Is there anyway I can include a comment in my cgminer.conf file?
I tried /* comment */ but it crashes.
No. You can put unused objects:I tried /* comment */ but it crashes.
"janssonsux" : "yes it does"
However, they will be lost if you write the settings back to the file from cgminer.
"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool1.us.multipool.in:3348" : " MegaCoin (MEC) ",
cgminer.exe: -c: JSON decode of file 'MultiPool_Miner_Aurum.conf' failed '}' expected near ':'
"url" : "http://sendyourcoinstome.cam:3334",
"url_666" : "damn I hate json",
You can't break the json rules.

On debian-derived systems you can install the apt-file packages to allow search for packages that provide specific files.

Anyone have any clue why multiple people have noticed weird hashrate increases a few nights ago while using LTC in cgminer? See the posts here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2789664
Apparently over the night a few nights ago, while tinkering with my 7970 (which was not performing as well as it should be, but it never has), it just decided to work while I was sleeping. Upped the hashrate from 522KH/s to >700KH/s (which it should be getting) for no reason. I checked it's status the next morning, and it instantly decided to go back to it's slow 522KH/s. Havn't been able to get it back up to the faster speeds since.
This wasn't just CGMiner mis-reporting the hashrate, either. The WU: rate was much higher than it had been. And other people have noticed similar issues. I'm not sure if their issue was the same night as mine, as I think our dates were 1 night off.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Totally bizarre, and apart from "maybe it was a cold night", I have no idea. Share submission certainly does have periods of higher luck overall and vice versa, but not the hashrate as you've described.

I seem to have a problem where if I restart cgminer multiple times, eventually it stops hashing at full power and only does like 40 mhash. Also, when this happens, my computer graphics performance takes a nose dive, the mouse starts jumping around, etc.
I am using win8 x64 with the latest AMD beta driver. Anyone else having this issue?

Whats the max number of devices you can run on cgminer.
People have been running multiple dozens of ASICs using many USB hubs. For GPUs, there are driver limitations that top out at 8, but getting more than 4-6 can be a giant PITA. July 22, 2013, 10:03:41 PM

I tried running cgminer on windows 8 for the first time today and I didn't have any luck. It works fine for btc but I can't get scrypt to work. It stopped responding on windows. Is there a known issue with it?
What drivers/SDK? The newer ones don't work. I'm using Windows 7 and all the latest ATI drivers, SPP and SDK work fine for 7970s. But, I cannot mine scrypt on 5970s to save my life. The documentation confuses me. SCRYPT-README.txt says, "The choice of driver version for your GPU is critical, as some are known to
break scrypt mining entirely while others give poor hashrates. As for the OpenCL SDK installed, for AMD it must be version 2.6 or later." But the GPU-README.txt says, "The best version for Radeon 5xxx and 6xxx is v2.5, while 7xxx cards need v2.6 or later, 2.7 seems the best." (2.8.1 works fine with my 7970s.)
So I installed the latest drivers from Catalyst 13.4, the latest SDK v5.0 and SPP v2.5. I compiled CGMiner 3.3.1 and 5970s cannot mine scrypt. I noticed during compiling that "--enable scrypt" is an unrecognized option. I also tried:
CFLAGS="-O2 -msse2" --disable-option-checking ./configure --enable-scrypt
but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
1) Do not use 13.4 with Scrypt. Actually even 13.1 won't work. Uninstall the drivers/SDK on your computer, and install 12.8 drivers (with included SDK).
2) You're building from source on Windows? Have you tried running the available binaries to see if that fixes it?
It's just like magic!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you...

You do not need to install ADL SDK. That's only for building cgminer.
I am trying to build cgminer for Windows, see: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2774998
Why are you compiling cgminer yourself when there is an already compiled Windows version available? All you would need to do is install your catalyst drivers, set your parameters, and go.
Yes, I'll try that first. But, it didn't work before when I tried it with Catalyst 12.6. I sure hope 12.8 is the answer.
