With cgminer is there any issue with setting one scrypt based pool/coin as the primary and difference scrypt based pool/coin as the fail over? Say LTC as the primary and NVC as the fail over. Thanks.

Wow you didn't even make it 3 lines into the README?

ckolivas i found a bug. When you start cgminer with a conf file and you change, say, the GPU engine speed of one of the devices, and Write Config file from within cgminer, it doesnt save the updated engine speed. It will save the speed that it originally loaded as.

That's intentional because otherwise it would dynamically write whatever the GPU speed was at the time which is far more dangerous.

Would like to request a feature. If you launch with -c filename.conf then change that to the default filename when going to Write Settings.

USB does, yes. But not the devices in question.

If that's the case, then I suppose I see no real benefit to using libusb either.
cgminer already implements functionality that uses the advantages of libusb

...
...
Another is the usb API stats
All devices have statistics recorded about all I/O to them, including the initial control transfers that the serial-USB code doesn't even know about
Yes, this is made possible using libusb. Too bad it's completely useless.

Just thought I'd point out this little gem of utter stupidity by the retard Luke-Jr

So he's been hashing away on a BFL SC for how many days now? Edit: 6 or 7 days!

And ... the latest problem has been a supposed 500ms latency issue with I/O

Pity they chose the crappy miner code to test all this on - coz cgminer (my USB statistics) already reports all this through the API on a per command level. Min, Max, Total, Count ... (average = Total/Count of course)

So I guess they would have known about this how many days ago if they were testing with cgminer instead of the 30 year old crap code used in the crap clone?

Anyone else noticing cgminer not correctly controlling and/or reporting vddc correctly on 79xx cards?  

Example on 7950:
Afterburner - Set GPU to 1100core/1600mem @1100mV
CGMiner -- using conf file with GPU set to 1100core/1600mem @1100mV

"gpu-powertune" : "20,20,20,20",

Afterburner and trixx report that mV is set to 1100.  GPUz never shows it above 1.080v.  And setting it to 1.250 in afterburner (shows 1.250 in afterburner, trixx, and GPUz shows 1.180'ish under load).  There's also a HUGE difference when measured at the wall... so I'm convinced that it's cgminer that's not correctly reporting the voltage..

I'm on the latest beta drivers currently (13.3B3), but have tried stable (13.1), same issue.

I'm mining altcoin, but I'd be surprised if that was related (??).. ?
If there's any additional info I can provide, let me know.

Edit (more detail):
On Win7x64, using cgminer-2.11.4-windows from the apps/cgminer on github.  (Same issue on 2.11.3).
Confirmed with one other with 7950s, so it isn't just me.  Wink

cgminer simply reports back whatever the ATI Display Library (ADL) says the voltage is, and can only modify whatever that ADL allows.

VERY old long running known issue ...

The ATI ADL library, written by ATI of course, decides what is allowed.
If you send a change, to a value it doesn't like, it will say OK, then change it back to the default.
Go discuss that with ATI ... if you think it's a problem Smiley

How can I put the "--device|-d <arg>" parameter in a config file?
Say I only want to use devices 2 and 3 for mining.

I tried "device" : "2,3" but that didn't work.

Hi guys, I'm trying to mining LTC using 2x5870 with this line:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -u xxxx -p x --script

The command "--scrypt" aren't accepted by cgminer!

the output is: [2013-04-07 12:51:40] cgminer: --scrypt: unrecognized option

Then i tried with cgminer --enable-scrypt, but the output is:

cgminer: --enable-scrypt: unrecognized option

Even if the command "--enable-scrypt" is on the README file!

Thanks, i solved (i have to add "--enable-scrypt" after the "./configure" command)

but now with this line:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -u xxxx -p x --script
i get a very low hash speed for 2x5870:
(5s):58.75K (avg):58.34Kh/s | A:2  R:0  HW:0  U:1.1/m  WU:144.2/m

It seems that cgminer are using CPU rather than GPU, How can i fix?

You need to find which platform your gpus are, e.g. 0,1,2 or 3. cgminer.conf platform cmd. Example:
Code:
"gpu-platform" : "0",

This might sound crazy... but is there a way to know if you're getting invalid information?  Or known drivers/GPUs/?? that don't report back correct info?
If so, putting unknown rather than incorrect information might be cleaner.

I was unaware of the issue (Did I miss it in the "No one but sephtin ever read's me")?
Doesn't sound like a major overhaul... feature request perhaps?

Both of them appear to fail on *nix, which I'd prefer to use... I actually completely gave up on Linux,because cgminer incorrectly reported 1.250, and thought they weren't appropriately setting voltages.
I then switched to windows, and because afterburner adjusts and shows voltages correctly... I thought I was ok, until I started seeing cgminer reporting back 1.250... so I gave up completely and just started setting configs for 1.250 and overclocking (to get as much hashing as possible to compensate as I could), as it seemed undervolting wasn't possible with the cards I had.

This isn't the case, and it's simply being reported incorrectly by cgminer.  At least I know now... 1.250 vs. 1.100 has been a significant cost on utility bill.

Anyway, now that I know, there's a very good chance I'll get back to linux (yay!).
I'm good, and glad to know that this is known.
