Or use a decent AV program (not ESET). I've never had an issue with Microsoft Security Essentials, and I've been using it since beta.

Since you have a Mini Rig SC, I was wondering if it has a built in router/Linux like Avalon or you connect the 8 long boards to an internal USB hub and then connect that hub to a PC? It has a Nexus7 builtin, but you can plug the USB into a Windows system just fine. Can one PC handle three mini rigs? If it's powerful enough (which really isn't that much). Thanks Luke. I got it up and running with 3.1.4. Disconnected Nexus 7 and hooked it up to an Anker hub. Used the same SiLabs drivers as I used for Erupters (Have not tried cgminer as zdiag fails to set the WinUSB on my machine). Works ok, I get 483-485 GH/s. Highest temp is 83C. Few questions. 1) API returns 128 PGA devices (~4GH/s each). I guess that is each BFL asic chip. Is this right? I expected 8 devices ~60 GH/s each. Just like the ones displayed in the main window. 2) The hardware errors counts for each device might be incorrect. HW > Accepted 3) I get the following errors: (Not sure what they mean or why am I getting them) [2013-08-08 00:37:34] Accepted 0046951c BFL 7h pool 0 Diff 928/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:35] Accepted 003df435 BFL 0j pool 0 Diff 1.06k/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:38] Accepted 0018dbea BFL 1h pool 0 Diff 2.64k/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:39] Accepted 00bd15ed BFL 3l pool 0 Diff 346/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:43] Accepted 0036c82d BFL 6m pool 0 Diff 1.2k/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:43] Accepted 00ef5633 BFL 1i pool 0 Diff 273/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:45] pool 2 JSON stratum auth failed: [ 20, "Unknown method", null [2013-08-08 00:37:46] Accepted 00303199 BFL 5c pool 0 Diff 1.36k/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:46] Accepted 002fe670 BFL 4g pool 0 Diff 1.37k/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:47] Accepted 00d93ef9 BFL 1f pool 0 Diff 301/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:50] Accepted 004676a0 BFL 1l pool 0 Diff 930/256 [2013-08-08 00:37:51] Accepted 00eb6f05 BFL 6h pool 0 Diff 278/256

I got it up and running with 3.1.4. Disconnected Nexus 7 and hooked it up to an Anker hub. Used the same SiLabs drivers as I used for Erupters Well, that's not possible.. BFL devices use FTDI chips, not SiLabs ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'd guess it autoinstalled the driver. 1) API returns 128 PGA devices (~4GH/s each). I guess that is each BFL asic chip. Is this right? I expected 8 devices ~60 GH/s each. Just like the ones displayed in the main window. That's correct. You can change the display to show all the processors too (D, M keystroke) 2) The hardware errors counts for each device might be incorrect. HW > Accepted I'd guess you're mining at a difficulty higher than 1. Use the % shown to see rate of bad nonces. [2013-08-08 00:37:45] pool 2 JSON stratum auth failed: [ 20, "Unknown method", null
This looks like an incomplete response from a pool that doesn't support transparent/secure stratum. Pretty normal, in that case, and shouldn't be displayed higher than debug mode...

This could be a silly question but how do I make my bfgminer screen bigger to accommodate for a few new added erupters?

Under Windows, right click on your miner window header and go down to DEFAULTS. Change the default window size. Close and re-open your miner window. Up and down arrows work to scroll the list if it's too long, too....

Ok looking for an option to rescan my usb miners to start the miners that didn't start when i loaded bfgminer.. Kinda like a plug n mine option. and yes already looked over the readme file ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Anyone know?? PS Is there a program out there i can monitor my BTC balance without the need of my wallet.dat ? A nice gui program would work ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Thanks Luke. It was bitminer, I removed it from my failover list. Luke, is bfgminer throttling work based on BFL device temperature? I'm seeing 85-86C on one BFL device and was wondering if bfgminer has a logic to throttle work, sort of like GPU temp control. Thanks, af_newbie

Format it to your liking and add auto refresh and be done. Access it from your phone/tablet etc.

You probably have many addresses in your wallet. So you'd need to add balances of each address from blockchain.info to get the total balance of your wallet.

Out of curiosity. Is there option to manually pause work on all devices [Pause All/Unpause All]? For example when resetting router, so BFG won't start hooping to other (fail-over) pools.

Kinda like a plug n mine option. and yes already looked over the readme file ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) bfgminer-rpc "devscan|erupter:all" Follow README.RPC for setup on the miner. Is there a program out there i can monitor my BTC balance without the need of my wallet.dat ? A nice gui program would work ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) No. It's not possible to see a balance without wallet.dat (or equivalent, for other clients). Thanks Luke. It was bitminer, I removed it from my failover list. Odd, I have BitMinter as my failover and it works just fine for me ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Luke, is bfgminer throttling work based on BFL device temperature?
I'm seeing 85-86C on one BFL device and was wondering if bfgminer has a logic to throttle work, sort of like GPU temp control. The --temp-* options work fine for FPGAs/ASICs (with temperature support).

I've tried "temp-cutoff" : "86", "temp-target" : "79", "temp-overheat" : "82", "temp-hysteresis" : "3", but when the temperature reached 86 C on one BFL device, that device was not disabled. Do I have to setup any other "auto" parameters for temp-cutoff to work?

Do I have to setup any other "auto" parameters for temp-cutoff to work? Shouldn't.. I'll make a note to test it.

Hi Luke-Jr I've just migrated to BFGMiner 3.1.4 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Previously I was mining on GUIminer. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) With one GPU miner on GUI my hash rate was 500 Mh/s With 2 miners I had a combined hash of 550 Mh/s Currently BFGMiner is giving me 520 Mh/s Can BFGMiner run 2 miners in one process?

As a temporary workaround (but let's keep trying to get it fixed!), you can use --no-unicode
