Neither cgminer or bfgminer (which MultiMiner uses) are going to detect your CPU. They do not come with CPU mining compiled in. If you want to CPU mine you'll need to recompile them yourself.

Regarding the GPU unfortunately I do not have that specific one so I'm not sure if or how it is supported. Do you have the AMD drivers I linked to installed?

The only uninstall I mentioned would be the WinUSB drivers if you had installed them in the past with Zadig. You are correct there is nothing of cgminer to "uninstall".

Can you run bfgminer (from within the Miners\bfgminer folder) with the following arguments:

Code:
bfgminer -S opencl:auto -d?

And then paste the results in this thread?

I wish I could. It closes instantly, without any error messages.

I've listed my hardware, I have an [email protected] Ghz and ATI Radeon 6900M. I've got the latest drivers and I've updated/installed everything from the original post. I've used cgminer vastly mining many cryptcoins via CPU or GPU, this may be the core problem but frankly I dunno how do remove the bastard since I've never installed it using only ready applications. Can't find anything in Appdata Local/Roaming neither.

Okay guys, I'm not getting it. I've downloaded the latest version, configured it properly (I think, but this is not the question), but I'm only getting a blank screen.
The program does not detect any mining devise which is really odd since I've been mining for quite a long time with other miners. Win7, i7, Radeon 6900M (yes, I use a laptop). Soooo....what could it be and why it is so, anyone?

Have you pressed on the first icon from the set of three on the top right and chose Scan Hardware?

Seems you have to do it the first time...

Of course I did it many times as I was reinstalling and cleansing my system. Nothing happens.




What hardware do you have? Have you used bfgminer or cgminer previously? Have you installed the drivers for the devices you have installed? See my original post for a list of drivers for different devices.

Note that if you have installed cgminer and WinUSB drivers in the past you will need to remove those and install the drivers that I link to.

thank you.

My only complaint is now, the optimized thread-concurrency I had with cgminer gives me a 'cannot find usb device..' or w/e error.  Sad

Please post screenshots or copy & paste the arguments and error. The errors contain details that help pinpoint the issue.

It sounds like you are now specifying arguments that are not used by bfgminer.

Are there any special parameters I need for bfgminer?
I'm use to cgminer and running solid 400kh/s (scrypt) but only getting 20kh/s with Multiminer.
ATI 7870

What arguments are you using to run cgminer?

If you click on Settings and then Advanced backend miner settings, you are given a dialog where you can enter Scrypt arguments:

Finally I got this

Looks like an issue installing bfgminer. Can you please try installing it yourself before running MultiMiner? There are instructions for that here: http://howto.xgminer.com

When I run that I get no errors and when I try to close the terminal it asks if I want to close it while mono-sgen is running.

Steps on where to enter that code please

Run the command in a command prompt (cmd) in the Miners\bfgminer folder where your MultiMiner executable is. Copy & paste the output in this thread please.

App doesn't open for me on Mac with 2.0.2, 2.0.1, and 2.0.0.52

I haven't tried any others.

Please launch Terminal.app and then run

Code:
mono ~/Downloads/MultiMiner.app/Content/Resources/MultiMiner.Win.exe

You may need to adjust the path if the app is not in your downloads folder. Please copy & paste any errors written to the console in this thread.

my cpu and gpu won't show up. I can't even press start. What do you say?

You need a build of bfgminer with CPU mining enabled in order to detect your CPU. Regarding the GPUs not showing that depends on what sort of GPUs you have. Please try running the following in the Miners\bfgminer folder:

Code:
bfgminer -S opencl:auto -d?

If you already have the debug version installed, will it still install the new debug version?

There's no need for the debug version anymore which is why I'm phasing it out. The full errors are now present in all builds (and have been for a while).
