Noticed these messages after I recently restarted. Have they always been there, or have I goofed up some library somewhere? (A real possibility since I've been reworking my miners trying to standardize them. If so, just need a hint as too which library I've accidentally downgraded)
[2014-02-04 14:06:52] OCL 0: set_device is not implemented (trying to apply rule: all:temp-

[2014-02-04 14:06:52] OCL 0: set_device is not implemented (trying to apply rule: all:temp-

I know they were cutting off a week ago...
As always, thanks!

By using the --coinbase-addr and --coinbase-sig options, you are telling BFGMiner to use getblocktemplate for mining, and that may be incompatible with the alt-coin you are trying to mine.
If you take those options out, it will connect to your coin daemon with getwork instead, and the daemon will automatically generate a payment address in your wallet whenever you find a block.
EDIT: If you are using ASIC h/w to mine that alt-coin, getwork will not be fast enough. You may have to set up a private pool with stratum to solo mine that coin.
YEAH! Its up and running! I had actually tried it without those options before, but got a "no hardware found" type message. Eventually moved on awaiting a response here, cranked up my regular workload, and got the same error! System required a reboot to recover. No idea why, but it was just like the graphics cards had disappeared. Oh well, easy enough fix. Should I be able to do: ./bfgminer -S opencl:auto --gpu-fan 100 --auto-gpu --intensity 18,20 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 100 --temp-target 80 --scrypt -t 4 -o http://localhost:6332 -O yaccoinrpc:471EQrAidMjGKb8GYk9P2S4wLcbmKWhNkKXNV4g3vi9M ...and expect both the GPUs and the CPUs to get involved in the game? I've compiled bfgminer with cpu mining support, the "-t 4" is accepted by the command, but I don't see cpu task start nor does the process cpu consumption go up. |

localhost:8332 ?
Local coin too... forked from the Litecoin github... those are the binaries I'm running. Changed the ports not to conflict with real work being done. |

If I understand correctly, and you are using bitcoind, you can type 'bitcoind getnewaddress' to get an address to use (or 'bitcoind getnewaddress <accountname>' if you want the address to be associated with a specific account name). If you are trying to find the address for which some coin has already been sent to, you can type 'bitcoind listtransactions' to see all the addresses that have been used in transactions. Ah! Thank you! It seemed like it should be something simple like that. Full ugly command line now looks like: ./bfgminer -S opencl:auto --gpu-fan 100 --auto-gpu --intensity 18,20 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 100 --temp-target 80 --scrypt --coinbase-addr DmQJs6eTNDP2pWZA9PmqJWEjGosYFgqLKe --coinbase-sig "Gentoo1: This block generated by Cassey via GPU" -o http://localhost:6332 -O yaccoinrpc:471EQrAidMjGKb8GYk9P2S4wLcbmKWhNkKXNV4g3vi9M Which returns: ./bfgminer: --coinbase-addr: Invalid address The coinbase address specified is a getnewaddress generated on one of my seed hosts. Thoughts? (Besides me being a p.i.t.a?) (I do sincerely appreciate the help, it feels like bits and pieces are falling into place) |

So here is a question that makes me feel really stupid: Without a QT wallet, how can I look up my wallet address? The coin binary, of course, generated a wallet.dat on the user when it was first started, but that is not readable. I didn't see a bitcoin command that would display the current wallet address...
That is the million <coin> question. I have no idea OK, thanks. That made me feel better. Guess its time to for try 2718 at getting a clean Windows-QT coin executable built. Command line is (generally) just so much easier... (yeah, I'm an old fart that started with 110 baud teletype machines for a UI). |

