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

[-ck]

Im using cgminer with my KNC JUPITIER

is there anyway to temporarily disable mining within the software?

Going to Devices in the settings only lets you disable a core but there are 500 cores each.

No there isn't.

Is it possible to make Cgminer 4.9.1 runnning on Raspberry Pi ? and how ?


Thanks

Just compile it as per the README
Nothing different to compiling on ubuntu ... except it takes about 20minutes from autogen to executable on an RPi

I don't know what "compil" is. i'm not a linux expert... only windows.  Do you know any tutorial for it ?

Thanks.

You realize that the RPi uses linux, not windows, right?

I know that raspberry minepeon use archlinux
i know what compile mean but i don't know ho to compile cgminer to work on raspberry...

... that's why is said "as per the README" ... you have seen the README right?

If you need lessons on how to use linux, then that's not gonna be answered here ... try google to learn about computers.

how to update cgminer in the raspberry pi, i have compiled script installed but having dated version

[opentoe]

I'm looking to upgrade my cgminer version on my multiple C1's that I have. I saw the directions for the S3, but that was a patched/compiled file that you just needed to copy over, which I tried anyway and it didn't work on the C1. Is there a way to update or at least temporarily update the cgminer on the Antminer C1 or is this all through Bitmain? I don't think a new firmware is coming, and I like to keep the mining SW up to date. I'd even be willing to "donate" a little bit for a working pre-compiled/patched cgminer file if that can be done? Of course I know everytime I power off the unit I will need to copy the file back onto the system, but it is dooable.

Thanks

What is the C1 a variant of? S3? S4? S5?

[daz_pp]

Has anyone here compiled latest cgminer  for the Cointerra boxes?
I really would like to upgrade the software but I have no clue on how to cross compile myself.

Yea, it was very similar but they water cooled it. It has four hashing PCB's  with 16 BM1382 chips. That's why I tried to use that S3 patched cgminer file but it would work.  Same PCB's as the S3+. Is this something you would need to do, or the manufacturer? Unless there's a floating patched updated C1 cgminer file out there, I haven't found it.

I could even try to compile it myself. I'm pretty good in the shell.

That didn't really answer the question but I asked around and it's a scaled down S4 I hear. Try the S4 binary I have.

I can't compile the latest git master branch.

Code:

hashtable.c:30:21: fatal error: lookup3.h: No such file or directory
 #include "lookup3.h"

Running

Code:

find ~/src/cgminer -name 'lookup3.h'

returns nothing, but I see the include was added in the latest jansson updates (dd2738163dac0c974ceb8e05f03083d53f3c7e93).

Hi

I'm running 2 cointerra miners and as the company cointerra has now filed for chapter 7 (bankruptcy) they will not support the hardware any more.

As of this I want to update the cgminer software on them. Currently running 4.3.5 on them.
I downloaded the source-tarball for 49.1 and want to cross compile it on a ubuntu X64 server and then move the binary over to the beaglebone controlling the boxes.

I have googled alot and can't find a good instruction on how to do this. Also tried to copy the source to the box itself and compile it there but it wouldn't even unpack from the tarball.
I got the error "tar: invalid tar magic"

So, does anyone have a good instruction or information on how to cross compile cgminer for me?

Right now I can get it compiled running on x64 but that's not a working solution for me.

Cross compiling is not for the inexperienced. I suggest you take the top off the cointerror, pull out the usb cables from the beaglebone controller and plug them into any pc running linux. The device works fine from any controller running cgminer.

Also missing hashtable_seed.c. I was able to pull it from the ckpool source to complete the build.

Don't hide your worker details. Promote them!  If someone uses them all they're doing is mining for you.

Everyone should mine on Slush using worker bigbitmine.donate

Every little helps!

Gotcha! I just blotched everything out, because that's what I have seen others do on these forums when they post pictures of their Antminer GUI... Here it is again, with my worker details, as you can see pool #1 and #2 are exactly the same...

http://s23.postimg.org/ruyc74m1j/Found_Block.jpg

So, yeah, I have no idea what is going on... then again I don't know if "LSTime" means "LastShareTime"... that was just a guess...

~Mike0029

I think you suspected right in the first instance. The "block" share was found on slush ..... but it was stale, i.e submitted after the work was timed-out (or after someone else had already submitted the same share)!

On the stale share being logged as a found block, I believe that is a bug in cgminer (or it may indeed be by design!), but the best place to ask that question would be in the cgminer thread. I say it may be a bug because despite clearly not being logged as your best share (and is definitely higher in size than your best share), it has been marked (and logged) as a found block, despite it being stale. So yeah, head over to ckolivas' thread and throw that his way ....

edit: Very strange as you seem to have good connectivity to the pool, aka only 1 stale share in 2 days + ...... very strange indeed that it had to be the found block that turned out to be timed-out!

I was told to bring my questions over here, so:

I still don't fully understand mining, so pardon my ignorance if this has been answered or addressed already, or if this is in the wrong thread. Thanks for any insight into the issue. I use Slush pool as my primary BTC mining pool, and I currently run 2 underclocked Antminer S1's on the pool at 130 GH/s. As far as I know, Slush pool DOES NOT merge mine any alt coin of sorts, so this is where my problem arises... I know that the Bitcoin network difficulty is at 47427554950 and I would need a "BestShare" greater than that number to find a block. One of my Antminer S1's report a "FoundBlock" and this isn't the first time this has happened at Slush pool for me, however my "BestShare" is only 66,379,851... My main questions are: Why does this happen? Does Slush actually merge mine and just not tell the users? Is my Antminer S1 just being glitchy? Does the "1" under "Stale" explain this? I did a little bit of research and the only altcoin that I found that can be merge mined with BTC AND has a difficulty below 66,379,851 is i0coin... Did my miner find an i0coin block, because it is possible to "merge mine" with Bitcoin? Here is an image for reference:

Thanks again for any help!

Slush only merge mines namecoin and that sort of merged mining wouldn't show any different diff to bitcoin. Cgminer never discards shares even if they're stale unless you enable the --no-submit-stale feature. On the other hand, bitmain's forked version of cgminer with their antminer driver throws out stale shares whether you ask it or not, so that's probably what happened. Being a fork, it could also be they screwed up the code too and it reports false positives.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't seem to find anything and I am at my wit's end. I'm trying to set up 2 Antminer U2s on Windows 7. When I run cgminer with proper settings, I get one green light flashing on the device and no feedback in the command prompt other than that it couldn't find any devices. Sometimes, if I unplug and plug back in, I'll get the miners mining and it's really lucky for me to unplug the two and have both working when I plug back in. When I do 'List all devices' I get:

[timestamp] USB init, open device failed, err -3 you don't have privileges to access - AMU device 2:4
[timestamp] See README file included for help
[timestamp] Icarus detect <2:4> failed to initialise <incorrect device?>

Those 3 messages refresh every few seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to install an ASIC miner (USB)

Plug in your device. After a failed automatic installation go to:

http://zadig.akeo.ie/


1. download the program
2. run the program
3. select your device (list all devices), choose your ASIC and install the driver (WINUSB)
4. you can check your device manager if the ASIC is listed under USB
5. check with commandline cgminer  -n in standalone
6. run a short cgminer test if you can see a hashrate
7. if point 6 doesnt work try another USB ports
8. run cgminer 4.7.1

edit:

9. use a powered usb hub you will pull more power that your usb port on the computer can supply....
