ZTEX (and most FPGAs) are designed to have some amount of hw errors (usually 1-2%, at difficulty 1) in normal operation. |

he's getting 600-1500 HW bfgminer was compiled on his system, in msys shell (I did this for him  ) He's only tried std ztex miner before bfgminer.... tbh, I wasnt worried about the hw figures, considering the boards keep overclocking to 224mhz then back to 212 Think the issue is cos one board is always slightly higher HW, but I have a feeling this is actually bad thermal paste under the fan tbh |

n_p....your trying to cpu mine litecoin...... I was pretty sure default build for bfgminer has no cpu mining support, you'd have to recompile it....could be wrong, but cpu mining isnt done much these days |

You'd have to pass --enable-cpumining to ./configure before make`ing your own build. |

n_p....your trying to cpu mine litecoin...... Baby steps. First I get cpu mining working, then I get gpu mining working with my (non-opitmal) nvidia card, then I get better equipment. I was pretty sure default build for bfgminer has no cpu mining support, you'd have to recompile it....could be wrong, but cpu mining isnt done much these days It is enabled by default in Gentoo. $ grep IUSE /usr/portage/local/layman/bitcoin/net-misc/bfgminer/bfgminer-3.0.1.ebuild

Thanks for adding the Raring ppa! I got it downloaded once I got libudev0 installed. In case anyone else runs into it(libudev0 is missing in ubuntu 13.04), download from the web, install it(right click and add to software center), then you can install bfgminer(also from the software center!)
My next question is: Do I need to install the intel SDK again for opencl or is it handled in the ppa?

@Luke_jr I had to uninstall the ppa and compile it from source, but it works great. Now I just need my jalapeno to get here. I'm sending a donation your way. Thanks for the great work you've done!

Not sure, I think Ubuntu 13.04 left some things out. I found other instructions online for compiling it from git and that worked flawlessly. 16 hours in and bfgminer's still going strong!

I am having an issue with 3.0.2 or any version for that matter on a new machine. The machine is a 64bit windows 7 and it is a new build whenever I run bfgminer on it. I enter the pool and credentials and then it errors and closes. I have even tried different pools that are working on other machines. I don't know where to start looking for what is causing this or what is missing. I have even ran the latest 2.8.10 64bit build.
Any help or suggestions???

Any help or suggestions??? Run it from a commandline to see what the error is... What mining device are you trying to use? 54Gh/s bASIC Bitcoin Mining Devices

I tried running from command line and it shows no errors. The window closes and windows says it errored and closed.
Is there any other way to capture any data as to what is happening?
Hardware is a 7970, 5970, 5830. AMD processor, 8gb RAM, Raid 1 on the drives.
