Can I join the discord group plz?Still have a lot of questions.
Having this question in mind all the time, just cant help to ask: If I want to tweak the cgminer a bit myself, I only need to do it within the cgminer package and upload it to the Pie, am I right? Or do I have to make a new image file?
Discord is probably having a similar problem? When you connect to discord read the first pinned message: Tell me (in discord) the Discord key from kano.is and I'll give your discord account a role. That will stop discord timing you out of the channel if you are having problems. However, you must be logged in to discord when I give you the roll, discord wont allow me to give you a role unless you are in the kanopool channel at the same time as I give you the role. I could stay in the channel for a few minutes before getting booted.I'll keep trying to join, if you come across Ritz#7055, plz give me a role.

I registered kano pool.Account->settings led me back to homepage and logged me out,

Web site times out after about 15-20 minutes idle - you need to login again. It's like a bank, but can often store more money than a typical bank account, so security is tight. Edit: I just checked your web access, and it would seem that your device isn't responding to the web server all the time. It's getting a HTTP 408 happening each time you were logged out - which means there's some timing issue at your end replying to the web server. I solved the account problem with my phone after a dozen relogs. Guess it had something to do with my SSR. Can I join the discord group plz?Still have a lot of questions.

Still NO idea why on Earth you want to compile it yourself when the Canaan software works perfectly. What do you hope to gain? The API supports a plethora of tweaks, the Canaan firmware runs on top of OpenWrT so you have lots of diagnostics built in... Oh btw: You do know that the master cgminer git has changed right? Con abandoned the cgminer project long ago and locked his git. Kano - who was the other major contributor in cgminer and arguably did more of the code than Con did, has moved the master git to https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer and it has been updated with several long-overdue fixes along with adding support for the S17 chip, current is version 4.12.00 A general review and guide done by HagssFIN for the A841 is hereedit: on further thought it occurs to me that you are expecting to end up with a bootable image for your pi. That's not how it works. Compiling cgminer results in you having an executable program that you run on top of your chosen 'ux OS. Full instructions are found here in the Compac-F thread.Thing is, ja the 841 *should* work BUT you still will want to know what defaults Canaan has set for running it... Their full source code containing cgminer and all other other code can be found at the Canaan dl site. I registered kano pool.Account->settings led me back to homepage and logged me out, so that I couldnt set my payout address.What should I do?(solo account) And I got booted from kanopool's discord group moment after joining, what is going on man? Everything else is ready except for this account setting problem.And why cant I join discord with kano. Its so frustrating...plz help |

I see now I should stick with kano  I'll get my Avalon first and see what I can do with the info you gave me. If I need more help later, I'll try joining kano's discord. |

The cgminer code is the code used in the avalons.
Does the building steps in README file of cgminer 4.11.1 work for Aavalon841? If it works, what I get is an cgminer.ipk file, right? Then I pack them all up to a .img file for RasPI3? If correct, is there a readme for packing, pretty plz. |

The Avalons I can get are 2nd hand, I prefer compiling it myself with a safe copy of source code.And maybe I can modify some code for myself. So just dl a new image from Canaan https://download.canaan-creative.com/avalon841/Does the building steps in README file of cgminer 4.11.1 work for Aavalon841? Are there some tuition links for using the image and mining with avalons?kinda clueless here |

I got cgminer running on WIN10 with a Newpac. But there is little surpport now, guess I'll just try Avalon instead.
1.I can see Avalon7 driver files in cgminer-4.11.1 folder, so A721 and A741 are supported, but not A8 or above?
2.What hardware/software do I need other than an Avalon miner?
3.Can I solo-mine with an Avalon using my own RPC server? How do I do it?
So many questions! I dont know RasPI or Linux very well, plz help.

Cam I get some help on building cgminer? Already got the NewPac running under Win10, but how do I build my own cgminer with NewPac driver for Windows? It seems that I should do it under linux? But where is the source code with the driver? Nerver tried linux before, can I do it with vmware? A little confused here, Im new to this btw |

All Antminers are self-contained and are already running a ASIC chip-specific fork of cgminer done by the maker. Same for all Avalons from Canaan. Nothing for you to change there.
So usb miners you mentioned are the only choice for me, if I stick to open source cgminer? If you are intent on running copy of cgminer on a PC to play with it, yes. That said - up to Canaan's A10xx series all the Avalons are running cgminer on RasPi's along with using OpenWrT so you can play there as well. I see, thx a lot, will look into it. |

