Thanks for the tip. But then this happens: The window is larger but cgminer prints to the same area. I want to be able to see all the information that is cut off.

I know this isn't necessarily Bitcoin related but I need help making Wake on LAN work so I can power my miner from afar should it turn off.

Here's what I've already done:

1) Forwarded ports 9 and 7 on my router. Both TCP and UDP.
2) Set Windows to allow the computer to be woken up.
3) Enabled Wake on Lan in my BIOS/UEFI
4) I'm using a wired connection

What am I missing? Every time I send a magic packet, nothing happens.

The motherboard is an Asrock 970 Extreme4, I'm using its onboard NIC which is a Realtek RTL8167 and my router is a Linksys EA2700. The guide I used is here: http://windows7-issues.blogspot.com/2011/03/wake-on-lan-wol-for-windows-7-made-easy.html

Yes. You should be using stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 if you aren't already.

Yes, I think we could all use some hugs. Even from ourselves.

I'm going to be living in another country for a while, but my miner will be sitting in my vacant room AC on full blast and a ceiling fan 24/7. My bitcoin partner will be keeping a virtual eye on things but it's important we get to 99.9% uptime. Oh let me not forget to mention I don't pay for electricity or cooling and my cards are all under 70C.

It happened to me recently, too. I'm trying to sort it out but you can try this: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/catalyst-uninstall-utility.aspx It will remove all traces of the driver and then you can reinstall. You can also try a different kernel.

General PSU statements? You get what you pay for.

Searching is fruitless, I've found. I want to make my cgminer window larger as the number of cards I have cuts off information. I've seen screenshots of larger windows and I'd like that, too.

Not sure about that. For me when a card gets sick all of cgminer crashes resulting in zero mining, but on 13.1 mining continues and the card stays sick (or dead).

NYC and submitting just fine.

Thanks, I've done that now. I'm not going to re-take the picture, however, because I've since given the multimeter back to my friend.

Please, everyone: if you try this be careful! I wore rubber gloves and stood back while the power was reestablished.

Bump so more people can see

10 MB/h? That sounds too high. The stratum protocol was designed to use kilobytes per share. You can try it. You wont lose anything but your Utility will drop because its submitting fewer, more difficult shares. So for every 1 you submit, the pool counts it as 5.

Oh no they don't pay utility either. All power, gas, water, and HVAC is included in rent.

Dunno, his question was a pretty good one. Ah well..

It's easy! (provided you have the supplies)
It's also quick-and-dirty, but it works

All you need are:

An old power cable with the leads stripped
A multimeter
Some alligator clips
Balls of steel (optional)


Disclaimer and warning: This has the potential to be very dangerous as it involves powered, exposed wires. Please be careful and treat any wire like a live one. My table is a bit messy but don't be like me; do this in a clear area. You may also want to try wrapping all exposed contacts with electrical tape for safety and peace of mind. If possible, set up the circuit on an independent circuit breaker/fuse so you can disable the wall power while assembling. If you are unsure of your abilities, do not try this at home. I nor these instructions are to be held liable for personal injury or damage to your multimeter or mining rig. If safety precautions and common sense are followed, this method will provide a quick reading of your unit's power consumption.


1. Attach one alligator clip to one lead of the disembodied power cable
2. Attach clips to your multimeter leads
3. Turn off miner
4. We are testing for the current (Amperes) the unit draws on the mains so the multimeter must be in series in the circuit we're making
5. Clip one multimeter lead on to the exposed cable wire and clip the other on to one of the PSU's prongs
6. Clip the alligator on the other cable on to the other prong
6a. Ensure no unintended contact is made between clips, wires, or leads.
7. Set your multimeter to AC Amps (provided it can measure ≥10 A)
8. Plug in the old power cable and turn on your mining machine
9. Let the gears turn for a bit and read the Amperage. Multiply your Amps by your Volts to get Watts. For me, 4.85 * ~116 ≈ 562.6 W. I like that estimate because it includes some overhead. For a more accurate calculation, multiply the Watts by your PSU's efficiency (90% in my case): 526.6 * .9 = 473.94 W
10. Buy a new card (optional)

On what basis does that happen? Not knowing anything about bitcoind or the minutiae of how the mining software or pools work, why would they not take transactions?


PS who renamed the thread and removed the OP? weird.

$0 because I am a rare exception and do not pay a utility bill ^_^

How do blocks of exactly 25.00000000 BTC and no transactions happen?
