Topic: MultiMiner: Any Miner, Any Where, on Any Device (Free, Open Source, Cross Platform) - page 143. (Read 827336 times)

I'm having issues with latest update of cgminer 3.8.0 (which has been just updated)...

MM alerted me of the update, clicked on the link and it started to update.
Closed MM and reopened it and it still alerts me of the update, so downloaded it manually and pu it in correct folder of MM.
Opened cgminer standalone to make sure it is 3.8.0 (which is) and reopened MM.
Still reporting there is an update to 3.8.0 stating that 3.7.2 is installed!!
Start button is grayed out

Is anyone running MultiMiner on Windows 8.1 and having issues with the program slowing down regularly (mining unaffected)? I've had a few reports of this, but finally got around to installing 8.1 and have been unable to reproduce any issues thus far.

So far with bfgminer its only detecting the 30 usb sticks. For the blues not detecting them even tho managed to get drivers instaleld and working now. Going to restart and see whats what.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. I have one that should be coming that I can use to test with but any information you can give would be great.

I have had a few problems however am working though them as could not get  miners working proper so formatted and started fresh. IF I get chance ill post some details on them providing i get them working

It should work fine in theory. However I do not yet have one for testing so I cannot say for sure.

is multi miner working with the new blue fury usb sticks ?

I want to say a big thank you to bronan for sending a BFL unit across the pond for me to test with. This is simply amazing and truly appreciated. It will without a doubt help improve the range of devices that MultiMiner supports, thereby helping other users as well.

Thank you bronan!!!

Edit: And it's installed in my dev rig and hashing away in MultiMiner! One more device official supported  

I know I've asked you for some details on this before. Forgive me if you've done any of this already but can you do a few things for me and I'll look into this again:

• Forward me any emails you shouldn't have received
• Check your phone's push notifications - did you get the same notification at the same time on your phone?
• Send me your MobileMiner app key

Today I got an e-mail notification from MobileMiner (1:42PM Eastern). I don't have e-mail notifications set up in MobileMiner on any of my devices. Why am I getting an e-mail?

Thanks!

Still the same error. Your system is throwing a COM exception when MultiMiner tries to use User32.dll to unzip the downloaded miner. To fix the issue I can only recommend Googling:

https://www.google.com/search?q=System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException%3A+Exception+has+been+thrown+by+the+target+of+an+invocation.+---%3E+System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException+(0x80004005)%3A+Unspecified+error+(Exception+from+HRESULT%3A+0x80004005+(E_FAIL))&oq=System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException%3A+Exception+has+been+thrown+by+the+target+of+an+invocation.+---%3E+System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException+(0x80004005)%3A+Unspecified+error+(Exception+from+HRESULT%3A+0x80004005+(E_FAIL))

To work around there error though you can download either cgminer or bfgminer yourself and unzip them into the proper folder in the Miners\ folder. MultiMiner will only try to download it if it does not exist.

Ok so I removed everything as I said I would now when installing new version

Running Windows 7 x64 and I just done a fresh install due to other things messing up and still have the same error after installing all drivers. Will try to remvoe all the data of this and try reinstalling.

What OS? Looks like a COM error to me. Nothing changed in the code giving you issues.

new error after installing new version client will run says do you want to download cgminer or bfg miner as not installed so i click iver cgminer or bfg miner or both i get this

Awesome - thanks so much!  That's a fantastic treat.

Nwoolls-

Just sent you a another donation, this time for 10 LTC for your continued hard work on this, as well as the quick fix today. Hoping you keep supporting Cgminer, but I imagine it's been a lot of work keeping up with all the changes on the mining app side and coinchoose.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Folks - I truly apologize for the errors you've run into yesterday and in the past. As you know MultiMiner is really just a pretty face over things like bfgminer, cgminer, and CoinChoose.com. Sometimes those things change in subtle (or not so subtle) ways and this causes MultiMiner to have an unhandled exception.


It sounds good in theory but is poor practice as a developer. The more I "handle everything" the less I am able to properly detect and diagnose these issues when they do happen. So unfortunately, at times, I must play catch-up.

That said, version 1.3.46 is available as a prerelease and should address the latest issues, including:

• Fixed errors checking for cgminer updates (due to their new 3.6.6-1 versioning pattern)
• Handle argument exceptions checking for cgminer and bfgminer updates by showing a notification
• Make checking for cgminer and bfgminer updates optional
• Make bfgminer the default mining engine for new users
• When upgrading a mining engine, don't stop mining if that engine isn't being used

The change to make bfgminer the default miner is not necessarily a reflection on the stability or quality of cgminer as much as a reflection of the volatility of that project lately.

Edit: To be perfectly clear this is my bug, not a bug in cgminer per se. My comments are more to do with the sheer number of changes from the cgminer crew lately, including this one. It's difficult to keep up with on a project that is essentially a hobby.
