Title: Newbie need help on using BFGminer and Multiminer
Post by: Januarius on June 02, 2015, 03:20:11 AM
I'm new to mine Litecoin.  I mined at GHash.IO pool. I've used my old netbook with AMD processor to mine with MultiMiner and it's running well. I could see worker mining at GHash. But if I used BFGminer or CGminer ...I just could not see the worker even it shown pool alive.

I tried to use desktop with Athlon X2 and old nvidia 6500 to mine. I've tried both Windows 7 and now Ubuntu. All BFGminer, CGminer and multiminer worker couldn't be seen in GHash.

In multiminer after i setup the coin and pool, i see nothing to start running, just empty list.

May I know why??

Did you enable GPU driver while compiling the bfgminer?
The GPU driver is disable by default. So you need to enable it while compiling.

 ??? ??? How to enable it??

I tried configure the bfgminer following ghash instructions again....I failed to run the ./bfgminer —benchmark....same as cgminer....

and even though I set the worker in miner....But nothing working in the pool...just like not connected....

thanks for help....

Try to compile using scrypt and gpu enable option.

I just modified and do in these ways....
# cd bfgminer/
# ./autogen.sh --enable-opencl --enable-scrypt --enable-cpumining
# CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-opencl --enable-scrypt --enable-cpumining
# make -j8

now...getting worse....I can't even see CPU running....XD

R u using inbuilt gpu ?

And i think minergate will be an easy option for you.
