Anyone else all of a sudden start having their ESET or other virus program start flagging BFG? Was alwasy good, never had a problem before (but cgminer would get picked up). Now here within the last week or so ESET is flagging BFG.
Report a false positive. IMO, "antivirus" software that takes the easy way out by flagging commonly abused software as more than merely a warning, is itself malware. They should be looking for the virus/trojan itself, not the common software they use. [/quote] True, I couldnt agree with you more. I have a corporate ESET client and its password protected. Now that its being flagged, I cant use it anymore. |

I thought "express delivery" was only for shipping the product overnight? Not bumping up in the order queue.

You don't need to use --usb unless you want to be selective about which USB devices you want.
However, as the README says, it only works at the driver level, so --usb BAS:0 would disable your Jala
The BAS driver doesn't know if it's a BAM, BAS, BAL or BAJ until after it's taken control of it - so using --usb wouldn't make sense with hotplug grabbing and releasing the device every 5 seconds - the --usb control actually decides to ignore a device before it even tries to open it.
Edit: and to completely disable USB use: --usb :0 --hotplug 0
Thanks, Kano. Yes, I started going through the full README after I posed as before I had only read the ASIC one. But even after that, and after this, I am still not getting what i want. I want to enable and use both my Jala AND my one GPU, while disabling the one GPU that isnt working properly. Everything I have tried and has been suggested and have read either enables my Jala only, or my GPU only, not both. Maybe I just need to mine with the Jala and will just pull my bad card later. |

Hey guys, need a little help myself this morning and my Google-fu isnt working well (lack of food probably isnt helping). I have a rig running 2 GPUs and a Jala. One of my GPUs is giving me fits for some reason today, so I want to shut it down and mine with just the one card and my Jala. Its a watercooled unit and I am in the middle of work so dont have time to just rip it apart before anyone just asks why dont I take the card out.
I am trying to shut down the one card and mine with just the other and Jala, I can use -d 1 to use the one card, or I can use -G to shut them down and mine with the Jala, but I cant get them both working with the combination of -d 1 and --usb. I think my problem is the --usb and the syntax, but for the life of me I cant seem to figure out what it is (I've tried --usb 0, --usb BAJ, --usb baj, --usb BAJ0, and --usb baj0).
Is there something I am obviously missing, or is it just not wanting to play nice with me today?
--remove-disabled Remove disabled devices entirely, as if they didn't exist --device|-d <arg> Select device to use, one value, range and/or comma separated (e.g. 0-2,4) default: all So it could look something like this -d 0 --remove-disabled Correct me if I am wrong, removing disabled will just not show the disabled item on my cgminer screen, where as if I didnt do that, it would show the device, but list it as "off". My problem is when I use -d 0 to specify to only use a GPU, it only uses that GPU, it wont use my Jala as well, so both my second GPU and my Jala both show as "off". |

Did a system restore and got back to where I was 4 cards running and every time I add the 5 th card it give load mm driver error.
What driver version are you running. |

No clue, but I would suspect that its all going to fall in line with the same hashing power as anything. A 5870<5970<7xxx, for the most part. Just check out a mining comparison chart for bitcoin hash power and see how one card hashes over another. If you know a 5870 is good for about 30, then you can calculate the others off of that depending on the % increase or decrease in hashing power you see on comparison charts.

I guess my question is, why are you wanting to dual boot? Why arent you just running your miners on Win7? Curious.
linux is better for mining. I'm using windows for work. I have never found that Linux was better than Windows for mining, they are the same for me. Usually for most people it comes down to familiarity/ease of use, and cost. Minus the cost of hardware, if you dont already have a Windows box running or a copy of Windows laying around, and have to install a OS, then free is always better. Yes, there are the inherent Windows crashes and things, but take that out of account and I have never seen any performance increases/decreases in hashing rate from one OS over another. How would you say its better for mining? Maybe there is something I have missed all of these years. Linux will let you install it to a USB flash drive, while Windows won't. Flash drives are cheaper than hard drives or SSDs, and use very little power. Plus, Windows isn't free. That was my exact point, Linux is more versatile, no doubt, but in terms of purely hashing performance, there is no difference between them. |

I will try up dating cgminer. I have a couple boards running 5 cards on windows 7. They are on riser with a large ac blowing directly on them. It cashes as soon as I install the 5 th card it never gets to mine. Wont even start with the 5 th card.
If your other rigs are the same exact config, then its most likely either a board problem, or a card problem. |

We need more info to help: - What OS?
- What version of cgminer?
- Make sure to copy/paste any important error or log information as well
- What kind of coin are you mining?
I am running windows 7, Cgminer is 2.11.4, I am mining litecoin. How do I get my error logs? I noticed that the machine has 2 copies of windows on it, I dont know if that could be related? Windows can handle 5 cards, thats not the issue. The dual Windows isnt helping, but probably isnt hurting either. I would say its more than likely a heat thing. Some card (or cards) are getting too hot being so close together and its shutting down. What is your config for cgminer? Oh, and probably wouldnt hurt to udpate cgminer. 2.11.4? Thats way old. Many improvements made since then and are in the current version 3.3.1. |

I would suggest, if you are running bfg or cg, on a windows machine, installing and running CGWatcher. I used to have that some problem with my Jalapeno, always after I had left, in the middle of the night. CGWatcher can see the stopped work and restart your miner for you.

What miner are you using and what are your settings?
|

Two things to try: - Put "http://" in front of the pool URL
- Try pool URL "stratum+tcp://stratum.50btc.com:3333"
Also, change your intensity argument to the shorten version, -I |

Yesssssss... Catalyst still says disabled, but I can mine sha256/BTC and scrypt/LTC & Co... I updated my cgminer-version (3.1.0 always crashed) and installed the beta version of the legacy catalyst 13.4. I'm a bit confused about my 6770 which also runs fine with this legacy beta version, but ok... it works  Is your 6770 plugged into a monitor at all? |

Figure it out... Readme is missing restart computer...
EDIT: And just to let you know. This is the second time I come hire ready to make a donation and second time thinking why... First time I was pointed in every but the right direction(most of the time reading README) not to waist anyone time and it end up probably being a bug in cgminer that I found workaround since none took me seriously thinking that I just doing something wrong since this is impossible... I bet it was never investigated since new version still have it... and I did post what happens and how did I solve it.
This time first anser did help me to understand that BFL instructions aren't correct but didn't help much understanding what is wrong that it still doesn't work only disable my workaround. And what I figure out then. Missing instruction in README that I was send to read and use... Will it be fixed?
Lucko, what are you trying to use here, USB Block Erupters, or a BFL ASIC device? They are two different things (FPGA vs ASIC), and therefore have two different set of instructions and ways to configure them. If you are using USB Block Erupters, or some other USB FPGA device, then you should refer to the FPGA README, and not the ASIC README. No, the USB block erupters are also ASIC devices and the ASIC README applies. I stand corrected. |
