CGMiner 2.7.5 fails to build under mac osx 10.8 with installed macports if I run ./configure with --enable-ztex
because of libusb, even though it is installed:


checking libudev.h usability... no
checking libudev.h presence... no
checking for libudev.h... no
checking for libusb_init in -lusb-1.0... no
configure: error: Could not find usb library - please install libusb


#port list libusb
libusb                         @1.0.9          devel/libusb


It builds fine without --enable-ztex though..

Any thoughts ?

If you use miner.php ... and give it access to the restart button ... then just press restart.
My address is in my sig Cheesy

it sounds so simple...but...they said that about getting a CM1 board stable as well.

I will DL from GITHUB tonight and have a go at getting it running...if all goes well...a fee for service will becoming your way  Smiley
I wrote miner.php (and the API and API-README)
The file API-README includes a lot of details at the end about how to use miner.php
Those 2 files are in every release of cgminer.
Of course the latest 2 on GIT would, however, be best if you don't have the latest cgminer.

Edit: if you have trouble setting it up, come visit FreeNode IRC #cgminer
ckolivas and I are also in Aus (like you) so similar timezone also
(though ckolivas is absent at the moment as he mentioned already)

CGMINER recommendation / request....Not sure were the correct place is so I will just chuck the idea out there.

Is it possible to set a "rescan" function within cgminer? e.g. set the miner rescan ports every 30min in an effort to restart mining hardware that has gone offline..

Typical scenario.
As someone with a day job, I am AFK at least 10 hours per day. I watch my mining rates via my pool and sigh when I note a miner has dropped off (CM1 not GPUs typically). I then call my wife, hoping she is home, so she can reset the mining operations by closing cgminer and firing it up again. BUT, if we had a rescan / restart "OFF" mining hardware, then a lot of heart ache could be avoided.


I am prepared to chuck some coins towards someone whom can do this or point out that function if it already exists.

Think for yourself
I have been getting app crash's the last few days.  I'm pretty sure it is only when I'm running balance that it crash's.  Anyone else have that trouble?

My 5830 is running just fine and then I get the app crash and there are a bunch of hardware errors.  I have run this for weeks at a time before without getting any HW Errors.

CGMiner 2.7.5
Win 7 32 bit

Thanks,
Sam

Hello everyone, I am using ckolivas's cg miner with an nvidia geforce gt520 and I don't believe I am getting the MH/s rates I shouls be getting as I am currently getting 10.4 - 14.3 MH/s which is pretty much the same speeds I get from my laptop cpu (intel t4400). My current command line is:

"cgminer.exe -o http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u c4n10 -p password --gpu-engine 800 --auto-fan --gpu-memclock 800 --gpu-vddc 0.900 --intensity 9"

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Sounds about right. nvidia is garbage

The right direction is to get an AMD GPU if you want to GPU mine.  Nvidia GPU's aren't good for Bitcoin mining.
Sam

Edit: To answer your question a bit better check the mining hardware comparison.  There is one GT520 listed and it gets 8.9Mhs, so you are doing better than others who have tried that GPU.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

That is pretty sad... So my brand new desktop gpu stands no chance of out-performing my 2 year old laptop cpu...?

Doesn't look like it.  Like I said if you want to GPU mine get an AMD/ATI GPU.  If you have a spare PCIe slot you can add one and mine on it while you still use your Nvidia card for gaming and whatever else you do at the same time.

Or look at the top of that Hardware Comparison chart link to see what FPGA options are available.  They will use much less power.

At 10 Mhs it will take a long time to get anywhere.

Okey Dokey Lokey
Has anyone else noticed a higher amount of stale/rejected shares with the newer versions of cgminer?

with 2.7.4 i get Huge 'efficency' but instead of <1% stales im turning in 4-5%!!!

Is this my pool and me not connecting to it fast enough for somereason (like low intensity?) Or is it the Non 2.6.6 version to blame?

Can anybody please tell me what it  is that I have not right here?

On a USB HDD I have a new install Ubuntu 12.04 amd64, a new install of 12.6 drivers (amd-driver-12-6-x86_64.run) installed with the “run” installer. Installed CGMiner-2.7.5 from the “built” version. Extracted in the directory same way as I have been doing for months.
CGMiner runs as usual on BTC (a truly great piece of work) 

However if I try to use “scrypt” for LTC I get these errors. Can somebody please tell me what that means --- in simple terms.

2 errors detected in the compilation of "/tmp/OCLFqZLWF.cl".

What is it I have screwed up?
Thanks

Hi miners (particularly solo)  Smiley

I use 2.7.5 from the beginning, no issue, congratulations Ckolivas!

I mine solo (small 7970 rigs farm), without the block (with 2.7.5).
Till now - elapsed digging time - 860% expected time.

Just I have such bad luck with this version CGminer and graphics card mining?

Probably, pools with many more GH/s than you have had luck that bad from time to time.  There could be network issues or bitcoind issues involved, but probably not cgminer issues since other people mining on pools are having performance as good or better than ever.

Thank you. Allow worked fine. Not sure why groups didn't but it isn't a group so either way. It works!
