I have been running on 2.7.6 "forever" and just upgraded to 2.10.4.  I got this error last night:

It ran for (nearly) exactly 24 hours before crashing.  Con - anything you would like me to do?  Run a debug version?  (etc.)  This machine is on Windows 7 64-bit.

I also noticed it is using variable difficulty shares.  There's no point in that for this GPU (an old nVidia card), is there?  Are there any options I should add to my command line?  I'm currently using only -o -u & -p.

(Yes this is a worthless machine for mining.  No need to point this out.  I'm still running it for weeks/months until the difficulty shoots up due to ASICs.)

Hello.
Anyone who knows and knows how to use the command cgminer --gpu-map?
I got a problem:

OpenCl number corresponds to the number of devices is not ADL and the decision - is to use this command.
In the map units, the last card is marked as
....
6. 09:00
7. 0a: 00
8. 0b: 00

I do not understand how to use it and how to write config. Help, who can ....

Help me, please.  Huh
What does "cgminer.exe -n" say? If you look through the Readme, it should give some sample outputs of what you should be looking at, and common scenarios of how to fix them.

Upgraded, but had to turn stratum off on p2pool as my DOA/Stale rate went through the roof, even after lowering my intensity on both Linux & windoze rigs. Anyone else had this problem?

Same problem here.

Thought I'd give you all a heads up warning.

I'll be away overseas, enjoying Japan from the 5th to the 23rd of January.... While this is the time frame that perhaps one of the first ASICs comes into existence, the fact is that I really couldn't care less while travelling. Thus I wish to inform you that my right hand man, Kano(i), will be the only person around who will be producing officially sanctioned cgminer code while I'm away. So if and when the hardware does appear, and you wish to use cgminer to mine on that hardware, please use source and/or binaries provided by him.
enjoy ur holiday Wink

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I looked through the readme but didnt see anything. I also have not kept up on this thread or Stratum in general.

How do you disable stratum on cgminer? I was running my rigs on Coinlab and decided to upgrade BAMT to the (at the time) latest cgminer and have not been able to mine there since. I can however mine on any pool that supports Stratum but would like to go back to Coinlab.
There is nothing about stratum support that precludes mining on regular getwork pools. If they support both getwork and stratum and they specify the stratum header, cgminer will automatically switch to stratum, unless you add the "--fix-protocol" option. But if the pool does not support stratum, like coinlab, it will just use getwork.

I first assumed this which is why I upgraded. However after upgrading it would not mine on coinlab and will not on Ozcoin either unless it is on the Stratum pool. Maybe its something with the way BAMT talks to cgminer?
Pool issues. I know ozcoin has had issues with its getwork pools lately, but I have no idea about coinlab.
Possible I guess, however I have 2 different rigs both running BAMT. One I never upgraded cgminer and it is still mining on coinlab with zero issues, the other is having issues.

Is anyone else having difficulties with the reliability of using a raspberry pi with cgminer (and bfgminer) to manage fpga miners (in my case bitforce and icarus). I've found that cgminer 2.10.4 gives out comm errors on bitforce miners (at random). Bfgminer has problems as well outlined in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1426976

The main point here is that I believe there is either some bug with cgminer (kinda doubt this) or some major problem with the raspberry itself (possibly USB driver issue? etc) or the wheezy debian distro. I'm using the distro put together by the OP on the thread I pasted above.

I'm sure someone else is also using a pi to manage their fpga miners, so I ask has anyone managed to get it to run reliably without any errors, restarts, etc.?

I've updated the firmware via rpi-update and updated the distro with apt-get update & apt-get upgrade & apt-get dist-upgrade. Problem with 2.10.4 of cgminer still persists.
The usb on rpi is known to be really flaky. The addition of a powered usb hub usually fixes most problems as it acts as a usb filter as well as running more usb devices better.

Well that's the thing. I am of course using a powered usb hub, and it gave me no troubles when connected to a windows box.

One thing that I noticed is that the pi powered itself up when I plugged in the usb hub to it so it's drawing from the usb hub (as it should/can) but I still have the power brick plugged in on the pi as well. Should I shutdown the pi and power it up with it's own power brick first and THEN connect the USB hub? Does this order make any difference? I have doubts whether it will resolve the flaky usb issues but it's worth a try, no?
