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

I'm mining YAC at 300khps.  Should be getting ~16 blocks per day and I was before.
What do you mean "are you using getwork".  I'm guessing if I don't know the answer is no?

Typo?

Not a typo.

Why would I be needing to run as root even after changing /dev/ttyUSB0 to 777?

Code:

pi@raspberrypi ~/bin $ sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 
pi@raspberrypi ~/bin $ ./cgminer-3.3.0a  -n
 [2013-07-15 19:59:34] USB all: found 4 devices - listing known devices

cgminer no longer uses ttyUSB0 so you're changing permissions on an interface cgminer doesn't use. See the relevant readme instead (FPGA-README or ASIC-README).

I'm trying to run cgminer on my netbook with my usb miners. I compiled cgminer 3.3.1 tarball as its only 32 bit ubuntu.  It mines but I'm getting the one line summary instead of the full screen. How can I get the full screen?

But the more important question ...
Why Yozora

I not understand, Yozora? Mikazuki Yozora?

Read the output of ./autogen.sh or ./configure that says you don't get a TUI cos you didn't install curses ...

Hi all, trying to test and use 33 USB Block Erupters and a 49 port usb hub (7x7) on a BeagleBone Black (MineNinja).  I'm having problems getting any work submitted over 7 units.

cgminer 3.1.1 is "hashing" all of my erupters.  Mh/s=334, LEDs are blinking away.

Work is only being submitted on the first 7 (ICA0-6).  No accepts/rejects/HW - U: = 0

I don't think it's a hub problem, here's why...

0.  This hub works fine with Win7 on 3.1.1 or 3.3.1

1. ls -las /dev/ttyUSB* - all of the ttyUSB are present from 0 to 32.  All have dialout access.

2. erupters act normal @ 333 mh/s on every port, all the way up to 33 - just no work submitted for ICA6+.

3. If I put one erupter in each of the "hubs", they work fine as well, so the multiple hubs in this 49 unit doesn't seem to be an issue?

It's been a long time since I've used linux and wasn't that good when I was using it regularly.

Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like your mining some alt coin instead of bitcoin.  But anyway Getwork protocol is the default protocol that was used with CPU/GPU mining and is the protocol needed when solo mining to a local Bitcoin-QT client.  The other options are using a software that uses Stratum or GBT protocols which are much more efficient and do ALLOT better job at keeping mining hardware busy.

Beyond that I don't know.  Maybe post in the alt coin forums for more informed suggestions.

Good Luck,
Sam

It's highly likely that your hub can not provide enough power for 33 USB block eruptors simultaneously.  In fact, from your experiments, it seems to not be able to provide enough power for more than 7 at a time.  What power levels is it rated at?  Each block eruptor will need 0.5 - 0.6 Amps.

Power Supply is fine, coming from Win7 where they work.  Sparkle 400 is 30A@5v.  Thanks!

Exactly.  It's driving me nuts that there's no work!

Why not use 3.3.1?  I had to upgrade from 3.1 to get my 61 erupters working, but they are working fine on 3.3.1.

README is where you can find it.

[notme]

README is where you can find it.

For the lazy:

Q: Is this a virus?
A: Cgminer is being packaged with other trojan scripts and some antivirus
software is falsely accusing cgminer.exe as being the actual virus, rather
than whatever it is being packaged with. If you installed cgminer yourself,
then you do not have a virus on your computer. Complain to your antivirus
software company. They seem to be flagging even source code now from cgminer
as viruses, even though text source files can't do anything by themself.

Cheers for the feedback , I'll delete the post now.

If your usb hub is a usb2 hub and not a usb3 hub you will be far better off moving to the latest version of cgminer instead. The only reason to stick with the old version of cgminer is if you have multiple usb1.1 devices on a usb3 hub for there remains an instability there that we've been unable to debug so far.

Why decreased speed?
cgminer 3.2.1 - 645 kh
cgminer 3.3.1 - 605-610 kh

most likely you changed your settings there is no decrease in speed...

I did not change the settings.
impossible change settings moved .bat file to the folder of new cgminer 3.3.1
