My only guess is you built it on a vfat filesystem (why???)
, I am new to linux. I just get my pi yesterday. I use win32diskimager to write wheezy image to sd card without formating the disk.

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Have you considered including your favorite build of hidapi in you git/configure? No, I consider it a bug to embed libraries in software. The only reason I still do it with libblkmaker is that no other software is using it yet. I ask because Arch does not have a package for it yet and I prefer you build than one I can come up with (not that my builds are bad and don't work, just because you know the ins and outs of it better than I). I have never used Arch, let alone made a package for it. Perhaps whoever is maintaining the BFGMiner packages would be willing to do this. Fair enough, I would like to contend that hidapi is in the same boat (as you described) as libblkmaker though. I will defend your choice to include those libraries because they make a better bfgminer. Why one and not the other? Perhaps not many, but there are other software using hidapi.

run as root sudo bfgminer.
Gonna have some problems with your Nano Fury's on wheezy and PI.
If you don't ... let me know how you got them working.
Ok, now can run after reinstall all. And the result is same with yours.

Any luck with older version?Ok, my fault. I plug it directly to Pi. Waiting for my Dlink What should i do if i want to add different version? Let the 3.6.0 folder intact and add new folder?

No luck on older versions for me. I'm not good with git, not sure how you can move up and down in versions easily while maintaining your current version.

I've been running 3.4.0 on SuSE linux (compiled from the git source) for a few weeks now, initially using Block Erupters, but last week I got a Red Fury, which works fine, aside from having LOTs of hardware errors (59% or so).
Just compiled 3.6.0 from source, get a segmentation fault when I try to run it - any ideas, given that 3.4.0 compiles and runs without issue?
Also, anyone got a link to a clear howto on getting a previous version from git? I've done a fair bit of looking and found nothing that works, or that is helpful. Downloading the zip/tar.gz of the source of 3.5.2 doesn't work as it won't compile from the files that github gives you; I've only had luck by cloning the repo which gives you only the current version, which obviously isn't any good to me... I know there are good reasons for using git but it doesn't seem at all friendly to anyone who wants to download and compile a specific version.

I've been using bfgminer for quite a while now and I love it. One thing I've never been able to find is a current interface guide. I understand most of the 3.6 interface, but could someone break down this line for me?

I can't see how you can specify a previous version from that; running checkout only gives me M libblkmaker. As I say, I can see how git is clearly useful for someone who is well versed in it and for version management on a project you are contributing to, but it's as clear as mud how I can get the source for 3.5.2 from it; to me, anyway, so I must be stupid.

Should be something along the lines of: git checkout bfgminer-3.5.x Do this in the directory you have bfgminer cloned. This will switch the local workspace to that branch. You can also jump to a specific Tag (version). Instructions here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/791959/how-to-use-git-to-download-a-particular-tag

I am using the version 3.4.0 BFGMiner that is distributed as part of Bertmod 0.3 on my KnCMiner Saturn. I added the lines: "coinbase-addr": <my payout address>, "coinbase-sig": <My block sig>
to the end of the config file, because I wanted to solo mine on my local bitcoin-qt. It doesn't generate any errors, but the hashrate goes down from ~285 GH/s to more like 10 GH/s If I remove the above two lines, it goes back to normal. Anybody have any idea what is going wrong here?

GBT is entirely unoptimised right now, so there's a possibility of improving it. In theory, I should be able to reduce its CPU load to approximately the same as stratum's. Just need to find the time...

I like the idea of GBT in general- it enforces some honesty on pool operators (not that any of them are dishonest, to my knowledge ), and it is currently the ONLY real way to solo mine with ASIC h/w without all the complexity of installing and configuring stratum pool software - but it does seem to be pretty heavy-weight at the moment. I notice that even Eligius will auto-switch you to stratum if you try to use GBT, unless you explicitly disable stratum. I hope you find some time to look into it soon.

I like the idea of GBT in general- it enforces some honesty on pool operators (not that any of them are dishonest, to my knowledge ) Even if you assume the pool operator is perfectly honest, blind pooling makes the servers an excellent target for someone to break into... If you can double-spend enough, it might even be profitable to organise a hold-up of all the big pool operators and force them to let you access the servers so you can do a 10-deep reorg or so. Fully implemented GBT will make this kind of attack impractical, thus giving pool operators more personal security too.
