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

[Ntrain2k]

I currently have 10 of the original R-Boxes running on cgminer. I'm adding 2 of the new 110 GH+ r boxes as well. Is there a way to set a frequency for the original R boxes and a different one for the new ones?

Thanks.

The easiest thing to do is run the new R-box ver2 on a second instance of cgminer, they will run side by side without any problems and if you need to make changes to the new ones like usual with new equipment, then you won't have to shutdown everything to do it.

There won't be a problem each of them trying to detect and run them all?

afaik you can tell it what devices you want to use in the command line

@ckolivas & @Kano:

I do not mean to stir any feelings between rivals (etc), but is there any plan to implement the UMS protocol for the hashfast boards? I've noticed significantly better stability when compared to the gwq based drivers.

If theres not, I'd be happy to try and implement it as a switch based option a la

Code:

--hfa-protocol UMS|GWQ

No development is planned for hfa since that hardware is considered end-of-life (I don't even own any of it any more). If you want to submit code with a pull request, you are most welcome to.

Too bad the developers chose to follow these asshats instead of support the community.   Great job cocklivious you assisted criminals!!!

Hey Viceroy. Welcome back. Sorry to tell you, but luke-jr was actually contracted by BFL for their driver, not me (nor Kano).

Please don't delete this post guys - it's just too funny.......

Worlds most inaccurate troll?  Unbelievable.

How to install the S3 driver for cgminer?

[camelot]

Prompt please. I work with BITMAIN ANTMINER U2 - 2Gh/s. But I have two devices.
Bat file:
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u bers -p password --bmsc-freq 0781
With one device works. How do I get two devices simultaneously.

--bmsc-options is not an option in the cgminer supported on this forum thread, neither is --bmsc-freq. Start again by downloading the official cgminer as linked in the opening post of this thread and then we can help you.

I thought it was pretty well known at this point, Luke-Jr was working with BFL and not you two.

[hurricandave]

Even if he mistakenly posted here instead of BFGMiner, those commands are still invalid for Antminer USB devices.

[pekatete]

Even if he mistakenly posted here instead of BFGMiner, those commands are still invalid for Antminer USB devices.

Those are actually commandline options for Antminer (S1 and S3), aka a bitmain cgminer and not supported in this thread.

If you are not monitoring the other topics you may have missed the formal announcement of the ckpool code to the public:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=790323.0

In addition, I've implemented support for the stratum extension suggest_difficulty in git with the new command line option --suggest-diff . Of course as the current git branches of ckpool and cgminer are the only two entities that support it, it may be a while before you're able to utilise this to your advantage.

Hi, i have 2 USB miner connected at 2 USB port, and I want to run the miner in separate detached console running CGMINER, what is the correct sintax in linux?

Thanks in advance W_M

[camelot]

I have two BITMAIN ANTMINER U2.
Bat file:  cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool0.btcdig.com:3333 -u camel@camel -p xxxxxx
One device works fine. What you need to write a bat file to connect a second device?

[7queue]

Quickie for kano - did you ever get around to fixing the p2pool problem with your S2 update image?

Peace 

No.
But now that my pool is up and running http://www.kano.is/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.0

... I'll hopefully find time this week to get the S1/S2/S3 driver sorted out and ask everyone who has one to point it at my pool

Is this driver sort out for cross compile target of MIPS, I am interested in the S1 specifically ??

The only one I can get to work is your 4.3.2a for the S1

Every night at midnight, my cgminer stops working with this message:

Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
Failed to create restart thread

Is there a setting i'm missing or some way to help it create a restart thread?
Thanks!

That would suggest your operating system is not allowing cgminer to create any more threads meaning that somewhere in there far too many threads were created in the first place. I can only recall this bug being in cgminer years ago so it would be on an old version, or it could happen with the current version if you have hundreds of hotplugging and unplugging devices due to them being unstable.
