Hi, I'm pretty new to cgminer, have been using it to mine LTC, connecting to pools, and it worked great. Now I've switched to p2pool and there's a problem with (some of) my rigs: when p2pool isn't running (like when I reboot the machine that runs p2pool) cgminer just quits! It just stops working (tried all 2.11.x versions in windows 7), the window disappears and cgminer never restarts when p2pool is back up. This has never happened with other pools, only with p2pool... is there some special option needed to make cgminer "try" to connect to my local p2pool until it's back online and not just quit?

That's the ubuntu binary I guess? I'll rebuild it without needing dynamic libjansson
Yep, it's the Ubuntu binary.
I keep heavily marked up printouts of the README and SCRYPT-README my desk, Con, so at least one person has read them!

Maybe not exactly a cgminer question...
I have to identical cards. How can i examine which one is gpu0 and which one is gpu1??

Having an issue, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I'm aware I should be able to go up to ~20000 TC, what's up?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, I tried to compile cgminer on OSX 10.6.8 with scrypt option to mine litecoin but when i start it I get this error
any hint to fix it?
Nope. Doesn't look like the scrypt opencl kernel compiles on the OSX opencl implementation. You're screwed. Quote

I now dont know further. I installed the driver for intel 3000 gpu, chipsetdriver and newest beta of catalyst for the 7970M. Then installed AMD OpenCL SDK 2.7 because i have read 2.8 is faulty.
But -n shows still only one GPU. At least its the 7970M. It shows Error -1: Getting Device IDs (num).
Starting cgminer brings this error again and then a black screen while the card is running. When i see at the pool (bitparking) the hashrate starts with a crazy high value and constantly drops then even though the gpu seems to run because of high temperature and high clockrates (gpu-z). I believe nothing is sent then anymore.
So what could i try now?

Hi there,
i hope its ok to write such problems here.
Its my first try to add some performance using the cgminer. The setup is Windows7 64 and 2x7950.
Thats the error i get right after starting:

I now have another system to test. It has a AMD Radeon HD 7970M and a intel 3000. Its strange but cgminer.exe -n only shows the 7970M as a gpu, not the 3000. It was another way with an nvidia platform. There were 2 platforms and both gpus could mine.
The thing is... when i start mining, regardless if for bitcoins or litecoins, it starts, then the screen turns black and thats all. The fan is working hard. When i check the hashrate at the pool i see a hashrate going down and more down. Im not sure what happens because i cant see anything. When i try the debug-flag the whole thing is crashing.

Hi guys, I'm trying to mining LTC using 2x5870 with this line:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -u xxxx -p x --script
The command "--scrypt" aren't accepted by cgminer!
the output is: [2013-04-07 12:51:40] cgminer: --scrypt: unrecognized option
Then i tried with cgminer --enable-scrypt, but the output is:
cgminer: --enable-scrypt: unrecognized option
Even if the command "--enable-scrypt" is on the README file!

If you want to use scrypt you should write scrypt and not script...
April 10, 2013, 05:50:50 PM
Why?
4x7950 exactly like your card mines with 4GB system ram with:--scrypt -pool:port -O user:pass --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 21712 -g 1 -w 256 -I 19

I can't seem to monitor cgminer (2.11.4) with a web front end (Anubis) when I'm scrypt mining. If I do normal BTC mining it works fine. I've tried to explicitly set the api port to 4028 using the --api-port switch but it still doesn't work.
April 09, 2013, 10:08:16 PM
EDIT: Found out I don't have enough system ram for that high of thread-concurrency. Lower thread-concurrency's work.

Hi all
I've been trying to mine litecoins using cgminer. I managed to connect to my pool ok but after running it for about 5 minutes I had q=20 a=1
I only had 5 minutes but I don't think those results look good. If I was mining for Bitcoin I would have had a lot more shares accepted in 5 minutes mining
Is there something going wrong?
Thanks

Something wrong here?
Kano, I apologize, but I do not understand what you're saying or trying to have me understand here. Please explain.
Thanks.
As for Platform - when reading the README, search for the word "platform" (F3 or Ctrl-F or whatever the search key is)
You have an unusual setup - so you will need to read and understand more of the README ...

Yeah I read that and it has nothing to do with my error since I'm getting way to HIGH (read, not LOW) hashrates. I normally get 170Mh with -I 4 and when I tune things I get around 200Mh, but NOT 3000Mh.
BTCGuild web interface reports ~50MH/s
Your hashrate is lower than it should be. Jump to:
