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

[Mikestang]

I am not sure I have really found 3 blocks in 8 days.

Been answered many, many times.  You either rent out your hash somewhere that someone mines alt coins with, or you mine on a pool that mines alt coins.  You did not solve a bitcoin block if your best share is less than 79G.

Hi guys! CGminer works like a charm! Just one thing, i'am unable to compile it with --enable-bitfury command. I'am trying to run it on newest MAC OS X, 1000 issues with compiling... is there a way to download version with compiled driver for bitfury?

Have a nice day!
Best
Bart

Hi there Guys

Wanted to ask if you got experiences using cgminer with the Antmineru3 and also using higher votlage like this:

cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:0.54 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u DavieT.1337 -p x --bmsc-voltage 0830 --bmsc-freq 0982

Would be great to hear of any experiences. I also have an cfg which claims the miner to 70gh/s via unit. I think this is quit nice
If anybody is interested in this config just pm me

regards

Those commands don't exist in the official cgminer which this is the thread for. If you wish to discuss voltages with the official cgminer please use the correct command line options. If you wish to discuss bitmain's fork, use the bitmain fork thread for support.

Thanks, i've ready it carefully but i still can't find solution for this. My bad if i missed something, is there a way to get cgminer with preloded driver for Bitfury?

You didn't see the OSX download link from Karin at spaceman.ca?

Anyone managed to execute / compile / install cgminer on FreeBSD 10.2?

[tkalfaoglu]

Hi there. I have 3 identical devices, all hooked up to a usb hub, and that hub connects to a port on the Fedora 22 computer running cgminer  4.9.2.

When it first started, the cgminer was seeing all the devices, but now, without changing any configuration,  it says that one of them is inactive.

Bus 2 Device 6 ID: 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller Active
Bus 2 Device 5 ID: 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller Active
Bus 2 Device 4 ID: 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller inactive

and therefore, it only sees 2 devices running and the mining has slowed down by 1/3.
I tried USB  Enable,  Whitelist, etc, nothing helped.. Power off/on was tried many times as well.

The 3 devices look OK physically. Power supply LED's lit, device LED's lit, fans running.

What else should I check?
Thanks! -t

The OS saying there's something wrong, means you have to look into why the OS says that, nothing to do with cgminer.

My guess would be one of: the hub, the cables or the available power was borderline
(and now with one not working, there's more than enough power for the other 2)

hello,

What is the difference between the official cgminer 4.9.2 and this one:
https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer

it seems it is specifically designed for antminer devices, but is there more details ?

Thank you

There's has lots of bugs - that are not in my antminer version - and have been fixed for years - but they're too stupid to realise they should work off my master cgminer version.

[rkinnin]

i just picked up an s5. 

The cgminer version is v4.8.0. 

What is the best cgminer version for this box that I should be running?

[Mikestang]

Not sure if this is correct, but here's a link to 4.9.0 for S5: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s5/

There's a more thorough update for the S1 and S3, but I can't find a similar link for S5, so hopefully someone who knows more can chime in about the link I posted above.

Hi guys - I've been working on getting (2) BFL Monarchs back online.
Using Win7 64, the OS sees them fine and I can switch between FTDI and WinUSB connections.
So, I've been attempting to get CGMiner to work.

I can communicate with the Pool, but get nothing but hardware errors.

I've switched out every cable, switched between USB 2/3.0 (no hubs used).
Has anyone seen this before?  Can anyone help?

I actually wanted to have nothing to do with BFL and their monarch and said so when Josh offered to pay me to implement it.
I don't support a scam once I know it is a scam.

Code:

[2016-02-17 17:59:54.432] BitForceSC detect (8:1) Warning unknown firmware ' 1.4.50x00' using Ver2

I only had one version of the monarch supplied to me by someone who wasn't BFL who had a lot of them so we made a driver.
I never had any other version of it and I'm not interested in getting another version since it would be effort without reward to help people make money.

While bitcoin was a community project with lots of people mining at home and lots of people buying small amounts of hardware, I considered it OK to be underpaid and work on cgminer as a low paying or free project. Some people even donated BTC. Yes it was almost always slave labour rewards, but working on mining code back then was fun.
I no longer do that for free or slave wages, so don't ask.

Hello,
what can I do when I get: "Share is about target"?

Hi there,

I have been working on a project and am using BFGminer as a stratum proxy. I am told CGMiner has/had this functionality but I don't seem to see any documentation for it or how to use it in such a manner.

I have an array of undervolted S1s (had the resistors swapped). I am working on a crafty project with them that requires me to run a local stratum proxy. I am using a RPi 2B to as the server box. BFGMiner is just too unstable and I have never had a problem with your app so I thought I would ask.

Thanks for the help.

CGMiner is mining software.  That's probably whats in your miners.  ckProxy is what your most likely looking for.

Yeah I figured there was another package name I just was not finding. Thanks, it was driving me nuts, I work at Google and couldn't find the damned info I was looking for LOL. Should've thought to just ask. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer.
