Topic: usb asic miners, question about them and cgminer (Read 983 times)
I think the usb miners flash every difficulty one share, cgminer may only submit shares at a higher difficulty depending on the pool setting. When you first start cgminer it will show "Pool 1 Difficulty changed to 4" or something similar. As long as cgminer shows you are getting shares, nothing to worry about
I've never used anything other than cg or bfgminer besides back in the day when I first started out and I used guiminer for a bit. My suggestion, post this question in the official cgminer thread and see what they have to say.

I have over 100 miners running so it was pretty hard to regulate this but I recently gave 10 to a friend and I realized something. When you use them with bitminter, as soon as the light lights up on the miner indicating a share has been found, bitminter stats show that share has been found and the stats changed. But when mining bitcoin with cgminer, cgminer doesnt show that share has been found even with the stats being updated every 5s... anyone else seeing this? And if so does anyone know how to fix this? Ive been using bitminter but recently switched to cg to miner alt coins and I even see that issue.
