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

[twmz]

with the 3.4.3 version my accepted and rejected shares count is wrong.
Ex. in the log i see 5 or 6 shares, while the program report A:1920 R:230 ecc.ecc.

i see that the api works fine

now, i'm using the 3.1.1 version and works fine.

Because of vardiff, the UI now shows "Accepted Difficulty" instead of simple count of accepted shares (because not all shares are equal in a vardiff world).  So if you find a share with difficulty 16, "A" will increase by 16 and not by 1.

it's great.
thank you very much.
i switch faster to 3.4.3 version

tried your conf file and got this error.
 
Maximum buffer memory device 0 supports says 268435456
your scrypt setting come to 369098752
error -61: clCreateBuffer (padbuffer8), decrease TC or increase LG
failed to init GPU thread 0, disabling device 0
Restarting the GPU from the menu will not fix this.
Try restarting cgminer.

tried decreasing thread concurrency by cutting it in half and increased Lookup gap to 3 bu got the same -51 error mentioned above.

I just looked up a 5870 and see it's a single GPU like a 5970. Here's the conf I run on my 5970 miners:
{
"scrypt" : true,
"gpu-reorder" : true,
"intensity" : "18",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"gpu-engine" : "725",

"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"log" : "5",

}
How much RAM do you have installed? I can run 4x5970s on 4GB RAM with a Sempron 140.

I just installed 10 block erupters on a powered USB hub. (To amuse myself while I wait for my BuFfaLo Chips to arrive from Kansas )  I installed the driver for them and the hub. I can mine at bitminter no problem. But, I cannot initialize them using cgminer. What am I doing wrong? TIA

i.e. you didn't use the correct drivers for cgminer.

Thx Kano. I assumed the SiLabs driver it wanted to install when I plugged the first one in was the best.
So Zadig replaced all 10 Eruptor drivers with the WinUSB driver. But, when I start cgminer it quickly discovers 6 but cannot see the other 4. I have 6 plugged into a powered USB hub and 4 plugged into MB USB ports. I don't know how to tell which is which. I guess I'll unplug them all and plug them in one by one and see what happens.

That ones that are not in use will have the LEDs on solid. The LED will go off when it is mining and just flicker when it finds a suitable nonce.

Hi,

what could be the matter if block erupters getting slower after a few days?

I still see hashrate after 5s ~335 Mh/s but on the average side i only have ~220 Mh/s.

Im using D-Link DUB-H7 hubs on desktop machine with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and latest, self compiled, cgminer (3.4.3).

Any hints would be nice

How can I use the --auto-gpu command ? tried entering it to the bat file along with a target temp - has absolutely no effect. Also tried --auto-gpu with a range of clock speeds but cgminer wont even start that way. I need the my gpu's to dial down during daytime when the cooling is off and dial back up at nights when my blower turns on.
Any help appreciated

It works in tandem with the --gpu-engine argument. Same thing with the --auto-fan and the --gpu-fan arguments.

I would use something like this for scrypt settings:

--auto-fan --gpu-fan 30-80 --temp-target 70 --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 500-950 --gpu-memdiff 350

redfury branch is now available on git for linux users with BF1 redfury or bluefury USB bitfury devices. It works fine on linux, requiring the same sort of permissions set up (with udev rules) as other asic devices, but so far I've been unable to get it to work on windows.

Great work ckolivas - looking forward to trying this with mine when they arrive. Nice one.

Will --avalon-fan 80 turn on the fans if there are no modules or temperature sensors plugged in?

It is compiling w/o errors for me. Not have bitfury to check it is really working or not.
Ill put it on my skydrive, maybe s1 want to test it.

Hi
I'm currently using proclbm because cgminer is always crashing when I start it. I have a radeon mobility 5870 in my Win8 x64 laptop. I use the current 13.10 beta drivers.
Proclbm was also crashing when starting it, but there I could fix it with this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=221041.0
Could this also be the reason for the crash with this miner?
Thanks
pato

I'd suspect the hub is under powered or is starting to malfunction.

sounds strange. all 6 hubs would start to malfunction at the same time then.

Not exactly. I've noticed that when i add a USB, that the only one with a problem due to low power is the last one added.

[-Redacted-]

You do know that those hubs are good for 4 erupters, possibly 5 max if you want to push your luck, right?

yep, only 4-5 erupters per hub. it has 3A psu.
