Error -6 cl Create Command Queue on winblows
This is usually a bad or corrupted video driver right?
I've had this on a machine in the past, and just did a fresh OS to clean it.
Thanks for your response

For me, whatever changes happened to dynamic in 2.7.6 have made it work poorly again. It is back to being really unresponsive to lowering when I am using the gpu for other things. It will lower one intensity or even stay the same as when I am not using the gpu for something else. I am on Windows 7 with two 5870s. What specifically changed with the algorithm in 2.7.6?
(2.7.5 is running smooth, and responds quickly when other programs use the gpu, and all I have to do on that version is set the intensity to fixed then back to dynamic and I never get the negative intensity bug anymore. 2.7.5 is the first version since 2.1.2 that I can get high performance when not using the gpu for other things and still have really responsive backing off of intensity when I do).

In my pool config the btcguild entry uses this port (see my pool config). It's only the UI, that is not showing the full configuration entries.

You need to add ":9332" after the stratum.btcguild.com This might help, just a guess.

I'm running 2.8.1 now. It seems to me that stratum+tcp pools that fail once are marked as dead and never will become alive again.
When I stop cgminer and start it again, the first stratum pool in my list is alive again. The second stratum pool in the list is always dead.

Having problems with cgminer on a couple windows 7 machines. One that is running Win7 64 Hd7770. Whenever you q to quit the miner it reboots the computer instantly. No messages or anything. On all the other machines they are win 7 64 with HD58xx cards. After a random number of hours the miner keeps saying it is mining but no shares are submitted. I have to exit then restart. These are stratum connections to BTCGuild (no proxy). I did not have these problems on 2.7.6 when pointed to a stratum local proxy. Thanks for any help!
Computer rebooting I can't do anything about. It's clearly the driver crashing spectacularly since I couldn't write code that made computers blow up if I actually wanted to. You could try just closing the window instead of pressing q to quit.Which version had the continuous hashing problem? That was a bug in 2.8.0 which is why I released 2.8.1 so soon after, fixing that precise bug.

I've noticed this thing since I have as my second and third (backup) pools two mtred servers:
One of them is often dead, so I'm used to see that cgminer waits long before contacting next pools.
Yes that's intentional.Code:
1: Enabled Alive Priority 2: http://mtred.com:8337 User:lem98
2: Enabled Dead Priority 3: http://pa.mtred.com:8337 User:lem98
Ah, OK.
I think I will move those two pools to the last positions in my configuration file "pools" section: it should be pretty enough.
October 09, 2012, 05:42:56 AM
Okay, once again I have reuploaded the source tarballs, for 2.8.1 this time.
Thanks a lot. Up and running.
There's just a little thing I've noticed with previous versions too.
I have some pools in my configuration. At cgminer startup, it starts contacting pools.
If it finds a dead pool, it locks for quite a while (minutes) before trying with next pools.
The worst case is when the first pool is dead, beacuse cgminer doesn't mine for minutes.

WTF is going on with the packaging script? This is nuts 
I guess I have to repackage it again.
Seems to happen if I build the windows binaries first... well I would upload them again but my server has decided to belly up again I guess I have to repackage it again.

I've just downloaded 2.8.1 tar.bz2 and configured it.
It doesn't even check for ADL_SDK files, and so it obviously doesn't find monitoring support - despite the three files have been copied to their directory.

With previuos versions:

Can you think of a reason you wouldn't want to use stratum mining?
I can come up with a couple, I'm sure others could as well. Mine was more of a question of choice. Maybe I don't want to automatically promote to stratum?
- if multiple servers return a single IP address for statum server
- if you're working around/through a proxy and you want to not use stratum?
- if you'd like to treat stratum and http as different options from a pool-handling standpoint
btw, if I haven't said it lately, I appreciate VERY much both the product (cgminer) and the author (you).. and your commitment to listening to users like I, asking for changes in a free product!
2. If the proxy does not work, cgminer already detects that it has not worked and falls back to http getwork.
3. I'm hoping everyone just moves to stratum long term
but it sorta kinda makes sense. I can't imagine a pool would want people to mine http getwork if they can help it since it likely reduces the pool load 1000 fold by moving to stratum.
Anyway these are not absolute refusal of the idea, but at this stage I'm not sure I see the benefit. The only current issue, as far as I can see, is that cgminer did not do well to detect something that really was stratum and tried to make it http getwork.
You're most welcome.

cgminer will add http:// if it can't connect to whatever url you gave it. Yes it does look like it shouldn't have done it in this case The stratum+tcp:// is optional and it will always try stratum on that port first. If it did that then perhaps there was something wrong with the url/port put in or the pool was not responsive at the time.
