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

[-ck]

-ck,

I installed libncurses5-dev and that didn't help. Then I reran the build command (sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config \ libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev \ libncurses5-dev) and was told everything was installed properly, but I still don't get the stats I see in the OSX terminal window. I've also restarted the machine a couple times. Uninstall and rebuild, or is there something simpler I could do?

Thanks!

Rerun the configure and rebuild after installing ncurses5-dev.

CK, You're a friggin' genius! I removed cgminer and ncurses, reinstalled ncurses, reconfigured and rebuilt cgminer and ran it. It's working like a champ. Thanks for your assistance.

in your own opinion how much is a minimum cost to make profitable mining rig

How about asking this in the correct topic?
This is about a specific software, not about the hardware.

Hi;

New at this, but I got as far as securing 2 S9's and plugging them in.  They are hashing for a pool, while I try to figure out how to solo mine with them.

I want to be able to play with a candidate block.  It's academic in a sense - I want to see the mechanics in play, from constructing a custom transaction, to watching a miner take it and attempt to assemble a valid block.

I understand that by joining a pool, we give up that part of the Bitcoin blockchain process.

Are my assumptions wrong?
Is there any hope of mining solo with an S9, (with Core attached) ?



Thanks for any advice.

Cheers!

The S9 doesn't contain the official cgminer so you're asking for support in the wrong place. Nonetheless the S9 isn't capable of solo mining by itself; you'll need to run pool software such as ckpool or if you want the level of customisation you're talking about you're going to have to write software yourself.

hello I'm just new here,  and I want to mine Ultra Note. can some one please teach me how to mine. I have several computers at work and at home and I want to maximize its usage. thanks

Thanks for the response. 

Is there more appropriate hardware that you might recommend?

You are asking to do multiple things here. Mining solo is as easy as setting up bitcoind, ckpool and then pointing your S9 at it. However "playing with a candidate block" is seriously high level shit that should only be done by people who understand code and bitcoin at a high level. There is no "better" hardware to use, as the only thing that makes it possible to mine a block is hashrate, and the more hardware you throw at it the more chance you have at finding a block. An S9 is likely to solve a block on average once every 5 YEARS. It is likely the hardware will burn out before you actually achieve anything at all (let alone make a profit.) Hope this helps put it into perspective.

Hi
I tried to download cgminer 3.7.2 for windows from sourceforge but chrome alarmed its dangerous and blocked so I tried with firefox this time windows alarmed as threats.
Next time I tried your source: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer but both firefox and chrome alarmed as "Reported Unwanted Software Page" and "The site ahead contains harmful programs"
Whats wrong?

Why are you trying to download such an old version of CGMiner?
