so question, I know that BFG works with the gridseed 5 chip pods for scrypt mining. What about dual mode with the gridseed device? I am pretty sure the first comment to come my way might very well be why would you want to do that. I realize profit for sha/scrypt mining on the little buggers is nonexistent. I am just at war with the pc at the moment trying to do it. currently I am running cpu&cgminer to accomplish this, but it is not getting the results i think it should be.
AFAIK only the DualMiner ever supported SHA2, and on the GridSeed devices, the PCB design was such that SHA2 overheated it. In any case, the BFGMiner driver for gridseed only supports scrypt, and nobody has mentioned plans to add SHA2 support, so unless you're prepared to write/contribute code, you won't get very far with that  |

Hello,
you know about when the Bfgminer support the Technobit HEX8A1 miner?
regards
... & other Technobit hardware. Only support for HEX16A is planned at this time, and possibly only for Mac/Windows since they're incompatible with Linux. We'll need samples of the newer hardware to support them (although maybe it's possible they use the same interface and would just work). forgive me for forgetting, what is it about them that makes them incompatible with linux? I don't entirely remember at this point... http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/97519 |

All I can say is your OS appears to be broken.
|
|
|
|
|
Why are you trying to install debs manually? Did you run aptitude update before starting??
|
|
|
|
THX for your answer, but over source: configure: error: Could not find HASH_ITER - please install uthash-dev 1.9.4+ but uthash-dev is on the newest version installed? regards What version is that? |
|
|
|
Have anyone the same problem on the PI? root@sunwatch:/usr/src# apt-get install bfgminer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package bfgminer
regards I think Raspbian is based on Debian stable, which is too old for Bitcoin stuff. Usually I just build from source. |

will the new bfgminer 5.0 support antminer u3 like the cgminer?
When/if Bitmain sends me something to work with... which depends on their customers requesting BFGMiner support. |
|
|
|
That looks like a hardware issue - but obviously if restarting the software helps, it must be something else... unless the downtime from the restart is giving it time to cool? Unfortunately, I never received an Avalon Nano sample to debug with - IIRC, the vendor only wanted to send a sample if I was going to personally buy a large volume myself. I'd recommend customers express their interest in well-tested BFGMiner support, so that perhaps they will understand the importance of sending a developer unit. |
|
|
|
I am part working on making BFGMiner and Antminer S1 and S3 to work. Let me know how I can help. Not sure I parsed that correctly - do you mean you are writing the code? If so, a pull request on GitHub is probably best. |
|
|
|
I used : --cmd-dead shutdown-r-f .  I think you want a few spaces in there... |
|
|
|
Is there any details on the pool strategies? I want to select a suitable one but I can't understand it. An explanation would be helpful. What is unclear from the README descriptions? --cmd-idle <arg> Execute a command when a device is allowed to be idle (rest or wait)
--cmd-sick <arg> Execute a command when a device is declared sick
--cmd-dead <arg> Execute a command when a device is declared dead
What all arguments can I use? Any arguments to restart the dead miner? They're commands for your OS - so usually useful for things like sending emails, SMS, etc. BFGMiner will try to restart dead miners on its own by default, though... If the entire PC needs to be rebooted, *nix has a "reboot" command (I imagine Windows has some command to do it as well). |

NEW VERSION 5.0.0, NOVEMBER 29 2014Human readable changelog:- Multi-blockchain support: BFGMiner can now be told which pools use the same "mining goals", and will track the blockchain independently for ones that don't. This allows you to mine multiple cryptocurrencies concurrently using any pool strategy (including balance and load-balance).
- Multi-algorithm support: BFGMiner is now capable of hashing on both scrypt and SHA256d work at the same time, and you can assign the mining algorithm to use on a per-goal basis. As with multi-blockchain support, this works even in balancing strategies. Note that at this time, only CPU, OpenCL, and Proxy drivers actually support multiple algorithms at the same time (DualMiner must be preconfigured for only one, and GridSeed remains scrypt-only).
- Stratum extensions for mining goals: New experimental methods mining.capabilities and mining.set_goal for Stratum allow you to expose control of the mining algorithm to the pool. These extensions are considered draft and may be changed based on the needs of multiblockchain pool operators.
- RPC: Also extended for multiple mining goals/algorithms. Interface is subject to change.
- kncasic: New driver for KnCMiner Neptune (and 2nd-gen Jupiter modules).
- minion: New driver for BlackArrow Prospero X1.5.
- titan: Work flushing optimisations from KnCMiner, and reduce processor view from per-core to per-die.
- Keccak: Support for the SHA-3 winner hash as a proof-of-work algorithm.
- opencl: Workaround broken global work offset support in buggy drivers.
- opencl: GPU mining is now disabled by default for scrypt. Use -S opencl:auto to enable it.

Is there a way to get the new Antminer U3 to work with BFGminer?
Unfortunately, Bitmain has not been providing samples to work with since the S1 (which they also didn't follow up on). The best route is for more customers to contact them asking for BFGMiner support, so they are aware of the need for quality software support. In the meantime, perhaps the U3 is cheap enough that someone might be interested in donating one? |

Hello luke. This might not be a issue but it's strange to me. I have 2 zeus thunders running on bfgminer just fine, but there is something that puzzles me. If I set the --set zus:chips=128 your program then reports 1024 chips not 128. I have set it with --set zus:chips=16 and I get much better results in hash rates allways around 28 to 30 mhs. Bfgminer reports 128 chips. I also have gaw furys but it seems everything you set in Bfgminer is times 8.
I dunno if thats a flaw in bfgminer or thats how it's set up. It just seems to work better if you can set the true chips.
IIRC (but this is Nate's area), Zeus design has 8 cores per chip, and BFGMiner shows each core. |

AFAIK that's 140 Mh/s SHA-2, not Scrypt. IOW less than half the speed of a Block Erupter.
/facepalm Dammit. Wish I could find an inexpensive, power friendly way of mining scrypt coins. I've got 3 gridseed 350 khs and a gawminer fury pushing about 2.5Mh/s but I need to find a better way of scrypt mining...Is there no way to use those for scrypt? The Xeon Phi is essentially 57 Pentium 3 cores with some new 512-bit instructions and 8 GB RAM on a PCI-Express card, so it can run pretty much any normal Linux software, including any hashing algorithm. SHA256d can take advantage of the 512-bit instructions for a speedup, and one part of scrypt is actually SHA256, so there's a chance it will perform decently, but almost certainly no where near as efficient as scrypt ASICs. |

Anyone want to possibly go in on a group-buy of a Xeon Phi for around $125? We only need 10 people total (including myself and at least one other on IRC). http://www.colfax-intl.com/nd/xeonphi/31s1p-promo.aspxIt can't compete with ASICs, but maybe can beat GPUs for non-ASIC mining algorithms. For comparison purposes, it looks like at least 140 Mh/s SHA256d is possible. P.S. If anyone wants to donate toward mine, please use 19nwqgD7MiBcpZg2Ku3ru395vGUxFy4aGB (or contact me for a unique address, if you want a refund in case the group buy doesn't get enough interest to happen). |
