Yes, try that, and make sure you have the correct drivers installed. Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: Two4D on June 25, 2014, 12:37:24 PM Ok now it is working, but not properly I think...
One has 100% error rate the other one has 65%, any ideas? Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: byt411 on June 25, 2014, 04:15:21 PM Ok now it is working, but not properly I think... One has 100% error rate the other one has 65%, any ideas? Error rate as in Hardware Errors or Rejects? What pool are you mining on? Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: Two4D on June 26, 2014, 12:57:11 PM Ok, I think I know what might be the problem. Right when I open bfgminer I get following message:
Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COM3 And then it goes on and start mining. One miner seems to perform normaly when the other one has abou 95 to 100 % HW.

Post by: Two4D on June 26, 2014, 09:48:30 PM No, now I get the same error, but the miner closes then.
Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: byt411 on June 26, 2014, 10:18:12 PM No, now I get the same error, but the miner closes then. Run cgminer with a command prompt, and see what the error is. Then we can help. Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: DrG on June 29, 2014, 11:13:18 AM Alternatively, install the drivers on another PC if you have access and try mining on that as host. If that works you can rule out the miners and chalk it up to a driver or port issue.

Sorry, how exactly do I do that? Run -> cmd -> cd whereyourfileis\cgminer.exe Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: Two4D on June 29, 2014, 06:04:43 PM I got the directory name is not valid..
Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: byt411 on June 29, 2014, 06:32:58 PM I got the directory name is not valid.. Okay. Where is your cgminer? Open that folder. Example: https://i.imgur.com/BsZjPxO.png As you might see, the path is "C:\Users\byt411\Desktop\Bitcoin Mining\cgminer-3.7.2-windows - Scrypt". Simply cd to "C:\Users\byt411\Desktop\Bitcoin Mining\cgminer-3.7.2-windows - Scrypt" and type in cgminer.exe. Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: Two4D on June 29, 2014, 06:57:35 PM Ok thank you, so I wrote cd C:\Miner\bfg and I get \Miner\bfg is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Weird. OK, make a .bat to open the cgminer, and add "pause" on a new line at the end of it. Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: Two4D on June 29, 2014, 08:16:58 PM Windows cannot find bfgminer.exe
Not sure what that is :O I am sure I wrote correctly.. Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: byt411 on June 29, 2014, 08:23:55 PM Windows cannot find bfgminer.exe Not sure what that is :O I am sure I wrote correctly.. Okay. What is the path to the bfgminer? Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: Two4D on June 29, 2014, 08:25:27 PM Ok here is the exact copy and paste of the path...
C:\Miner\bfg Title: Re: Running 2 bfgminers on same PC? Post by: byt411 on June 29, 2014, 08:32:46 PM Ok here is the exact copy and paste of the path... C:\Miner\bfg Open cmd, do "cd C:\Miner\bfg", then "bfgminer.exe". If that doesn't work, I have no idea why. |
