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

[zOU]

Hello

It looks like the GIT repo has been disabled ?

The main site works just fine though so it's not a big deal

[Mikestang]

Note that cgminer reverts to 4.8 if it reboots....

This is unfortunate, is there no simple way to make it permanent?

This is unfortunate, is there no simple way to make it permanent?

I just verified this morning as I had to relocate my S5, and I can confirm it reloads cgminer 4.8.0.

I had to run again the procedure to update it.

I don't know where the bitmain source is located or what is the process that overwrite the binary...

[toptek]

anonymous? No
I'll probably send back the last BTC someone said was for the S5, one day - I've never done the S5.

Yea thanks i honestly  thought there was another reason , i normally don't say a  thing in you all thread but wanted to say ty as well for the update and agree Avalon stuff is a lot nicer , i hope they keep it that way , and  trump bitmain in every way , i kind  of got screwed over by bitmain but let go and refuse by any thing from S7 and up unless it's like S3s .They quoted me a price I went to buy it then they jack the price up and play hard noise , IVe sense let it go and Avalon came out to late with the A6 im saving now for the new stuff but Ive seen some A6's sells as low as 599 not sure how real the sells are or if it was a scam or not, i think on ebay believe or not . I'm waiting it out now. I use CK pool a lot more then i used to : .

you can even shorten the sequence :p

Code:

ssh 192.168.1.x -l root
cd /usr/bin
mv cgminer cgminer.bak
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s5/4.9.0-150105/cgminer
chmod +x cgminer
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart

So when I ssh to the device it asks for the password, which I input and it tells me "Permission denied".  What's up with that?  I know it's the correct password because I log into the gui  with it just fine.  Hmm...

default login is root/root - but default ssh login is root/admin

yes, we answered his question in the S5 thread also, so the information is everywhere

Good stuff !

Yup, got in with password admin, thanks.

My S5 appears to hash 10-20GH faster with the 4.9.0 real cgminer fork install, both in the gui and pool side.  The error rate also dropped from 0.04% to 0.03%, which is probably what results in the increased hash rate, so I would say that is a significant improvement.  I run the S5 at 400 freq.

I moved my miner around a bit today but I think I noticed a better hashrate too even at default 350Mhs.

I've just the modification again (I have it save in a text file so I just have to copy/paste it), and I'll monitor it.

The nice thing on the S5 is that it tells you which version it's running on the "system" page of the UI, pretty neat if you're not sure or if the system has restarted without you noticing

[Mikestang]

So one thing I noticed using 4.9.0 on the S5 vs. bitmain fork is that my fans seem to ignore the user defined setting box.  I have them set at 60%, but once I install 4.9.0 and restart cgminer the fans kick way up.  Is that because the fan speed check box is only recognized by the bitmain fork?

Yup, I posted a screen cap of mine in the S5 thread:

There is also a command you could type when ssh'd into the S1 that would tell you what version of cgminer was running, but I can't recall what the command was, nor do I know if it worked on anything after the S1.  It was listed on the github directions, but...

For details and installing: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1

It appears this repository has been disabled, is there an updated link?  I need to find the S1 update instructions again, thanks.

[zOU]

I was looking at the 1st post for an alternative, but it has only S2 an up, no S1....

I'll look in the morning unless you have an answer before.

I copied it here:
https://bitbucket.org/TheKano/cgminer-binaries/src

Seems that after 4 years someone didn't like the fact I had binaries there

Awesome, thank you for the updated link!  I still need to install 4.9.0c on my S1 next time I turn it on, it only has 4.9.0a on it (I'm going to undervolt that thing one of these days...)

Here's the command to see the cgminer version on your antminer when you ssh in, I just checked it with the S5 and it works just fine:

Code:

cgminer-api version

or you can also get the version in the system tab of the UI and also with:

Code:

/usr/bin/cgminer -V

any advice ?

Hello

What are:
- the OS
- the version of cgminer
- the type of miner

Have you tried running cgminer as SU ?

[wbrandsvn]

Hi CK, am a noobie and wonder when the dust payments will be transferred to my wallet. is there a trigger amount?

Thanks!

[zOU]

This is a cgminer thread, I doubt you're in the correct one.

I suppose you want to head to the kano.is thread.

Kano,
For payment dust payments, write to the PM ?

If it's too small, my answer will be ... you'll get it some time in the future.

Pretty much the only ones who have enough for me to manually do it for them, are those who didn't setup a payout address and mined with a sizeable amount of hardware or for quite a while before setting the payouts address.

If it's just dust, then the answer will be ... you'll get it some time in the future.

Is there any way to stop cgminer taking over control of my Radeon GPU fan?

Just upgrade to the current version of CGMiner.  You must have a really ancient version since GPU support was removed at version 3.8.0 years ago.  The current version is 4.9.2 which doesn't touch the GPU.

[os2sam]

Just found the link at the very start of this thread for version 4 - what type of coins are those for? ...snip... Getting a USB ASIC to actually be detected and run properly is hit and miss as it is!

Version 4 is for Bitcoin only, that started with 3.8.0, I believe.

4.9.2 is solid for current ASIC hardware that is supported by it.  Most ASIC's have CGMiner build into them.
