Topic: cgminer showing 1969-12-31 timestamp (Read 274 times)
Thanks!
It's showing that it had no time source it could connect to and started mining at time epoch = 0
0 is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
So since yaw behind UTC (-5) it will display earlier than that to start with.
The start time is stored, not changed when the clock changes, so it wont change unless you restart cgminer after the clock is corrected.

Unless you're solo mining block errupters or other USB miners (which are way outdated), Ubuntu won't do much for you.
If you are using GPU's head over to the alt coin section.
If you are using really old hardware, don't expect them to do much for you.
And to answer your question, it shouldn't matter what time the program displays.

I'm running the latest version of cgminer on Ubuntu 18.04.03.
The output of timedatectl is:
However, when I run cgminer, it shows the starting date as 1969-12-31.
Will this affect my mining (BTC solo mining)? If so, how can i correct this?
