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

[OleOle]

Quick question please, can the new DualMiner scrypt and sha-256 usb asic miner be used with BFGMiner 3.10.0?

I'd prefer to wait until BFG can mine with them rather than mess around with other miners.

Thanks.

Not yet, though we plan to support them soon.

Ok, great, thanks for the very quick response, very much appreciated!

i will install the bfgminer on raspberry. But its dont work.

What i do:

Code:

cd /home/pi/
wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/3.10.x/bfgminer-3.10.0.zip
unzip bfgminer-3.10.0.zip
cd bfgminer-3.10.0
sudo ./configure && sudo make

But now i become bfgminer version 3.2.90 with no support on antminers

No idea what you're doing wrong here, but you need to get 3.10.0 as you suspect.

Hi...

Now that I have most things running as desired, I'm circling back and trying to clean up a few things.  One of those is to address:

[2014-02-08 12:30:39] temp-cutoff is deprecated! Use --set-device for better control

What are the appropriate --set-device parameters for GPU temp control?

Was there a BFGminer 3.2.90?     .......... or is it CGminer 3.2.90?

and why are you using:-

/home/pi/bfgminer-3.10.0# bfgminer -c /home/pi/cgminer.conf -–set-device antminer:clock=x0981
 [2014-02-08 12:35:55] bfgminer: -–set-device: unrecognized option

cgminer.conf ......... must cause a problem when runing BFGminer

As far as i know about linux (which isn't much) it doesn't support ZIP files.  Generally it's a .tar file or something like that, but this is what I used from BTCGuild's linux setup page for my Pi.  Works like a champ, so additional installation of anything required, just plug and play...
If a command fails, it may require root/sudo

1: Open Terminal or SSH into your Linux machine.

2: Run "apt-get update"

3: Run "apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev"

4: Run "git clone git://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git"

5: Enter the bfgminer directory

6: Run "./autogen.sh"

7: Run "./configure" (if you do not want to use GPUs on the machine, add --disable-opencl)

8: Run "make"

9: After make completes, you can run bfgminer directly (may require sudo), or create a shell script that includes your arguments.

Should be the other way around... They should all be BEE and work.

HA!

Code:

-S icarus:all

Now all my Block Erupters are hashing. Sadly, with a ~15% HW error rate. But that's better than 7 to 9 of them not even submitting. And the BFL is also hashing away.

[Luke-Jr]

Unless you got one of the very few Block Erupter Emerald sample devices (never sold), you shouldn't be seeing BEE... just BES.

All of the Erupters were the ones sold by BTC Guild.

BFGminer sees them as just about everyone ASIC out there.

I've seen them detected as: ICA, BEE, BES, ECM, and even AMU a few times. And it's never all of them, usually 1 to 4 for each with no more than 4 ASIC 'types' at a time.

Probably an issue with the Linux USB driver, that confuses BFGminer as to what's actually attached.

I've never had a problem, though mine are all properly branded (and don't require the -S options)

There's still a small bug there. I had fixed this doing the driver for the AntMiner S1 but looks like it got lost somewhere in the changes:

[jedimstr]

Hmmm... I have 44 Block Erupters, most of them from BTC Guild and some from eBay a long time ago.  They all detect as BEE on my RaspPi with BFGMiner 3.10.0 on Minepeon and -S erupter:all.

[uberdag]

I have a cube coming and was going to use bfgminer as the proxy but cant seem to get it going on xubuntu 13.10

phillip@minerhex:/$ sudo bfgminer --http-port 8330
 [2014-02-08 22:19:00] bfgminer: --http-port: unrecognized option

looking at command line list i dont even see http-port on there but thats what it said to do in a few other threads i found.

thanks

[jedimstr]

Ok, the latest commit/git pull now lets BFGMiner detect my 44 erupters as BES now.  Assuming it's just an identification change and no other substantive changes (timing, etc)?

[nwoolls]

It's just cosmetic.

Wondering if you can help.

I have five Antminer U1 and two Block Erupter USB. For some reason, the effective average on two of the Antminer is low:

Also, I think I have some erroneous info in my config file:

Change "icarus:all"    to    "erupter:all"

       "submit-stale" : true,     to     "submit-stale" : false,

[dbcmaster]

Change "icarus:all"    to    "erupter:all"

       "submit-stale" : true,     to     "submit-stale" : false,

Done.

[Mudbankkeith]

Change "icarus:all"    to    "erupter:all"

       "submit-stale" : true,     to     "submit-stale" : false,

Done.

also check your psu on your hub, its one of the reasons for strange speed reporting.
