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

[-ck]

Does every USB port have an ID that can be optained via cgminer in order to see which of your ASIC miners is broken?

No,they're assigned randomly by the operating system.

[kano]

I'm not sure if someone is going senile or what,

BUT a reminder about cgminer:

NEVER set "no-submit-stale" : true,

like this guy did here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1876330.msg20829032#msg20829032

Set it to: false
(or don't set it at all)

[DrakonX]

And why not? Don't know what "no-submit-stale" means.

I try start CGminer with mining some coins,and command line dont show my hashrate,I dont know why,I have radeon r4 graphics.

Because cgminer hasn't been a GPU miner in many years. It only controls bitcoin mining ASICs.

someone please tell me the best os for mining

someone please tell me the best os for mining 

Linux, though it doesn't matter these days since most miners come with or expect images on controllers like the Rpi (all running linux.)

Raspberry Pi? sorry i'm newbie

Yes.

Hey thank for the great info....any updates coming

Hey thank for the great info....any updates coming

There's virtually nothing left to do in the mining client space, only improved drivers for existing hardware and drivers for new hardware. As the vast majority of drivers are now maintained by the hardware manufacturers themselves now, and the biggest manufacturer (Bitmain) don't contribute code back to the master cgminer code, that means there really is nothing to do for them.

[Moddak2]

I will setup cgminer and try again mine some coins for windows.

I don't think windows needs any coins.

Sorry if these are dumb questions:

In looking at my cgminer for my lottery ticket miner, i can see:

Code:

Accepted 54d53ab5 Diff 773/90 GSD 0 pool 0

I get that share is proof my miner is working on finding a block, but I have a couple of noob questions:

1) Is "54d53ab5" the nonce the miner submitted, or is part of the hash?
2) Does the diff 773 refer to the hash produced by the submission above or something else?

Thanks, just trying to understand this a little more

54d53ab5 are the first non zero characters in the hash of the share you discovered.
Diff 773 says what diff that particular hash share was, and 90 is the current pool share diff so since your share diff was greater than or equal to 90 cgminer showed you that it's submitting that share. There would have been many other shares below diff 90 and they never show up on the display  since cgminer only shows you shares that meet your target pool diff.

CGMiner does NOT support Video Cards as it is a Bitcoin mining software and GPU's are useless for Bitcoin mining.

[Moddak2]

But GPU mining have for other coins not only bitcoin
