kimocoin: I'm still looking into this. I have it narrowed down to a small area of code... I just don't understand what exactly is happening. It's as if CGWatcher just freezes right along with cgminer.


techman05: I appreciate the donation mining. I'm not ruling out adding this functionality in the future... but I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to get to it. I don't have any drillbit devices so I'd be flying blind... but I'll look into getting one in order to work on this.


D.Khaled:  I'm not sure what you mean. You can run multiple instances of CGWatcher on the same computer if you need to run mutliple miner instances (you can find how to set this up here). If you want to control multiple computers from one program, you would use CGRemote.


Shenrox:  In the Monitor tab you can already set it to restart the miner or computer if the hashrate falls below a certain threshold. There isn't an option yet for restarting if it exceeds a threshold.


gsrcrxsi:  I haven't had a chance to look at sgminer to see if any changes were made that would break CGWatcher's support for it. Being a fork of cgminer, I assume that the existing API and settings would remain intact at least in the short-term, but it looks like there may have already been changes made that require CGWatcher to be updated. My guess is CGWatcher is using a config setting that sgminer no longer supports. The support it has right now was only regarding the name - so mostly cosmetic. As soon as I get a chance I'm going to switch my desktop over to it. On a related note, we've released compiled SGMiner Windows binaries available at: http://coinmyne.proboards.com/thread/24/sgminer-compiled-version-download. Scott (from CoinMyne) compiled it, so I haven't personally used it yet... but this will make it much easier for me to switch over to it.

Thomza:  You can separate IP addresses in the api-allow using a comma. Precede any IP address with W: to give it full API access. For example:

"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.10,W:192.168.1.11"

or

"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1/24"


Ntrain2k:  So it works if you start mining at intensity 19, but if you start it at 14 and set it to increase to 19 during idle it locks up? If I'm understanding you correctly, it's difficult to say... CGWatcher is simply sending a command to cgminer telling it to change the intensity. It sounds like more of a cgminer issue, but since cgminer no longer supports GPUs I'd suggest looking at sgminer, which is a cgminer fork focusing on GPU mining. As I mentioned above, you can download Windows binaries here: http://coinmyne.proboards.com/thread/24/sgminer-compiled-version-download


Edit:
techman05:
With CGRemote you can monitor miners on the same local network or over the Internet. The web and mobile apps are not finished, so you won't see them on the Play Store yet. I want to release the desktop application first, then devote all of my time to the web and mobile apps.
