I have an problem with the cgminer and th U3, anyone have an idea?

Looks typical of the U3, it's a steaming pile of shit and it's started failing for you.

THX, also no chance to a successful run?

THX, also no chance to a successful run?

Let it cool down, try a lower voltage and then start lowering the clock speed on each startup. You might find a speed where it works again, or half works, or it may never work again. They're just not very reliable and don't have much of a life expectancy.

THX, i will test at next ry with this settings:

"au3-freq" : "200",
"au3-volt" : "750",

Just a quick compliment to CK, Kano, and the other cgminer devs. I recently rebuilt my mining rig based on a Raspberry Pi and a few Asicminer Block Erupters I still had. One compilation with appropriate flags later, and cgminer was happily chomping away and telling me I haven't found a block yet! It's pretty impressive to have software continue to work with ancient hardware in an environment as fast-moving as bitcoin. Major props and thanks!

Hi folks. In expect of bitcoin core v0.13 with segwit, will the cgminer be updated in part of solo mining? Guess that there may be also a changes in RPC part of bitcoin core.

Unlikely. The demand and utility for plain cgminer and the need for solo mining to work on it these days is somewhat pointless so there's no desire on my part to provide said update unless someone wants to contribute code pushes it to git and asks me to pull their request. The only new hardware coming out that will use official cgminer code will be upcoming avalon hardware and that will be running on low power controllers that won't be capable of solo mining in any meaningful capacity.

Hi. I am installing cgminer on my Pi and im following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8kN9GDsB0U . I'm having some trouble when I run the "sudo ./autogen.sh" command. I get an error Any suggestions?

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~/cgminer $ sudo ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: 6: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found

We obviously have nothing to do with that video.

Read the README and it will tell you that you didn't install everything you need to install.

thanks for sharing, runs good. Will update tonight as I'm not known with this software.

[SmallVern]

Got it set up on my rig, thanks!

Anyone know how to send the API command to change miner frequency?

I'm trying sending the command "setconfig" with params like this "bitmain-freq,400", but it sends me an error config not found.

That depends on the mining device and if there is implemented code to do that.
If it's someone else's driver they added to a fork of cgminer, I'd doubt it's been implemented.

What should I do when I get this error?

Code:

Probably an incorrect libusb version rather than the libusb code we provide ...
Or an OS that doesn't support the USB locking we use ... or ... ?

Hello CGMiner!!!
I have mining "AntMiner U3"
I download and going mining on site very good and income bitcoin normal.
Now problem, what's error and problem. Maybe virus or not or others.
I download zadig and driver install good. But not receive, I don't know what's problem. How to fix error.
See Text document "logfile.txt" below.
Thanks, wait answer

The best way to fix any problem with the U3 is to throw it in the trash; that's where they belong.

I don't know anything about a U3, but, it looks like the WinUSB driver isn't assigned to it.  So with the device plugged into your USB port rerun Zadig and  verify that WinUSB is assigned to it.  If not reselect/reinstall WinUSB.

good afternoon everybody

I have a concern about  cgminer ver 4.9.2

i run it, and after a day or so it shows as using over 1000 meg or ram memory

currently it has been running 9 hours and taskmaster is showing 285.6 meg of memory used

is this normal or

here is my command batch file text

ive blanked out my server and password for my protection

also, is there any way for having it stop and restard in the batch .bat file every 5 hours?

@echo off
cd c:\
cd cgminer
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://xxxxxxxx:3333 -u xxxxxxxx -p x

Thanks in advance

ososober
