SUGGESTION:
Could someone program CGMINER (I can write it too if you'd like) so that if all ASIC miners have disappeared, some shell script is run? I'd like to reboot if that's the case to prevent dead air time.
PS: I've been an OS/2 supporter and lover for a long time until IBM quit it. I still have shareware utils that I wrote under OS2. After that, I switched to Linux.
Many thanks, -turgut
CGMiner is pretty resilient when a device zombies. You probably need to find out why it's "disappearing" in the first place. The latest version of OS/2 is called ArcaOS which was release in May of this year. Check it out for nostalgia if nothing else  Thanks! The DEVICE itself is crappy -- Antminer U3. It goes zombie or disappears altogether once in a while.. Nothing wrong with CGMiner.. That's why I need a way to restart when that happens.. I even wrote code + hardware to power off and on the antminers at startup! Wow, ArcaOS - I didn't know that.. Thanks a lot  I did install regular Warp once under Linux Virtualbox, and it ran fine

Even so, the problem isn't in the CGMiner itself but perhaps in that particular combination of hardware or in the miner itself.

Hey all, I am dusting off my old rpi and gekko 2pacs to get back into mining. want to get more familiar with everything again before investing big bucks back into an S9 or two. So they are currently running fine on Cgminer, about 11-12 Gh/s each. My question is, and I flipped though a lot of these posts to find my answer and could not, how can I overclock these puppies?
I saw the cd in the read me file, and on the 1st sticky here: --compac-freq <arg> Set GekkoScience Compac frequency in MHz, range 100-500 (default: 150.0) so in cgminer Settings and enter cgminer.config then I enter --compac-freq <200>
entry not recognized
sorry not at my Pi so this is the best i could remember. any help is appreciated.

You need to start cgminer with the --compac-freq 200 option. Like ./cgminer --compac-freq 200 Or you save this setting inside the config file you use. Like this: { "pools" : [ { "url" : "stratum+tcp://connect.pool.bitcoin.com:3333", "user" : "USERNAME", "pass" : "PASSWORD" } ], "gekko-2pac-freq" : "200.0" }
Edit: I just realized, that you use the --compac-freq option. I think you need to use the 2pac option --gekko-2pac-freq.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Worked like a charm, helps when you have the correct command, and put it in the right place. Thank you

Hey Guys,
Can somebody guide me with this issue
I need to use my Antminer D3 to solo mine for a wallet on my PC,they are all connected on the same network I read here a lot of comments but I'm little bit confused,so please write the steps clearly as i'm not and expert
Thinks in advance
Your posting about an Alt Coin miner in the Bitcoin section. You should be asking for support from the manufacture or posting in the Alt Coin section.

Please, tell me what I need to do here.
[2018-01-02 00:10:12.738] See README.txt file included for help
[2018-01-02 00:10:13.048] You need to install a WinUSB driver for - BSC device 3:2 [2018-01-02 00:10:13.048] And associate - BSC device 3:2 with WinUSB using zadig
Well, let's see. It's just a guess, but I would suggest reading the readme.txt file that came with CGMiner and then install the WinUSB driver and associate it with your device using the Zadig utility.

Connected to s1.theblocksfactory.com diff 2.05K with stratum as user XXXXX Block: 5d1ffee6... Diff:677M Started: [01:44:34.463] Best share: 104
[U]SB management [P]ool management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit 0: AU3 0 : 225MHz 775mV | ZOMBIE Your best share is only 104 and the pool difficulty is 2.05k. So your not going to submit a share until your miner generates a share higher than 2050. Also your miner has Zombie'd so you probably need to unplug it an plug it back in. Make sure your using a Powered USB hub capable of providing the power your miner needs. I have no idea what that is for a U2/3. Your getting there anyway.

As you surely already have read in this same topic, this tool doesn't suppor neither CPU's neither GPU's. Wrong tool, wrong forum topic.

They're all in the top directory for cgminer but I fixed that now.

There's never been a binary for ARM. Why would you want that? I'm not aware of any ASICs in production today that have an ARM controller and don't come with a binary.

Total noob question. How does one update Cgminer in an Antminer S5? IMs appreciated, Im still learning so dont bash me too bad.
The cgminer in an antminer S5 is usually precompiled in firmware provided by bitmain and is based on an old forked version of cgminer. It is not supported by the official cgminer version and would be far from trivial to be supported and build a binary for the embedded controller of the S5. In short you cannot build the latest cgminer for S5. I built a temporary binary for the S5 a while ago which you can copy to the S5 here: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s5/But it does not stay on the device across reboots and is based on 4.9.0 code. If you are not having trouble with your S5 there is little to gain by updating the software anyway, accepting the shortcomings of the forked older version from bitmain. Except in the case of mining on p2pool (which I recommend against with any antminer because of their code problems), most of the issues with their version of cgminer are not showstoppers. I agree the above is true, I use the ant S5s still and noticed that my HW errors and discards are allot lower using the 4.9.0 binary and set queue 0

Hi all,
I wish I could say I read the whole 844 pages of this thread, but I don't have that time or patience. Please forgive me?
I have CG Miner installed on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.5 and a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04. The terminal window shows properly on the Mac, but in the Ubuntu terminal window, the approved/rejected notices show, along with the recent activity (5s, 1m, etc), but the HW and WU line doesn't show. Is there a configuration flag I'm missing? Something I did wrong in setup?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you're missing the curses dev library.

-ck, I installed libncurses5-dev and that didn't help. Then I reran the build command (sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config \ libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev \ libncurses5-dev) and was told everything was installed properly, but I still don't get the stats I see in the OSX terminal window. I've also restarted the machine a couple times. Uninstall and rebuild, or is there something simpler I could do? Thanks! EDIT: Images. https://imgur.com/PTCXPNYhttps://imgur.com/aFn3DpL
