Just coz I want to see a real block chain one .... not scam chain ones or test ones like I used to test it

Anyone found a real bitcoin block with cgminer >= 2.0.4 yet?
and the matching "Accepted 00000000... BLOCK!" to go with it?
Just curious ...

It does not compile at the same machine that cgminer-2.0.4 and have this "[2011-09-30 10:02:31] Accepted 00000000.c5ff79a3.fd4f7277 GPU 0 thread 0" block...

To solve a block the second group of numbers should be 0 most of them.

I'm curious too... cgminer-2.0.5 seems to be a little buggy.

Ubuntu 11.04 32 bits.

CGMiner 2.0.4 compiles just fine.

What can I do?!

Thanks!

i supose one option is to have a timer on the (press enter to exit) and then it just retries.

Now that makes sense!

i do that once in a while.... not often though.

I supose i should update some of my miners. still running 1.5.1 on some of them.

I'm curretnly waiting about 40 seconds. (batch script) before it runs the miner.

You pretty much have two options:

Loop until you get a successful ping to a host that is usually online (say, google) and only start cgminer after that.
Start cgminer in an endless loop. That way you'd also have cgminer restart in case it crashes. However, you'd lose any output that may help you find the problem.

have a small problem.
had a power failure last night and when the miners restarted i got the following message

Code:

[2011-09-29 11:48:07] No servers were found that could be used to get work from.
[2011-09-29 11:48:07] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input
[2011-09-29 11:48:07] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not set up workers
[2011-09-29 11:48:07] Pool: 0  URL: http://btcguild.com:8332  User: ******  Password: ******
Press enter to exit:

I expect it was just a network hiccup,
is there anyway i can easily prevent this from happening...
with winter storms around the corner i expect a few power failures occurring and would like the miners to start up smoothly

note: running on Windows7 64 bit

Presumably this is because your network is not connected by the time your mining has started. If you are scripting some kind of auto-startup, you need to make sure the mining happens late enough that the network is up. Perhaps a simple wait or sleep in your windows .bat file would be enough (not sure of the syntax in windows) so that it waits for a minute before starting. The error is there for a reason as 99% of the failures people were reporting were they had entered the wrong details. I guess I can add an override as (yet) another command line.

Could you please elaborate on why you would go through the repeated hassle of creating a patched version of cgminer when the option itself doesn't in any way impair the functionality of the program? The message just pops-up once and doesn't even popup when you log via syslog.

It's just a personal preference. I get to change something I don't like, and get more familiar with cgminer. It's on the list.. also working on a gox bot and ncurses front end for bitcoind, but it shouldn't take much time to do this one.

Love ckolivas, love the work, love cgminer. Open source is about the freedom to make things how you want. Not instigating, not trolling, don't want attention. Just mentioned that in case anyone else is going to be looking for a modified version.. will make different future post with the github link or patch.

Please donate to ckolivas, and attach a note saying you prefer to have your software mine, and to do the donations in your bitcoin client,

Does that message annoy you so much so you're willing to go through setting up a forked project for that?

I'm not dissin' you in any way, I'm just a bit confused as to why it would be such an issue for anyone.

Thanks!

I'm definately going to use the donation feature. All who disagree are free to maintain patches and all they want. They would be better of forking the project, adding useful features and requesting pulls from ckolivas though.

This "i plan on" message was totally uncalled for, really... cgminer is a project with a very dynamic release cycle, just look at the commit history, the author is really putting quite a bit of effort into it and the donation option really makes it very easy to donate on a regular basis.

Thumbs up, ckolivas! Keep up the good work!

Enable 0.5% donation by default.

I plan on maintaining a patch to remove all of the donation code from the project starting in the near future. I think people who want to donate (such as myself) are capable of choosing to on their own through the normal channels.

You are free to do as you please. The donation 0.5% by default patch was testing the waters and proved within a heart's beat how popular the idea would be. There is no default donation in the code, but I am not removing the --donation option.

Thanks very much to the handful of people who are actually using the donation feature by the way! Even a tiny bit is appreciated

Good job guys on adding the cgminer ebuilds to the bitcoin overlay, but I'd like to request if it's possible to add a 9999 (git) version to the overlay. I've also written an alternative ebuild for cgminer which fetches adl-sdk without any additional ebuilds.

The ebuild is here if anyone needs it. It also has a sample config file installed in /etc/cgminer, a conf.d configuration file and an init.d script. It also has an ugly xorg startup script which just fires up bare xorg without any display managers.

Don't forget to not use any pools that have a % donation option ...

I think that leaves only Eligius, though when I get around to rewriting the codebase, I do plan to offer it as an option...