As Kano will tell you, one of the Primary developers and arguably largest contributor of code in cgminer (and ckpool) is more accurate as they are the work of several people. Link to his git https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer... Largest in ckpool, bit con is the main developer of cgminer, I'm 2nd. Can I run cgminer on a S9i Antminer?Or any other hardware with around 10TH/s? It says Avalon 8 is supported by cgminer. So does Avalon A821 count as Avalon 8? |

Well there's a reason why the most prolific open source no fee miner doesn't include CPU or GPU mining ... https://github.com/kanoi/cgminerbfg is a fork of cgminer (and he also stole the name from me) That link in my previous post explains pretty well why cgminer doesn't support CPUs or GPUs. Any proper standalone ASIC miner you buy new today should also have a no fee miner in it. People like to hack miners sold second hand and do all sorts of nasty things and add fees into them. Any 2nd hand miner you buy, you should wipe it and reinstall the original firmware from the manufacturer. However, go buy a cheap ASIC USB miner, cheaper than an recent GPU, and it will use a fraction of the power and run forever. I don't know of any ASIC USB miners that have been made in the last 5 years that are as terribly slow as a GPU ... but the USB miners all use WAY less power hashing way faster than a GPU. OMG！I just realized that you are THE GUY that developed cgminer!!The original GOD of all miners! Im just starting here, a lot to learn. I see now I should buy a ASIC miner first, I can run cgminer on it right?(dont know how yet) Can u recommend a specific ASIC miner compatible with cgminer with a price within 300 USD. It feels like where I should start. |

BTW, if I want to solo mine BTC with GPU, what miner should I use other than bfgminer?
You will earn nothing doing that. A 15W $200 ASIC USB miner that hardly makes anything, is the equivalent of 600-900 expensive GPUs. GPU mining is a complete waste of time, effort, GPUs (it'll die before you find a block) and power. Read it, it says to read it, for that reason: BITCOIN MINING INTRO & RULES OF THIS SUBFORUM - READ BEFORE POSTINGhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.0I understand, but I just want to see it running with what I have at this moment, not chasing profit right now. Say if I invest a lot into multiple ASIC hardwares and solo mine with my own pool, will I be facing the same tech problem here? Most important is that I only wanna use open source miners without fee or potential risks.Though those miners are really easy to setup. |

Problem is, people might have thought that you're going to use BFG miner for Altcoin mining because you've mentioned " GPU", since it's not feasible to mine Bitcoin using it. It's possible but the chance is extremely low compared to solo mining using an old ASIC. That's unless if you're doing it for research purposes. -snip-
BTW, if I want to solo mine BTC with GPU, what miner should I use other than bfgminer?
I'm afraid I can't help you with that since I haven't used BFGMiner. thx for the info, right you are that Im doing it for research. So since I only have my PC here, which miner should I use to mine BTC with a PC(GPU)? |

This is the Altcoin Mining board, you might get better results if you can move this to Bitcoin Mining: Bitcoin > Mining > Mining software (miners)I don't know if there are still BFG miner users there but it's best to move this to the proper board. Move button is below the page ( lower-left side). I'll ask a mod to move this if you're not allowed to. I did post there in the beginning. Someone else moved it here  . I'll try moving it back.

I am not understanding completely but I think you have a problem with your maybe Windows Defender settings,as once you click the bat file it just run for 0.1 sec to me indicates that your Antivirus software may have automatically removed the miner and so the bat file does not start. Secondly do you have your bat files edited like the text below for example in Slushpool so the miner can start? bfgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p passwordbfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u YOUR_USER_NAME_OF_POOL -p YOUR_PASSWORD_OF_POOLMore information is needed to tell us more in depth your problem. thx for reply. All Antibirus softwares are closed, and the bfgminer.exe file is still intact. My bat file is like this: PATH\bfgminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u myusername -p mypassword --generate-to myaddress Trying solo mining here. |

When I try it with MultiMiner, right after I choose to let the software download bfgminer, error report
"System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: uriString"
Anyone has an idea what should I do to fix it?

Either way to open the bfgminer.exe, double clicking or bat, it wont start.
The CMD window wont even pop up, just a flash on the task bar for 0.1 sec.
When I use "pause" in the bat file, nothing returns. Same when I run CMD first, then go to the bfgminer dir and enter "bfgminer.exe".
bitcoin-qt is running all good in server mode.This shouldnt be a problem with bfgminer settings, right?Because everyone else at least has the CMD window poping up and telling them whats happenning.
As far as I know, even if u dont do any settings, the CMD window should still pop up.
Do I need to install some kind of libs first？But no one has said anything about that.
The Installation path of bfgminer is all English and without a symbol.
plz help.Its driving me mad.
Info:
Bitcoin Core 0.21.1
bfgminer-5.5.0-win64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: GeForce RTX 3090
OS: Win10 20H2
