wtf I can use CGMiner now?!

I am going to donate now kvclivas or whatever it is
not ckolivas, some one forked it for gridseed, as ckolivas said he wont work on any other except sha256 after 3.7.2


I am getting HW errors running 6 gridseed miners in cgminer.
Anyone getting HW errors?

At 800MHz clock I get maybe 2 errors in 24 hours. Higher clock rates produce more errors and although cgminer reports higher hashing speeds the speed seen by the pool goes down. I think 850 might be the optimum but I need more testing.

Both cgminer and cpuminer will report errors if they lose connection to the pool, e.g. if the network cable is unplugged. I noticed that while doing some rewiring around the house. So at least some of the "hardware errors" might not be related to actual hardware.

cgminer, after I twice unplugged the network switch shows two hardware errors for each miner:


cpuminer, after the same, shows a bunch of invalid nonces upon resuming:


If I had to guess, I would say that the miners are returning work for a previous hash.