1. BFGminer is a mining software designed to be used solo or in a pool type environment
2. Work will be done based on previous block, nonce, and merkel root (i think..still don't fully get that idea)
3. User would be wallet string of characters and numbers, and PW is whatever is in the .conf file
4. again, bfgminer is for solo or pool type environments.
EDIT: Look for "How to solo mine bitcoin" or any other currency, and fill in the configuration file thusly...with your ports, IP addresses, etc...
Wow! Appreciate the quick response! Hmmm, my binary instance just has the <coin>.conf file with rpcuser and rpcpassword (and alertnotify). I'm not using a bfgminer.conf, just specifying everything on the command line (easy, since I use unix scripts to launch). So here is a question that makes me feel really stupid: Without a QT wallet, how can I look up my wallet address? The coin binary, of course, generated a wallet.dat on the user when it was first started, but that is not readable. I didn't see a bitcoin command that would display the current wallet address... |

I've been fooling around with my own scrypt coin mostly to help me understand how all the pieces fit together (and because I'm apparently a bit masochistic).
Anyhow, have the unix binaries running fine, 3 machines merrily crunching coins using the built-in cpu miner, dnsseeds working, etc. I don't have a QT wallet built yet, so just letting each machine gen coins into their local one.
I'd love to let one of my GPU enabled machines crunch a bit to speed up getting to a few good checkpoints.
Alas, I find myself conceptually confused now.
Premise 1: bfgminer is a pool mining tool
Premise 2: I have a functional coin network going, not a pool that hands out work
Premise 3: Maybe my local running binary could accept a connection to its listening port, but username and password is going to be meaningless.
Premise 4: bfgminer will want to validate the pool against username and password
QED: I need some type of pool software?
Comments?

Any recommendations for powered USB hubs for AntMiner U1's?
I'm running my (6) in an ANKER USB 3.0 9-port hub (with 1 extra charging port). Comes with a 5amp 12V power supply (60W), which is more than adequate for running all (9) USB ports at full 3.0 spec (900ma each @ 5V = 4.5 watts/port) plus the 2AMP charging port (10 watts) - with an extra 9.5 watts available before it would reach spec. e.g. the power brick runs nice and cool. Available over at Amazon. Not as robust as the custom job above, but seems rock solid all the same and runs $60. |

My 2x U1 are performing fine. Both locally and Eligius are above 4 GH/s with the 981 setting for long averages. But going a little up and down.
No hardware errors or one in 10.000.
a81 fails completely on one. Many errors on the other.
My 6x u1 are performing fine. Running right at 12 GH/s with 0.05% hardware errors pretty consistently. Awaiting resistors now expected at the end of the month. |

Where did your support forum go? I closed the window and now can't find it... Perhaps a link on the Support page would be useful?

I'm glad he does that work too. MultiMiner with BFG for the backend is great. The only thing I have to run separate is MemoryCoin or Primecoin on the CPU.  I haven't tested with Primecoin specifically but you can follow the Windows build instructions to get CPU mining enabled. https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/bfgminer/windows-build.txtPrime POW support was never finished/merged; so someone willing to clean up the code is needed to get it added in. Actually, I'm much more comfortable around a Linux command prompt. I was rather hoping I could just do a "-t 4" along with my "-S opencl:auto" invocation. I went back and built it to try and reduce the number of monitoring sessions I have open, but I never see it doing the CPUs. Guessing I can't mix and match, even through everything else is the same for that instance. That... and I had the impression you might drop CPU-mining from the codebase?  Is that just rumor? I can play some more, just need time... In the meantime, Pooler, aka minerd, is at least doing something. |

Well they will get better.
I'm sure they will, and I think the initial crop is still very interesting. In the meantime, thanks for your support of scyrpt Nwoolls! It nice to use one mining software package for all my needs. (well mostly, I hate to see a CPU sit idle, so CPU mine as well for Primecoins (on windows), and scyrpt on Linux. If I didn't do that, the cpu's would be busy doing BOINC, so even if I'm losing money, I'm losing it slower <smile>) |

