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

How high can these usb antminers go without going pop. The antminer guide shows 500 at 4GH. I've got them under a fan, can I really hit that or is that dead mans territory. How high can antminers be safely pushed. They don't have block eroupters bright green light to ward me of trouble.

Heat's usually not the limiting factor. Without a hardware voltage mod you're unlikely to get them to 300 even.

I usually figure heat is a good reference point since that's when I figure chips start to not look like chips.

Hopefully before I even think of modding they'll be a antminer u2 or some true tested modded ones on ebay to fill my need. I'm sorta grumped they show the regulator but not what the part #'s are to be tweaked that they highlight.

I tried 250 only since its noted here and only one is not touching 2GH's. I probably have to find a different fan placement to get that one to go closer .

With chips, over clocking them requires more power.
Thus the power configuration of the hardware will be a clear limit in how far it can be overclocked.

BTBs with avalon chips was a good example of this, you could adjust the voltage and as it went up so did the reliable clock rates
When the voltage wasn't high enough, they would simply go into a state of mostly or all errors.

P.S. yes there are still moron manufacturers out there designing hardware without temperature sensors .......

Release 3.12.3 is perfect for me...
i use antminer U1 and with option anu-freq run very well..

thx ckolivas

No more Zombie Antminers for me with 3.12.3. 

I did try also running my Bitburner Fury on 3.12.3 along with everything else (it usually runs on it's own on 3.10.0 on a BeagleBone Black).  The Fury doesn't seem at all happy on 3.12.3, timeouts, zombies, reconnects.  Any reason why this would be the case?  Machine running 3.12.3 is a Celeron NUC running Debian Wheezy.  It has plenty of RAM and CPU power in reserve.

That's reassuring. The only change from the one you tried earlier was me generically adding usb resets for when the device has a communication error, which means these resets are probably actually purposeful.

Know nothing about that hardware, maybe Kano might chime in.

Does anyone know why sometimes cgminer opens in such small fonts? I just have to restart my computer and it opens in normal size.

[techman05]

Short cut vs direct opening? I know I had to go and set cgminer size when I open it for the first time when I don't use a short cut. You shouldn't have to fudge with that anyway since the information is on cgwatcher.

Right click the top of cgminer and change the properties in the right side second box down then save them. You should be set as long as you don't have 6 different versions of cgminer to change.

Is dodge any good in the mining. I eventually need to find a cheap card I don't have to worry about blowing up that I might want to try the dark side(somebody make a dark side coin )

[Degolep]

thx.

with my ATI 7950 stock(880/1250) I get max 520KH/s which results in 7 hours 1k DOGE.

So I recently tried updating cgminer on two of my windows machines from 3.12.0 to 3.12.3 that are connected to multiple hashfast babyjets, and whenever I try running 3.12.3 cgminer just crashes on startup, yet 3.12.0 works...

I strongly advise people wait till they have new firmware as the new cgminer code is optimised around it and vice versa.

Sorry keeping up with everything is hard sometimes.

When's the new firmware being released?

Greetings masked brother from another mother,

Take and start 3.12.0 and enter the url, user, and password ~IE get it running...
Now start 3.12.3 and again enter the url, user and password data ~when it starts, shut down 3.12.0 with Q command.

This worked on my 2012 Server... it runs for a while then crashes, I'm still poking it with a stick so I can't say much more at the moment.

I realize this is a horrible hack, forgive me CK

Hi, this is newcomer here.

Does anybody know why I'm getting such screen output on Linux? It seems under debug mode
It was normal under Windows

Thanks!

I guess you have forgotten to install libncurses5-dev. Or it is a version too old. Check output of ./configure.

[chek2fire]

The last version of cgminer is the most stable version i ever use. I run it for three days now without any crash. My system is some icarus,some antminer, some bifure some nanofury and a pinch of redfury

Hi.  Complete n00b here!

I have searched but may not be specifying the correct terminology so apologies in advance.

I am attempting to run cgminer under Windows 7 to mine Maxcoin using my GPU (AMD 6770).

Cgminer starts for a couple of seconds and then dies.  Log output is as follows

Can anyone shed any light on this problem or suggest further diagnostics.  All drivers are up to date.

Many thanks.

MaxCoin uses SHA-3, cgminer does not.

Thanks for that.

Cgminer command line reads

cgminer.exe --keccak --no-submit-stale -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u MyPasswordGoesHere -p x -I 9 -D 2>c:\temp\cgminer.log

I understood that SHA-3 and keccak were, effectively, the same.  If this is wrong then the advice in many places that cgminer 3.7.3 is suitable for Maxcoin mining must be incorrect.  It is often downloadable as a .zip called 'cgminer3.7.3_maxcoin.zip'.

Seems strange!

Any recomendations for a suitable GPU miner for Maxcoin?

Thanks again.

You are not using cgminer.
There is no --keccak in cgminer.
You are downloading a version from someone else.
Who knows what is in that binary .............

Got it.

I found this in Github (part of README for this)

"This is a modified cgminer software for Maxcoin stratum mining."

The author is someone called 'Reorder'.

I guess I need to seek help elsewhere.

Thanks.

Con / Kano:

What is the situation with Cointerra?  Did they provide test hardware / arrange for driver development in cgminer? 

I'm eager to get these machines consolidated on one instance of cgminer running on decent hardware rather than a bunch of beaglebone controllers.

Cointerra developed the communication protocol entirely based on my discussions with them and the driver for cgminer I wrote completely. Once hardware is in regular customers' hands I will push the driver to the master cgminer code. They are straight forward USB devices that are connected to a beaglebone black for standalone operation but you can unplug the beaglebone and plug a regular PC into their USB. I personally do not have any hardware yet, as I have only worked on them remotely.

There are in customer hands at this point.  It looks like there is some work needed on stability at least.

Let me know if you need access to multiple systems for testing.

trying to use an older 3.72 version with my imac in built gpu put a srypct server in mining like sha256 where is config how do i change what its doing looked in appsupport nothing please help
how do i flip to scrypt mining running 10.6.8
help please

[jimjam1210]

found config file in a hidden file in users /.cgminer/cgminer.config still wont run scrpt can any one send me an example config that will work as i ahve tried what i know and still doin mh in kh weird
