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

[hi]

Hi

You are in denial about the stales/rejects...this cgminer produces more stales than guiminer on same pool.  Fix it and quit making excuses.

Hi

Fine, it's broken. Go use guiminer thanks.

[hi]

Hi

my stales/rejects on deepbit were very stable over n period.  That same n period interval using cgminer showed large jump in stales/rejects.  Put your ego aside and fix it for the peeps.

Hi

Ego? That's easy to say. I don't see where they're coming from and why they're lower with other miners so I don't know what to fix.

[hi]

Hi

at least your honest...I really like your miner..hence the pushing to get it fixed   I don't understand it either..but the records that deepbit keep show since using cgminer, stales have increased quite a bit. 

Perhaps in how cgminer queues the shares??

anyways, I did not mean to offend and apologize if I did.  Please keep up the good work and I realize you are not getting paid at this point.

Hi

no gpu, can not use
show can not find opencl.dll error

You need to install newer drivers for AMD card.

but I don't have an ati card, only use cpu to mining

[CCCMikey]

In that case, wouldn't you be better just running bitcoin -gen ? See http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=2356.0

The windows build has gpu mining built into it. You cannot do plain cpu mining on the generic windows build unless you build it without GPU mining support.

[CCCMikey]

EDIT: Me == Comprehension Fail Thanks for corrections below.

I didn't realise that. The previous version I had - the on that had "Generate Coins" in a menu used the CPU to mine.

If the current Windows version really does use the GPU to mine, then why should I be using CGMiner? (Can't test at the moment due to PSU issue.) http://www.weusecoins.com/mining-guide.php seems to imply that GPU mining is not native to the Windows Bitcoin Application. Likewise, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#Why_was_the_.22Generate_coin.22_option_of_the_client_software_removed.3F makes no mention of this capability.

The Windows build of cgminer has gpu mining built into it.

Mining is being phased out from the official Bitcoin client.

Sorry, but the integrated CPU miner in the older builds is much slower than say CGMiner's 4way algorithm or Ufasoft's SSE2 optimization.

Ideal would be to add a flag to disable the gpu mining.
eg
-g 0 would disable gpu mining.

cgminer.exe -o http://localhost:8332 -u username.1 -p 1234 -t 4 -g 0

could then be used to force only cpu mining with 4 threads..

why would one want todo this: if u wanted to play a game or use the gpus for something else.. my cpu averages 40Mh/s

currently
i use bitcoin-miner.exe for cpu mining

Wow, do you have some dual xeon or something? 40 megahashes for a cpu is quite a lot.

I have a weird problem. cgminer is reporting a hashrate that is a bit better than what I had before. BUT my pool (arsbitcoin) is reporting something much lower after I switched. And I did wait 30 minutes to make sure since the stats are for the last 10 minutes.

Here's what cgminer is showing:

Code:

Here's what my pool is saying:

ChocoboLee.12      Y   1460

Any ideas? I've been running this for 35 minutes. Can someone do a quick calculation to see if the amount of accepted shares is correct for my hashrate?

[coblee]

And after I stopped it, here's the summary:

Your efficiency is particularly low. That may be the result of setting the intensity too high. Drop it from 14 to 8.

I've tried 8 and I was not getting good hashrate. Would 9 work?
Why would the hashrate reported here not be accurate versus what the pool sees?

[-ck]

Because your efficiency is low. The pool reports back what it thinks your hash rate is based on the number of accepted shares you return.

1.2.7 regression on nvidia cards.

Mh/s are calculated, but after 1 hour no shares are submitted.

With the 1.2.6 binary nvidia cards function 100%.


win32 v1.2.7 still has problem with combined gpu+cpu mining and with cpu mining.
