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

[P_Shep]

I don't think there are even 32 actual pools!

Mind you, devices is 'only' 64... waiting for someone with 100 Ztex, 100 BFLs, 100 icarus, 100 Modminers & 8 GPUs to turn up

It works if you recompile with the number set to 128.

Hi,

can anyone help giving me the line to add multiple pool in case of an other DDoS allack to my config file?

Running OS Windows7 32 bi with FGPA BFL Single.

"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "http://xxxxxxxxx",
      "user" : "xxxxx.xxxxxx",
      "pass" : "xxxxxxx"
   }
],

"disable-gpu" : true,
"scan-serial" : [ "bitforce:COM3", "bitforce:COM4", "bitforce:COM5", "bitforce:COM6", "bitforce:COM7" ],
"expiry" : "180",

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

can anyone help giving me the line to add multiple pool in case of an other DDoS allack to my config file?

...

as it says in example.conf ..........

"pools" : [
        {

+1 Really people c'mon, There are instructions on FRONT PAGE of this thread on how to do almost Anything that you'll need to do within CGminer, Seriously, Read Before You Ask.
And you couldnt simply go into CGminers folder and see that there is literally a "Example.configuration" file? Dude, C'mon read before you ask

[ChiangYay]

JackRabiit, there are over 290 pages, I'm new to this stuff,  I didn't find any "Example.configuration" file.  You could just direct me to the example page in state of been rude.
 
The forum is also supposed to help people not to speak arrogant and silly bullshit. If you don't know how to behave don't type.

Read the first post of the thread and the README and examples provided with the free software ...
Only after that, consider asking people for free help to make money ...
i.e. why should others go to any effort for you if you haven't gone to the effort to do the basics with the free software you got
I often paste/type answers for whatever reason ... but ... ok enough trolling from me I guess ...

Hey people before now I've been using Kiv's GUIminer but I got some brand new BFL singles that I need to use and I think cgminer is the most widely used and has bitforce enabled but I keep getting an error that I can't seem to find documented anywhere idk but here's the issue.  When I try to open this "cgminer.exe" it opens for a second or so then shuts down doesn't mine or anything just quits.  Also when I tried to build cgminer using the instructions in the "windows-build.txt" I get to the last step before running the "make" command in mingw the "CFLAGS="-02 -msse2" ./configure" command and I get and error message that I can't understand:

Code:

$ CFLAGS="-02 -msse2" ./configure

and when I open the config.log it displays this:

./config.log: line 15: `uname -r = 1.0.17(0.48/3/2)'

someone else when I made my own thread in the newb boards directed me to something he's written for ozcoin which is https://ozcoin.net/content/win7-cgminer-setup-guide.  I've tried that and it works but I get the same instant shutdown thing.  If someone could help me build and run this thing it would be much appreciated or if someone knows that the fix for my problems have been mentioned earlier in this or another thread it would also be greatly appreciated if you could tell me which thread so I can go and read through it and not trouble you guys any further.

Code:

$ CFLAGS="-02 -msse2" ./configure

checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/XXXXX/cgminer-2.4.2-win32':

See `config.log' for more details

Try without the -msse2 and you need to enable BFL which is what you're trying to do...
CFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --enable-bitforce

[dgray9000]

I'm just trying to get this thing to run right now, I figure that if I can get it to run this way I can change it however I want by just rebuilding the file. 

Anyway I tried it without the "-msse2" it still spit the same error message back at me.

Sounds like your mingw install is borked.

From the mingw (msys) shell, type:

Code:

gcc --version

If you do not get a version number returned than something did get borked on your mingw install and you will need to wipe the \mingw directory and reinstall from the beginning.

i got version 4.7.0

After 2.3.4 if main pool is not supporting long pooling cgminer is ignoring "work restart" message form backup pool.
It is intended or bugged?
If intended - it is possible to enable this via option?

When you actually run cgminer, one of the options When you press S should be [W] for writing a config file (usually cgminer.conf) that is a great place to start adding pools and such, as it is based on your working cgminer configuration. Hope this helps

EDIT: Figured out strikethrough issue...facepalm

[tosku]

Writing

makes the forum render the following text as strikethrough. This has happened to the post before mine, but also to the first post of this thread.

If the main pool doesn't support longpoll, cgminer should pick a longpoll from your list of pools at startup to use with that pool anyway. This does not work if you add pools after startup though.

Yes it does now ignore longpolls from backup pools since that was a waste of work previously and was overloading pools' longpoll servers all over the place. There is no way to enable this now unless you move to rotate or load-balance pool strategies. In these strategies it will use longpolls from any servers that it has been getting work from until the block change: In the case of rotate it will likely still only be one pool unless you've just switched servers, but in the case of loadbalance it will be getting longpolls from every single pool.

Nope, no workie. I set load balance on btcguild + my p2pool node and  despite of proper message not getting longpools form my P2pool that way. When I set only P2pool - no problem.
Well I`ll use old version ;]

Seriously, using p2pool with *any* other pool only makes sense in --failover-only mode since it's effectively a different block chain.

[dgray9000]

Could someone please explain to me how to make it so that my C compiler can make executable's.  This is the only issue that i'm having right now with building cgminer from the source code according to the windows-build text file.
