OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

TeckNet USB3.0 hub, BFL Jala 7.5GH, 8 BEs, Win7 x64, got zombied BEs few times. Was ok with 3.5.1.

Did you try experimental .exes in the temp directory? Some fixes there.

Tried, zombies with them too. All 3.6.x has this issue.

I can't believe it. I spend ages fixing a billion problems with windows for some people, and somehow the solution presents a problem in windows for someone else...

Try newer exes just uploaded in temp directory please.

Just started the new ones, working fine in the first few minutes. Like some other posters, I've been having random zombies for a while, 3.4.x IIRC, including with the previous experimental exes.
Looking good right now though, but it often takes many hours before the first zombie appears.

Thanks for working on it - nasty challenge!

Edit: 3 minutes later, first zombie just appeared. Sorry.

Run it in full debug mode storing the log somewhere until the zombies appear to see what it might be that provokes them.

i.e. start it with the extra commands: -D 2>log.txt
and send me the log.txt file.

Note that if, despite all the absurd extra code I put in, you are still having problems, it may not be code at all, so check connections, power cables, adequate power, OS etc.

Minor heads up, there is a newer version of zadig, and I have uploaded it to my website, BUT it contains the same version of the WinUSB driver so it will not change the performance or the behaviour of the drivers once they're installed/assigned.

I was hoping it would have. I want more programs to see my devices on windows.

I know, and I keep trying to isolate such things but no clear result yet other than - one of my machines ran 24/7 for weeks without a single anomaly, no zombies or crashes, on 3.1.something but two of my machines started to have random zombies on all versions from 3.4 on. I'm not saying cgminer is flawed - the later versions might have uncovered some previously unseen Windows bug, for instance, but the problems (for me) seemed to start after 3.1.

Because of this, I'm fairly sure it's not most of the things you list, but it could certainly be OS, which for me is latest Win7 64.

Gotta do some dirtspace things for most of the day, but I'll get a log Real Soon Now and also set a machine back to 3.1 and see if it becomes stable again.

Edit: changed to 3.1 from incorrect 3.3 in several places.

can anyone  help me out please,I am using cg miner ,I want to split my hashing asic power in two different mining pool but in one pool it will be 1 GHz and other pool will have the rest of the hashing power,is there any way do to do this.

Thanks.

Yes, you can do this.  Read the README document.  Search for the section 'QUOTAS'.

What i mostly miss in this mining software is central managed clients software where i can manage a client from one comuputer.
for instance, Like I have 10 client computers where all are in network connected to server, so I have on server an administration software to define when cgminer is runned on client computer with pre defined intensity. So in morning hours intensity is low when people work on computers and out of working hours intensity is high when nobody works on them. On administration software I can see a video card, temperatures, etc. for each client and can set for each client differend setting for differend hours. I will pay for that software like 3$ per client licence. I am soure many other wil do too.
I know many companies where computer are newer turned off, so why can't someone use it for mining at that time?
And we all knows that many use that computer to mine. Bitcoin is almost over but there are new currency which will go on. And script mining have some flaws, like dynamic intensity doesn't work well.
And I have permission from company ovner to use those 10 computers to mine after working hours.
So what I need is client software and administration software for client. Maybe is there someone which will do that?

Latest binaries are ok for last 4 hours for me. Still logging just in case.
By the way is that only me using --text-only to get proper debug.log?
That -D 2 > log.txt does not work in windows for me. Is there a way to log and keep console updating in windows?
PS. That was great to know about quotas

[guitarplinker]

So CGMiner isn't going to support the 290X and similar cards, correct?

Dealing with Windows can make anyone feel suicidal. He's obviously joking though.

Note that "-D 2>log.txt" works in windows as well, and does not need to be in text only mode. Note also there is no space after the 2. However the windows log file might not flush until cgminer shuts down due to the way windows writes to files so it may look zero sized indefinitely.

can we manually edit the config file and have it still work? V3.3.1

Of course. If you're lucky you can also hit restart and it will pick up the config changes and restart... though restart hasn't been entirely reliable for some versions (hopefully that will be fixed in the next version due out later today).

ok,thanks. can't hit restart. both my main and fallback pools are coming up unavailable. so i can either let it try every 15 sec.s or quit. Since i'm running ubuntu 12.4 i can't seem to upgrade to the newer versions. This was a case of "if it ain't broke..." Today it feels like everything i have is broke.

Some Mac users are reporting to me that the latest Mac OS X update, codenamed Mavericks (10.9), sees their BFL Jalapeño devices no longer working with cgminer 3.6.4 and 3.3.4 (the last release of cgminer in my GUI named Asteroid).  This is the only relevant error message, and it repeats every 5 seconds or so:

Code:

BitForceSC detect (253:2) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)

I'm still gathering info and trying workarounds, but if you have any ideas on what to investigate further I'd be all ears.  I heard rumour that the code that Apple uses to interface with FTDI-based chipsets has been rewritten for Mavericks from the previous OS version, but I'm not entirely sure I even know what that means or implies.

Will keep looking...
