BFGMiner 5.5.0: CPU/GPU/FPGA/ASIC mining software, GBT+Stratum, RPC, Linux/Win64

[Will F]

I have a copy of the only Ztex BTCMiner git repo (incl FPGA bitstream source) here: https://github.com/luke-jr/ZtexBTCMiner

Do you have a source code for Sha256 / scrypt that I can use to program my FPGA?

I just linked it...

Also, is there a way to tell bfgminer to find a device connected via serial connections between the FPGA and raspberry pi?

BFGMiner is open source, so you can do anything.

Thanks, Sorry to be a pain, but I am new to FPGA programing. Is the file I need to fun on my FPGA https://github.com/luke-jr/ZtexBTCMiner/blob/master/fpga/sha256_pipes2.v ? Or is it this? https://github.com/luke-jr/ZtexBTCMiner/blob/master/btcminer.h . Thanks again for all your help so far. I get a little bit closer each time.

Cheers

Does the S9 say anything?

Says Alive on the first line with the stratum URL but  (I'm not sure if I ever saw the http line be alive - I thought http was for solo and stratum for pools..)  I can rerun it and get more info if it helps..

So.. should I give up mining solo with an S9?

It's been over a week banging my head - Linux and Windows, and different machines...

Any advice would be helpful..

Thanks!

Since Ubuntu's native packages tend to lag behind, I've re-created the BFGMiner PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~luke-jr/+archive/ubuntu/bfgminer

You can use this to get the latest version on Ubuntu.

Seems NWools has rejoined the community, any chance you might get with him to help with GekkoScience driver files for BFGMiner? Maybe?

I finally got my stratum proxy with BFGMiner 5.4.2 working but it shows incorrect hash rate. It shows 22 Gh/s while my miner shows a total of ~100 Gh/s. Is that just an incorrect hash rate display? or I might be missing some configuration.

You have Trojans in your Zip files dude FIX THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, your "anti-virus software" is really malware and lying to you.

Thank you very much!!

Accidentally I postet this at the wrong board. So I'll repeat it here:

In order for cgminer to recognize my USB Miner, I have to give, among other things, the following command:

Code:

sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

What must the corresponding command for the bfgminer look like?

You will want to delete that file (

Code:

sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/01-cgminer.rules

) and copy the bfgminer equivalent.

Code:

sudo cp 70-bfgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Note that you don't need to do this if you install BFGMiner from a package.

Thank you for your response. I installed bfgminer from package. I deleted /etc/udev/rules.d/01-cgminer.rules, but nothing changed. cgminer recognizese the miners, but bfgminer doesn't. Any further suggestions?

I have Windows 10 x64 (4gb ram)
old bfgminer 5.4.2 worked x32 and worked x64
but new bfgminer 5.5.0 - work only x32 version. If run x64 version, then after 10 second program close and generally nothing written in the console!

I see these issues too

Did you reboot after changing the files?

[thierry4wd]

Dear all ! this programme work for X11 asics solo mining? i tried but not working but i have bad settings ?

Thanks

[DrakonX]

Did you reboot after changing the files?

I did. Nothing changed. Since bfgminer is installed via apt-get, I don't know where to finde the "70-bfgminer.rules" file. I found one file with that name (via "find") here:

Code:

/lib/udev/rules.d/70-bfgminer.rules

But it doesn't seem to be really there. At least I don't see it when I'm inside the directory.

Where the hell is the mistake?!

Hi guys,

I don't even know if it is right to post my question here but here it goes:

I got 5 of Xilinx Inc. XC5VLX110T-1FF1136I FPGA. Specification are in page 2 of this document :
https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds100.pdf

Is it possible to mine with them at some reasonable feasibility? Like can they deliver even half of a AntMiner S9? Couldn't find any comparable Hashrates since no one is mining with FPGA's anymore. Electricity costs are not an issue and these FPGA's are going to get in rust if we don't use them anyway. Any directions and leads are welcome. Since BFGMiner is compatible with FPGA's thats the reason I'm asking you here.

Thanks for listening. Noob guy dismissed.

You'd need to at the very least compile a bitstream for it and adapt the code to talk to it somehow.
