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

[techman05]

I'm still having issues with cg since 4.4.0. 

TRied to add or remove pools goes ok untill you click save .conf.

Cg then crashes (windows tries to solve issue) close it down, and  when restarts, the .conf is empty.

The workaround is to manually edit the .conf, but still a little frustrating.

Thanks

Are you using cgwatcher with this since that opens a temporary config file and unless you also disabled it theres a beta feature to keep pools from being changed so maybe either of those are the issue.

Turn off cgwatcher, run cgminer and add pool and save. Restart cgwatcher.

Anyone know what a lin device is. one of my antminer u2s is being picked up as one. I only know since when I unplug it the lin dissapears. Probably another device I have to chuck.

Thanks and sorry for the multiple posts. I have no idea how far ckOlivias will check back and hopefully this will keep our thoughts clean.

LIN is a rockminer R-Box. Don't ask me what LIN stands for, that's what the sample rockminer driver decided to call it and I just left it that way. There was an issue with 4.4.0 which would falsely label U* devices as rockminers (because all these goddamn manufacturers don't use any kind of identifiers and use the woefully outdated 15 year old USB1.1 chip that costs them a few cents instead of something newer). The main reason I released 4.4.1 was to try and not wrongly identify U1/2s as rockminers. What cgminer version is it that you're running?

I don`t use cgwatcher as yet, but i`ll give it a go.  Thanks

4.4.1 and so far its only been 1 device so far and it won't mine in this state. It seemed to start happening after I pulled a potentialy bad u2 from my hub ( really low hashing and hot to the touch while good ones stay cool and average 22 shares per second if I look at it right)

I thought it was released to try to tweak the U devices so they wouldn't dissappear.  I'm leaning toward a rock miner next month so I hope that gives you less grief.

Also if the U devices are potential cgminer grief, do you have any advertising page to whats been good to you so we can keep getting support from you. Drillbits been good but I won't see a potential new product from then till the fall my luck.

Hi
Why I obtain a lot of ZOMBIES each day? with terraminer
Energy?. How can I fix that?. What should I buy to solve that?
Thanks

[tuanvie]

I intend to try this, but on a VPS,
if need great specs?
please give me an explanation, I am still confused to start

The U devices are actually pretty decent and should run fine, your problem is new to me but downgrading to 4.3.5 will get you one that works fine on them.
As for future devices, dunno... the future world of amateur mining doesn't look rosy.

You are confused and in the wrong place and wrong time. Computers used to mine bitcoin on their own in the distant past, but no more. Computers do not mine bitcoin with cgminer. Cgminer is used to run specialised hardware that you plug into your computer.

Any luck getting the Hashfast voltage tweak working for the Habanero board? I know you had given some feedback to JakeTri about it and I know you are traveling. Just curious. Thanks!

sorry sir,
I think this same discussion with cgminer like web-based monitoring, because I really need the info for this,
My confusion for cgminer.conf configuration on windows to use cgminermonitor.com

Do you have mining hardware?  if so what ASIC'(s) do you have?

Is there an API call for cgminer that includes the pool credentials, including the password?  On an Antminer S1/S2 particularly.  Somehow the web ui gets the password, and I'm not seeing how.  "pools" seems to return everything except the password.

Thanks.

[mdude77]

Also, how do you use the addpool API with a blank/omitted PW?  Every combination I try gives me an error, or takes my value literally.  ie,

addpool|http://192.168.0.194:3333,userid  <------ error
addpool|http://192.168.0.194:3333,userid,  <------ error
addpool|http://192.168.0.194:3333,userid,''  <------ accepts, pw is now two single quotes
addpool|http://192.168.0.194:3333,userid,  <------ [there's a space there] error

Thanks.

ckolivas,

Sometimes when i run cgminer 4.1.1.0 i get a msg saying attempted reset got err<0> libusb_success  Then it will disable one of miners saying it hasn't hashed it over 67 seconds.

Is there a way to disable this feature?  Thanks.

By the time it attempts to reset the usb it has already failed and is simply sending the usb device a usb reset message - i.e. it isn't the reset that's the problem. It has already failed and is trying a reset to get it going again - which works sometimes for some devices.  Disabling the reset won't change the fact the device has already failed, it will just fail one minute earlier.

This makes sense to me.  Thank you for your time and Explanation.

Kano before you build could you check something for the antminer s1 for me. I was recommended to try multiminer so I didn't have to change my api but the current kano version or whatever's been tweaked elsewhere leaves me with an access denied message in the program. I'm not sure exactly what it uses to communicate with the antminer but I'm hoping its a easy fix to make.

Thanks

My S1 build is standard cgminer API with the extra fields the S1 web interface wants.
If some other program can't talk to that, then that program is broken.

Just a little point about cgminer

ckolivas 10hr remote work on the Mofarch driver:

Edit: it's in git of course

...
The problem is that I am using an already written Makefile so don't really want to mess around with it.  I have yet to find out how to pass any switches to the build, if it is actually possible, when cross compiling.

The Makefile is in the feed.
Did you not look in there when I pointed it out?

I'll do a new S1 tonight ... and put it up for testing (and run it myself as well of course)

FYI it's broken - I've added some fixes but more work is required - will get to it soon..ish.
I'm wondering if the S1 break is related to the S2 break also ...
