When I go above version 2.10.5 with my singles I just get the following. Both the newer versions seem to do it, never had any issues upgrading before.


you need to install the windows USB drivers.  read the FPGA-Readme.txt included in the cgminer folder.

driver is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/

when you grab the driver, note that XP uses a different driver than vista/7.
Note that doing this will break all applications using the standard driver...

IIRC that driver was specific for the usb controller chip in BFL singles. which nothing else I have uses, and I sure have my share of usb crap.

so, who cares?

PS as always, feel free to correct me if Im wrong.
BFL doesn't have a special driver, it uses the standard FTDI driver installed automatically when you plug it in.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

IIRC that original standard driver was specific for the usb controller chip in BFL singles. which nothing else I have uses, and I sure have my share of usb crap (of course other stuff I dont have  may use it).

also, the new driver can be installed along side of the chip specific driver. it doesnt need to replace it.

so, who cares?

What are rules of switching back from Stratum to Getwork? More and more users report me that their miners fall back to getwork and don't go back to Stratum (X-Stratum is included, of course). This probably happen during/after pool restart (users reported that after I made last pool release with vardiff code), when Stratum pool is down for ~3 seconds. Not sure about all cgminer versions affected, but some users are using 2.10.5.
If they specify the stratum protocol as stratum+tcp:// it will continue to try to connect to stratum indefinitely. The problem is many people don't specify that or even specify http:// and cgminer does its best to guess what it should be.

2.11.2 has changes the pool connection handling quite a bit.
Tell them to try 2.11.2

hi,
i look at my log for cgminer 2.11.0 ( win7 x64 ; GPU drv - 12.6 ; SDK 2.8 )
and i see something strange :
Code:
 [2013-03-07 11:50:19] Rejected 51eafd38 Diff 3/1 GPU 1 pool 0 ((-2, u'Duplicate share', Non
.....
should I be worried about this messages?
Yes. What pool and protocol? Some pools have been really struggling of late so it's the likely culprit.

pool : http://btcoxygen.com
protocol : Stratum Server: BTCOxygen.com:3333 (Stratum)

CGminer now crashes every time i start it, witrh 2.11.2  Sad
The 2 usual reasons for this are: Mixed versions of different driver files installed, and virus software interfering.

Tested on a machine with no AV, so its gota to be driver issues... any i idea on how I can debug?

I am still having issues.. Card is clocked at stock speeds and everything is up to date...



Keep getting Invalid Nonce - HW error.... Sad


Any ideas?

Sounds like you have hardware problems.

Agreed.  I have a 7970 that regularly dies.  Before it does, I get that a bunch of times.

Just tried out 2.11.2 win32 on my new 7850 with -v 1 -k diablo -w 256 args, I'm getting my hashrates floating around EVERYWHERE. Average seems about right but may be lower. Something isn't right..
