You will melt the factory psu with those settings, be sure to use an adequate psu.

2 things always do, replace psu and usb cable.
I forget sometimes not everyone does that. sorry

Oh yea, I forgot about the (crap) usb cable they ship with.

2 things I always remind people of with the U3, replace psu and usb cable.

I also tell people who haven't bought one yet to not bother, they are generally crap.

Please don't read this as "are we there yet?", but I was wondering if there is an ETA for the S2 and S3 cgminer updates?  Even if it's months out, I was just curious. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded cgminer-4.9.1.windows.zip from http://kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ but can someone tell me how to use it proper?

I have put my pool in the conf like


      "url" : "url1:8332",
      "user" : "user1",
      "pass" : "pass1"

but i dont see my GPU when i open with

cgminer -n


Kind Regards

CG Miner doesn't support GPU's.  You really don't want to mine bitcoins with GPU's anymore, anyway.

You can spend $20 on a USB stick miner that will run circles around a GPU, and it will work with cgminer.

S2 keeps being 'almost there' then I find another problem with it

It would seem that the last S2 firmware bitmain released was a screw-up for the S2 since it was changed to suit the S4.
Not sure if anyone else noticed that or had issues with it
I didn't touch the S2 back the end of last year - I was working on setting up/running the pool so I've no idea if anyone else had problems.

Anyway, S2 will be done soon (hopefully the next few days)

I've updated the AntS1 binary in my binaries git hub of 4.9.1c cgminer including an IPv6 fix.
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1

I've also put up a new AntS2 full firmware of current git cgminer 4.9.1+

Hello, how to install cgminer in openwrt? as easy as i install bfgminer, I can get from repo:
src/gz bfgminer [suspicious link removed]

Hello, how to install cgminer in openwrt? as easy as i install clone miner, I can get from repo:

Not sure what you mean?
The cgminer git etc is listed on the first post of this thread.

I have a BFL SC 25GH miner and in 4.9.1 when cgminer starts it states that there were no USB devices detected. Yet, when I run 4.9.0, the miner is detected and works fine. Is this a known issue with 4.9.1 or is there something that I may be missing?

Thanks!

One might assume it was removed from the support list of devices at the time of the new compile, do you have the ability to complie your own binary?

Why would one assume that?

- BFL SC asic support

Are you running Windoze or Linux?

If Windoze search back in a few pages and find the new cgminer.exe for 4.9.1 and try it.  Don't know if it will make a difference for you or not but that got my Monarchs working.

Hello,

I'm running cgminer 4.9.0 on a raspberry pi, and I've been having problems. Seems that the raspberry pi basically crashes after an hour or 2hours. I thought it was some memory issue or being overheating somehow, so I tried to have it rebooted every hour (but apparently is not working... I assume it's because it crashes before restarting).

I read online somewhere that there could be a memory issue, but my logs didn't show anything relevant (sorry, I have no fancy logs to show off). I thought it was just my raspberry pi not having enough memory, so Today I actually received a new one, the Raspberry Pi 2 Quad Core... 1GB ram... and I did my setup as follows:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev -y

wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/4.9/cgminer-4.9.0.tar.bz2
tar xvf cgminer-4.9.0.tar.bz2

cd cgminer-4.9.0/

./configure --enable-icarus
sudo make && sudo make install

cgminer --icarus-options 115200:1:1 -o stratum+tcp://useast.blackcoinpool.com:2222 -u me -p y

On my original setup I had cgminer 4.9.1, but seems that the result is the same...


And I added cgminer to /etc/rc.local so it starts on every startup (as I was having it so many times I decided to automatize that), and then I tried to restart it every hour by adding '0 0 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r 5+' at the end of the file when you use `crontab -e`.

I have no idea what can be causing it to crash/freeze, let me know any flags that I can use for better logs or maybe this version is not stable?

PS: I'm using the Rockminer New R-Box (2 of them)

PS2: It seems I have the same issue as this guy https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=55370&p=421883 , except that I don't see nothing in my logs...

Thank you

A few things:
Get the latest cgminer 4.9.1 not an older one

My old RPi has run for literally years without problems - DrillBit and AMU Icarus USBs

Try using Arch instead of raspbian: http://www.kano-kun.net/

No idea if there are problems with the RBox code (I didn't implement the code running in there) but an RPi is too slow to run an RBox so it wont hash at optimal speed - especially not with 2 of them - RBox created crappy hardware using the Icarus interface that was not designed for much more than 5GHs - no idea why they would still be producing that hardware, we pointed it out about a year ago that it should be doing USB properly (I have a post about how it should be done here on the forum from a couple of years ago )

Also, that looks like altcoin mining ... and that's not something we care about supporting since it is bad for bitcoin.
