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

[kano]

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

It's probably because you're using so many different varied devices. If the memory plateaus and stops rising then that's to be expected. If it keeps rising every day then that's unexpected and inappropriate. If that happens, remove one type of device at a time and see which one was responsible for the memory rising. Most likely there's nothing wrong, it's just cached ram usage.

The official cgminer only mines bitcoin for the last 4 years. Seek help in the altcoin mining section for unofficial forks of cgminer that still mine other coins.

Remember the days of cgminer or bfgminer & cgwatcher, oh the good ole days. Now most updates in GUI have made everything plug & play, don't miss the command line of mining years one bit. Somewhat like all software over the years, Windows or Mac & Linux (Linux greatly changing over the years, most people in the world don't even know there's that many operating systems).


//Still testing with low end GPU's was a bit of fun, but quickly overtaken by new hardware & or new technology
