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

Maybe if you create a .bat file with all the options you want in it

Whenever you want to start cgminer, just execute the .bat

Works for me, although I don't use the gpu -vddc

(and you don't have to start cgminer from a terminal window, but straight from your desktop)

Okay, I am noob at coding in general, I have created a couple of bat files in the past but only by following instructions is it possible you can help me to create such a bat file?

open up notepad

"C:\place where your cgminer directory is located\cgminer.exe" - o http://pool:8332 -u user -p password and then all the backup pools/options you want to use

Name the file smtg.bat and save it not as a text file but filetype other

That should do the trick

Good luck

"C:\\place where your cgminer directory is located\cgminer.exe"

Since you need to be extra-clear with noobs and I don't know whether this will work: why are there two "\" after "C:"?

Thank you very much that did the trick

Oooops, thanks for pointing that out !!!

Can it be that there's a possible bug in cgminer? Look at GPU6 in the below image:



Y U NO 85%? ;-)

Also, is it normal that the default layout (see picture) changes over time? After z while, the % numbers goes away and RPMs are in its place...

[-ck]

Looks like you have dual GPU cards in there. The fan is controlled entirely by the first GPU and reports back the correct fan speed in RPM. When the device does not support reporting speed in RPM, cgminer will report it back in percentage. The fact that that GPU reports a lower speed is because it's trying to set the fan lower because the temperature is below 75, but the value is of course meaningless since no fan is actually connected to the output on that GPU; it's entirely dependent on the fan of its twin GPU.

Aha, that explains a lot, thanks ;-)

Do you have an idea about the 2nd question?

[-ck]

No.

[tnkflx]

No.

I'll try to grab a screenshot when it happens.

In a thread elsewhere...

Linuxcoin is built on an older ubuntu than the 2.0.8 package is. For now you will have much more luck with linuxcoin and the 2.0.7 binary which was built for an older ubuntu linux.

I'm not using Linuxcoin but seeing the above raised this question for me:  I succeeded in building 2.0.8 under Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't have my hardware set up yet so I can't test yet.  Given that I'll be using a 2.0.8 built without errors, should I expect it to fail under 10.04?

Avast antivirus also flagged the program cgminer.exe.  And the webpage is listed as infected when I try to download the new version.  So it is a backdoor/keylogger or what?  The "virus program authors are idiots, ignore them" response is not encouraging at all.  Doesn't inspire confidence - what is up with this?

Read/search the thread? Some trojans, etc. use cgminer, so it gets flagged.

The source code for cgminer is available online:

https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer

You or the antivirus makers can audit it or build it yourself for windows and be guaranteed it's not a virus if you don't trust the binaries I supply. However, I'm the one who wrote the software so if you can't trust me despite the source code being available, then you are in deep shit. Soon every single windows user who wants to mine will be alienated by the antivirus software makers because every single piece of mining software *can* be bundled with a trojan. That doesn't make the mining software a virus trojan adware spyware keylogger or other random fucking shit that poor windows users suffer.

cgminer uses up all your GPU power and converts it to Bitcoin for you - you can then convert BTC to $ if you wish.
Money is evil, so you better avoid using cgminer ...

Quite far fetched. ))

Hi. The situation is as follows:
I have 3 VGAs. Peak performance is 6950(326 MH/s), Asus 5870 (461 MH/s), Gigabyte 5870 (431 MH/s)
When a single card is mining (6950 for example) everything is ok with its hashrate. When the second turns on the (Asus for example) hashrate drops and bounces from ~316 to ~326 for 6950 and ~326-367 for Asus and when I turn Gigabyte on the hashrate drops even more significantly ~296-309 6950, ~311-354 Asus, ~309-349 Gigabyte.

What the hell is going on?

I use Aoclbf 1.81 + Phoenix 1.7.0 whith modofied kernel + Cat 12.1 + Windows 7 x64 SP1
Flags are: -k phatk2 VECTORS2 BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11 DEVICE=X

Everything was perfect untill I installed Intel OpenCL SDK. Now I have uninstalled it but the problem remains.

Today I tried CGminer 2.0.8! VGA clocks are the same!
Flags are:
cgminer -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u *** -p *** -I d,10,10 -k phatk

This gives me ~306 MH/s for 6950, ~411 and ~ 396 for Asus and Gigabyte correspondingly.

PLEASE help me to resolve a situation!
Thanx in advance

My first thought: Cooling problem.
