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

[kano]

I'm noticing after a couple hours of hashing, that every single Block Erupter USB I have running under CGMiner 3.1.1 with the --icarus-options and timings set is displaying Hardware Errors under Windows 7 64 bit.

Am I doing something wrong ?

2 things:

1) Yes they get errors.
If it's getting more than about 1%, you probably need to cool them down more and that should reduce it
My emerald gets between 1% and 1.5% coz it has no heat sink (ambient is low 20sC) - I'm not sure what to expect with sapphire
If cooling them down doesn't help, try again with the next version (3.2.0) - when it comes out soon - and see if that helps, there have been a few big changes, I rewrote a lot of the Icarus driver (and switched it to direct USB)
(and it calls them AMUs in the next version)

2) Next version (3.2.0) you won't need all the -S, current version (3.1.1) does of course

TYVM ! Looking forward to it. Thanks, you-guys, for all your work on CGMiner.

Are your changes already in the main git branch or are you still working on them?

Master git branch is ready for prime time on linux right now. We're playing to make sure losedows is okay before I release it.

Awesome.  My AMU device should arrive soon and I'll just directly try 3.2.0 on my linux box.

If it's not here yet, the official 3.2.0 will almost certainly be out before you get it

I'm very happy with 3.0 and not changing till I get an ASIC (maybe 2015?  lol).

Of CGminer.exe? It is already checked

Unzip the official binaries to your desktop to "cgminer" subdirectory.  Run it from there.

Same result

Your permissions are screwed, try a check disk.
If not who cares, you have a good work around. Next.

Check disk reports that no mistakes found! The 2nd part of your message is not clear to me. Please explain.
How do I fix those permissions?

[RedLine888]

Yes, it opens with notepad!
Contents of config file:

I said who cares like forget about it. Something is wrong with your windows but it doesn't matter, you still got it to work.

My windows is W8x64. It is a month old, not tweaked or smth likr that.
Just launched cgminer with .exe than put in url, name and pass it launched but could not create .bin files and crashed. I repeated the procedure with my old .bin files from 2.11.4. It works. Hashrate is bad but it works.

Also tried to launch BFGminer with .exe than put in url, name and pass. It launched but gives me: ocl 0: invalid nonce - HW error.

Catalyst 13.6 beta

[bitpop]

I wasn't being mean, I'm just happy we found a work around. Works prefect on my 2012 which is 8 but even more strict.

[FiatKiller]

FYI, just so you know... on the recent Windows OSes, you have to become "Owner" of a directory to access it by rightclicking to properties and then security tab and go in about two layers deep to change the owner to yourself before you can change permissions.

Catalyst 13.6 beta

Did you try downgrading to 13.1? Beta drivers are not recommended for mining.

Seriously, the support asking for here is: "How do I access a file on windows"
Can we avoid "how do I use a computer" posts for page after page thanks?
Waste of damn space.

i downloaded the https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/raw/master/Ubuntu_11.04_x86_64/cgminer-3.1.1a and i'm using xubuntu 12.10. I'll only need cgminer for ASICMINER usbs.

i'm getting this error :

Code:

./cgminer-3.1.1a: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

if i got it right opencl is for GPU mining, that i will not need. So how may i use cgminer or bypass the error? Thanks.
