OLD: BFGMiner 4.10.0: GBT+Stratum, RPC, Mac/Linux/Win64, Spondoolies SP30

[Luke-Jr]

POLA breakage. New update also breaks things like MultiMiner as it can't deal with adding #flags to the stratum URI (nor does the coinbase checks actually turn off with "/#xnsub" appended).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment

The release notes do say "#skipcbcheck", not "#xnsub"...

The astonishment in this case is that you're being asked to work on invalid blocks...

What's broken in MultiMiner? Not having any issues here. If you are running into anything please post details at http://issues.multiminerapp.com

Edit: nevermind - I see what you mean. I'll think of a way to allow for custom URIs in an update.

Is there a way to get BFGminer to not recognize or try to use my video card while mining?

Thanks.

add this to the command used to launch bfgminer

Code:

-S opencl:noauto

 -S noauto

Tried both of those and BFG just opens and closes immediately. Here is my current bat:

C:\Users\Main\Desktop\bfgminer-4.7.0\bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=830 -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 -u X -p x --no-submit-stale

paste this into notepad. Save as.. mine.bat

this will run bfgminer with the flags we mentioned and then pause for keyboard input, letting you see why it doesn't start up (like it should)

pause

You are the man!

I wasn't putting the -S in front of gridseed also, so it was -S noauto gridseed:all

Does anyone have one of the new Rockminer RBoxes up and running with BFG?  I'm wondering if they use the same UART drivers?

Hi there - can you please try this build of MultiMiner?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q3mt32py198mvtf/MultiMiner-3.4.5.zip

Please let me know if the issue remains afterward. Nothing new in the UI, just add the tags / anchors to the pool host.

Trying to run New R-Box 100 GH/s on BFG Miner 4.8.0 win 32.........it will detect device with .... rockminer:all    but I get message RKM0   chip  id:11 out of range.     any guesses?

The original Rboxes do that too.   Does it happen every 5 minutes or so?  Is the Chip ID number always the same or does it change to different numbers?

They do? I've never seen it...

[hurricandave]

Always the same, just gives the message in [M]anage devices. Once you hit[enter] and return to the main page it looks like it is running at half speed. When I quit with [W]ork details enabled it lists RKM0 then RKM0a thru RKM0j. makes me wonder if it stops looking for the rest of the chips?

[Burning]

Mine has done it intermittently along with "RKM 0c: No task request? Probably lost, resending task 1."

I posted about it a while back(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=626361.msg8284052#msg8284052), but I'm not sure if I mentioned the Chip ID part.  It seemed to happen more on 4.6.0.  I will try to get a screen for you.

Hey Luke,

Have you made any progress with the S1 drivers?  There are a few guys trying to get an S1 blade to work with BFGMiner or CGMiner; in the later pages they are either seeing errors or all 32 chips aren't running:

No, I was waiting on docs...
It's interesting that it even begins to work with that driver at all.
Any idea what the real S1 host system is using for its USB chipset? The VID/PID doesn't come up in /usr/src/linux

Thanks for the reply...

If you go to the link I believe that are using a UART adapter. The hardware guy is going to buid a prototype to control 4 or 8 blades.

can someone post the code needed for the lxterminal im running on a rpi

[tripzero]

I've got a couple BFL monarchs and using bfgminer 4.8.  At first both monarchs worked fine.  Later, bfgminer stopped and I had to restart it.  I couldn't bring up one of the monarchs after that.  Bfgminer reports:

"[2014-09-13 09:35:54] ModMiner detect: no response to version request from /dev/ttyUSB0""

The other monarch still works fine.  I've rebooted several times and even tried downgrading bfgminer to 4.7.  No luck.  Any suggestions?  Is there a "hello world" command I can toss at the device using "screen" (screen /dev/ttyUSB 9600?) or "echo" just to see if the device is alive?
