Why are there different executables?

Have a look at this line that shows up when you start the miner:

compilation_units

It shows, what processor types can be used in your config file.

-<option>: feature is not present
+<option>: feature is present
executable description
creepMiner(.exe) compiled with +CUDA +OPENCL +SSE4 +AVX +AVX2
creepMiner-cpu(.exe) compiled with -CUDA -OPENCL +SSE4 +AVX +AVX2

So basically the non-cpu version is also compiled with support for GPUs.

Mining

Pool or Wallet timeouts

If you using IPv6 disabling it systemwide helps. This is not a miner issue.

I have multiple miners pointing to the same pool. It shows the wrong capacity, what can I do?

Use a multi miner setup by simply pointing all miners miner nodes to one forwarding miner master miner

A plotreader just crashed while reading!

When something bad happens during the reading process, the plotreader are able to fetch the error and recover. However, they will stop to read the current drive and continue with the next one.

bad allocation

The OS could not allocate enough memory for the process. Change this section in the configuration file to limit the maximum amount of memory:

"mining" : {
    "maxBufferSizeMB" : 0
}

Webserver

What does 'You are running the webserver without protecting it with an username and/or password!' mean?

creepMiner has an integrated webserver that you can use to manage your miner. To setup the webserver, see the section webserver in the config file. The warning you get is because you have not entered an username and/or a password, which can be a security risk:

"webserver" : {
    "credentials" : {
        "pass" : "",
        "user" : ""
    }
}

My webinterface is showing a page, but no data

In the config file, look for the following option:

"webserver" : {
    "url" : "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
}

Change 8080 to a port that is free on your computer (you can leave it unchanged if you are not sure).

If you want to use the webinterface only on the same computer that is running the creepMiner instance, you can simply use 127.0.0.1.

If you want to use the webinterface also from other computers, use the public IP of the computer. For example: if you want to use it from the same network, enter the local IP.
