![]() ![]() It’s also open-source and written in C, making it easy for anyone to verify the software’s code. The software also offers advanced detection of new blocks and makes it easy to scale up hashing power without delays.Īlthough it’s Linux-based, CGMiner is cross-platform compatible and can run on Mac and Windows computers. It’s widely regarded as one of the best bitcoin mining software available due to its open-source nature, simple interface with direct controls, and cross-platform and cross-hardware compatibility.ĬGMiner uses a command-line interface that allows users to mine their rigs remotely and control fan speeds and other settings with simple keyboard commands. Three built-in LEDs illustrate the selected core voltage as follows:įor enhanced support please visit the public support forum on or write us an e-mail.CGMiner was developed in 2011 by Australian anesthetist and programmer Con Kolivas for mining cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. Each time the black button is pressed, the core voltage can be increased by 10 mV. ![]() The miner is delivered with a core voltage preset of 390 mV. The core voltage of the Terminus R606 can be easily adjusted with a built-in circuit in eight steps from 390 mV to 460 mV. In addition to the clock rate adaptation, the core voltage can or must be modified so that the ASICs are optimally supplied with voltage at an increased clock rate. The higher the hashrate, the bigger is the deviation from this average, caused by ASIC manufacturing tolerances.The performance of the miner varies depending on the clock frequency used and core voltage and can be approximately calculated using the following formula: Regardless of whether you use the script or call cgminer.exe directly: The mining software should be run with Windows 7 or higher with administrator rights. Replace the pool data with your own and save the script. Frequencies between 2 MHz have been approved for the R606.Īlternatively, the supplied test_mining.bat script can be adapted using a text editor. The clock rate can be changed by modifying the parameter gekko-r606-freq. The example above shows a Solo-Mining configuration in Con Kolivas’ Solo Mining pool. Please contact your pool operator or check the pool setup guide for more details. The Pool configuration which is used in the example above should be replaced by your own pool configuration data. The following command will start up the CGMiner Software (example): cgminer.exe -o stratum tcp://:3333 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -p x -suggest-diff 32 -gekko-r606-freq 600 With Windows PowerShell you can check if the right driver has been installed: PS C:\> gwmi Win32_USBControllerDevice |% | sort Manufacturer,Description,DeviceID | ft -groupby Manufacturer Description,Service,DeviceId -auto Setup The following CMD command can be used to test if the Miner was correctly identified by the CGMiner Mining software: cgminer.exe -n Please note: After installation of Zadig USB driver tools, activate the List All Devices” option in “Options” menu if the Miner does not show up: In case of problems with the device detection, please try the Zadig WinUSB (libusb) driver: For Windows 7 and Windows 10 operating systems we recommend the use of Zadig USB driver
