu+scrypt build from my skydrive (no usb/asic/fpga support). I`m mining this way  |

FWIW, I've not been able to run a version of CGMiner higher than 3.3.1 for longer than 48 hours driving Erupter USB's on Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8 64 bit. 3.4.0 just died on me across two rigs. Any version that uses the new USB drivers eventually crashes on me with mwsock.dll causing the error under Windows  Have there been other reports of this perchance ? |

Yeah, same here.. same setup (Win7 64bit).. never really checked the crash/dump though to confirm that dll. |

Weird, -8 is an overflow error coming from libusb. Not sure if it's a libusb or operating system limitation. I'm quite sure I've seen others use a lot more than 50 in other threads, but not sure which particular operating system/hardware. |

I upgraded to 3.4.0 a few days ago for gpu scrypt mining. I'm still getting unrecovered stratum disconnects. It feels like fewer, but it's at least a miner a day. Is there anything I can do to prevent stratum disconnects or to restart if cgminer hangs on one?

That almost sounds like a pool or internet connection issue, not a cgminer issue. If you are running Windows, I would suggest cgwatcher. It will monitor your instance and restart if things go bad. |

Is anybody running more than 50 Erupters successfully with either Windows 7 64-bit cgminer or bfgminer? (latest versions...) If so, how do your erupters appear in Device Manager?

CGMiner seems to be randomly closing. I'm running cgminer-nogpu on Win 8x64 with a BFL Little Single and 2 AMUs. It runs in a batch file that loops, and the batch file keeps restarting it, so it is closing nicely, and I haven't lost any downtime. I think it's done it about 4-5 times since I updated to 3.4.0, which was about 8 days ago? The newest one was this morning, after I had left for work. It had been running for about 2 days solid before that.
It never did this before. The AMUs are pretty new. Is it the AMUs causing it, or upgrading to 3.4.0, or both?
