Title: How do you run BFGminer as a blade proxy?? Post by: Yinero on September 23, 2013, 10:08:42 AM So with how faulty the stratum proxy has become over at Slush's pool I've been looking for a new one. Everything points at BFGminer how ever I can't find any documentation to run it as a stratum proxy for my BE Blade. I've tried the web proxy and for some reason my blades only run at 50% efficiency when doing so. When the original stratum proxy was working just fine my miners were going at 110%. Any help is appreciated, as I've done a lot of searching and can't find an answer...
Title: Re: How do you run BFGminer as a blade proxy?? Post by: frankenmint on September 23, 2013, 10:10:53 AM correct me if I'm wrong but I thought stratum was already built in, you simply need to set your options as -S All on the command line arguments and you're all set.

I honestly don't know. All that I do know is that BFGminer recently started to get Blades to work on it. I can't find any documentation on getting it running since the blade isn't connected to my PC and it is it's own device and all. Title: Re: How do you run BFGminer as a blade proxy?? Post by: HellDiverUK on September 23, 2013, 10:30:28 AM You need to read README.ASIC. Info is there. :)
Basically you need to add --http-port 8330 to the end of your command line, then point your Blade to the IP of the machine running BFG. Each Blade needs to have a unique username (it doesn't matter what, anything will do as long as it's unique). Note this option is only available on Win32 version, and under Linux. OpenWRT and Win64 don't have it. Here's the section in README.ASIC if you couldn't be bothered reading it yourself: Code: BLOCK ERUPTER BLADE Title: Re: How do you run BFGminer as a blade proxy??

Well, I copied that straight out of the README.ASIC - it's not my fault you can't download some files properly. You asked for help, I told you how to get it working. If you'd spent 5 minutes reading the BFGMiner thread, you'd see why it's only Win32 and Linux, but apparently you prefer posting a new thread then complaining bitterly when the solution doesn't suit you.

I'm mad because these blades have been nothing but up's and down's and its only been on the networking end. I figured the electrical work would be the hard part but that wasn't the case at all. I just want to get these things up and running. As I have no experience running BFG miner outside of minepeon on my Raspberry pi... Could someone show me what I would type in for the command to run a blade on BFGminer? Title: Re: How do you run BFGminer as a blade proxy??

Could someone show me what I would type in for the command to run a blade on BFGminer? Yeah, I have two of them, one has been running perfectly, the other is up and down like a cheap whore's knickers. ::) You need to: bfgminer.exe -G --http-port 8330 BFG should start and ask you for pool details etc. Set those up and save the config as usual. Once BFG is running, point the Blade to the IP address of the PC and port as 8330. Eac Blade must have a unique and non-important username and password. I've found BFG crashes first time the Blade connects, just running BFG again allows the Blade to connect OK. Luke-Jr is aware of the crashing issue. Once it's running it works OK.

Your config on your Blade and BFGMiner looks perfect. Title: Re: How do you run BFGminer as a blade proxy??

Oh, excuse me for not spotting that you'd intentionally butchered the syntax for effect. ::) As nwoolls says, you need to have libmicrohttpd installed too - I'm pretty sure it's listed in the dependencies (was the last time I looked, because I remember having to install it).

I cannot download newer versions of debian since I'm trying to get GMAT working, but I can't seem to find any respoitories w/ the correct file. I have installed httpd5 from the 3 repositories in the list, but that's all I could find. I found libmicrohttpd 9.20, but that requires httpf10, which requires about 10 other deb packages.... This is so painful and frustrating. I just want a simply proxy to run on my linux box... in fact, I NEED it on my linux box in order to run my entire blade farm... please help!!!!
