Downloaded and compiled from github this morning on ubuntu 14.04.1 32-bit. Using solely as a proxy for my ASICMiner tubes. When I try to connect, Berliner shows 100% HW errors and no work is ever done for the pool. Miner interface shows 100% rejected.
I looked on github for a related issue but nothing jumped out at me. Is it possible I screwed something up with dependencies? Any known issues that just aren't on github? Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: just realized I pulled from master. When I get home later I'll try the 4.7.0 release and see if it works.

EDIT: Regarding Linux distribution, we always use the latest. Never had problems. Are you using a normal computer or some RaspPi or Beaglebone for the Linux Setup?
Tried it on both a regular laptop and a RPi. I suspect the RPi is out of date with the drivers, but the laptop I had fully updated with ubuntu and all of the bfgminer dependencies, so I am not really sure what's up with it. Dear Morblias, I just asked people in the lab to create a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and clone the latest Bfgminer, just to be sure everything is work. The test passed successfully. For your information, the computer in test was 64bit. Thanks, Nasser

how to mine (with gpu) x11 algo? i tried: bfgminer.exe --X11 -S opencl:all -S zus:noauto -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336 -u 1AsLCvR43Yeka6Z8y1kURPQenwdyi7tfBp.1 -p x but not working..... (when i open it, it's close itself) maybe it isn't X11 the command?

BFGMiner won't have Crypto11 ("X11") support until someone steps forward to add it.

Luke, does BFG Miner support/work with the NEW R-Box 100GH/s ?

Can someone show me an example of where the #xnsub flag goes:
1) stratum+tcp://miningpool.com#xnsub:3333
or
2) stratum+tcp://miningpool.com:3333#xnsub
Many Thanks!
Jim

Here's a simple little batch (.bat) file script to run the latest version of BFG that I thought other people might like to use. Save this as BFG.bat in the root of all your different bfgminer version folders and it'll run the latest one. @echo off FOR /d %%f in (b*.*) do ( set bfgFol=%%f ) cd %bfgFol% bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u jjdacl.worker1 -p password pause Your folder structure will look like this: bfgminer-4.6.0-win64 bfgminer-4.7.0-win64 bfgminer-4.8.0-win64 BFG.batNow when a new version comes out, you can just unzip it and re-run your batch file :-) Remember to update your bfg parameters, user/pass etc as appropriate.

Hello Everyone, I have a problem with BFGminer 4.8.0 https://i.imgur.com/u9dOPGA.jpgI'm using nicehash pool which is curently working, despite the message about the dead pool it is mining as i can see on the web page, problem is that if i put any other pool as backup it automatically uses it There is also a disturping message about coibasecheck... can anyone help?

I am trying to figure out how the BFGMiner command when you have multiple devices? I have two gridseed 5-chip orbs on com ports 78 & 79, a zeus miner on com port 77, and two opencl graphics cards. No matter what I try for -S I either see the zeus, and the gridseeds as "Initializing ..." (forever), but the OCL's are turned off. Just can't figure out how to get all 5 devices to work using one batch file.
Can anyone assist here?
Jim

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

Did you use #xnsub? Thanks, this solved the issue with switching the pool but coinbasecheck persists (maby i messed up something while i compiled it...), another thing is that i'm getting decrasing hashrate on those 4.7 and 4.8 bgminer it drops to unacceptable values like 3 Mh/s while cgminer never drops below 16 mh/s. I am using zeusminer 96 chips so it should stay at around 20+ mh/s which i am able to achive but not on multicoin pools.
