Cgminer has always confused me. I know very little about coding. Do you know of any very simple and very basic guides to Cgminer. More detailed then "run your Cgminer with these settings" or "add this to your conf file." I know what a conf file is but I have no idea what to do with it. Thanks.
Very basic guide for CGMiner :
- Install the software.
- Create a .bat file using notepad containing the following :
c:
cd \Program Files (x86)\CGMiner\cgminer-3.2.1-windows
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u YourUsername_YourWorker -p WorkerPassword
Change the directory according to where you installed it.
- Double-click on the .bat file to run CGMiner.
- Profit!
I just installed Cgminer 3.2.1 on my Macbook Pro running VMware with Windows 7. I created the .bat file with the following content:
cgminer -o stratum://mint.bitminter.com3333 -u XXXXXX -p XXXXXX (with my password and user inserted)
When I run the bat file, Cgminer starts for a split second and then disappears, I can see what the problem is because it is only up for a fraction of a second. If I click on the Cgminer.exe file and insert the url, user and password when prompted I get it to run just fine. What am I doing wrong with the bat file?
(My Asicminer block eruptor is hashing away at 326 Mh/s. Used the Zadic utility to change the driver, ans Cgminer detected it right away)
