Why is my bfgminer closing immediately after I open it? I have been using it for months and didn't have this problem...
Same problem here.. BFL gear working fine with version 3.6.0 bfgminer, as soon as I upgraded to 3.8.0 the program opens then immediately closes and doesn't run. Same OS and environment, Win 7. hope there is a fix in the newer version. I've got BFL, BlueFury, Block Erupter all working together on windows 7 no problems. Even got 2 Blades on it too, all running off a Celeron NUC. 3.8.0 works as well as 3.6.0 and 3.7.0 did. I'm running the Win32 version on 7 Ultimate x64.

I am running bfgminer-3.8.0 under Ubuntu 13.x (current) in a VMware Fusion image. For a while, it had been working fine, until today it literally causes the Mac to crash and reboot. I looked in the logs and didn't see anything that stood out, but I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this annoying problem.
OSX 10.9 Mavericks is the version of the OS.
Thanks.

Why run in the Ubuntu VM instead of running the Mac compiled versions directly? Both precompiled binaries and Homebrew formula are available.

Because I can't get the native OSX version to work. It crashes "Bus error 10" -- I've re-installed with a fresh Homebrew, etc. No luck. I have a small netbook I will move bfgminer to (under Ubuntu) and see if that solves the issue. It could be I have a general hardware problem on the Mac Pro, which is causing this. Would be neat if these little ASIC boxen could be networked so you could connect a remote miner to them.

I'm using 3.8.1 and I get work but bfgminer is reporting in Gh/sec and Mh/sec when I mine scrypt (unless I'm reading wrong; probably)?
This is my command line (copied from cgminer bat modified for bfgminer):
bfgminer.exe --scan opencl:auto --scrypt -E 15 -Q 0 -o stratum+tcp://ctompo.dyndns.org:3332 -u xxxxxxx -p xxxxxx -s 5 --gpu-fan 83-100 --temp-hysteresis 1 --temp-overheat 80 --temp-cutoff 85 --temp-target 70 --intensity 19 --thread-concurrency 24576 --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 256 --auto-fan --no-submit-stale
When I go to manage devices its reporting correctly in Kh/sec.
Tho the top reports this: OCL 0: 78.0C | 0.00/ 0.00/ 1.76Gh/s | A:327 R:66+55(none) HW:0/none
Whats it reporting in Gh/sec? How do I get it to display my gpu's hash rate?
edit: read the readme for gpus, still reporting in Gh/sec I have a 7950 and it maxes out at 580-600kh/sec with cgminer. edit 2: Got it reporting in Kh/sec via the stable release: v3.2.8
If anyone can help, thank you.

you need to add in the --scrypt tag.

Message me if you have any problems

I have that specified.
Its reporting correctly with the stable release but not with the latest release. Is this due to cgminer dropping gpu support after 3.7.2? Or something else?
I've also tried v3.5.0 with the same command line as the stable release and it reports in Gh/sec. So only the stable release of v3.2.8 reports correctly for me.
Am I missing something for the latest version?
My command line is:
bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://ctompo.dyndns.org:3332 -u pengo.0 -p x -I 20 --auto-fan --temp-overheat 80 --temp-cutoff 85 --temp-target 70
tldr: Reports correctly in kH/sec in v3.2.8, newer versions tested v3.5.0 and latest release it reports in gH/sec (same cmd line)..
Thanks for your help if you can assist.

I don't really care about scrypt. If you (or anyone else) can bisect it, debug it, or provide a patch, I'll look into it... If you use Windows, you can easily bisect by starting a new session on http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/webisect/webisect.php

Hi,
I can not compile bfgminer for nanoFury, I've installed hidapi with make install and configure bfgminer with: ./configure --disable-avalon --disable-bigpic --disable-bitforce --disable-icarus --disable-klondike --disable-modminer --disable-x6500 --disable-ztex
Bfgminer runs but the nano is not detected !!!
I'm new to bfgminer so maybe missing something, any help is appreciated.
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 x64
P.S. === The goal is this instance of bfgminer to detect only nanofuryes, if there is other way to accomplish this through the apt will be great.

Try this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.msg3879613#msg3879613Might point you in the right direction.

I'm a linux noob. I'm running Ubuntu Server 13.10. Could someone list exactly what I need to do to get the hidapi stuff installed and built in to bfgminer? I do have bfgminer installed and working, but adding the hidapi has me baffled. I did the git clone part, and have hidapi cloned, but I'm stuck with what to do now. Thanks.
