I really wish the various authors working to improve ccminer/nvminer would get together and put their work into a github repository so that we could move towards a single source tree again.
Yeah, that would be the most efficient way to manage it.   Undecided

OK. I downloaded djm's latest version and dropped it in the miner control folder. Minercontrol launches and seems to run but once again ccminer doesn't launch. Could you please link the thread you're speaking of so I can try and figure out what I hosed?

Thanks
most of everything is in 2 or 3 repositories:
* original by Christian Buchner, then some of us try to add new things to it at a time where he didn't feel continuing developping for ccminer.
Most of everything algo from christian and newer algo can be found in my release ghitub/djm34.
The only algo which isn't part of my release is the one developped by tsiv for cryptonote mining.

So there is mostly 2 rep. So I am not sure about what you are complaining... especially when you never showed up on our thread to ask for anything (this is so true, that I didn't know at all of your minercontrol...
Now if you have special needs to ask to ccminer devs (with a s). better post on ccminer thread rather than complaining here (about how we manage stuff) on your thread which I never read until now.

djm, that's a little brusque.

I haven't been following the ccminer thread too closely the last couple of months but for a while I did see that several people were working independently on ccminer (doing great things) and a couple of people were then trying to merge together the best of each work into a unified product.  A little haphazard but it was still making progress.  That was the source of my musing that a single github repository would be a nice baseline for continuing to improve ccminer being that cbuchner has moved on to other things.  If your branch is now the most complete then hopefully others will submit pull requests to you rather than forking and releasing even more variants.  I'll probably try switching over to it myself soon as the latest version of nvminer I'm using is experiencing occasional crashes that I wasn't seeing before.

As for kalen37, a couple of us here directed him towards the ccminer thread being that the problem he is experiencing appears to be ccminer related and nothing to do with Miner Control.  I had him try launching ccminer from a batch file a few days ago to get Miner Control completely out of the equation and he still had the same problem with it not starting up correctly.  At that point it became apparent he would likely get better help on the ccminer thread.

Miner Control is generic and not dependent on ccminer or any other specific miner program.  It is just a tool to launch whichever miner someone chooses to configure under it.  The releases don't even have a real miner bundled in, just a fake one used to demonstrate how to configure the program.

Good luck with your continuing work on ccminer.
