Those USB miners are really fast!!

Yes with 3.1.1 you need to tell it what they are.

If they are AMU then
--icarus-timing 2.9761=100 --icarus-options 115200:1:1

If they are something else ... ?

They are USB block erupters. Everything looks good for a while, and then suddenly a few of them start showing really high hash rates.

2 questions when running under linux.

~~1. Is there a kill signal to stop cgminer gracefully?~~
2. If i run cgminer with a config file, does sending the "restart" command via the API make cgminer re-read the config file if its been edited by hand before restarting?

Edit:-
just figured out answer to 1 myself. A normal kill on cgminer pid made it stop gracefully.

1) Press 'Q', or: start cgminer with --api-listen --api-allow w:127.0.0.1 and java API quit or echo -n quit | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo or ... etc
2) Yes but you are better to run it in a loop and use 'quit' rather than 'restart'

Send me a CM1 and I'll get it working ...

That is an offer that someone should take advantage of.

The idea of someone/something releasing a new mining device and then expecting a developer of the code to run that mining device to BUY and then develop the code to support it.........

WTF is the thinking behind that?

seems like i have to go back to bfgminer Sad

tried cm1 with --icarus-options with different configs baud:4:1 baud:2:1 baud:1:1 and still crashes... it seems its the dynamic bitstream...

oh well... thanks for the efforts... when i figure out how to change the bitstream to makomk it should be ok to come back Sad

Yep there are multiple CM1 bitstreams.
Since I don't have a CM1 I've not tried to handle the non-Icarus bitstreams.
Send me a CM1 and I'll get it working ...

How can I do 75%/45 minutes pool 0 , 25%/15 minutes pool 1 , is that round robin.

You cannot.

That degree of control no one has been able to prove to me there are any circumstances that it serves any useful purpose, so I never bothered to implement such tight scheduling over pool share submission. Optimising your share submission to not lose work and/or sharing to minimise variance are all you need.

This would be the only real reason, I guess:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mine-in-multiple-pools-to-reduce-variance-78031

In other words, if you are mining at two pools and one is large and one is small, you actually might be increasing you variance (vs just mining at the large pool alone) if you mine at them 50/50.

But to be super useful, you'd want something like "BALANCE" combined with some API options to change the ratios on the fly so that some outside script could periodically use pool APIs to determine total hashrate and then use cgminer API to tweak the ratios appropriately.

I believe what you want looks like:
cgminer --rotate 15 -o http://pool0:port -u pool0username -p pool0password -o http://pool0:port -u pool0username -p pool0password -o http://pool0:port -u pool0username -p pool0password -o http://pool1:port -u pool1usernmae -p pool1password

Is there a thread that explains multiple pools set up for cgminer.

The README included does all that and more. Exciting stuff!

I am trying this ,

add pool
write config file
open config file

how do I specify time spent on each pool ?

--------------Readme-------------------
--rotate Change multipool strategy from failover to regularly rotate at N minutes (default: 0)

I found https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/need-help-adding-a-2nd-pool-to-cgminer-batch-and-load-balancing-68901 yesterday. Pooling to bitminter and slush's nicely with the new config file.

Quote from: mdude77 on July 06, 2013, 06:10:08 AM

are you using active cooling on the USB erupters? if not that might be the source of your crashing. (just a guess, I don't do linux)

M

Yeah. My fan only only arrived today, so we'll see if that helps, but I'm sceptical. The whole thing stops all at once, whereas with overheating I would have expected individual Erupters to stop without necessarily shutting cgminer down

This https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.615755 is the closest I've found to any sort of automated reconnection. I think it's for a screen thing or something, which I'm not familiar with. I don't know how to alter or implement that script for auto-restart of failed cgminer

@ micalith , cheers for the link to the OT
