This is the official thread for support and development of cgminer, the ASIC bitcoin miner written in c, cross platform for windows, linux, OSX and other, with monitoring, fanspeed control and remote interface capabilities, completely overhauled based on the original code cpuminer. There is NO SUPPORT for CPU, GPU or altcoin mining in this thread, nor older versions with that functionality, nor any support for unofficial forks of this code.
Note that as maintainer of cgminer am AGAINST Segwit2x and Emergent Consensus.
This code is provided entirely free of charge by the programmer in his spare
time so donations would be greatly appreciated.
Help can also be obtained on IRC: irc.freenode.net #cgminer

Features:
- Very low overhead free c code for Linux and windows with very low non-mining CPU and ram usage
- Stratum and GBT pooled mining protocol support, including ultra low overhead solo mining
- Scaleable networking scheduler designed to scale to any size hashrate without networking delays yet minimise connection overhead
- long poll support - will use longpoll from any pool if primary pool does not support it
- Self detection of new blocks with a mini-database for slow/failing longpoll scenarios, maximum work efficiency and minimum rejects.
- Heavily threaded code hands out work retrieval and work submission to separate threads to not hinder devices working
- Caching of submissions during transient network outages
- Preemptive fetching of work prior to completion of current work
- Local generation of valid work (via stratum, GBT or ntime rollover) whenever possible, as supported on a per-work item basis
- Prevention of stale work submission on new block
- Summarised and discrete device data statistics of requests, accepts, rejects, hw errors and work utility
- Summary displayed when quitting
- Supports multiple pools with multiple intelligent failover mechanisms
- Temporary disabling of misbehaving pools rejecting all shares
- On the fly menu based management of most settings
- Trickling of extra work to backup pools if primary pool is responding but slow
- RPC +/- JSON interface for remote control
- Bitforce support - singles and minirig
- Icarus support
- Modminer support
- Ability to cope with slow routers
- Submit-old support
- X-Reject-Reason support
- Variable difficulty support
- Share difficulty reporting
- Target and block difficulty displays
- Block solve detection
- ASIC Avalon support
- Bitburner support
- Redfury/Bluefury USB stick support
- Bi*fury USB support
- Hexfury USB support

- Multicast support
- Proxy support
- Lots of other stuff I can't remember. See options.
