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

[Fobo1979]

Please, I'm a beginner, please help me!

Try to get my Red Fury working for a few days now but do not understand what I'm doing wrong

I make the .bat file as it has been everywhere, tested several different settings but no Sad

Im using cgminer and when they start flashing, Cg says just

 [2018-01-14 22:13:22.661] Started cgminer 4.10.0
 [2018-01-14 22:13:22.661] Started cgminer 4.10.0
 [2018-01-14 22:13:33.436] Need to specify at least one pool server.
Input server details.

Please help a beginner

The answer is right there: "Need to specify at least one pool server."

I've done it in the .bat file

cgminer.exe -o miningpoolhub.com:17246 -u asic -p x

The only way anybody could help is if you detailed your posts.
Don't expect to post "help" and hope everybody finds you a solution.

I tried to download cgminer 3.7.2

Why are you trying to download such an old version of CGMiner?

Dogecoin mining have problem with new versions.

CGMiner is a Bitcoin miner not an altcoin miner.  There have been forks of CGMiner that mine altcoins.  Check in the altcoin section for those forks.

Perhaps an acute nostalgia for the good old days? :p

I fire up an Jalapeno or USB Block Erupter once in a while to watch the CGMiner screen roll by.  Ah the good ole days

I can't fire my Jala since the AC adapter burned...
And I don't plug the BE's cause the 4 I never sold would burn my hubs and be no useful!
But since I've never bought any great hardware, I still have 3 RedFury and 7 Antminer U1 hashing away... Would it be considered "nostalgia" since I've never unpluged them? :p

What do you want for details Jay_Pal? I'm sorry I'm new to this and trying to learn
I have tried to write about the bat. file at least 50 times as I read one should do but it does not work

Try starting cgminer without the batch file right from command line with this:

Code:

cgminer.exe -o http://miningpoolhub.com:17246 -u asic -p x 

What happens then? If there´s still the specify pool message, there is something wrong with the pool address.

Yes, it says the same thing again

I've tried wht http://hub.miningpoolhub.com before and the same thing then

[der_wasi]

Then you need to check your pool url.

The problem isn't with CGMiner but with the pool.
You'll have to find their post and ask them what's wrong.

Ok yes now i understand! Thank you very much Jay_Pal!!

I'm using cgminer with a small number of 2pac bitcoin miners. In the USB menu there are a couple settings for Unplug and Reset. They don't seem to do anything to the miners. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Hi

Is there any way to obtain a unique ID of the miner using the CGMiner API? Or at least the Mac Address of the network interface?

In BMMiner I can see a field called miner_id into [STATS0] but not in CGMiner. And I think it would be a good feature. Some times miners change the IP address if you are using DHCP. It will help to keep track of the miner.

Thanks!

I´m not sure but maybe the miners don´t support that commands.

Why do you use DHCP in the first place? Set the device you´r mining with to a static IP.

[jdbravo]

With many miners it may be a pain... with DHCP it's much easier

[der_wasi]

What do you mean by "miners"? What hardware do you use?

Guys,

Technical question: How does CGminer split its job in an ASIC miner?

Background (I tried to go in depth in the C code but I still can't find the right function for it):
- I am trying to hack together a ASIC miners' hashing boards to work together in a particular way
- Assuming that it's for Bitcoin mining and given an ASIC miner like an Antminer S9 etc and assuming I have the drivers for it
- I know that Stratum will issue the extranonce2_size and other header details to CGminer
- How does CGminer split the job between the different boards/chips? I assume it splits the job based on the returned extranonce2 values generated as it doesn't look like a simple increment of the extranonce2 from 0x00 up.

Any ideas or fingers pointing in the right direction will be super appreciated.

Thanks all

I finally updated myself from an older version of CG miner to the current version for my U1.  When I used the start command line of

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u 12fvYKMQ7BgBuWqVfTvq8VH1TKnh7zNB3z.USB1 -p  --anu-freq 275 --suggest-diff 20

CGminer automatically picked it up as a AU3 not the ANU that it should have.  After a couple restarts it went back to recognizing it at an ANU.  No real issue, but when it was thinking it was a AU3 I was getting some weird error messages. 

Is there a way to force CGminer to only stick to ANU recognition?
