What am I doing wrong? the 3 are connecting by stratum when one should be GBT, one stratum and the other GW. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fl3sWjVA.png&t=663&c=X639F2gqW-PMvQ)

Has anyone got this to work with BFGMiner's current version in Windows?
I see my X6500's installed in the control panel in Windows. I can use MPBM to mine -- but that program is a little -- bulky.
When I run the bfgminer -D -d? -T command I do not see my devices listed. I tried manually editing the .conf file and added :
"scan-serial" : [ "x6500:A5CCCUQY", "x6500:A5XXX8IO" ],
But that doesn't work either. The documentation on the x6500 in the readme file is a little lacking in getting the x6500's to work.
Make sure you have the latest WinUSB driver installed as per this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=78192.msg1330416#msg1330416

Having connectivity problems on both stratum and GBT.

Damnit, the power went out where my rig is last night and when the power came back on, the rig didn't power back up like it's supposed to... and I'm away for the next 2 months... shit... See you guys in july!

You can even see the pool hashrate has gone down about 15-20%
Not sure where you're getting this info. Definitely not my stats, as they show a pretty normal pool hashrate graph with the same hour by hour variance we experience normally. At the time of posting stats showed about 1500 Gh/s, but I see it's gone back up. Specifically the problem is high reject rates on the stratum port, and GBT work requests are failing, so it falls back to GW.

Same here. BFGMiner 3.0.0 and nothing but problems. I doubt it's the miner, since 50btc connects fine. Something is wrong with the pool end. You can even see the pool hashrate has gone down about 15-20%, just like my personal hashrate.

My hash rate is down about 20%. I think the pool isn't providing work fast enough, causing wait states in my devices.

I'm curious, why have you decided not to include the FPGA bitstreams in the windows binaries anymore?
|
|
|
Miners are connecting fine to ".st" but stats appear to be frozen. Stats are fixed now.
|
|
|
In other words, these new changes won't have any effect on 99% of the miners, who maintain a decent hashrate and don't change addresses.

because you WILL have long rounds too, and if you gave the coins away, then you can't pay people for the long rounds.

Thanks for the update, wiz! You're doing a great job at this pool, I'm glad I chose this when MtRed closed.

Anyone else having issues staying connected?

I posted the meat of this in a post on reddit, but I figured it could be helpful here, since there's no real "Quick-start" guide for BFGMiner. This will get someone mining, and fairly optimized within about 15 min.
This post will be using commands and settings based on BFGMiner so go grab a copy and play along. I'm also going to assume you're in windows, but it really isn't much different in *nix.
Run the client with the options like this either in a command prompt or from a shortcut(or you can just run the .exe and follow the onscreen instructions to set up a pool):
bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://mmpool.bitparking.com:3333 -u YourWorkername -p WorkerPassword
Once you're in the program, and you see your cards spitting out shares, pres "S" then "W" and hit enter twice to get back to the main screen. This creates a config file, saving all your settings. Now to run the program in the future all you need to do is run the .exe (no need for the extra options now)
To change anything, now all you have to do is edit the bfgminer.conf Make sure you don't mess with the formatting, however. If you want to learn how to properly format it by yourself, look up JSON formatting. The easiest way to add more pools (for backup when your primary pool goes down, etc) is from bfgminer itself by hitting "P" then "A" and follow the onscreen prompts. once your new pool is added, make sure you save your config file like we did before.
For how to squeeze every last MH/s out of your chips, you'll want to fiddle with some configuration settings. In your bfgminer.cfg at the top should be your primary and backup pools, followed by something that looks like this:
"intensity" : "9", "vectors" : "2", "worksize" : "128", "kernel" : "diablo",
with a bunch of other options at the bottom that you don't need to change(if you have 2 or more gpus, it will look similar, but with comma separated values like "d,d" for intensity). You can mess with the intensity, 9 is the max you'll want to go at all, but if you still want to use the desktop that is being rendered, you'll want to go down to "d" which is a dynamic intensity. Try modifying the vectors try out 1, 2, 4, and 8 to see what gives better results. Worksize is the same, 64,128,256 are what you should try. Kernel is a big one I think the default is "poclbm" but i find diablo has given me better results. If you're running a 7000-series try "diakgcn" that is designed for it.
Play with these settings, edit them, save the .conf and then hit "S" "B" and "Y" to quickly restart bfgminer without having to open the .exe again. You'll have to do this lots of times until you find the right combination of kernel, vectors, and worksize that works for your GPU.
If anyone has corrections or criticism, feel free to let me know, I'd like to improve this guide.

I already gave you another solution. Contact him on IRC.

so you think my bills can wait ?
it is not good business to do like that.. How do you think to motivate another users to come to your server ?
When I can get my earned funds ?
Chill out. You haven't given the Pool Op a chance to reply, it's been less than 2 hours since your initial reply... If you're really desperate, try the IRC channel.
