FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
Q: cgminer segfaults when I change my shell window size.
|
||||
A: Older versions of libncurses have a bug to do with refreshing a window
|
||||
after a size change. Upgrading to a new version of curses will fix it.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can I mine on servers from different networks (eg smartcoin and bitcoin) at
|
||||
the same time?
|
||||
A: No, cgminer keeps a database of the block it's working on to ensure it does
|
||||
not work on stale blocks, and having different blocks from two networks would
|
||||
make it invalidate the work from each other.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can I change the settings individually for each GPU?
|
||||
A: Not currently.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can I put multiple pools in the json config file?
|
||||
A: Not currently, but you can use multiple config files and specify each with
|
||||
successive -c. e.g.: cgminer -c cfg1.json -c cfg2.json
|
||||
|
||||
Q: The build fails with gcc is unable to build a binary.
|
||||
A: Remove the "-march=native" component of your CFLAGS as your version of gcc
|
||||
does not support it.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: The CPU usage is high.
|
||||
A: If you're on linux, the ATI drivers after 11.6 have a bug that makes them
|
||||
consume 100% of one CPU core unnecessarily so downgrade to 11.6. If you're on
|
||||
windows, you may be out of luck because the pthread library used consumes a
|
||||
lot of CPU.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can you implement feature X?
|
||||
A: I can, but time is limited, and people who donate are more likely to get
|
||||
their feature requests implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: My GPU hangs and I have to reboot it to get it going again?
|
||||
A: The more aggressively the mining software uses your GPU, the less overclock
|
||||
you will be able to run. You are more likely to hit your limits with cgminer
|
||||
and you will find you may need to overclock your GPU less aggressively. The
|
||||
software cannot be responsible and make your GPU hang directly.
