can anyone explain why i have a coinbase address showing up on BFgminer for a pool that is not in the conf file or bat file?

Possibly a hacked version of BFgminer?

Try downloading it from the source.

Could it be the pool is using a wallet on coinbase?
Most pools collectivly mine to their wallet then pay you from their wallet...

It's a different pool being mined as well.

this is the mining program i got from page one of this thread.

Speculation...
Could be they are taking your hashrate to mine their preferred thread, but paying you out in the coin of your choice???
Perhaps they are renting your hashrate to someone else???

  If you go to bfg miner on github you can find more info.

BFGMiner automatically configures itself to failover to solomining if your specified pool(s) go down.
You'll find the coinbase address in question in your Bitcoin Core wallet.
If you really don't want this (why?), you can disable it with --no-local-bitcoin

Hi guys and thanks for your help in advance.
I have rockminer r box , gawminers fury and rasp pi b+ .
I managed to make my miners run 1 by 1 using difrent images and falowing diferent tuttorials but i would love to have them running side by side on the same pi. Is that even possible?

Dogie, are you going to start another thread for the new R-box 100 GH/s units or blend it in here?

Different. I begged them to name it something different so search engines would be able to find it but oh well.

rockminer R-Box sucks...cheap material...my last 3 weeks and stop working...
and i was using only freq 280...i think 1 of capacitors broke 
now got to think if it compensates sending to warranty...28eur shiping + 27 costums on return...
its the price of a new one

Is there a way to underclock these so they use less power while maintaining still a high hash rate?

Thats not underclocking, that's undervolting. And no - nothing that would be worth your time or money.

I have replaced my BFL 12GH/s by this R-Box at 32GH/s ... here is the setting to use it (you can update the first message with the picture if you want).

Picture are here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=885753.msg9848021#msg9848021

It's for solo mining ... replace "localhost:8332" with your pool if needed.
-u = username (on pool or RPC server)
-p = password (on pool or RPC server)

Thanks for this subject, it have guided me to choose a replacment device ...  

PS: fan has been replaced by a less noisy ... that why the temperature is not 39-42°C ... but 61°C.   no problem, and ... no noise !

Recently got two R-Box's for a good price. Both devices are detected on my macbook. However, only one is capable of mining.

The non-mining device sometimes will have the blue light continuously illuminated (as opposed to flashing, as with the functioning unit), or not at all.  I've swapped USB Cables, USB Ports, and Power Supplies, with no effect.

Thoughts? Anyway to do a factory reset on these?

I checked though the pictures and there isn't, because its a 'dumb' mining device without a controller. It receives inputs and returns values. Have you Zadig'ed? Is it detected in windows devices?

[fakeruben]

Figured that would be the case.

I don't have a windows box handy. I'd have to dig one out of storage, add a drive and reinstall windows, so I was hoping to avoid that if possible haha.

No, icarus-* isn't a recognized option at all by BFGminer and is ignored silently.  It'd be properly done via --set-device icarus:

Does anyone have a part number for a replacement fan? Mine has seized.
