OLD: BFGMiner 4.10.0: GBT+Stratum, RPC, Mac/Linux/Win64, Spondoolies SP30

[nwoolls]

i wanna request if possible to include my miner on support list...


my miner is Scrypt Dragon LTC miner 32m

the website is :http://www.lketc.com/goods/show-641.aspx

please advice me possible ro tun my machine using this  BFGMiner

Dragon Scrypt miner 32m

You'll have to talk to nwoolls, and probably give him one to develop/test with - also likely need specifications from the manufacturer.

Given a test unit and documentation I'd be happy to. Those two are most important and usually the only thing available is a hastily assembled CGMiner fork (if that).

sorry ., i can't do that..  Im just a small miner at home im not a supplier like that..
is any other way to make it work ?

thank you

hi, is there possible to mine with old fpga, like altera cyclone II, if can, how, thanks,

Most forms of fpga miner that I'm aware of typically are aimed at spartan6 or altera IV

Will this release work with the RockMiner R-Box New 100-110 Gh/s miner?

No, still waiting for more details from them on the changes.

Ok,Thank you..

[nwoolls]

Will this release work with the RockMiner R-Box New 100-110 Gh/s miner?

No, still waiting for more details from them on the changes.

It works, but at ~75 Gh/s rather than 100 Gh/s.

I get 82+ at 310 frequency.

Not tried higher because I have them running with a bunch of the smaller r-boxes and they don't like going higher.

Luke,

       Would it help if someone sent you one?

Did you try to clock it at 375 instead of 350? I need to do that with cgminer to get 110 Gh/s or close to it..

Since BFG uses the FTDI driver for usb devices, is there any change contemplated due to the FTDI bricking incident in windows update?  I see they have taken it out now, but still plan to implement something to stop non-FTDI chips from working.

I'm having issues adding the GPU mining when running scrypt. I use the --scrypt argument, and the -S opencl:auto argument, and it runs, but only at around 16 khs, I think it's CPU mining? I have a radeon 270x with the most recent AMD SDK installed, but it's still not working.   I know I'm doing something wrong, but what?

BFGMiner 4.8 through 4.10 have a vulnerability that can be exploited to crash it.
You are vulnerable if you mine on any pool that uses generation payouts.
As far as I know, this includes only Eligius and p2pool.
Eligius is being patched to workaround this issue for now.
p2pool cannot be patched to workaround it.
If you are using p2pool or another generating pool, add "#skipcbcheck" on the end of your pool URI.
For example: bfgminer -o "stratum+tcp://localhost:9332/#skipcbcheck"

I will be releasing BFGMiner 4.10.1 shortly with a fix for this vulnerability.
Doing so implies publicly disclosing the nature of the vulnerability, making it easy for others to exploit, so I will wait a few days before doing so, in order to give everyone using p2pool an opportunity to enable the skipcbcheck workaround.

Hello, thanks a lot for the awesome miner tool!
I've been using it since some time, yesterday I set up an Ubuntu machine, when using apt-get install everything works but when I launch it I see version 3.10, not 4.10. Was it downgraded temporarily for the vulnerability? Graphic glitch? Or is it best to download the source and compile for the latest version? Thanks again

Ubuntu tends to let packages go stale in general; I'd suggest a "me too" on https://bugs.launchpad.net/trusty-backports/+bug/1339411 and maybe offer to be the tester they need.

FWIW, it turns out this is only a problem with debug enabled.
If you don't use --debug or --debuglog, you are unaffected.

ok, done. I am no ubuntu power user but I will get it a way or the other:)

Why not just clone the GIT repository and build it yourself?  I just did that last night on my Debian machine...works great!
