Has anyone run the CPU Miner for Bitcoin?
I assumes I have to setup something similar in the cc_config file like I did to get the RBoxes to work. As is, the CPU Miner WU's run and report fine; however, every one is invalid. I only want to run this since WUProp attached itself to this and I have 50 hours from when I first started running Bitcoin. It would be nice to get the credits.
Never mind... stupid Norton. :mad:
Blast! That wasn't it either. It just won't give me any credits. :-?? Oh well... just need the hours really.
When I've run it I've had to totally disable Norton. It is very proud of itself for "protecting" you. It blocks every friggin slot, you can't just say this executable is okay. You have to do it for every slot. Then of course there is the Norton firewall etc etc. I just shut the dang thing totally down and tell it to stay that way until I tell it otherwise.Quote:

That's what I finally did on my laptop which has the RBoxes on it. I'll be moving the RBox 100 from my main rig to my server which doesn't have AV on it at all so issues will be solved there as well. Norton also ignores exclusions every so often... I had downloaded the SETI Optimized app to a directory in which I told Norton not only to exclude the file but the entire directory. It still deletes the app no matter what I do.Quote:

I run Malwarebytes on my personal computer, but the crunchers are AV free.
Same here. Have yet to find the need for AV. Malwarebytes is enough.Quote:

I also got the preferences worked out to make sure all CPUMiner wu's in the future go to my 2 rigs that don't have AV or Malwarebytes on them.
I finally got my 100 hours on CPUMiner #3 and #7... and I'm only a few hours away on Climate Prediction from getting another WUProp Star.
I run pc matic pro on my 5 main computers. I got in on a deal with them a few years ago and bought the pro version for 5 computers for 50 bucks for life. I don't run any on the rest of the crunchers. run spy bot a couple of times a year.
Has anyone else had recent issues with CGMiner.exe?
My RBoxes running the 20+GH/s ASICs stop every so often with the message from Windows saying that cgminer.exe has stopped working. It has been happening so frequently that I wrote a script to automatically close out the message window so it would start running again. I've been having this issue for tha past couple of weeks and I just started having the same issue with my RBox 100 running the 1.6+GH/s ASICs.
I have Windows update turned off so nothing has installed.
Had it happen to me today on my XP system. Restarted computer and everything was fine
I should probably restart my systems every so often just to clear things out.Quote:
