You can have bfgminer be your default miner when your Pi starts up. If nothing has changed it should be sudo systemctl stop cgminer.service sudo systemctl disable cgminer.service sudo systemctl enable bfgminer.service sudo systemctl start bfgminer.service That is still correct Zanatos666, and that is what i was doing, except i doing a daemon-reload in between the disable of cg and enable of bfg. But the bfg still failed to recognize any of the devices. So i took Lukes advice and rebooted to restore the original drivers and i was then up and running with bfg!

Im just wondering, is this miner usable for PPcoin?
A link or direction would be very much appreciated..
Yes no problem. If you want to mine on D7 pool try this: bfgminer -o http://stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u <yourusername>.1 -p <yourpassword> -S all If you want to mine on TheSeven pool try this: bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://theseven.bounceme.net:3333 -O <yourwalletadress>:esmpps -S all For fixx pool use this: bfgminer -o ppc.fixx.ru:8437 -u <yourusername>.1 -p <yourusername> -S all Thank you!

But it simply wont start with the -S all and without it sees no Block Erupters
Further to this, if I start it with -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 etc it loads ok (but is always 1 USB short of the actual when doing D - M), just the 'all' that causes it to stop I'm thinking it's something to do with the BFL kit being in the middle of the USB Hub/Erupter chain - without the hub with eth BFL kit connected the -S all works In my case, I don't use a .bat file (I couldn't get it to work for some reason) but I just use the string "C:\bfgminer-3.2.1-win32\bfgminer.exe -o pool -u workername -p password -G -S all" as a shortcut target to run the BEs. I'm running 70 BEs with daisy-chained hubs and I also have a BFL device plugged into the first hub of the chain. All are connected to a single USB 2.0 port on an old netbook running Windows 7 x86. If I run the BFGMiner shortcut with "-G -S All", the BFL chips are recognized as "ICA" and are labeled as such; all BEs and BFL chips hash normally. However, I run two instances of BFGMiner to separate them; a shortcut with the "-G -S All" for the BEs and another shortcut with only "-G" for the BFL device (this recognizes BFL properly with the appropriate labels). I turn off the BFL device to isolate it when starting the BEs and then turn it on and run the second shortcut (with only -G) for the second BFGMiner instance. These methods have been working for me. I hope this helps somehow.

With Luke's help, I've got my Pi mining with my ASIC. Currently, I start it by 1) opening a terminal 2) changing to the bfgminer-3.2.1 directory 3) entering sudo ./bfgminer I'd like it to start mining automatically when powered up. I found this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.msg2689279#msg2689279but I don't think everything I need is there. Could someone please tell me what to do, and keep in mind that Linux is a foreign language to me. Thanks

If you look a few posts up, there was mention of how to automatically start bfgminer when your pi turns on.

Looked back through the last few pages and don't see the post of how to automatically start bfgminer when your pi turns on. Could you point me to it? Sorry, I neglected to mention I'm running Raspian.

I use /etc/rc.local to make mine work.
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
assuming you left the user as the default pi, just before it says exit 0 I would add something so it looked like this.
cd /home/pi/bfgminer-3.2.1 sudo./bfgminer
exit 0
no need to change anything else that is in there.

That did the trick And you made it clear enough that even and idiot could do it. Thank you very much

I'm looking forward to the stratum proxy addition to BFGMiner under OpenWRT - I hope it'll work nicely, I'd love to get my little TPLink running all my miners including the stupid Blades. There's just something humorous about piping nearly 40GH through something less than 2" square that runs off USB (and isn't a Pi).

Just wanted to say big thumbs up to luke-jr/bfgminer. I'm using it for ASICMiner Blades. I've been comparing it to Slush's proxy and BFG is in a class of its own. More reliable, more consistent, and it's nice being able to see aggregate stats on all blades which connect to it. I reccomended it be the #1 proxy suggestion for the blades, in the ASICMiner Blade setup thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=205369.msg3247579#msg3247579

How do I setup 3.2.1 to only use my ASIC USB miners and not my graphics card? I am using Windows 7 x64. The settings I found online are for the older version of Bfgminer and don't work on 3.2.1 Thanks,

-G is deprecated, but still works for backward compatbility. You can use -S opencl:noauto I plan to disable it by default in 3.3.

How does BFGMiner compute the perecentage of Rejects and Hardware Errors? I have tried figuring them out manually (R/A and HW/A) but somehow, the quotients don't match the indicated % values. Also, why is "R" expressed as N+N. Are these numbers added to get the total "R"?
Edit: Oh, I see. Never mind. Thanks just the same.

Hi Luke-Jr
Is work_division enabled by default in 3.2.1 ?
Edit:- and will it work with devices other than Icarus?
Edit:- Found it
