The one I pulled less than 2 hours ago? Is there a way for me to ID what I pulled?
All the files are timestamped 2/9/2014 around 23:07 - but I'm GMT -6 (US Central).
I apologize for not really understanding git beyond how to fetch things.
Oh... I have no idea if this is significant, but miner #1, which is working as expected, has an Intel CPU. Miners #2 and #3 that are being quirky are AMD. Beyond that, they are pretty similar setups.

Hi, first of all: good job! very nice program! I'm using v3.9
first question: as it is said in the README.ASIC.txt, just start proxy with: bfgminer --http-port 8330. Then configure your blade to connect [...] with a unique username per blade.
but if I do, it first asks for an url - ok. then it asks for a username - why? Want to configure it at the blades configpanel. I cant start bfgminer without setting logindata. "No login credentials supplied forl pool 0..." Where is the trick?
and the second question: if I try to mine eg UNO and the diff is falling under a special value (cant say it exactly, but think its not so important), the miner cant handle the work. I got alot of stale and a very low Hashrate. Its a 10GHs miner it will be under 2 at the lowest. Can anybody tell me why? I tried to fix the diff by setting "--request-diff 32" but I think its the pools choice to overwrite that.
thanks and greets! KriZa

I just removed the two block erupter usb sticks and now the antminers are working as expected.
This is the power supply: Input 100-240v. 50-60Hz. Output 5V -- 2500MA. Model: SAW-0502500
Looks like not enough power. That's only 12.5 Watt output. Or 2.5 amps @12v (2500ma). barely run 5 ants with that. ants are .06a and higher if clocked. Do not be tempted by USB 3.0 hubs, some work most do not. All present USB miners like/use USB 1.1/2.0 spec. Watts spec is misleading use AMPS. See here for hubs:- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.msg2700634#msg2700634USB1.1 is low on data transfer speeds for higher performing Asics. The USB3 hubs that are ok for mining, work better if connected to your USB2 sockets. rPi do not like USB3.

I hate Windows, Windows hates me - its an equitable relationship...
I just spent 3 hours this morning screwing around of my wife Windows 7 machine trying to get bfgminer 64-bit to work.
I've tried the 13.9 catalyst drivers, the 13.12 ones, and the 14 beta ones. All are having the same problem. I actually don't think this is directly bfgminer's issue, but rather some driver, lack therefore, or other corruptions on her machine.
BFGminer will start, but not find the Radeon 5770 GPU. If I do M-->+-->Auto it finds it, but generates the following error:
[2014-02-10 12:17:36] Failed to open Device Parameters registry key in lowl-vcom.c _vcom_devinfo_scan_windows__hubport( ):440: The system cannot find the file specified.
The card will then appear to work, but the system never accepts any work. Over hours, I will see a few rejects.
Startup command is normal, identical to what I use on my nice logical Linux machines:
bfgminer -S opencl:auto --intensity 20 --temp-overheat 80 --temp-cutoff 100 --temp-target 80 --scrypt --gpu-fan 100 --auto-gpu -o ...
Help please. What have I done wrong?
ps. I want to hunt down and punish the AMD folks responsible for their Raptr code - it is not optional, and pesters you to death to install it. Of course, I refuse, cursing it each time.

So you're scrypt mining. Depending on the hash rate and difficulty settings, it may take hours to find a share. Also, with Intensity 20, it may be breaking the GPU. Try a lower intensity and move up from there...

Doing Pooled mining Bradley. We are finding blocks every many many times a day and I see my other miners accepting shares within seconds. But appreciate the thought. Fixated on the error message right now.

Try the 32-bit bfgminer to rule that out. I don't use the 64-bit binary (doesn't support HTTP proxy).

Hi guys, I'm gonna try to steal 5 minutes of your time I just updated my ubuntu host running 11 block erupters. BFGMiner updated to 3.10.0 and now none of the erupters are showing up. My configuration file only contains pool conf, and bfgminer runs with the -S erupter:all switch. I already tried adding devices manually (M+), one at time and all at once, but no luck. Am I doomed? Check that you're in the "video" UNIX group.

Can you post your (original checkout)'s .git/logs/HEAD file so we can figure out what the last version that worked for you was?

[/quote] This feels like something on my end. I've mentioned that my 3 systems are somewhat similar, so I just grabbed the binary off of miner 1, which works as expected, and tried it on miner 2 and 3. Works on miner 1, only displays the temp on CL 0 on miners 2 & 3... Excuse me while I go wash my hands... I'm feeling pretty dirty right now (sharing binaries across Linux boxes and all). Be back in a few hours.

Good news, bad news. I cranked up GUIMiner and it is having the same issue of not accepting work. At least bfgminer is giving us a hint with that error message. Alas, I'm clueless what it means, other than my wifes machine is borked. Down to running (3) different anti-virus programs on her machine now.

It has previously run in another mobo before being added to this machine as a replacement for an even old Nvidia card. I have completely removed (per "uninstall all AMD product") the drivers and reinstalled. Would physically removing it be any different? The card works for normal graphics - its the only video card in the box.

Hoping someone can help. I'm quite new to mining (and definitely new to ASIC mining). I've just purchased an ASIC USB Block Erupter (apparently overclocked to 433 MH/s according to the seller). I'm using Windows 7 x86. I followed some instructions that said download and install the CP210x_VCP_Windows drivers (which I did). I then plugged in my ASIC into the side of my Windows 7 notebook (I think it's a USB 1 port as it's an older Celeron Dual Core HP laptop). Windows said the driver was installed successfully. Devices & Printers showed the dive sitting on COM12. http://i58.tinypic.com/necl7m.pngI then downloaded and ran bfgminer 3.2.1 win32. Here's a screenshot: http://i60.tinypic.com/a4c208.pngI don't understand how to read the screen. 1 | 309.0/348.2/31.00Mh/s | A:1 R:0+0(none) HW:50/ 98% I'm presuming this means "the first ASIC is processing at 31.00 MH/s" ?? I'll have to read up on what the 309.0 and 348.2 mean. I don't get what ICA 0: and MMQ 0: are about. Is a 'dead' MMQ the casue of my issue? Naturally I'm trying to figure out why BFGminer says this ASIC is only processing at 31 MH/s (instead of the claimed overclocked 433 MH/s, or even just the rated 333 MH/s). Any help greatly appreciated. Amendment: Sorry, when BFGminer was 1st started, it reported something like 700MH/s, which very quickly reduced to 245, then after around 1 to 2 minutes it was down around 31, and now as I look at my screen it's around 17 MH/s after running for some 5 minutes. The ASIC USB device remains dark and only flickers green every 60 secs or so.
