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

[Luke-Jr]

But my miner is going at most 64 Mh per second and fell to 27 Mh. I have it on "d" for intensity.

And I have no idea if I am using my GPU in my computer or it is my usb miner.

Sounds like GPU.

The program didn't see it until I changed to WinUSB driver.

You just broke your driver. WinUSB is the wrong one for Erupters.
It won't work until you figure out how to undo that and get the right driver.

hi i would appreciate your help. i'm running bfgminer on a Pi. i have 3 icarus boards, 1 cm1 and 1 bfl single fpga
i did the following (made it a script so as to build it every so often):

Code:

#!/bin/bash
git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

no errors on build

also on boot:

Code:

modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x8350
sleep 1
echo "0403 8350" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
sleep 1
#BFL
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6014
#Lancelot
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6001
#Cairnsmore1
modprobe ftdi_sio product=0x8350 vendor=0x0403

i run it with either
bfgminer -c ../miner.txt -S all
or
bfgminer -c ../miner.txt -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB4 -S /dev/ttyUSB5 -S /dev/ttyUSB6 -S /dev/ttyUSB7

and the bfl is not detected or bfgminer stays in a blank screen.

even though all 0 to 7 ttyUSB exist

any ideas?

edit:
if i use bfgminer -c ../miner.txt  it starts ok but no ICA start.

by the way i've mined with them before but not all together.

tssk i wanted to change to mining onto litecoin or similar coins
however cgminer and bfgminer simply crash again

i used as command bfgminer --scrypt -I13 and this error shows when start the 32 bit version

Well, I just heard about this miner the other day. I jsut installed it on my Mint laptop just to fool around and become familiar with the program.

Im not sure what its doing but its doing something. Cool.

Ive only had experience with cpuminer (minerd) which is really straightforward on Linux. Point, Aim, Shoot.

This seems really involved. But it seems like a ton of work went into this so as soon as I get my next payments on BTC Jam I will shoot a donation @ luke-jr

after this message is given the miner crash
when i add a mining address it still crash
even if i add a so called mining pool to the list of pools in a config again bfgminer crash

[-Redacted-]

You are mining for a server located on your local network?  192.168.xxx.xxx isn't a valid external internet address.

[bronan]

Ofcourse i am solo mining which is not really uncommon you can see in the errors that it shows switching difficulty based on the network
but it does not matter if i put in a pool or my local server .... both crash the most annoying is that either bfgminer or cgminer runs
when i remove the scrypt and start mining on btc they both run fine
switch over to scrypt ...... pooof and disappear from the screen

i tried using abolute minimal parameters like --scrypt -I(2 up to 18)
or made the full command with each and every needed parameter for 7970 cards
at the moment i just want to use 2 of the 4 cards for mining because we have finally got some hot summer weather in the netherlands, but even if i select only one of the four it simply crash
no messages not any usefull hint just bfgminer/cgminer has stop working and thats it
i have no clue why this happens since it has worked in the paste very well with the same batch and also on scrypt i even have solo mined ltc for several months
Had found something which i thaught would help by adding that mining address in the config or adding a pool for confirmation but nope nothing works

[Taugeran]

@bronan: i would check your solo mining server's config. the last line:
[2013-07-17 23:51:38] No suitable long-poll found for http://192.168.178.11:13809

leads me to believe your server may be misconfigured since it cant find an LP

[bronan]

well thats what i was thinking at first also
For that reason i made an account on a few pools but when i tried mining at these known pools
Guess what no messages at all just poof application stopped working
The program simply stops working instant it not even write a log file
But again the miners work fine on btc alike pools just when i try mining scrypt pools it gets killed

Maybe you need to add more system memory as scrypt uses a lot.

I believe the AltiVec support was only for Mac OS X using some Apple-specific extensions.
I'd welcome patches to get it working on Linux, but it isn't really a priority for me to do myself unfortunately.

[OtaconEmmerich]

Is there a way to install BFGminer via Tomato Optware?

[creativex]

Luke is there a way to stop BFGMiner.exe from displaying "press enter to continue" and waiting for user input to begin mining? This is preventing a watchdog timer from functioning. Thx.

I'm not aware of anything that behaves like that off-hand.
The only press enter I am aware of is when the pools are all down, in which case it causes BFGMiner to exit...
Can you elaborate on what you want changed?
