I think it's time pools shut off NMC support...

Running into a noob problem: Your description said to use opkg to install BFG miner. DD-WRT uses ipkg?
is this still possible to do without to much knowledge? opkg basically automates download and installation of ipkg software. I'd think you could just download the .ipk manually and install it with ipkg... On the other hand, this website seems to suggest it may be a bit more complicated! If you manage to get it working, I'd appreciate some docs on how to do it  |

Is it possible to get the Miner. Working in DDwrt ?
I have a linksys e3200 with Ddwrt and a tp link mr 3420 with openwrt installed.
My FPGA boards are Ztex branded. As far as I know DD-Wrt is based on OpenWrt, so the packages might just work. |

Can it support IPv6? OpenWrt does. Is there an OpenWRT image we can start up in a VirtualBox and shorten the learning curve? I loaded the VirtualBox image from link on the Wiki page.Comes up 192.168.1.1, no IPv6 address. Most likely it needs to be configured... |

If I have the release candidate installed should I update it as well? Is there a difference to the actual release? For something as serious as Bitcoin, I would assume no (important) changes between final RC and release. I haven't verified, however. [Monday, February 18, 2013] [10:47:12 PM] <gavinandresen> pull-tester will probably be unhappy, but I just tagged version 0.8.0
[Monday, February 18, 2013] [10:53:17 PM] <Luke-Jr> gavinandresen: no rc2?
[Monday, February 18, 2013] [10:53:42 PM] <gavinandresen> nope. I'm living wild. |

It was indeed a static IP I did say I needed "instructions from the mothership", which was simply the static IP address for which the machine was configured.
Once obtained -- as my review states -- you are able to access the box and set a root password. Standard OpenWRT behavior and configuration in that regard. is open wrt anything like dd wrt? DD-Wrt is based on OpenWrt. |

Luke, I thought you were still using this full of bugs codebase.....? Fixing bugs as I find them, but Eloipool still has to support cgminer for now. Luke , have you submitted a support ticket to Con, so he can help you out? Feel free to pass it on to him. The details on the mining.resume bug lie in send() succeeding even when the packets don't actually reach their destination, and cgminer leaking the sshare object since it never gets a response. BFGMiner's codebase is too different from cgminer's in the relevant code, so if this gets fixed it can be the first cgminer-unique feature until I get a chance to write a version for BFGMiner.  |

Regarding mining.resume...
The proposed mining.resume protocol breaks stratum proxy, and cgminer's implementation is full of bugs, so I've decided to put off merging it to Eloipool master for now pending some kind of revision to deal with these bugs.
Regarding client.get_version...
Sadly, I've also found I cannot simply disable it based on client.get_version response - apparently requesting this information before initialization has completed breaks cgminer.
The only solution I can think of to deal with this bug is to have newer clients send their version unsolicited before trying to subscribe.
Regarding a default difficulty request...
Another feature request (which I have to note has been specified in GBT for a year now) is the ability for miners to send a default difficulty/target to the server.
Since clients are subscribing before authorizing, there's no reliable way to abuse to username/password for this purpose.
I propose clients simply send a mining.set_difficulty to the server when they connect, before subscribing, and adopt it only if the server replies with a true result.
Thoughts on any of these?

In the past, we still need an old cheap PC to control the mining rigs, now with Avalon, we don't even need that PC controller right? ( I have never mined bitcoin before, so I have to ask.) Rather, it has a router builtin to serve that purpose. so what's the best way to solo mine with it? can u load bitcoind into open-wrt or do u have to use a pc? Avalon/cgminer doesn't work with GBT, so you can't solo mine directly. You'll need to setup a PC with bitcoind + Eloipool. Once I'm done with BFL SC support, I'll take a longer look at porting BFGMiner to Avalon so solo mining is more practical. |

tried installing bitcoin-0.8.0-win32-setup and got the following error msg:
"Error opening file for writing:
C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe
Click Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file." That means you still have the old version running |

What the hell is up with you Luke-Jr, using the tonal system is complicating things for nothing. Nothing.
How is confusing newcomers/everyone doing anything good?
What the heck is up with you hahahafr, using the Bitcoin currency is complicating things for nothing. Nothing. How is confusing newcomers/everyone doing anything good? Obviously US dollars work fine, so we should all just keep using that. (reality: there is more to gain from tonal adoption, than from bitcoin adoption) |

BFGMiner (St. Barbara's FPGA/ GPU Miner) 3.0 will be featuring and refocussing on ASICs. Therefore, the original name no longer really fits anymore. Since I can't think of any obvious fit, I've decided to have a little contest to see if anyone can come up with a new name for it. Bonus points if you can make it elegantly fit the current "BFGMiner" abbreviation-name by simply redefining "F" and "G". If I use your suggestion, there will be a Bitcoin reward. The exact amount will be based on how good I think it works, but probably 200 - 600 TBC (about 0.33 - 1 BTC). NOTE: This contest has completed. Thanks for participating. |

Upgrade was successful using standard web-based OpenWRT firmware upgrade procedure.
New image... Is Avalon not using opkg and a jffs2-capable firmware? O.o Does it matter? It's easier to guarantee a complete update if you just image the whole flash; the unit should then exactly match fresh production units. Well, opkg upgrades would be safer (no risk of bricking) and could be automated (possibly after the user clicks an "Upgrade" button only). |

No, ZTEX just requires libusb-1.0. BFGMiner has official OpenWrt packages now, if you want to try that.
