NOTE *** If u hashing at 330MH then it all sounds good and there is a saying don’t change something if it not broken!! so keep a copy of your exact setup before playing round with these different techniques to run cgminer. I need to have a look round and see if there any other better parameters to run the USB devices on and I had some errors when doing this with cgminer 3.0.2 but that was a little while ago now so i’ll see what I can find and i’ll share it here. Now you can run the command as i suggested in previous postĬgminer.exe -icarus-options 115200:1:1 -icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COM7Īlso if you are fed up of typing in the URL each time you know the nf file? have a look at the “nf” file… copy it and rename it to nf and put in the URL’s and passwords etc … this allows you to setup backup pools as well should the main pool u mining on goes down… trust me they do!! and it also allows you to tweak settings for your GPU etc if u mining on that as well… Now go back to the command prompt and typeĬd C:CryptoCurrencies/Mining/CGminer3.0.1Īnd hit enter… this should take you to the directory with cgminer.exe in it on the command prompt…

Now open a windows explorer and navigate to you folder with the version of cgminer you want to run and copy the file location… something like C:CryptoCurrencies/Mining/CGminer3.0.1 The second way which allows you to run commands against the executable as i suggested in the post above, in order to do this u need to do the following:Ĭlick the “start” icon > Type “CMD” into the search text area > you have just opened a command prompt… The first which u are doing (and I used to) by double clicking the cgminer.exe executable and either inputting the URL and username etc or setting a nf and holding all the info in there. In order to run cgminer you can do it one of two ways…

Yeah mine is directly into the back of my PC … I believe the issue was due to the wrong power adaptors being supplied with the powered USB hubs… some 1000mA cheap leads from china and the hub drawing too much and then spiking and frying the USB devices in there… so if u just direct into your pc u should be fine as not heard any bad reports of that. Let me know if I need to change anything.

IT just ask for the server then name and password.

I never figured out how to put in all that code. The pool just picked up that it is mining but hasn’t from a block yet (only been a few minutes)

(Is that Safe?) I just started mining PPC. Bear, I am plugged straight in to the back of my PC. Info i used to get mining on the device was here

Hope this helps and shout if you need further info/assistance…Īlso just be careful with ur miner… take note what USB hub u using as there are reports i seen from people where the hub has fried all their USB miners and the miner can no longer use them… post about it here Though u will need to see what device COM # ur USB is on ur computer… mine was 7 but yours may be different.
