So CGminer will no longer be supported, even just locking the version down for GPU's of the last supported version?

It will remain working with the v1.4 line for MultiMiner. The device detection in v2.0 is rewritten.

The problem (among others) is that device detection and device specification for bfgminer and cgminer is going in two wildly different and incompatible directions. Both cgminer and bfgminer are starting to return different information for the -d? output, and both are starting to require different input arguments for specifying individual devices reliably.

Personally, what I would like is for these miners (bfgminer, cgminer, cudaminer, cpuminer, whatever) to have a standard way to:

  • List available mining devices
  • Mine with a specific list of devices
  • Gather output and details on mining progress

If Luke and Con felt up to doing this I think it would rock for both me and other GUI authors.

If someone wants to help contribute to the source code and keep cgminer compatibility that works for me too.

Unfortunately all I get is "process crashed" all the time.  Thanks for the effort, but it isn't working on my end.

If MultiMiner is crashing it should give a full crash log and I would appreciate the text if you can copy & paste it.

If cgminer or bfgminer are crashing there is not much I can do there and I would direct you to their respective threads.

Forgive me if this has already been asked. But is there a way to change the settings per device?
I have several GPUs but they are different series and would benefit from independent settings.

Is this possible?

Yes, you can supply any additional miner arguments via the Settings dialog. You can use this to pass in per-device settings (for instance -g 1,2). See the cgminer and bfgminer READMEs for more details.

Terracoin was reporting blank difficulty.  It is fixed now.

I guess my question is if there is still a need for my API? 

I would say yes. It's the default API used by MultiMiner and the only free one that I know of. The CoinWarz API is paid.

Does coinchoose still work? I have been getting the "Error Parsing Coin Choose JASON " error all day long on all of my miners.

There was an issue earlier with some of the coins reporting a blank difficulty. I reported it to sal002.

Suggestion: Is it possible to implement an option to be able to start Multiminer already minimized in the notification area? I mean when the pc start-up. It is simply because i don't see the point of having to minimize it out of the way each time i start or restart the pc when everything is already set-up to run automatic in my configuration. I am guessing that shouldn't be too much difficult. Just a suggestion...

Sure thing, I'll add it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion.  Grin

And in the Configure Strategies Dialogue under Check Every can you add the option for 2 hours now that there is CoinWarz API limitations pls?
Currently there is 1h and then 3h...

Thanks.

If anyone out there wants to live on the bleeding edge and try out the 2.0 branch, here you go:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5svd3f1er3dqo48/MultiMiner-Debug-2.0.0.50.zip

This requires bfgminer built from the current unreleased Git sourcecode:

http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/webisect/webisect.php?dobuild=bfgminer

Changes include:

  • It is now possible to to mine several different coins across several different USB devices (previously this was troublesome as USB devices may be in use)
  • It is now possible to mine with both Block Erupters and Blue / Red Fury simultaneously
  • Per-device settings now do a better job of "sticking" when devices are added or removed
  • Improved device descriptions
  • Support for cgminer has been removed
  • Support for bfgminer 3.7 has been added (and is the minimum supported version)
  • MultiMiner will no longer prompt to automatically upgrade to major new releases (e.g. from 1.0 to 2.0)
  • Migrated to Semantic Versioning (major.minor.patch.build)
