I am not sure I can copy-paste from cmd line. But in words some results -
1. When I start cgminer directly without .bat it still quiet for a while. I see that cgminer is connected to the pool but there is no section with usb device settingsand nothing happens in sense "accepted/rejected/duplicate/etc."
2. When I start with .bat file from previous post it still quiet as well, but after a few minutes starts to send messages Libusb attempting to reset and libsub Success every 5 seconds. No more information.
3. If I start by entering full path to the .bat file into cmd line it says - "cgminer.exe is not an executive file"
4. If I start with batch "cgminer.exe -n" to get information about devices i see found usb device 0; bus 1 (and this is the one that match my u3).
There are no error messages or "failed to..." stats.
Maybe it will be helpful to set the WinUSB to all listed devices from the zadig's dropdown menu? I do not go to use this laptop for other works than mining and hope that changing all usb drivers from current to WinUsb will not affect adding or moving files from usb-sticks and back.
Looking for solution to get at least screenshots of cmd. Will be back with pictures soon )))

In the dos box go to properties and check the quick edit option. Then just select the text and copy it to the clipboard.

Unplug and replug your miners. 3. If I start by entering full path to the .bat file into cmd line it says - "cgminer.exe is not an executive file"
You must have your path wrong. Maybe it will be helpful to set the WinUSB to all listed devices from the zadig's dropdown menu?
I would not do that. Just do it for your miners. How many miners are you connecting to WinXP. XP has a limit of 12 or 13 devices. |

Well, since it has not been clearly stated. Did you install the Zadig driver, then, unplug the device, then, replug the device, into the same USB port? CGMiner will not see the device until you have reset USB by unplugging it. Some need to take the extra step of removing power while its disconnected to completely reset. Once you have reset the device, double check the driver properties before launching cgminer.

I did reinstall zadig driver, unplug, plug again and run cgminer with command "-n". Cmd comes up with next -
C:\Documents and Settings\cgminer-4.9.2-windows>cgminer.exe -n
[2015-10-13 14:13:02] USB all: found 8 devices - listing known devices.
USB dev 0: Bus 1 Device 1 ID: 10c4:ea60
Manufacturer: 'Silicon Labs'
Product: 'CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller'
I did check usb-port settings with plugged in the same nest usb-stick first and then with U3 by AIDA64. The results are different...
Usb-stick appears on the first port with correct settings (USB 2.0/highspeed)
U3 appears on the last port and settings are USB 1.1/fullspeed
That's strange.
Also the results from PC Wizard 2008 look very strange - I found U3 connected but with wrong usb settings
<<Type : Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Number of ports : 2
USB Port 1 :
: No Device
USB Port 2 :
: Silicon Labs
: CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller

USB Version : 1.10
: VEN_10C4,DEV_EA60,PRT_00
Class : Vendor Specific
Max. Packet Size : 64
Max. Power : 100 mA
Open Pipes : 2 >>
Actually, I wonder for which reason my laptop has 5 (!) PCI-USB host-controllers, 4 standart with 2 usb ports (as it is physically) and 1 extended with 8 ports - two from which are busy with camera and generic C-RW...
There is also a copy of my conf file -
<<<
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:443",
"user" : "*******",
"pass" : "*******"
}
]
,
"au3-freq" : "225.0",
"au3-volt" : "775",
"no-submit-stale"
}
>>>
The .bat file is with the same settings
I still not able to get a copy of messages from working cgminer's cmd window, it starts with the message of "fatal JSON error in configuration file" (the same file on another machine works perfect), then "no hotplug usb devices detected", then 5-6 minutes it stays calm and after this pause come LibUsb Errors reset/success...

