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

[-ck]

I have asked here before but never got an answer, so I'll try again.
When I call the api from my S3 via a scheduled tasks (cron job) and a script to restart via the API call:

Code:

cgminer-api restart

cgminer stops hashing but does not restart.

My question is: Why is cgminer not restarting and am I missing any arguments to the API call?

Restart has always been quite unreliable due to various in-driver structures that never clean up properly. Try it from the menu first to see if it works at all. You are better off quitting the existing binary and starting cgminer anew.

GPU mining was removed and support was dropped a long time ago from cgminer, please use software that is supporting it instead as you won't find help on this thread for it. I will move your post to the relevant altcoin mining section.

Sorry for offtopic. Thank you anyway.

can i set "rotate" via shortcut to a non integer number, for example 0.5?

You want to rotate pools every 30 seconds?  That's not enough time for the dynamic difficulty to kick in.

To answer your question though, most likely, no.

--rotate <arg>      Change multipool strategy from failover to regularly rotate at N minutes (default: 0)

yes i need 30 sec, 1 min is too much between workers, i'm using it to split the hash between multiple workers

i think it could be easily changed in the source, by putting seconds instead of minutes

o.O

I prefer  --balance to split the hash between multiple workers, so each worker get the same hashrate
Or use --load-balance with the --quota value, to set x % hashrate for each worker.

Good day,

i have a probem with Oscam

Code:

http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=30959

(and Easymouse2 Card Reader) and Cgminer on one Raspberry Pi???

They have USB conflicts and i don't know why?

root@sunwatch:~# ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188,  0 Dec  3 18:12 /dev/ttyUSB0 -> Easymouse

crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188,  9 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyUSB9

The Oscam runs but when i start cgminer i have this message in cgminer:

[2014-12-03 17:57:21] FAIL: USB get_lock not found (1:5)
[2014-12-03 17:57:23] Icarus detect (1:5) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)

and at the same time in Oscam:

EA3410 r orf-ice [mouse] ERROR: IO_Serial_GetStatus: ioctl(TIOCMGET): Input/output error
EA3410 r orf-ice [mouse] Error getting card status.

so i hope everyone has a solution???

So i think i have locate the problem, the problem is the "Icarus" driver the driver blocked the USB, without the Antminers U2 only with the Bitfury there is no problem

I have been setting up a fresh cgminer install but I am having consistent errors when trying to get my USB miner detected. Using zadig's driver but with no avail. Trudged through the internet looking for cures with no luck. Ive been using an older version of cgminer at the moment as the new ones still dont cure the problem as well. Any help would be very appreciated.

For starters, you're not even using the official cgminer of the thread you're asking questions in. There is no code in the official cgminer that has a driver called RMU, and the current version is 4.9.0.

Hi,

I need to inform you that latest AMD radeon driver especially the OMEGA file revision number isn't compatible with cgminer 4.8 as it crashes my GPU!

Until developers test cgminer with latest AMD driver as I specified, do not install that file revision for the time being!

Yeah, those were the days.  Kinda miss them.  Not the noise though.

That's fascinating considering there's no GPU code in cgminer. I don't miss having to deal with AMD's drivers one bit.

Still the same error with newer version.

[splat44]

Does support litecoin mining via cgminer 4.8?

After seeing possible options, I see no option using scrypt as oldest version!
All previous version lower than 4.0 has been removed!

Any feedback?

Sounds like you answered your own question.  I think GPU and scrypt was discontinued around 3.8 or 3.8.2.

FAQ

Q: Can I mine scrypt with FPGAs or ASICs?
A: No.

[rav3n_pl]

Last cgminer that support GPU was 3.7.x
If you need GPU mining go for sgminer fork: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer

@conman @kanoi: I have a core file I'd like you to take a look at, maybe, please?

Code:

#0  0x00041dc4 in usb_perform_transfer (cgpu=0xbe2910, usbdev=<optimized out>, intinfo=<optimized out>, epinfo=<optimized out>, data=0x0, length=0, transferred=0x0, timeout=0, mode=0, cmd=C_REJECTED, 
    seq=0, cancellable=false, tt=false) at usbutils.c:3061
3061		else if ((endpoint & LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_DIR_MASK) == LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_IN && *transferred)

Hmm, that C_REJECTED command isn't even meant to be something to be sent to the usb as a transfer so no idea how it ends up with that combination - it ends up trying to send nothing. I'll poke around the code and see if there's something obvious.

FWIW, I moved them to a BBB I had an the issue ceased, so assuming it's the as usual buggy Rpi usb/enet driver

[canford]

Would a command line switch to specifically enable/disable certain Bitmain USB devices be possible?  I am running cgminer under Win7x32 with 12 Bitmain U2s.  I limit the number of usb devices to 12, and when all goes well the result is:



Then, unpredictably this can happen:



Sometimes you can fix it by quitting and restarting cgminer, other times a reboot is necessary.  Obviously not a priority, negligible hash rate I'm maintaining because it's on my desk and I don't want to throw away the gear.  The U2s also randomly disappear or go zombie once every few days, so I scheduled regular reboots.

Thanks ckolivas for great software.  I've been mining with cgminer for 15 months now.  I haven't sold any of the mined BTC, so the fiat return to date is -49%.  It is more about supporting something I believe in than trying to make a profit.  I'm up to 7 TH/s now, but BTC would have to go back above $640 for the operation to be in the black.

Hello,

anyone have an idea about this failure?
