Anyone could help me ?

I Try to do working my antminer U3 on Cgminer on minepeon, i have updated 4.0.1 version included by a 4.9.1 version following a tutorial on internet. But cgminer don't start...

I go on SSH on opt/minepeon/bin/ and i launch cgminer with some arguments like -copt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf but nothing append.


Anybody could help me ?

Thanks.

Thanks for what you've done for the community. We're not worthy!

My first piece of mining gear arrirved yesterday, an antminer U3.  I Installed and configured it correctly w/driver and zadig.  Downloaded latest cgminer (4.9.1), ran cgminer with the following: cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u MYADDRESS.0 -p xx3

And I receive:
No Devices Detected!

Any suggestions?  Thank you.


And a separate issue with command line options (may be related to No Devices Attached?), I tried inserting a few of the U3 specific options at the command line, -au3-volt -au3-freq, but each returns the error:
cgminer.exe: -au3-volt: unrecognized option

If I try to insert any command line option that starts with '-s', -suggest-diff for example, I get this error:
cgminer.exe: -s: 'uggest-diff' is not a number

Please help this noob if you can, I'm anxious to get this going!  Thanks again in advance.

Tried a different cable and no dice.  The little red light inside the U3 comes on when I plug in either cable, and my comp sees when I plug it in, so I think the cable is not an issue.  My computer is old, it doesn't have usb3, so no issue there.  Anything else I could try, besides contacting the seller for a replacement?

When I add the extra hyphen to --au3-volt --au3-freq --suggest-diff those options get accepted at the command line, thank you.  How would I set the baud rate and timeout for the U3, I do not see that option.  I see "--bitmain-options   Set bitmain options baud:miners:asic:timeout:freq", but not sure if that is the correct option, or what value I would use for miners, asic, or freq (since freq appears to be set by --au3-freq).

Additionally, when it says "press q to quit", pressing q doesn't do anything.

Thank you.

Commencing dance, will report later on outcome.  I've contacted the reseller as well.  Thank you so much for your help.

And yes, I am quite familiar with baud ratings.  Only asked because it's a suggested setting in the U3 user guide.  My first modem was a 300/1200 baud.  When I got my 9600/14.4k with compression I couldn't believe how fast it was; hurray for the good ol' BBS days.

./cgminer.exe -n

will tell you if you have zadig setup correctly since it will show you the device if it is setup correctly

new here.

I just got an U3 a few days ago, and what I have found is trying to run 4.9.1 it will not find any of the miners. U2 or U3.
but drop back to 4.9.0 and it finds all the U2s and U3. and only once in a while when starting up does it think one of the U2s is a U3.
also having it run with the 4.9.0 and then trying to upgrade to 4.9.1 it "kills the drivers" to put it one way. have to install the drivers again then unplug and plug or power off the hubs to get them back.

so to the person that is having problems try 4.9.0 and see if it works.
because as of right now I can't run 4.9.1 on windows 7 64bit....

OK, so zidag is setup correctly, just the U3 detection is failing.
So one of: cable/USB problems, U3 problem, windows cgminer detection problem.
For want of a better suggestion, maybe try linux?
(ubuntu 14.04 would be my suggestion since it's simple to setup/add to a desktop if you have a spare disk/spare disk space)
