does not seem to be hashing.. when running awhile, only HW count increments...
from cgminer manual:
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:
(5s):1713.6 (avg):1707.8 Mh/s | A:729 R:8 HW:0 WU:22.53/m
Each column is as follows:
5s: A 5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate
avg: An all time average hash rate
A: The total difficulty of Accepted shares
R: The total difficulty of Rejected shares
HW: The number of HardWare errors
WU: The Work Utility defined as the number of diff1 shares work / minute
(accepted or rejected).from your log:
it looks like your device has WU > 0, and also the hash rate looks good, it seems that the device is working and hashing.
my bad, let me try to ask differently. It seems like hashing, but besides those "(5s)..." lines in output only
"Share above target" - is displayed. On normal cgminer screen I have used to see something different. And what got my attention was that only HW number increased not accept nor reject.. While running 3 usb erupters about 2 hours (do not remeber exactly) first line was:
A:0 R:0 HW:17 - is that normal?
also
Block: ... Diff: Started: - were empy as well..
The condition to have "luck" (and thus to probably have mined a new block) is hash < target.
"Share above target" is reported by the miner when the hash (calculated on the result given back by the ASIC) is greater than the target (hash > target), thus is not good and is discarded without reporting back to mcproxy, since there is no need to send back a solution which is not valid (thus A and R values are not modified).
When solo mining, this "unluck" happens quite often, so what we see is ok.
The fact the HW (Hardare Errors) is > 0, means that your devices (or your device drivers, or your OS....) has some problems and so your ASICs stop responding for a while/they need to be reset. Maybe they are getting too hot. There could be several reasons.
Instead, when pool mining (and I give you an example below with the testing p2pool of MED), you will see a lot of "Accepted" block; but that does not translate in mined block, because the mechanism beyond pool mining is quite different.
So, I would say that your devices are solo mining correctly (apart for the HW errors which should be understood better).