Hi,
Anyone facing this situation in bfgminer where if you have slower devices like erupters with faster ones like furies, one or more slower devices would have lower accepted rates? I originally suspected it could be my erupters but when i moved the erupters to another machines, they progressed at the same (accepted) rates. btw, i am using bfgminer 3.10.0
You mean like this: OCL 0: 29.0C | 31.3/ 29.1/ 9.0kh/s | A: 2 R:2+0(none) HW:0/none OCL 1: 92.0C | 452.2/451.4/323.3kh/s | A:46 R:0+0(none) HW:0/none OCL 2: 85.0C | 465.8/466.4/355.6kh/s | A:49 R:1+2(none) HW:2/none Where CL0 is the APU and CL1 & 2 are R9 270xs? Thanks for the post, just cranked this guy up last night and hadn't noticed. Still, acceptance level of CL0 is in line with its relative performance. |

As I shift non-ASIC things over to Litecoins, I'm finding myself with a mix of GPUs in my system and wondering if there is a way to set parameters for each individually?
For instance, one poor machine has an APU, a 7870, and a R9-270x.
Note that I'm seriously impressed that it works as well as it does with just generic setting, but one is always trying to tweak a bit more out.
FYI using "-S opencl:auto --intensity 16 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 100 --temp-target 80 --scrypt --gpu-fan 100 --auto-gpu" now.
Miner update: Swapped cards around on another machine, running (2) XFX R9-270s at --intensity 20, rest left alone, and they are running at 465khs/ +/- 2.

though it hasn't been a long test, I'm officially against antiminer ... antminer is much better.
Don't you wish all such problems were so easy to fix? Try building a Windows QT wallet sometime when you need a challenge...  Monkey and I must have copied the typo from the same place.  Actually, I did the same thing day 1. |

Can someone help me here, got 6 miners. In the bat file i have the speed set to 2GHZ (0981)  But they only seem to be doing around 1.6-1.8 had the 6 miners getting arounf 9.5-10GHS, but I was expecting 12GHZ They are plugged into this hub http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DCO9YVM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 so power shouldnt be an optio, can anyone help This is the bat C:\Users\Windows\Desktop\Bitcoin\bfgminer-3.10.0-win32\bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://uk1.ghash.io:3333 -u myname -p mypass -S antminer:all --set-device antiminer:clock=x0981 --no-opencl-binaries --no-submit-stale You need this --icarus-options 115200:1:1 for the serial to report the clocks right. DO i just add that to the end of the bat file I don't use icarus-option and mine works fine. However, I do use "--set-device antminer:clock=x0981", not "antIminer" <smile> Shouldn't an antiminer destroy your coins? |

Sounds like an issue with one of the libraries in your USB stack. Cross-check the versions across your installations, and update them if they are behind.
Thanks! That makes sense! I'll check as soon as I get home tomorrow evening. Still, can't be too far behind. That system was only built about 2 weeks ago. But at least its something to check. Alas, that wasn't it. Every package with "USB" in its name is the same on both systems. Still... I appreciate the thought. Awaiting a new hub, so can't play until it comes in. |

I have this wonderful code running on several machines now - just soaking up what cycles are free (sorry BOINC!).
However, on ONE of my Linux systems I'm missing something. I'm guessing I need to install some library or another, but I'm getting:
[2014-01-22 19:39:07] workio thread create failed
Immediately upon launching mined: ./minerd --url=stratum+tcp://lite.wemineltc.com:3334 --userpass=Cassey_Jean_Claude.farm2cpu:pass
Sounds like you ran out of resources on that particular box. Care to share some system information? Architecture, distro, kernel version, what kind of other programs you have running at the same time, and the output of free and ulimit -s would be nice. Appreciate the help. Alas, when I just came back from a weekend trip and tried to reproduce, I couldn't. FYI, it is a Gentoo Linux system built on a AMD A4-6300 APU. Super low end, only 15 kh/s between the two cpus, but the system is running a 7870 and I couldn't see wasting the cycles. |

One hint I picked up earlier in this thread: Check to make sure the screws are tight. A small standard allen wrench is all that is needed. Some have reported they are a bit lose and the heatsinks may not be working at 100%.
