What do I do if cgminer stops responding even when I run it with no tags except --scrypt? I can't get it to make a .bin file so I can see the TC.

New question : CG miner reports that difficulty is set to 526k. This seems overmuch as the current difficulty of CHNcoin is 8. How do i change this ?
CGMiner reports what the network is saying. If it says 526k, then it's 526k. Are you sure you're on the right pool/network?

It's funny you've quoted README's two times now without solving anything, kind of like you're telling me to RTFM while actually you don't really know what you're talking about.
Here's the answer https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2030732
still puzzled by your avatar though
I guess someone could make youtube video reading the FAQ and Readme's to you so you wouldn't have to actually RTFM for yourself.
Reading The Fine (or other term) Manual may be more productive than telling one of the author's of the software "actually you don't really know what you're talking about. ".
Just sayin,

Hi guys. Quick question : i'm trying to solo mine CHNcoin and when I run my freshly created solomine.bat, I get error -61. WHat does it mean and how do I er...." decrease TC or increase LG" I don't know what those two settings even mean.
Is it because overclocking software was started at boot or some other process is interfering with CG miner ?
thanks in advance for replying.

Thanks Kano. Your avatar is fascinating, by the way. Is that a picture of you trying to provoke your audience into thinking you are about to sever your forearm with a katana blade ?
Anyhoo.
Turns out I didn't set the MAX ALLOCATION too 100%. That fixed it.

well, the intensity was set a -1 on the little machine that i am playing with. moving it to 5 raised the hash rate from 6Mhash to 10Mhash. moving it to 6 looked like it caused the rate to drop a little, so 5 it is.
10Mhash/s? how do you get the Mhash ? ty
Did i mislabel? isn't Mhs, Mega Hashes? I've only been into this for about 2 weeks so it would be easy for me to mispeak.
No, just misunderstood me I think. I was intending to ask what your mining device was that was getting only 6 to 10Mhs/s. But you said you were getting a Radeon 6570 which can get you 68 to 100Mhs/s.

Hi!
I have a smaller issue I have tested with 2.11, 2.11.2, 3.0 and 3.1 to date. I mine Scrypt coins, namely feathercoin and litecoin.
I have noticed that seemingly random, Cgminer crashes after Stratum disconnect. Usually, the server looses connection and cgminer will restart work after Stratum at pool 0 requests work restart.
Sometimes, after the disconnect, Cgminer crashes completely.
I use a Gigabyte 7970, Windows 8 professional, Ati driver version 8.982-120727a-144338C-Rage 6.
I use the following commands : --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256
Yes unfortunately the library that does the communications, libcurl, seems to continually be the cause of subtle bugs with stratum. It's ironic that most crashes we've spent a lot of time tracking down are the software bits we didn't write ourselves I've been tempted to rewrite all that part to do it raw, but it would lose the proxy and ipv6 support (though people don't seem to be able to use the ipv6 and the number of proxy users is small).I have a smaller issue I have tested with 2.11, 2.11.2, 3.0 and 3.1 to date.

ipv6 is quite annoying on Windows 8 computers anyway. For some reason, Microsoft managed to implement it in a way that almost always leaks your DNS even when you are behind a VPN.

What hardware are you using for mining?
I'm using an Asus C60M1-I AMD C-60/ AMD FCH A50M/ DDR3/ SATA3/ A&V&GbE/ Mini ITX Motherboard & CPU Combo
The goals for this little miner were low cost an low power. as it sits it cost $180 dollars and is using about 40 watts. i'm going to be adding a sapphire 6570 video card tomorrow. that will bring the cost up to about $240.
Are you CPU or GPU mining currently? Not that it matters at this point I guess. Since you'll be mining 80 to 100Mhs tomorrow.

GPU mining, but this board doesn't have a traditional Video card. I think it is attached to the CPU.

just what is "intensity"?
Did you see this?
--intensity|-I
and what does that mean? how does it affect miner output?
INTENSITY INFORMATION:
Intensity correlates with the size of work being submitted at any one time to
a GPU. The higher the number the larger the size of work. Generally speaking
finding an optimal value rather than the highest value is the correct approach
as hash rate rises up to a point with higher intensities but above that, the
device may be very slow to return responses, or produce errors.
NOTE: Running BTC intensities above 9 with current hardware is likely to only
diminish return performance even if the hash rate might appear better. A good
starting baseline intensity to try on dedicated miners is 9. 11 is the upper
limit for intensity while BTC mining, if the GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS variable
is set (see FAQ). The upper limit for sha256 mining is 14 and 20 for scrypt.
well, the intensity was set a -1 on the little machine that i am playing with. moving it to 5 raised the hash rate from 6Mhash to 10Mhash. moving it to 6 looked like it caused the rate to drop a little, so 5 it is.

I tried to setup cgminer 3.1.0 with the simpliest settings
cgminer.exe -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -scrypt
Try --scrypt instead of -scryptcgminer.exe -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -scrypt
I AM AN IDIOT!
i think i can figure it out an post the result here.ok something was messed up with the driver installation.
Iam getting "only" 550 khs right now. I need now to find out how to implement a config file into all this and which settings for the card to put in
