Hi all, wondering if someone can help .
I am running a scrypt miner ( mining Gulden ) and trying to mine a pool ( http://nlg.hardcoreminers.com/index.php?page=gettingstarted ) .
I am very new to Linux and all the commands , I pretty much have to look everything up .

I have downloaded bfgminer onto the raspberry Pi , the program shows up under directory listing as   " bfgminer " .

Per the instructions on the link provided I am to type :

./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.eu.nlg.hardcoreminers.com:3026 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

 Here is the error I get :
-bash: ./bfgminer: Is a directory

Again I am a noob , maybe I am missing some other software needed ?

Any help would be appreciated.
ThankYou !

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

You should run that in the bfgminer folder

Which in your case happen to be ~/bfgminer, so you should use this:

Code:
./bfgminer/bfgminer

Instead of this:

Code:
./bfgminer



The "proper" way to do it would be to:

Code:
pi@raspebrrypi:~ $ cd bfgminer
pi@raspebrrypi:~/bfgminer $ ./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.eu.nlg.hardcoreminers.com:3026 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

You have to change Weblogin.WorkerName to your login data found on the My Account / My Workers area. For example:

Code:
-u desci.1 -p x

So the full command for me would be:

Code:
pi@raspebrrypi:~ $ ./bfgminer/bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.eu.nlg.hardcoreminers.com:3026 -u desci.1 -p x



If bfgminer is actually installed in the system, however, you should run it without the leading dot and slash, like so:

Code:
pi@raspebrrypi:~ $ bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.eu.nlg.hardcoreminers.com:3026 -u desci.1 -p x

I've publicized the scripts I use in the raspberry pi to control the ASIC miners, but the instructions are in brazilian portuguese.

Will eventually translate them and provide a link.
