if i remember correctly on the setup menu for the miner software you have to enable scrypt.
you might have to click on manual and not guided to see this
it's under guided , manual only has two setting logs and Append JSON conf and below that a place to put miner settings, I bought a miner from eBay and I am struggling to get it to work on the Raspberry Pi 2. It appears under CPUMiner, but the hash is always 0. Any other configuration doesn't get detected.
Has anyone tried this miner before? It's from lketc.com and the specs are:
Brand : YuDianHuiXin
Model : Litecoin Miner 8G
Type : USB Block Erupter
Processing Speed (GH/s) : 144K/S-280K/S
Power Use (W) : 5
Compatible Currency : Litecoin
Brand : Unbranded
MPN : Does not apply
UPC/EAN/ISBN : Does not apply
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Ask the seller what setting to use they seem really nice if you bought it off the Russian guy his store or name is called mastersss or You can try this : under Local Miner Settings  also turn on: Miner superuser (root) it does :
Enable superuser mode (If your devices cannot get recognised please try enabling this option. The miner process will start with superuser/root rights, useful for some kind of devices.) Make sure the pool you use is a script pool or it won't hash you will get tons of rejects mining with a miner on the wrong algorithm .Best I can offer, i did think about buying some broads off that guy on eBay and build a 500 MH farm but at this point that would be a waste he came a long to late. Ive never used a USB Block Erupter. |

So true if the man or law lets them they don't give a rats ass who they hurt or screw over . |

hi, I have a pi-2 and the newest bfgminer, + the pi is recognizing my usb hub, but its not recognizing the avalon-2 sticks. any suggestions? i've tried many + still trying.  thank you make sure if you compiled your own BFG it has --enable-avalon the readme says it is on by default but it might be wise to compile it on any way in the bfg folder do a version check it tells, if the --enable-avalon driver is on . sudo ./bfgminer --version or bfgminer --version or sudo bfgminer --version or sudo /bfgminer --version if it is, do a hub check lsusb should list all the hubs plugged in to that pi . if all that checks out try in the BFG folder cd to your bfgminer
sudo apt-get remove libblkmaker-0.1-dev
sudo apt-get purge libblkmaker-0.1-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libevent-dev libgcrypt20-dev
sudo ./autogen.sh -rpath-link
sudo chmod +x ./configure
sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O2" --enable-avalon --enable-broad-udevrules
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
then try the miner . beyond that check power to hub , does the pi really support it, Ive had a few hubs not work with RPI and BFG but do with other PI type PC'c even after i did a hub check . |

Yes that thanks! Do you have profitability panel enabled? Try to disable it (from settings page). That was it thanks! Now I remember the profitability panel stopped working a few months ago. Thought it was a nice feature. Do you know why it is not working now? Yes I know, unfortunately Cryptsy https://www.cryptsy.com/ closed down as you probably know and I was getting market data from there so that was the issue. Now I changed at my side the way to calculate profit (I get data from blockr.io now, hope it doesn't close...) but I made a mistake I just fixed (I think). Can you try to re-enable the profitability panel? Unfortunately the new way hasn't a lot of coins so I've chosen to display only BTC, LTC and MEC (If I remember well). This one isn't to bad if it's helps any https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/seems pretty stable. |

for any one interested shipping will be close to 100 bucks , i just bought one off some one else with free shipping his shipping cost was 70 in the US by US mail and it took two weeks to get by ground US mail, US ground is very slow for heavy packages . ups will be closer to a 100 or more in The US , just a tip. but these are worth it if they are flashed with the right firmware etc ...

unless they pulled a fast one on us again !!! I'm willing to bet it was the earthquake . I renumber one time a few years back were earthquake or floods in one other place in the world caused prices for months on memory and HD's for PC's to shoot thu the roof till they got back on track . so that might just be why . we may not see a thing for 2 or 3 month now  . or i like to think that's the real reason . |

Don't use zadig you want this for bfgminer https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspxzadig is for cgminer won't work with bfgminer .zadig should just uninstall thu device manger under the usb section in windows or in control panel with add and remove Programs depends on your version of windows it's been renamed over the years but all most the same name. uninstall zadig first or you might have issue you don't want that might lead to a clean install of windows. |

thanks Mich a maintenance release is much needed and sometimes a blessing over a feature release.

