Thanks ck 
Going to try on mingw after finish installing mxe.
mxe make process already run for 3 days but still not finish 

[techman05]

Just make sure you've got pleanty of ram and hardrive space for mxe. I had a 10 Gig virtual drive setup and mine stopped when it somehow filled it. Mine took alot less than 3 days with those requirements filled

Nice, i already set 50G on virtual box, hopefully it's will enough 
I only run them 12 hour a day, that's why it's take so long. Now i will run them 24 H until finish

Hi any body here knows where do can i buy CGMINER ASIC in singapore and how much each

Thanks.

Which one you need, cgminer or asic?
cgminer is the software & it's free.
If looking for asic, there is many manufacture https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=456691

Tidak pasti apa yang anda maksudkan tetapi cuba menggunakan google translate jika bahasa inggeris anda adalah miskin.
Saya menganggap anda benar-benar bermakna peranti ASIC perlombongan yang bekerja dengan cgminer.
Cukup banyak mana-mana peranti ASIC - lihat senarai dalam post di atas.
Sudah tentu teks ini telah dicipta dengan google translate juga
Juga ambil perhatian bahawa pautan di atas mengabaikan fakta bahawa kebanyakan pembekal akan merobek anda - harga mereka adalah di atas apa yang anda akan peroleh.

Not sure what you mean but try using google translate if your english is poor.
I presume you actually mean a mining ASIC device that works with cgminer.
Pretty much any ASIC device - see the list in the post above.
Of course this text was created with google translate also
Also note that the link above ignores the fact that most of the suppliers will rip you off - their price is above what you will earn.

And in case you don't speak Malay
不知道你的意思，但尝试使用谷歌翻译，如果你的英语很差。
我相信你的意思采矿ASIC器件，与cgminer工作。
几乎任何ASIC器件 - 参见上面的帖子列表。
当然，这个文本是与谷歌翻译也创造了
另外请注意，上面的链接忽略了一个事实，大多数供应商将撕裂你了 - 他们的价格高于你能挣到多少。

Off topic, but the translation from English to Malay done poorly by google translator

Edited: my own problem, disregard 




I've got a problem with API command addpool. It looks like it always forces username to lowercase. It looks neat, however when using P2P pools and using bitcoin address as a username this is quite a problem.

Version I'm using is cgminer 4.1.0 (embedded in Terraminer IV). I do not really dare to try to fix this on my own and recompile as it might be tricky to compile for their embedded linux.

Are there any workarounds?

No it doesn't.

(also note that whatever Terraminer does to cause this, we don't in cgminer)

thanks Kano, I thought I tracked it to cgminer, but was a prob in my own code :-) Great soft!

Doesn't really make sense since if it can talk to it, it will mine on it.
If it can't mine on it, then that would be coz it can't talk to it thus it can't tell it to turn the led off.

It is possible to enable/disable a device using the USB menu. I have sometimes slow nanofurys because of several reasons. To find them I disable and wait. Then I try to find the cold one. If the LED would be switched off, it would be much easier.

Disable doesn't currently turn them off, it just stops sending them work because the init sequence is involved and once they're running I try and not visit the init/shutdown code as the driver design assumes it will only ever be done once and prefers to just drop the device if it fails and lets it be hotplugged again if need be. I can revisit it.

actually I think we're talking about two separate features (that are missing in that sense) :
- Identify - the LED can be controlled independently of the device' power; Just flickering the LED would be sufficient for what rgr_rgr wants;
- power-off/on - main "power switch" (if we can call it so) within each NanoFury can also be flipped. This might be helpful when testing for possibly overloaded hub without having to physically remove the device.

Hi Guys,

I see the latest Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is out of beta & has now been released - was just wondering if you guys have tested cgminer with it yet?

Peace.

cgminer should be operating system and version agnostic enough that it just "works" without any problem, detriment, or for that matter, benefit, on this newer version (if compiled for it). As per usual, ~3 months after a new ubuntu is out I will change to posting binaries for the newer ubuntu.

Nice one, thanks for the info. I'll hold back upgrading my rigs until you post the binaries for the newer ubuntu then, just to be sure.

Hello guys, you have https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/API.java example where is cmd request for this type of answers

Code:

Answer='STATUS=S,When=1398176665,Code=9

but what the right request for the json formatted answers command = "" ? Try to understand this explanation but i can't

If the request is JSON (starts with '{'), it will reply with a JSON formatted
response, otherwise it replies with text formatted as described further below.

Try to send something like this

Code:

command = "{summary}";

but got

"Msg":"Invalid JSON"

Update: Just found surfing internet

Code:

command = "{\"command\": \"devs\"}";

Ok i see.

I think i found a little bug. When you get reply it's white space in the end of line and JSONsimple have exeption like Unexpected character in the position N (end of line). I fix it by deleting last element from this string and parsing by JsonSimple is ok now. But i guess it need to be fixed. I'm using cgminer 3.7.2.

The sockets sends a 0x00 on the end.
It's there on purpose - it marks the termination of the data.

I have to keep an eye on it, but I noticed cgwatcher was saying it was loosing api control of cgminer 4.2.3 which was the last one I found I was using and have now updated to 4.3.

It's listed like this

Code:

[4/24/2014 8:08:58 PM]       API access lost at 4/24/2014 8:08:58 PM!
[4/24/2014 8:08:58 PM]       Full API access became read-only access at 4/24/2014 8:08:58 PM!

I didn't see some kind of api re-established message as I restarted and them both

Was there any tweaks to the api in this newest update?

I'm now using cgminer 4.3 with cgwatcher 1.3.8

edit:
  Still seems not to be working . I'd just like to make sure command haven't changed recently for api commands. I'm going to go post over on cgwatchers page and see whats going on.

Hi guys,

Is someone able to assist me with an API issue I have?  Searching this mammoth thread has unfortunately not revealed an answer.

Basically I'm leasing my rig via LeaseRig.net, which is fine for the most part, but I had an issue today where the client setup 2 pools to mine from (primary and backup), both of which eventually went down.  Meanwhile CGWatcher saw the drop in accepted shares and restarted CGMiner.  This would have been fine, however the issue then became that CGMiner then paused during startup, waiting for a pool to become available before attempting to commence mining, but it appeared that the API wasn't started and /or listening while the app was in this state.

At this point there was a catch 22; the API was down due to CGMiner's partially started state which was due to the pools being unavailable, but because the API was down, the remote client couldn't change the pool setup...

Is there any way for me to get around this situation?

Cheers.

I was poking around the README file when I noticed what seems to be a missing line:

Code:

  --with-system-libusb    Compile against dynamic system libusb (default use

Basic *nix build instructions:

It seems there should be another line continuing the parenthetical comment on the --with-system-libusb line, but there's nothing there.

That aside, I was wondering what the list of compile-time options is that you use for creating the official binaries? That might be handy to include in the README as well. My goal is to compile a binary that's almost identical to the official binary, but with one driver tweaked a little to my satisfaction.

Many thanks.