Never got a fatal json error before. Hopefully someone else can chime in on that one. Good Luck, Sam |

I would suggest that much of your difficulty may stem from the device and not cgminer, per se. Do you have any other mining devices you can try? |

I use U3 on Mac desktop with OSX and Oracle VB with Windows XP... and it works perfect - no dups, no stales, all the day about 62-63 GH/s. I also have non-static IP and cgminer reset U3 everytime my IP changed.
The problems appear when I move U3 to netbook Lenovo S9. Hardware is good enough for one U3, but its configuration and cutted bios make me crazy... I think the problem is in the netbook and BUS structure which I cannot change without extra soft or full BIOS... I do not understand why the same settings are OK on one machine and useless on another... All USB ports with plugged devices are USB 2.0... U3 recognized as 1.1 (((( I do travel a lot and like to take my toy with me, that's why I need to set cgminer on the small netbook instead of the desktop.

Greetings -ck & kano, Wasn't sure where to ask, so thought I'd try here. Are there any plans afoot for one of your legendary firmware/binaries for the S7, a-la the S3? I'd love to use them on p2pool, but the stability/hash rate is crap/unstable with the borked bitmain software.....  Thanks for all your work guys - top notch  |

Hi kano, A little birdy told me that Yoshi was going to contact you about the S7 actually - maybe drop him a line to remind him? He does forget things sometimes....  |

Hi kano, A little birdy told me that Yoshi was going to contact you about the S7 actually - maybe drop him a line to remind him? He does forget things sometimes.... I'm wondering why is Bitmantech hiding the dirivers/cgminer source code for the newer miners. The dirivers/cgminer source code for AntMiner S5 was the last one released to public. Maybe Bitmaintech is hiding something, or does not wan't for the drivers to be ported back to S5 (from S5+)? Since cgminer is licensed under GPL V3 I would expect Bitmaintech to release their modified code publicly, since they are selling it in a commercial product. |

Since cgminer is licensed under GPL V3 I would expect Bitmaintech to release their modified code publicly, since they are selling it in a commercial product. I couldn't agree more. I have no idea why bitmain don't just work closer with the cgminer devs, allow them to code the driver etc for their hardware & integrate it into the main cgminer branch. That way everyone can contribute & be able to update their bitmain gear easily to the latest & greatest cgminer version. Bitmains firmware has always been terrible & their cgminer fork really sucks the big one - it simply doesn't make any sense why they refuse to cooperate, it can only be beneficial to everyone if they did. Then again, bitmain do have a history of not "towing the line", both as a company & as a pool, so I suppose it's to be expected - but it does grind my gears. Vote kano & ck for president.  |

No I did not Some fucking moron has confused legit mining software with trojans packing ancient versions of cgminer as the innocent bystander. Unfortunately getting someone ONTO this list is easy and getting off it is annoying. FFS... Trying to resolve this is almost futile... Talking to "google" is like SETI. If I get a response it will be a fucking miracle when everything is done on such a grand scale without any human involvement. If this keeps up my only choice will be to drop windows support entirely. The worst part of this by far is that google is now actively blocking the only official download site: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer from its searches so they're unintentionally leading people to sites that might actually contain malicious versions of cgminer instead. This is a disaster. I've removed all windows .zip versions from the site now, leaving only the .7z versions since by default windows wouldn't be able to extract those versions unless you also install 7zip in a desperate attempt to get the malicious warning removed. Here is the discussion trying to get someone to help resolve the issue but instead I only got the usual level of "well bad luck" type response: https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/webmasters/TjHFe7gjBS8/Qu1xw1LQcR4J |

Your github page shows up top on all my search engines, but not your website http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/And you're right, google are showing numerous dodgy sites for your software - unbelievable! Edit: Apparently, these guys handle suspected malware sites for google & a few other search engines: https://www.stopbadware.org/request-reviewGive them a go |

I've bashed their request page repeatedly and had the same kind of ignoring from them. EDIT: The basic problem is there is no way to appeal against files that are flagged as malware. All the official channels for review have no scope for you to argue that case. |

Yup, Google are a law unto themselves. But it's strange that it's not a blanket ban, which is usually the case. I get the feeling there's more to this than meets the eye....... I don't know what to suggest - apart from a mass of email complaints from all cgminer users......now that would be something |
