I compiled 2.6.1 for Windows and I've got it running now with 2 BFL Singles. It looks like it tries to restart now if I pull the power plug on the Singles. It's a little touchy if it tries to restart while the BFLs are still booting up (the first time I tried, only one of them restarted). On a second try they both restarted, though.

Hi! I have 1 7970, running cgminer 2.6.1 for Bitcoin smoothly. When I try it for Litecoin, it just crash... cd cgminer-2.6.1-x86_64-built

Even if I halt and start the machine, it doesn't work...  I'm using CGMiner 2.6.1, Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits, Catalyst 12.6 and SDK v2.6. I appreciate any help! Thanks! Thiago |

New release - version 2.6.0, July 29 2012
- Limit total number of curls recruited per pool to the number of mining threads
to prevent blasting the network when we only have one pool to talk to.
This is the fix for those who keep asking if the bug with failover-only mode where it sends out lots of requests has been fixed. But of course, run 2.6.1, not 2.6.0 since that has the silly fake sick bug. |

I had a GPU hang/crash long ago that seems to have damaged one of my 3 GPUs.
After that crash I could never get cgminer to auto set the intensity, engine and memory speeds on this one GPU (though the other 2 are fine). I can omit the values for the 3rd GPU in cgminer.conf and cgminer will start that GPU fine with defaults I=4, M=1000, E=800.
After that I can manually use the screen to set I=8, M=250, E=900 and it will run great.
But always, always if I try to put those same values in the conf file and have it set them upon starting it always hangs the machine. I'm a bit tired of manually setting the values whenever the machine restarts.
Anyone recognize why this happens or ideas how to fix?
(btw that GPU is more fragile too. It won't run as fast as the others. It used to need a small voltage bump to even come close.)

(btw that GPU is more fragile too. It won't run as fast as the others. It used to need a small voltage bump to even come close.)
Start cgminer with --api-listen --api-allow w:127.0.0.1 Then have something that runs after it's ready: java API "gpuintensity|2,8" java API "gpumem|2,250" java API "gpuengine|2,900" Obviously the script you have those 3 commands in and how you run it will vary depending on OS and OS version. Also e.g. on linux you can: echo -n "gpuintensity|2,8" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo echo -n "gpumem|2,250" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo echo -n "gpuengine|2,900" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo N.B. YMMV  |

YMMV That's an interesting way of fixing it up. I haven't used the API yet but I may try that as a workaround for now. Thx. edit: Yup. That worked nice. I added it to my startup script as a background job with a small time delay. It's odd that using the API works but conf settings don't. Thx again. |

Only with GPU. Time for a new bounty for a CGMiner with Litecoin CPU support, maybe using Pooler's code?! If I compile CGMiner 2.6.1 with enable-cpu, the Scrypt hashrate will be equal/comparable to current minerd hashrate? Anyway, I'll test it latter... |

cgminer 2.5.0 and 2.6.0 (2.6.1 is not yet tried) occasionally hangs after showing "long poll detected new block".
My OS is win7 pro 64bit, and gpu is HD7970 oc to 1050/900. Mining at btcguild. Here is the command line:
c:\cgminer\cgminer --kernel diablo --auto-fan --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 900 --gpu-memdiff -150 --temp-cutoff 90 --temp-hysteresis 1 --temp-overheat 84 --temp-target 78 --gpu-threads 1 --queue 1 -I 10 --retry-pause 1 --url mine2.btcguild.com:8332 --user user --pass pass --url mine3.btcguild.com:8332 --user user --pass pass --url mine1.btcguild.com:8332 --user user --pass pass
p.s. mine2.btcguild.com and mine3.btcguild.com has same ip address, will this be the cause?
Sorry, I missed the output line "GPU 0 stopped reporting fanspeed due to driver corruption"

The latest build seems to mess with something on one of my machines. After about 2 to 4 minutes, the temperature for "BFL 1" disappears, and it starts saying error: temperature celsius or something of the sort. It also starts saying send work reports: errunknown! It then goes down to 0 hashrate. It (seems) to always be the same Single. I'd blame the Single itself, but no previous build does this. It's also present in BFG's 2.6.1. Using Win7x64, and if it matters, the operating host's environment is 1x7970, 3x5850, and 7 BFL Singles in one prompt.
EDIT: Seems my other machine has fallen to this as well, it just took longer to happen. For this one, it's BFL 2, and it gives the same errors:
error: get result reports: OK
error: send block data reports: ERR:UNKNOWN!
error: send work reports: temperature <celsius>
error: send block data reports: temperature <celsius>
After the <celsius>, it will actually have a number that seems to be the correct temperature. But the temperature is not shown above, and it won't show any hash rate, and it's not being declared sick.
