Is it possible to update cgminer to the latest version on BAMT? Im a total linux noob as well as new to bitcoins. So far I have used the guiminer in windows and then switched to BAMT where I use the gui to set everything up. My command line experience is minimal, however Im eager to learn.
I want to use cgminer 1. just to try a different miner 2. to experiment/learn 3. to use the autofan feature to automatically adjust the fan speeds up and down as needed.
I have no idea how to even setup/use the cgminer thats included with BAMT so maybe thats a first step? But I figured the latest version might be more stable/faster/more features?
Where do I start?
you may wish to hold off, some changes in the upcoming version will make things easier.
as for using the latest version, I don't know if it's a good idea. We use the version we use because there were stability issues with newer versions. I have heard that version 2.5.0 is good, but not sure on versions after that. Also don't know if there are any performance improvements or what features might be present in versions newer than the one we use. Someone else might be able to comment on that.
in any case, get the included version working before working with something else, since you are at least working with a well tested and known stable version then.
