OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.10.0

[Mikestang]

New release: Version 4.9.2 - 12th June 2015

Excellent, look forward to playing with it.  Thank you!

Will the Antminer firmwares that have already been released (4.9.1c) be updated to 4.9.2 as well?

It's working great!!!
I even have an increase in performance from my even more dated hardware!!

 Thank you!!

I'll update them once I finally can properly make an S3 firmware.
The current S1/S2 has all the changes up to "Ant voltage isn't S1", just before the S3 code was added, so it wont make a difference unless your S1/S2 has a high --queue value

The code for S3 is all there, but I need to make an S3 firmware since the bitmain firmware has all the API and cgminer option changes and I'm not going to change all that in a cgminer branch to deal with the silly things they do.
Working on it ...

so im using a profit switch sha256 pool (nomp) every time they switch coins they send out the "disconnect" command. then my 2 antminer S5's crash in hashrate and take 1-5 minutes to go full speed again nutil the nest coin switch (which is usually every 10 minutes) is there any way to shorten the time between disconnect and reconnect? im using cgminer 4.9 on the nicehash firmware. I know nicehash uses extranonce.subscribe  . but most pools dont support this feature (wish they did since my hashrate never crashes on nicehash).

There is no S5 code in the official cgminer nor will you get there any support for altcoins on this thread so unfortunately you'll have to seek help from whoever maintains your unofficial fork of cgminer.

I don't come around this part of the forum often, but I need to ask a question that probably hasn't been asked in a LONG ass time. I've got a ZTEX quad, using CGMiner 3.1.1, and it complains the DONE pin doesn't go high for all four chips. I'm trying to verify it's in good working order before I put serious time into working with it, so getting a few valid nonces out would be great.

Is there anyway to change the pool strategy from the API? I'm struggling CK

I've made a test by sending a setconfig command to change the Strategy but I get a "Unknown config Strategy" from the miner and when somehow it's removing my pools.

Thx!

There is no API command to switch the strategy ... currently.

Is there any turn around for this?
Is there any possible way I can setconfig "load-balance:true" or something?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have the following miners combined problems,

3 x BXM
2 x BXF

the BXF goes once a day to "ZOMBIE" and don't make a restart (Hotplug ON), only manual Plugin by the USB HUB helps???

Have anyone these combination? I have test Cgminer 4.3.3 and the new 4.9.2 on my Pi1.

THX

You can put the image someplace accessible, like dropbox, and use the insert image tags and put the url between them.

You might check this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg10499888#msg10499888

Try "sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev" and recompile cgminer (--enable-icarus should be fine for your Block Erupter USB).

Thanks for the help getting it displayed

THANK YOU
I now have the display everyone shows

If I were to add more USB devices do I need to reboot or anything or just plug them in and watch them go?

thanks

Just plug them in.

P.S. Don't post repeatedly, just edit your last post.

Can I get cgminer to send audible sound like a beep when miners are reaching certain temps say 42c is normal so if the temps climbs to a set point it would give me a signal other then me having to hope I'm walking past and notice there off or to hot.

You write something that uses the API to check the status ...and act on it.

Just bought an Antminer U3. Cannot get it to run more than 30 seconds before the hash rate drops from 45Gh to about 6Gh. I'm using the latest build, as it seems to be the only one that works with it. my batch file is this:

cgminer -o http://us-east01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u  -p --icarus-timing=short --anu-freq 200


I change any of that and CGminer doesn't even open. I've tried using the basic bmsc lines that were in the user manual, but still nothing works.


What am I doing wrong here   Pretend I'm 5 when explaining.