Mine faster not gonna happen unless you have the hash power in fact the new hard ware miners will get slower as the Difficulty Factor increases so that means you will need faster hardware over time the old ones will get slower and make less. Software really has nothing to do with how fast they mine unless it is poorly written for the hardware it is written for . tweaking the software makes it run better, use resources better,which in turn might appear to make it faster but not mine faster or faster, you can only go as fast as the hard ware allows. so that said : there is no such software yet . you need fast hard ware for the software to do it's job right . forgot don't be alarmed even if your fast hard ware seems slow, it's never fast enough. This may be the wrong place to post this but don't feel bad they put it in the right place if it is moved. |

hey luke whats this mean it sees the S3 now but stops it
bitmain_detect_one stop bitmain_initialize -1 I did a search online and came empty or nothing found
There should be a line above that one with a more detailed error? nope but it's cool it was all blank i looked for one , it's late and I'm done for now getting tried . Did you run in text mode to prevent blanking? -T thanks didn't know about it, I'll try later on right now i need a break from it, but will get back to it, it seems more want it now. |

@ LPape bfg does both script and SHa256 or bitcoins, that's what makes it cooler then CGminer to me, Cgminer used to do both but we won't go there that's a sore subject that gonna stop here.
by default sha256 is on in BFG, when you compile it if you want to use the Script part you have to enable it with --enable-scrypt
my programming skills are not that great either but i figure out what i need to when i have to .
silverfish 28mhs and an a2-terminator in order to do that as far as i know you import there drivers into BFG don't ask me how to , no idea other then what i read,once i know more im gonna try one day .

just found two new openwrt antminer s3 bin on openwrt download page , and of course they won't flash because bitmain locked the bin so it won't but that's not a issue just use telnet to flash it . and i know i may brick the controller .that said wtf why not . https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-antminer-s3-squashfs-factory openwrt-ar71xx-generic-antminer-s3-squashfs-sysupgrade I flashed a locked TLink router about a month ago and did it from there normal locked firmware to open wrt then messed the router up tying other stuff but the flash worked i had my A4 mining on it for a while till i got brave wanted to try some thing else. Um yeah I dunno if I'd do that. You are probably going to have to cross compile bfgminer for openwrt with the bitmain driver enabled. There is a really good how to on the openwrt site. The git for bfgminer has a special makefile for openwrt. You can also try to use the repo on the front page. Even tho it's not for barier breaker it might work. ' a while back unless he never did it it was suppose to be enabled . and why not just wondering i trust your thoughts on why you know that or i wouldn't ask ".I know it will polly brick it but i have one of the custom made s3 controller not the one that comes with the upgrade kit or ant 3 in a box .; also found this Bitmain Antminer S3 Support @ trunk r46236 mines @ 38 something . Bitmain Antminer S3 Cryptocurrency Miner Hash rate: 440 GH/s @ about 340 Watts OEM Web Page https://www.bitmaintech.comHardware Architecture MIPS32 Vendor Bitmain Bootloader U-Boot System-On-Chip Atheros AR9331 CPU @Freq MIPS 24Kc @400MHz Flash size 8 MiB RAM 64 MiB Wireless Integrated Atheros 802.11b/g/n Photos and this bfg pack should work: bfgminer_5.4.2-1_ar71xx.ipk no other pack will load or let me.i have yet to take the time and learn cross compiling. i know that's my whole issue im sure and I should . and this guide https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/bitcoinmining i really can't find much more |

you have to find it on your router and you go to a web page that just is a form of cgminer
I got a device to show but not hash
With SSH i assume ? . use screen but the S3 does not have screen on it like the S2/4 c1 s5 i think S7 . it's a bitch to get working right on a S3 i think i had screen on it once after i figured out what openwrt PKG i needed @aarons6 you can start it that way in all most any windows version 7 and up . but have to use a ssh window is how he did, I'm guessing . |
