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

[Luke-Jr]

Code:

bfgminer: can't load library 'libcrypto.so.1.0.0'

TP-Link MR3020, AR71xx

Attitude Adjustment?

Yes 12.09

Did you force BFGMiner to install without dependencies somehow?
Or did the install fail (out of flash space)?

libcrypto.so.1.0.0 is provided by libopenssl, which is depended on (and used) by libcurl, which bfgminer itself depends on...

It ran out of space while installing but still finished and keeped all files.
Now it installs into ram on every boot which works very fine so far...

Hi, why diff show 0 when scrypt mining? In cgminer show 32 or 64, depending of pool

[Luke-Jr]

Hi, why diff show 0 when scrypt mining? In cgminer show 32 or 64, depending of pool

cgminer is showing Ldiff (Litecoin difficulty).
BFGMiner is showing pdiff (pool difficulty).

BFGMiner is showing pdiff (pool difficulty).

Exactly pool difficulty in BFGMiner is 0, and Ldiff is 894. in cgminer pool difficulty is 32, and Ldiff is 58.6M. Here my settings:
@echo off
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://mining.eu.hypernova.pw:3333 -u user -p password -d 0,1 -I 20,19 -w 256 -v 1 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 21772,16192 --queue 0 -s 1, whats wrong?

From the cgminer README/FAQ:

Q: Why do the scrypt diffs not match with the current difficulty target?
A: The current scrypt block difficulty is expressed in terms of how many
multiples of the BTC difficulty it currently is (eg 28) whereas the shares of
"difficulty 1" are actually 65536 times smaller than the BTC ones. The diff
expressed by cgminer is as multiples of difficulty 1 shares.

It looks like BFGMiner does not do the same re-calculation that CGMiner does.

You're confusing Litecoin's network difficulty with Litecoin-difficulty-unit.

Target	pdiff	bdiff	Ldiff
BC network (today)	31.3M	31.3M	2T
LTC network (today)	894.212	894.198	58.6M
pdiff 1	1	0.999985	65536
bdiff 1	1.000015	1	65537
Ldiff 1	0.000015	0.000015	1

I mean this:
 
will you improve it?

BFGMiner is the improvement already. It is not difficulty 64, it is difficulty 0.001.

Does it have large strings of the stratum request events frequently or just every once in a while. With a 1Ghash/sec rig you should see results far outstrip requests.

what is the best way to bootstrap a x6500? I have one, with fan and heatsink that after some minutes, it get SICK and DEAD. bfgminer, compiled yesterday from github. Im running it together with 3 usb erupter..

Even with the zadig_v2.0.1.160 driver, I can't get BFGminer to see any of my X6500.

[vpereira]

for me, i have a cluster with 12 fpgas running on raspberrypi. I isolated one x6500 and I'm trying to run it, together with the pi and it simply get sick and die

anybody running a x6500 + bfgminer? which cmline params do you use?

Hello,

I have been running a pi (I have two pi's; R1 and R2) with a ZTEX 1.15x and 2 CM1 FPGA boards running BFGMiner 3.0.2. I recently upgraded to version 3.1.2 and acquired 7 USB Block Erupters plugged into a DLINK 7 port hub which maximum amperage is 3A.

The CM1 and ZTEX do not have significant problems in running but upon installing the new BE, it only takes about one hour until the pi crashes and needs to be restarted. I have tried both hardware revisions and I can confirm that it still crashes on both.

I reduced the load on the USB device from 7 to 5 (5 * 0.51 = 2.5amps) and it still makes the pi crash to the point of needing a hard restart. I am now testing with 4 USB BE plugged into the hub.

The arguments used when executing BFGMiner is "-S all".

I am not sure if this is a problem with power draw which I am trying to eliminate or a software problem that is causing the pi to crash.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

A backtrace may be useful.
Rebuild with

Code:

make clean && ./configure CFLAGS='-O0 -ggdb' && make

Note that -O0 is OH ZERO.

Then start bfgminer with

Code:

gdb --args ./bfgminer YOUR OPTIONS ETC -S all

When it crashes, run

Code:

thr app all bt

... and post the output from this (it will be many pages).
