Updated git tree: The longpoll message was almost always being dropped in 1.2.8 and it thought it always detected the new block itself - should be fixed in the git tree. It was possible to queue an ever increasing amount of staged work which would eventually lead to a rise in rejects as the shares submitted would eventually be quite old. Fixed.

With the latest version from git, long polling keeps failing for deepbit. Since it is working fine with DiabloMiner, I'm assuming there's something wrong with cgminer (I changed the waiting time to 5s so that there would be less clutter between LP failure messages): cgminer version 1.2.8 - Started: [2011-07-18 14:29:21] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [(5s):32.9 (avg):32.8 Mh/s] [Q:4 A:1 R:0 HW:0 E:25% U:0.20/m] TQ: 0 ST: 0 LS: 0 SS: 0 DW: 0 NB: 0 LW: 0 LO: 0 RF: 0 I: 1 Connected to http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 as user xxx@xxx.xxx_Miner Block 0001629b4228b4b61b8ecb6c68e0ec32 started: [2011-07-18 14:29:22] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GPU 0: [32.8 Mh/s] [Q:4 A:1 R:0 HW:0 E:50% U:0.26/m] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since mining works fine, otherwise, I doubt the data I entered is incorrect.

-g 0 will give you only CPU mining Looks like the longpoll dies when communicating with your pool's server. Should be harmless since it can detect block changes itself, but it's not ideal. Something funny going on with longpoll, and it seems to be every time I try converting from post to get.

Ah yes. The windows binary version is a 32 bit compile which includes NONE of the high speed assembly code so it only has a very slow cpu mining algorithm. All the cpumining assembly included in cgminer is 64 bit only. I have no experience in assembly to make a 32 bit assembly version, but perhaps I can convince ycros to make a 64 bit windows build.

I suspect the timeout is just too long with the GET so that even if it works it's eventually reset. I'll change that shortly in my git tree. Yes I've experimented with the updated phatk kernel and haven't been able to demonstrate any measurable advantage :s Nonetheless I'll eventually implement it.

Yes. Instructions are in the README. You need to install a recent yasm to get the assembly to compile as well. gluck.

Major update version 1.3.0: Source: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-1.3.0.tar.bz2Windows binary: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-1.3.0-win32.zip- Massive infrastructure update to support pool failover. - Accept multiple parameters for url, user and pass and set up structures of pool data accordingly. - Probe each pool for what it supports. - Implement per pool feature support according to rolltime support as advertised by server. - Do switching automatically based on a 300 second timeout of locally generated work or 60 seconds of no response from a server that doesn't support rolltime. - Implement longpoll server switching. - Keep per-pool data and display accordingly. - Make sure cgminer knows how long the pool has actually been out for before deeming it a prolonged outage. - Fix bug with ever increasing staged work in 1.2.8 that eventually caused infinite rejects. - Make warning about empty http requests not show by default since many servers do this regularly. In a nutshell, apart from bugfixes, this version now implements smart failover support of virtually unlimited pools. It selectively probes each server for what it supports and adjusts accordingly how to manage poor network conditions. If a server supports x-roll-ntime it will use local generation of work for up to 5 minutes (half a block's duration) and then if it is still unable to connect it will then switch pools. If a server does not support local generation, it will wait for up to a minute and then switch pools. Once a switch has occurred it will try to switch longpolls to the appropriate server as well. To use multiple pools, simply pass multiple urls and credentials. eg: ./cgminer -o http://url1:port -u user1 -p pass1 -o http://url2:port -u user2 -p pass2 ... [note: url must come before username/password now]

Hi ckolivas, Your great work on cgminer is highly appreciated! I have several questions for you: 1) Do you mind me posting my RPM updates in your thread, now that I was whitelisted on the forum? 2) cgminer < 1.3.0 segfaults on me from time to time (CPU mining only for the lack of GPUs), both on RHEL5 and Ubuntu 10.04.02 LTS. I was thinking that it was because of overheat, because on Ubuntu it seems to segfault more often, but in fact it doesn't fit with the subsequent observation that the computer is cool and otherwise stable. How do I collect useful information to find out what seems to be the problem? 3) I tried to wrap it around in a bash script like this: #!/bin/bash
while : do
ionice -c 3 \ nice -n 19 \ /opt/cgminer/bin/cgminer \ --misc-options ... \
sleep 60 && echo "Attempting to re-start"
done but it doesn't seem to work as expected. It is my impression that after a segfault it just gets stuck and does not end until I hit Ctrl+C... the restart message is never printed to the screen. Am I missing something obvious here? 4) With sse4_64 my hashrate improved from ~9 to 11 Mh/s! Very cool!

"url" : "http://pit.deepbit.net:8332", "user" : "username", "pass" : "password",

Just in case the JSON parameters were read in reverse order, I tried putting the url option after the user and pass options - no change.
