You have been bitten by the windows-is-failing-to-build-you-a-kernel bug that I have no idea how to fix short of installing linux. Restart it over and over and eventually it might work.

I noticed that only one username and pass is used. Does it mean that the power of all 4 cards will be assigned to 1 pool worker?
This! I have been trying to assign a worker account to each worker. Is it possible? This only makes all GPU for a single worker: Why exactly would you want to do this? The ability to run (in my case 6+ GPU) per worker is one of the best advantages of cgminer. Does having x workers for x GPU gain you anything?

The pool's idle worker notification actually becomes useful?

The pool's idle worker notification actually becomes useful? How would one decide when to separate them out and not? Most of us don't want it to do this and you'd have to have some convoluted command to link one account to one device and only when you want this. The command parsing is messy enough as it is ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

If it ever gets implemented, it should ideally be flexible enough to allow arbitrary worker<->GPU mappings, anyway (to satisfy everybody). Until then, I would say multiple cgminer instances have little enough overhead to bother with this.

Enable 0.5% donation by default. I plan on maintaining a patch to remove all of the donation code from the project starting in the near future. I think people who want to donate (such as myself) are capable of choosing to on their own through the normal channels. You are free to do as you please. The donation 0.5% by default patch was testing the waters and proved within a heart's beat how popular the idea would be. There is no default donation in the code, but I am not removing the --donation option. Thanks very much to the handful of people who are actually using the donation feature by the way! Even a tiny bit is appreciated ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I think that leaves only Eligius, though when I get around to rewriting the codebase, I do plan to offer it as an option...

Good job guys on adding the cgminer ebuilds to the bitcoin overlay, but I'd like to request if it's possible to add a 9999 (git) version to the overlay. I've also written an alternative ebuild for cgminer which fetches adl-sdk without any additional ebuilds. The ebuild is here if anyone needs it. It also has a sample config file installed in /etc/cgminer, a conf.d configuration file and an init.d script. It also has an ugly xorg startup script which just fires up bare xorg without any display managers. http://lt.internets.ru/misc/cgminer-git-ebuild.tar.gz

All who disagree are free to maintain patches and all they want. They would be better of forking the project, adding useful features and requesting pulls from ckolivas though. This "i plan on" message was totally uncalled for, really... cgminer is a project with a very dynamic release cycle, just look at the commit history, the author is really putting quite a bit of effort into it and the donation option really makes it very easy to donate on a regular basis. Thumbs up, ckolivas! Keep up the good work!

Love ckolivas, love the work, love cgminer. Open source is about the freedom to make things how you want. Not instigating, not trolling, don't want attention. Just mentioned that in case anyone else is going to be looking for a modified version.. will make different future post with the github link or patch. Please donate to ckolivas, and attach a note saying you prefer to have your miner mine, and to do the donations in your bitcoin client,

Could you please elaborate on why you would go through the repeated hassle of creating a patched version of cgminer when the option itself doesn't in any way impair the functionality of the program? The message just pops-up once and doesn't even popup when you log via syslog. Does that message annoy you so much so you're willing to go through setting up a forked project for that? I'm not dissin' you in any way, I'm just a bit confused as to why it would be such an issue for anyone. Thanks!

It's just a personal preference. I get to change something I don't like, and get more familiar with cgminer. It's on the list.. also working on a gox bot and ncurses front end for bitcoind, but it shouldn't take much time to do this one.

have a small problem. had a power failure last night and when the miners restarted i got the following message [2011-09-29 11:48:07] No servers were found that could be used to get work from. [2011-09-29 11:48:07] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input [2011-09-29 11:48:07] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not set up workers [2011-09-29 11:48:07] Pool: 0 URL: http://btcguild.com:8332 User: ****** Password: ****** Press enter to exit:
I expect it was just a network hiccup, is there anyway i can easily prevent this from happening... with winter storms around the corner i expect a few power failures occurring and would like the miners to start up smoothly note: running on Windows7 64 bit

If you are scripting some kind of auto-startup, you need to make sure the mining happens late enough that the network is up. Perhaps a simple wait or sleep in your windows .bat file would be enough (not sure of the syntax in windows) so that it waits for a minute before starting. The error is there for a reason as 99% of the failures people were reporting were they had entered the wrong details. I guess I can add an override as (yet) another command line.

You pretty much have two options: - Loop until you get a successful ping to a host that is usually online (say, google) and only start cgminer after that.
- Start cgminer in an endless loop. That way you'd also have cgminer restart in case it crashes. However, you'd lose any output that may help you find the problem.
