Username  is usually in the form
username.workername

You probably forgot the worker name.
Also the username and password are of course the worker user name and password.
Not the account username and password
Of course JackRabiit if you have ever mined before you will know that Smiley

On the topic of my fluctuating hash rate, downgrading to 11.6+2.4 didn't help - again dropped to 60 Mhash from 80. I'll just stop trying.

I need help.
alright so i get as far as
it telling me that i cannot connect to the pool....

I havent the Slightest idea how to configure ANYTHING for this miner.

Could someone.. Like.. Hand me a command line that i can add onto cgminer.exe

I want to run Two 6870's deticated.. I just have no idea the syntax or format, I've read the readme and the example.conf, And im just an example.confused user!
As per the README file as it says:
 cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu
where username and password are of course your worker username and password at the pool
and http://pool:port are whatever the pools is
 e.g. http://pool.abcpool.co:8332

If you want to actually use the computer at the same time, then use a much lower number for -I (e.g. -I 5) or leave it out altogether (no -I 9)

Yeah... Thankyou for helping, So far your help has brought me to this:

[2011-12-30 23:48:32] Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid
[2011-12-30 23:48:32] Unable to get work from pool 0 http://pit.deepbit.net:8332

[2011-12-30 23:48:32] No servers were found that could be used to get work from.

[2011-12-30 23:48:32] Please check the details from the list below of the server
s you have input
[2011-12-30 23:48:32] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add
 a port, or have not set up workers
[2011-12-30 23:48:32] Pool: 0  URL: http://pit.deepbit.net:8332  User: *****@
****  Password: ********
[2011-12-30 23:48:32] Press any key to exit, or cgminer will try again in 15s.

Any insight as to whats going wrong? Ports are good... Tried Many different Deepbit addrs, Aswell as btcguild's servers, All give same message..

Intensity should be "-I 9,9", because otherwise the second would be on dynamic. Or at least as I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong).

And the --auto-fan and --auto-gpu are completely optional. I'd say keep those out and overclock manually (but that's just my opinion).
Nope if you specify -I 9 on it's own it covers all cards. (well it does on my dual 6950 Smiley

How do you know which GPU cgminer is referring to in terms of which pci slot it is in?

is GPU 0 typically in slot 1 and then goes on from there?
Whatever order the driver returns... most motherboards it should go in order of ascending slot numbers.

Heh, cgminer, the miner from the future.

For those using the donation option, note that your hashes are now directed back to ozcoin who have finally completed their long overdue migration to DGM payout.

Good as I was seeing a lot of rejects on the donation shares when you had it pointed at ARS and 24+ hours without any problems on the latest I installed yesterday so looks like you tracked it down whatever it was with that last release, I have yet to see a repeat of the behaviour.

Edit: Just to be sure on this I have to re-compile from git to get the new pool enabled for you right?
No, just restart, thanks!

Wow, I missed a release - 2.0.8 was running for... a while; at least 10 days solid. I can't imagine how cgminer could be improved upon much further, so I was glad to see the latest update from the future!

"Version 2.1.0 - December 27, 2012Grin

So far so good (still Ubuntu 11.04 with Cat/SDK 11.6/2.4 on 6950s). Latest git build and none of the problems anyone else has been having.

The problem was solved for each machine by restarting cgminer.

I dont see anything common between the machines that could explain this.

Anyone have a clue? Pretty please?
When it happens again, go into the display menu and enable Verbose mode, Rpc debugging and Debug mode and see what is output.

Ive posted this a few times, but never got any response.
It happened again. On both my rigs:



Left one is running on linuxcoin, right one is local on windows.

Hashrate basically drops to zero as cgminer keeps switching pools and not being able to connect to either.

My network and internet connection is fine. Ive (again) tried restarting the routers, just in case but it changed nothing. Both miners where still in limbo after that
My public IP address has not changed.
The problem is not the pools, both were up.

Did the graphics drivers update? There have been lots of reports of the recent drivers dropping hash rates. A reboot would cause newly installed drivers to load.

Nope, I'm already at 11.12 (didn't see a performance drop that everyone else reports - interesting).

On that note, what are the suggested drivers for mining in Windows? 11.6?

My guess is that you installed 11.12 but maybe didn't reboot thus older drivers were still loaded.  You reboot.  11.12 and its lower performance loads and bingo.  Or maybe the driver had nothing to do with it and the sdk was updated after reboot (2.4 or 2.5 to 2.6).

God I wish AMD could write some halfway decent drivers.  It is a complete lottery on each driver update.

11.6 with sdk 2.4  remains the best for both windows and linux for mining, if not for gaming.

Installed 11.6 and SDK 2.4, hash back up to ~82, which is OK. We'll see how that goes in the future. Thanks Smiley
