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

[cameloid]

I still run a couple of Antminer S3's with cgminer 4.9.2. I would like to upgrade them to 4.9.10, but unable to find a precompiled binary for this Atheros MIPS-based platform. Did anybody already do this?

I am trying to look for a good miner application or tool that I can use to earn bit coin. Right now I am using prominer and it is actually hard to earn bit coin and you will be needing at least 0.005 before you withdraw the coin. So I'm gonna keep reading forums and feedback which one will be able to help me earn money. Because with the prominer I dont have to invest money it's an app that I can use and just leave it. Prominer will be on his on mining bitcoins.

What Bitcoin mining application you need to use will depend, somewhat, on which Bitcoin Miner you have.

So, what ASIC mining hardware do you have?

[cameloid]

If anyone is interested in this, I've just built cgminer 4.10.0 for the Bitmain Antminer S3.

- Based on the latest cgminer 4.10.0 from git
- Statically linked with the latest libcurl 7.54
- Built with gcc 5.3.0

Hashes just fine on my unit so far.

I'm scratching my head a little here I wonder if anyone can help?

I got a couple of USB miners to tinker around and get my head around things before I invest more.

I got awesome miner which loads cgminer for my asic, but I believe I Should be getting 1600mh or more but I'm getting 300, I'm guessing I need to add in the --bmsc-freq 0781 command somewhere but I can't work out where to add it in awesome miner.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

What USB Miner do you have?  What Operating System are you using?

You'll need this option. Start cgminer with:

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://your_pool.com:port -u username -p password --icarus-timing=short --anu-freq 200

You will find a frequency table here on pages 4 and 5 (ignore the first pages, they are outdated). 200 will run your U1 at 1.6 GHash/s, 250 with 2.0 GHash/s etc. There is no need to bother with frequency hex values when using the latest cgminer.

Not sure how to set the option within the 3rd party software you mentioned (Awesome Miner), however it is not needed. The U1 should work with plain cgminer on a Windows machine (just install the WinUSB driver as mentioned here or follow "Step 3" and "Step 4" from the outdated guide linked above).

Thank you for that information.

I'm getting this error when I try that.
cgminer: --icarus-timing=short: unrecognized option.

I tried to download from here http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ but it flagged as malware, can anyone confirm this is the correct link? the 4.10 version?

It's the correct link and definitely not malware. The icarus timing feature is irrelevant today and you shouldn't be using it.

newbie here.
i m running cgminer with 5 gridseed asic usb miners on a raspberry
the raspberry can recognize all my 5 miners but the fifth one doesn't look like accepting any mining task?
if u see below, the A , R , HW, and WU are all zero on GSD4 miner.
any one know what the issue is and how can i fix it
any suggestion is much appreciated

Thanks, I've now tried with and without the icarus command, it seems to make no difference.

What I can't understand now is why the speed is still at 336Mh/s regardless of the speed figure, I tried 200 and 225, I believe I should be getting 1.6 and 1.8Gh/s at those settings.

There is no gridseed nor altcoin support in the official cgminer so you must be running an unofficial fork of cgminer which means you need to seek support from them.

It's seeing it inappropriately as an asicminer usb stick which did 336. Try a powered hub, pull it out and put it back in a few times and see if it initialises differently.

Looking at pictures in google, I believe I have an asicminer USB. I thought these were U1. Thanks for the clarification.
1Gh/s between the 3 of them.
$0.03 a month
I wonder, what others crypto will this run? Just sha256? Just bitcoin?

[silverkamote]

thank you bro. ill try to install and use it my windows 10 pc. hopping that i can mine bitcoin on my own. how much bitcoin in can mine in  a day 24hrs? im planning to buy also a spare pc just for mining and then using a jumper for the electricity.

I have the above output. I think the "connected to" is a bug in this version
as the connection to the local bitcoind server works fine.
And I'm not sure about LP (longpolling), but the bitcoind I've running is the
latest git version, so IMO it should have LP available.

Btw, what do the outputs MH0...MH10 mean?

Please help me because I do not know what to do anymore.

I made you a small video with CAMTASIA and you can see it from here; https://streamable.com/44t8f

If you can not see it then you can download it from here; https://ufile.io/fjdd3

That way you will understand my problem well. I've just put everything you need to know including the cgminer version and my video card.

I hope so much that you can help me

I look for answers as soon as possible

Thank you

I think video cards are not supported anymore in latest cgminer.
My tip: learn it first with a cheap USB stick miner (333 MH/s) --> configure with the parameter --enable-icarus
The method is similar with the bigger machines.

I think video cards are not supported anymore in latest cgminer.

No need to think about it.

Video Cards have not been supported for years now.  Please read the top post, or the readme that comes with the software.
