Conman, i just want to ask, if pdcurses did not exist for mingw, what route would you have taken in regards to the UI?

I want to bump this,  is it possible to use the json config file to set up failover pools in the 2.0.5 version?  any version.  if so, how exactly do you do it.

See the last couple of pages: 2.0.7 can do it, and it comes with a pretty useful example config, so you may want to try that first and base any further questions on that.

(Strictly speaking, you could use the config file before, you just had to use more than one...)

more then one, this is what I want to know..  Is this how to do it?

Code:
./cgminer -c config1.json -c config2.json

Yes, although now you can simply put the pools in an array. Before that, I had three config files (pool 1, pool 2 and one for other options), now there is only one. Having multiple config files still works with the latest version, though.

I don't know if it's been discussed before, but I have an odd issue where the miner performs better when I leave the intensity to auto.

If I manually set an intensity, the GPU usage goes all over the place, and usually only utilizes 60-90% of the GPU, whereas auto constantly utilizes 99% of the GPU, even though the intensity goes all over the place...and the hash rate remains mostly constant/increases over time.

hmmm.  sounds like you should set it to auto, especially if the hash increases over time.

@ckolivas: When you have a spare minute could you please adjust the display layout?

Right now the "panel" which displays the CPU stats is sized too big when you start "cgimer" with less threads then you could ( cpu-threads (arg) < cpu-threads (default)). With just a few devices, it doesn't realy matter but on a 48 core box this is quite ugly:

Soooo, now that more pools are offering merged mining, are there any plans to incorporate a fix for this in future cgminer versions?

What needs fixing?

The only possible problem is if the pool passes back LP/block info on 2 different block-chains.

If that is the case, then your so called "fix" is to cripple cgminer - so no I can't see that happening.

I never really cared about the windows version. Consider it luck that there was an equivalent that Ycros originally helped greatly with and then I had the painful task of actually keeping the windows version building.

Hi? I`m Win7 x64-user, where can I get all files to install this software...I can find out only GPU miner binary on github, but also I need to download

Apologies, as Im sure this has been asked before, but I couldnt find it and I dont really feel like wading through 90+ pages..
so could someone kindly explain all the numbers shown in cgminer or point me to a post where I could find it?



From the top, the 5s and average, that I understand Smiley. but what is
Q?
A(ccepted?)
R(rejected?)
HW (HW error?)
E(fficiency, but what does that mean?),
U?
TQ?
ST?
SS?
DW?
NB?
LW?
GF?
RF?

First post doesnt mention it AFAICT, but indeed, I missed it in the readme. For those as blind as me:

TQ is Total Queued work items.
ST is STaged work items (ready to use).
SS is Stale Shares discarded (detected and not submitted so don't count as rejects)
DW is Discarded Work items (work from block no longer valid to work on)
NB is New Blocks detected on the network
LW is Locally generated Work items
GF is Getwork Fail Occasions (server slow to provide work)
RF is Remote Fail occasions (server slow to accept work)

Thats most of them at least.

It does, however, mention this:
READ THE README INCLUDED IN THE ARCHIVE BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS .

which is why I assumed you hadn't read that properly, either... Wink

In README.TXT inside archive of windows binary , it says as below.

Code:

WHILE RUNNING:

The following options are available while running with a single keypress:

[P]ool management [G]PU management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit

P gives you:

Current pool management strategy: Failover
[A]dd pool [R]emove pool [D]isable pool [E]nable pool
[C]hange management strategy [S]witch pool [I]nformation


S gives you:

[L]ongpoll: On
[Q]ueue: 1
[S]cantime: 60
[E]xpiry: 120
[R]etries: -1
[P]ause: 5
[W]rite config file


D gives you:

Toggle: [D]ebug [N]ormal [S]ilent [V]erbose [R]PC debug
[L]og interval [C]lear


Q quits the application.


G gives you something like:

GPU 0: [124.2 / 191.3 Mh/s] [Q:212  A:77  R:33  HW:0  E:36%  U:1.73/m]
Temp: 67.0 C
Fan Speed: 35% (2500 RPM)
Engine Clock: 960 MHz
Memory Clock: 480 Mhz
Vddc: 1.200 V
Activity: 93%
Powertune: 0%
Last initialised: [2011-09-06 12:03:56]
Thread 0: 62.4 Mh/s Enabled ALIVE
Thread 1: 60.2 Mh/s Enabled ALIVE

[E]nable [D]isable [R]estart GPU [C]hange settings
Or press any other key to continue


---
Also many issues and FAQs are covered in the forum thread
dedicated to this program,
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28402.0

The output line shows the following:
 GPU 1: 73.5C 2551RPM | 427.3/443.0Mh/s | A:8 R:0 HW:0 U:4.39/m

Each column is as follows:
Temperature (if supported)
Fanspeed (if supported)
A 5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate
An all time average hash rate
The number of accepted shares
The number of rejected shares
The number of hardware erorrs
The utility defines as the number of shares / minute

The cgminer status line shows:
 TQ: 1  ST: 1  SS: 0  DW: 0  NB: 1  LW: 8  GF: 1  RF: 1

TQ is Total Queued work items.
ST is STaged work items (ready to use).
SS is Stale Shares discarded (detected and not submitted so don't count as rejects)
DW is Discarded Work items (work from block no longer valid to work on)
NB is New Blocks detected on the network
LW is Locally generated Work items
GF is Getwork Fail Occasions (server slow to provide work)
RF is Remote Fail occasions (server slow to accept work)

NOTE: Running intensities above 9 with current hardware is likely to only
diminish return performance even if the hash rate might appear better. A good
starting baseline intensity to try on dedicated miners is 9. Higher values are
there to cope with future improvements in hardware.

In 2.0.7 I don't get any feedback as to if solo mining is working or not.  In version 2.0.5 I would get rejected for a status on the solo pool so I knew it was working.  Is there any way of verifying that it is actually working in the later versions?

Also it doesn't seem like the donation is working either in 2.0.7.  I haven't wiresharked it yet to see if it is actually sending to Ozco, but that would be my next step.

Thanks,
Sam

2.0.7 only shows messages at the level the source of the getwork requires.

Solo to bitcoind means you are trying to get blocks, so you get a message whenever you get a block.
(shares are not related to solo but: it used to show messages at share level, not block level, bit that has been 'fixed')

Pool means you are trying to get shares, so you get a message whenever you get a share.

I believe the donation is pointing somewhere else now.

So, is there any way to verify that solo mining is actually working now?

Is the donation not using port 8332 now?  I guess I can check that myself, but if not I'll need to set a new firewall rule.
