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

[juhakall]

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.

This is already possible using the --default-config option.

Looks like chrome has 2.11.4 listed as malicious?  I got a warning after I downloaded it.

Never heard that one before.

chrome? It now includes an AV? and it's as stupid as most of the windows AV programs for detecting cgminer rather than the viruses that can put it there? Sigh.

Yeah, that is very lame:

I have two "Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC with Boost 3GB" cards and I'm running cgminer currently. Bitcoin is a complicated and in-depth topic that I'm not too familiar with. And neither am I well versed in mining. So I would like some input on the settings I'm using for two cards. I disconnected the CrossFire ribbon cable, and I disabled CrossFire in the Catalyst Control Center. With an OC from 950MHz core to 1100MHz, I'm using the following:

cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u worker -p pass -I 9 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1425 -v 1 -w 256

I have MSI Afterburner installed to manage the fan speeds relative to the temperatures.

Does what I have look fine? The machine is a dedicated miner.

A couple thoughts:

- lower the GPU memory to 900.  I don't think you'll be able to do this with cgminer, you'll need to use MSI afterburner.  It'll make it run cooler and use less electricity.
- no need to specify vector or work size.  cgminer is smart enough to know what's best for your 7970s

I believe cgminer will default to -w 64 which is best for 7970's.

Thank you very much for your help and input.

I've just edited the settings as follows:

cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u username -p password -I 9 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 900

I set the Memory Clock to 900MHz in Afterburner before running cgminer with the above settings. Does everything look good now?

edit: getting 650 - 670 Mh/s on each card.

That's about the right speed for a 7970 at that engine speed.

Sorry - I'm no good at teaching people to read - especially when they don't bother to read the README ...

Code:

To configure multiple displays on linux you need to configure your Xorg cleanly
to use them all:

sudo aticonfig --adapter=all -f --initial

Who knows what else you've (not) done

Lastest ubuntus don't need xorg.conf

Does this recipe applies anyway?

[Luke-Jr]

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?

Too bad you have no clue what you're talking about, eh?

Hello

i have a small problem with my CG miner.

My System: ASRock Z77 Pro4-M
Intel i5 3570K
XFX HD7950
Win7 64 Bit
AMD APP SDK 2.8
Cataclyst Driver 13.1

Following Issue: I want to use this PC also as an office workstation. Therefore I don't want mining to cause an input lag on the screen. My idea was to work over the IGP of the CPU while mining with the GPU. No I set the onboard Grapics as primary grapicsadapter in bios, but after booting the cgminer only detects the slow onboardgraphicsport. I also used a dummy plug for the 7950 to imitate a second monitor. What am I doing wrong?

Best Regards

KJ

Hello!
If I try to add --thread-concurrency command, cgminer doesn't works:

is there an api call that resets stats/shares? same thing as pushing "d" than "z". If not can you add one?

[FreedomCoin]

i do not understand how to run cgminer.c in the terminal. i get permission denied and when checked to run as executing file as program then i get a bunch of errors including "syntax error near unexpected token" and "adl.c command not found"

i cd to the dir and ./cgminer

how am i suppose to run this?

There is a README file in the directory that you need to read.  You have much to learn young grasshoppa.

thanks for the tip Viceroy but i have read it... the only cgminer i find is cgminer.c and it does accept commands as the documentation suggests.
