OLD: BFGMiner 3.10.0: modular ASIC+FPGA, GBT+Strtm, RPC, Mac/Lnx/W64, AntU1, DRB

[Mudbankkeith]

Apologies for what I am sure is a really daft question but I cannot find the answer anywhere.

I am currently using a single Antminer U1 with Bfgminer, no issues at all.

I am awaiting delivery of two more U1s, when they arrive do I need to setup a worker for each U1 or can they all "share" the same worker?

If i do need separate workers for each, what is the correct syntax for the bfg command line please?

If you plug in all three sticks wait for the driver to find them and restart BFG they should all show up.

If you want to run each in a separate session, plug in one stick, then start BFG.
                                                               plug in your next stick, then start another session of BFG. ........   etc.

Anyone here using RPi with Yellowjacket nanofury? 

On bfgminer 3.10.0 (win7), Yellowjacket runs fine.

On RPi(Minepeon), I have compiled the 3.10.0, but it does not detect the 4 x Yellowjackets.  cgminer detects and runs them, but I get failure after running for 30 minutes.

I am using a powered hub 5V 4A max output.


Are there additional switches or options that I need to include when compiling 3.10.0 in Arch Linux(I think Minepeon is running on top of Arch Linux)?

Would appreciate any help here.

Thanks.

try the latest minepeon dowload  0.2.5 pr1 (no compiling needed)

Is there an easy way to present BFGminer in a tab on a windows browser, instead of a terminal on the desktop?

Thanks very much for the reply, however, I am still not entirely clear - if they are all running in the same BFG session do they get sort of aggregated together and share the same worker/credentials or do I need to configure a pool worker for each AntMiner?

3 sticks in one session are aggregated together so you only need one worker. Also the vardif will raise the difficulty level and reduce the network traffic. You get 1 share at difficulty level 3.

If you run one in each session you will get 3 shares at difficulty level 1.     

The end result is the same but the network traffic for difficulty level 3 would be 66% less (approximately).

Great, thanks very much for explaining.

I need help using this with my redfury and my block erupters

[ManeBjorn]

Even better.
MultiMiner is a complete GUI for BFGminer.
It works great and nwools who develops it works with Luke on BFG as well.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248173.0

It's great and easy to use.

Is there an easy way to present BFGminer in a tab on a windows browser, instead of a terminal on the desktop?

[ArcticWolfie]

I got some issues with mixed UE and NF setup... it works fine on windows 8.1 but can't get it to work on my RPI. I installed raspbian and installed hidapi (correctly) then used git clone to get bfgminer.
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-icarus --enable-nanofury --enable-bitfury && make

but whenever I execute bfgminer, I get this error: mcp2210 lowlevel driver failed to open it
it connects just fine to my usb erupters after that, but it keeps spamming:
[2014-01-26 14:01:43] nanofury_lowl_probe: Matched "NanoFury NF1 YellowJacket" serial "0000099250", but mcp2210 lowlevel driver failed to open it

is this a driver issue? if so, is there a fix for this?

MutiMiner is good but I am looking for a tab on Chrome browser, instead of a terminal on the desktop.

If you have your miner in a tab on Chrome, it can be monitored from any other device logged into Chrome.

The same way that the latest Minepeon 0.2.5 pr1 shows on a tab.

Maybe this is too new.

Neil (mineforeman) may know the answer?

[ManeBjorn]

Did you try MinePeon instead on the PI?
It seems to run much smoother and have far less problems.

Hi, got a bit of a problem here.

I'm using my gpu to mine at an approx speed of ~190Mh/s, and apparently I can't seem to leave the cpu and go AFK. If so, bfgminer will run at an insanely low speed of 0.02Mh/s until I move the mouse or something (I didn't get this issue with GUIMiner, so I'm guessing it's something to do with the settings)

This typically happens when I'm watching a movie or youtube shows with the miner at the background, when I'm not touching the mouse/keyboard.

I did a brief search on Google but with no help, so I'm wondering if this is a setting I'll need to configure, or other reasons.

As I'm a newbie miner, I'm still using my pc to mine, so this issue is generally ok. But I can't get it to run overnight because of the slowing down.
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

minepeon doesn't even support nanofury

[ManeBjorn]

I did not know that.
I was thought it supported all of those as it uses the BFG?

To to run the NFY on a Linux box. Sudo is req'd. As well if it's on a Pi there is a special boot flag that needs set otherwise the USB will fail.

Anyone here using RPi with Yellowjacket nanofury? 

On bfgminer 3.10.0 (win7), Yellowjacket runs fine.

On RPi(Minepeon), I have compiled the 3.10.0, but it does not detect the 4 x Yellowjackets.  cgminer detects and runs them, but I get failure after running for 30 minutes.

I am using a powered hub 5V 4A max output.


Are there additional switches or options that I need to include when compiling 3.10.0 in Arch Linux(I think Minepeon is running on top of Arch Linux)?

Would appreciate any help here.

Thanks.

In part of the configure output is a section showing enabled drivers. If the NFY is enabled then run bfgminer as sudo aka root. If that still does not work. A boot flag may need to be changed that forces USB 1.1

Well I did both but I get a shitload of errors

when using sudo i keep getting WITHOUT -S all flag the NFY start up without an hitch, but it doesn't start the usb erupters.

with the -S all flag I keep getting the mcp error and:
mcp2210_set_cfg_spi: Error setting current SPI config
[2014-01-26 21:48:55] NFY 0: bitfury_init_oldbuf: Giving up after 4 tries

 [2014-01-26 21:48:56] NFY 0: bitfury_init_oldbuf: Giving up after 4 tries‏

and the NFYs go off kinda immediatly after that.

when adding the boot flag to usb 1.1 the PI crashes and reboots...

I got no issues under windows.

I tried to search for this info, but could not find anything.  Given the fact there are rejected shares, how can the "all time average hashrate based on accepted shares" (118.5Gh/s) be larger than the "all time average hashrate" (117.4Gh/s)?  How can the pool accept shares faster than the miner can generate them?

On the BFGminer stat screen, what is  I:17.00uBTC/hr or rather what is uBTC ?

100th 1000th 10,000th 100,000th 1,000000th BTC ? 1.0000000 where is decimal on 8 digits for 17 uBTC.
