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

[BCwinning]

Fired up 5.0 pointed it at a pool running peercoin and this error basically kept showing up.

Coinbase check: multiple inputs in coinbase: 0x26
It appeared it was mining ok, shares seemed to be accepted and credited. But that coinbase check wouldn't go away.
I'm curious to know what it is and why its doing it.
I wasn't mining to any coinbase address or to a wallet address. Just to normal username.worker.

Reverting back to 4.* works with no output like pasted above.
I'm guessing it's checking bitcoin related and because I'm not mining bitcoin but another sha it isn't handling it well?
only a guess

Try adding #skipcbcheck to the pool URL, e.g. stratum+tcp://stratum.whatever.com/#skipcbcheck

ok I will try that. more concerned that I was doing it right and nothing was awry than anything.

Anyone want to throw out their lowest stable underclock command line?

Hm, I tried this command, but the Monarch still goes full blast:

bfgminer.exe --set bitforce:_cmd1=F1X --set bitforce:_cmd1=V0X -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u XXX -p XXX

Also I get loads of these:

@Luke-jr: how much work would be needed to modify the lowl-ftdi code to support the ft2232h as well?

I ask before I go usb to SPI&I2C interface shopping

Not sure, but I think the ft2232h is just a dual-channel version of the ft232h, which lowl-ftdi already supports (to some extent) for the BFx2.

Correct it's basically 2 ft232h smacked together on some Si. Oh have I got s fun project ahead. 😁

Time to get my dev board and start coding my baby

All I can say is ask BFL... Probably you should make a debug log and put it on Google Drive or something to send them (feel free to open an issue on GitHub if you want me to confirm from that log everything is okay in BFG).

[rupy]

You mean you never underclocked your Monarch?

It's hardware, you can't change it after it ships.

Edit: Ok, I get it the 1.4.2 firmware has the possibility to set frequence and voltage and you built your part. But BFL has to compile the special bfgminer?

Because the 5.0.0 doesn't work at all with the Monarch. I get 500GH vs 700GH with the old special bfgminer on the BFL site.

So it's as easy as PuTTY to COM port and paste the command V0X and F1X?

IT WORKS!

- Download putty.
- Then run it and switch the radio button from SSH to serial.
- Enter the COM port that your miner is on and 9600 as Speed.

codes V0X and F1X for lowest voltage and frequency

- Press Open, then PASTE the codes (do not type) and you should see OK after each, close the window.

THX a million welsh!

WHOHOOO FUCKING SILENCE!!!! 260GH at lowest all!!!

[ComaWombat]

IT WORKS!

WHOHOOO FUCKING SILENCE!!!! 260GH at lowest all!!!

I can confirm this and it's AWESOME 



500 GH, 260 Watts, 48 C temp:

With the serial commands FDX and V3X. Increasing the voltage seems to increase hashrate too so they're linked with some kind of BFL black magic.

We're in Antminer S5 territory now with W / GH. You just need two Monarchs to get the same hashrate

Or a voltage controlled oscillator versus a pll

Akin to the Bitfury chips of yore where upping voltage upped hash at the same number of bits

Hi, this is a simple question:  does the BFGMIner 5.5.0 support Rockminer R-BOX 2 hardware?
Thanks

[mendoza1468]

Hi, im getting problem on version higher than 3.10 (BFGMINER) with my gridseeb blade.
I'Ve tried 5.0 and 4.10.1 and many other version and it doesn't work properly. My problem is there's only one board who working it said :
GSD1aa being disabled. (as picture shown under)

My bat file :

Bfgminer -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=825 -d 1 -d 0 --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u xxxx -p xxx

im using usbser (v1.3.1.0)

Can you help me to make it work on version 5.0 please? Or should i stay on the older version? I don't understand why it didn'T work

Hi, I try to mine both SHA and scrypt with gridseed 5-chip on linux machine. It is possible to use Bfgminer instead of cpuminer for scrypt mining?
When I mine only SHA or only scrypt Bfgminer works fine, but I can't mine both. With cgminer-cpuminer combo it works, but i dislike cpuminer.
Is any chance to use Bfgminer as second program?

Give this a look over, it uses BFG Miner.

Sorry, I use Ubuntu server without graphical interface and the multiminer need X.

The interface works from any terminal on the same network. You must have some type of monitor on the network to use the other software unless you are typing blind.

The server is on another network, I use ssh to manage it from distance. On server I don't have monitor nor keyboard.
Is any chance to make Bfgminer to work with --dual option like cpuminer?

FWIW MultiMiner does not need X if you download the latest dev builds linked in the MultiMiner thread. There is a TUI being developed that will be released in 4.0.
