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

[receptr]

Hi, i have compiled BFGMINER from the git, ad work fine, but now i need to delete all unnecessary file to run the program, because my linux work in ram on 128mb board. What files are needed to bfgminer for working?

Thanks in advance W_M

Well seeing you cloned it from git...

You can delete the .git and .deps folders and save ~42MB.

Run this in the directory of bfgminer.

Code:

sudo rm -f -r .git .deps

You also can remove any driver files that you will not be using. Also any read me/information files. Also source files.

Hope this helped.

I have just put BFGMiner 4.2.0 on my MinePeon setup.  Did you need to do any special compiling to have it detect your R-Box?

Were you able to get it working with minepeon? I've had no such luck as yet, but I didn't try particularly hard...

Hi, thanks receptr, many files are gone  . Next step is to disable SHA256d support because I need only Scrypt, I try to compile with

Code:

./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --disable-other-drivers --enable-scrypt --disable-SHA256d

but SHA256d wasn't disabled.

Thanks W_M

hi

which option is ok

-S rockminer:all --icarus-options 115200:1:1

or

-S rockminer:all --set rockminer:clock=290

i hope i get a answer

Luke,

I'm using BFGminer to proxy a Dragon 1T miner & it seems to be working well except for the reported speed. The miner as well as the pool are reporting roughly 1TH while BFGminer is reporting 11.xx Gh. Kinda like the decimal is
two places to far to the left ...

I don't have a Rockminer but I believe the "Icarus" timings are only used for "Block Erupters" chips any longer. I would try the second line.

I've heard Dragon miners are broken and require you to set the share difficulty on the device itself.
For BFGMiner's stratum proxy, the correct value is pdiff 1.

Thanks for the quick reply!! The lowest diff I can set on the page is 4 which means I'll have to ssh and try to set it manually.

I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

If you can compile, there's a hack on https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/pull/456 you could merge to make it diff 16.

Hello,

sometimes I get a status of "dead" or "sick" of my Rock Miner in bfgminer 4.2.0. Any idea what is the reason?

Greetings Marc

hi team !~ how do you turn off full screen mode? LOL  TIA!!!

[ManeBjorn]

Yes I have it working but not perfectly.
It will detect all 4 R-Boxes and mine for several hours before dropping down to one or two active miners.
I have new hub to try later tonight to see if that fixes it.
While they are running they work great on MinePeon.

[svkochjar]

I compiled on minepeon basic commands, ./configure then automake. Running several days non-stop just fine on Minepeon.

How many R-Boxes??

Any ideas about what I'm missing here. I'm Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit and built a fork for Gridseeds without a problem but this one https://github.com/Darkwinde/bfgminer is giving me these errors.

thanks much!

======================================
Fix to the problem above
======================================

• deleted the entire bfgminer folder
• re-cloned the fork using Git - very important - if you don't use Git it will not get the submodules
• followed the steps below

git clone https://github.com/Darkwinde/bfgminer.git
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
chmod +x ./configure
./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-scrypt
make
run ./bfgminer --version

- Now to make it system wide
sudo make install
- To avoid "error while loading shared libraries:"
ldconfig

Is it possible to use BFGminer to simultaneously mine with 5-chip gridseeds and videocards to a local wallet on the same machine.  Videocards and Gridseeds are plugged into the same Machine the wallet is running on.

Do you have multiple pools configured in fallback mode?

If so, bfgminer doesn't handle that well.

I have the same issue and it is frustrating.   I use ghash.io as my primary and btcguild as my secondary.  bfgminer survives one, maybe two failovers before it whacks your rock miner.

[ManeBjorn]

Yes, use MultiMiner.  It uses BFGMiner as a back end and is a great GUI.

@ManeBjorn

Just running one now but I plan on getting more. I would think if it runs one very well and not using a powered usb hub more on a powered hub should run just as good. I recommend using a 2.0 D-Link DUB-H7 powered usb hub. 3.0 has given some people issues depending on the miner and Rasberry Pi might not be 3.0 friendly from what I read.
