Topic: OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.0 - page 335. (Read 5805537 times)

Is it possible to use cgminer to connect to multiple pools of different coins (like Litecoin, Feathercoin, WorldCoin)?

I am concerned about this "new block in pool x detected". So lets say I'm mining Litecoin at the moment (pool 0), and a new block in Feathercoin (pool 1) is detected - does that have a negative effect?

how to enable usb autoscan?

If i start cgminer with an usb device already plugged-in, it works.
If i plug it while a cgminer session is running, nothing happens...

regards bcm42

There is only one thread concurrency and look-up-gap value... it is for all cards... That is high, by the way, and an odd setting. I thought they had to be power-of-two... 1024, 2048, 4096, (8192)default, 16384, 32768, 65536

I get that error if I put a non-power-of-two value, or a value higher than 8192 with my 7970's. (My PCIe slots turn into (8x/8x/4x) with 3+ cards installed... but 1x risers used on all cards.) Thus, my setting has to stay as 4096 for stability.

There's really no competition, IMO.

I'm having this same issue, except that I am using Windows 8 and the latest version of CGMiner (3.1.1, I think). I have AMD SDK 2.7 and Catalyst 13.1 drivers. I am pretty sure my .conf file is formatted correctly, and I do have settings for "thread-concurrency" : "21712,21712", and "kernel" : "scrypt" and "lookup-gap" : "2,2" in the .conf file. I am running two 7950 GPUs. I have read the scrypt readme file.

What am I doing wrong??

Your nas probably has a weird way of enumerating usb devices. Like the read me says, auto almost never works right.

Yes, I did. Cgminer didn't start with no error message.
I tried to generate .conf file by cgminer too.
BUT: My lancelots are driven by NAS (arm architecture like pi is) machine, running debian. I'm using cgminer 3.1.1. in screen because of remote access. When I tried to press "S", it cleared terminal and didn't do anything else. Double CTRL+C ended cgminer. I don't know it's cgminer issue, or something wrong with debian or so. My second machine with GPUs is running ubuntu, cgminer 2.11.4 and everything is OK. I didn't try to use 2.11.4 on NSA, because I'm at work just now ;-)

Have you tried s auto?

I'm sorry if it was solved here before, but this thread is so huge 

Anyone have functional .conf file for multiple Icarus/Lancelot boards?
I don't want to have -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 .... -S /dev/ttyUSBx ... on command line
I tried to use:
...
"scan-serial" : "/dev/ttyUSB0",
"scan-serial" : "/dev/ttyUSB1" 
...

in .conf file, but it takes only the first record, so only one board is mining.
Any help, please?

 

Well, I seem to have solved my issues.  I un-installed Catalyst, and then re-installed it.  I also noticed that I was trying to use my "tweaked" core/mem settings from my Gigabyte cards on the new Sapphire cards.  Everything in running much better now.   

Thanks for the quick response ckolivas!  I've read over the FAQ until my eyes are nearly bleeding and I swear I didn't see anything about this.  I'll check again though.  I've already got dummy plugs in all of the cards, so I guess my next task is to figure out how to revert back to an older driver.  Any suggestions on which one to try, and more importantly how to change it?   

This is screaming of the driver bug where it's only mining on one card as it says in the README FAQ. Might need a driver change or dummy plugs to get out of this mess.

Ok...I'm officially at a loss!  

I have a BTC miner that was running just fine with (2) Gigabyte 7970's in it, so I decided to add (2) Saphire 7970's and it's totally screwed up now! ARGHHH!  The two Gigabyte cards are directly connected to the mobo, and the new Saphire cards are connected via PCIe1X - 16X powered riser cables.  I don't know how, but I was able to get one of the Saphires working for a brief period of time (approximately 10 mins), before things crashed.  Now it seems like cgminer only distributes work to GPU0.  It's running at 99% and the other three are at 0%.  I feel like I'm missing something glaringly obvious.  I was hoping to see 2500+ Mh/s out of this rig, but now I'm stuck at 660 Mh/s.  Anybody got any ideas?  


OS:  Ubuntu 12.10
Miner:  cgminer 3.0.1
GPU's:  (2) Gigabyte 7970's & (2) Saphire 7970's
Catalyst Version:  I believe it's 12.9 (fglrx 9.0.2)
APP-SDK:  V2.8
ADL-SDK: 5.0

use commas in your settings

Does anyone know how I would go about setting up my bat file for 2 different cards?  I have a 7950 fully optimized in terms of hash rate but I'm trying to add 3x 6870s into the rig as well.  I have a separate .bat file for the 6870s but I want to know if it's possible to use one profile to mine all 4 cards?  Since the TC for the 7950 is different from the 6870s, is it still possible?

I'm using Catalyst 12.1 and SDK 2.5 and have been very stable for a long time with my "OLD OLD Cards" which are a 5830 and 5770.  If you have installed a later SDK you will have bad results and from what I understand it is very hard to roll back the OpenCL SDK.

I am getting exactly the same error that you are when trying to install for a guy who has 5 HD5870s. No matter what drivers I use I get the same issue.
I have updated OPENCL, SDK, Catalyst to several different versions and I still cannot get CGMiner working with HD5870's. Im hitting a brick wall. Maybe I will need to try his install on Windows (I really dont want to). But if its the only way I can get him mining with these OLD OLD Cards..  It may be his configuration setup with an Intel based Motherboard, I don't know but this install is taking forever.. With HD7950's I can get up and mining in a few minutes.

Here is a link to a hardware comparison chart that I used when selecting my GPU's.  The 2400 is not listed at all.

I'm getting a segmentation fault when I mine FreiCoin in the "http://pool.freico.in:9638" pool.  When I mine BitCoins or scrypt I don't see any issues.  I'm running 3.1.1 that I compiled on a 32bit Debian installation.  This is the same behavior I experienced on 3.1.0.  Hopefully I haven't missing something in the README, this time.
