Topic: MultiMiner: Any Miner, Any Where, on Any Device (Free, Open Source, Cross Platform) - page 138. (Read 827336 times)

I am having an issue getting multi miner to start on OSX mavericks 10.9.  I've installed mono 3.2.4 and Xquartz 2.7.5.  When I start MultiMiner I get the screen asking to download cgminer and bfgminer, whichever of the three options I select, the window goes away and mono-sgen goes to 100% cpu, and no further windows appear.

I did download 3.7 and extracted it to the miners folder for multiminer v2.

Here's the crash log for MultiMiner v2...

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:


   


When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I don't use any arguments with BFGMiner 3.6 (I just run it, and add the devices myself erupter:all). After that I have it set for Balanced, 256 workload, 2 GPU threads, with a 6 intensity.

I've tried MultiMiner 2 and it crashes on my end.

-I D --scan-serial all --scan-serial opencl:auto -o coinotron.com:8322 -u USERNAME-p PASSWORD -d 0 -d 1 --api-listen --api-port 4029 --api-allow W:127.0.0.1, -T

Just for reference, I *DID* blank out my username and password.

MultiMiner detects my block erupters, but only utilizes one of the two. BFGMiner by itself will run both, so MultiMiner not running both is baffling. I've had them hooked up into my front USB ports, with success, and my USB3 ports on my motherboard directly, also with success.

BFGMiner is great, but saw recently it have some tweaks and improvements and code purposes still required, especially on Mac. It was impossible to make it work last week with scrypt & CPU/GPU on a OSX. LukeJr said coders are free to come and improve BFGMiner on Mac computers.

Currently you can use MobileMiner to monitor and control your multiple mining rigs. The future plan is to allow MultiMiner to detect other instances of MultiMiner on a network and allow once instance to control all of them.

In my opinion there's no need for a fork. All that is needed is for someone to contribute to bfgminer. It is only if nobody decides to contribute to bfgminer that scrypt and GPU support will probably be axed from that as well.

There's lots of folks on the Litecoin forum forking cgminer and I get emails from folks also interested in forking. To me it just seems like a much more straight forward and beneficial path to improve the scrypt support in bfgminer.

Personally, as the developer of a GUI miner, I'd much rather just support one miner backend. Version 2.0 will have many more features because I don't have to code to the "lowest common denominator" backend. Even if a fork of cgminer were to become popular and widely used, I'd have to see a significant advantage to switch back to supporting multiple backends.

Sad to see with so many coming into Scrypt mining now that we're stuck with no more updates. Hoping that the Scrypt fork gets off the ground, wish I still had some programming skills.

I have always used CGminer. I have been doing a little reading on BFGminer since MultiMiner wont support it anymore. I am not 100% sure so just thought I would ask, Does if fully support scrypt mining?  

Just say that as an idea but if Multiminer could manage from one place (desktop computer, mobile), many mining hardware and / or Rigs (many peoples still uses rigs for ltc or gld), it could be great.
