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

[Buchi-88]

@ toptek

THX i will test it at the evening

For only Bitfury USB Sticks i don't need this?

sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-scrypt --enable-broad-udevrules

[Luke-Jr]

Note: -O3 is known to break some software, so please use -O2 if you want BFGMiner to be reliable.

Hi,

is it possible to use bfgminer as a stratum -> getwork proxy ?

I like to use rented hashpower to mine on my local wallet. Nicehash only supports stratum targets.

I tried different combinations and I know it can used as getwork -> stratum proxy and stratum -> stratum as well as getwork-> getwork.

Did I make a error in the configuration ?

bfgminer -o 127.0.0.1:8888 -u user -p pass --stratum-port=3333 don't work

regards

Hello, i have a a Debian System on my Pi:

Linux sunwatch 4.1.10+ #820 PREEMPT Sun Oct 4 15:33:59 BST 2015 armv6l

But i can't install the Bfgminer on my system?

root@sunwatch:~# aptitude install bfgminer

Anyone have an idea?

how are you complliing  BFG ? .

try this

cd /opt
sudo apt-get -y install git-core build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncursesw5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libevent-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libc-bin
sudo wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.3.0/bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo unzip bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo rm -rf bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo mv /opt/bfgminer-5.3.0 /opt/bfgminer

cd /opt/bfgminer
 
sudo chmod +x ./configure  
sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O2" --enable-scrypt --enable-broad-udevrules

sudo make

sudo ldconfig
lsusb

./bfgminer --version

and when you need to use BFG each time you may need to Cd to it then use it something like this .

cd /opt/bfgminer

sudo ./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://your pool  -u your btc address -p your password if the pool needs one and your miners setting here

you can set the PI to cd to whatever  for you at login i just haven't bro to learn how yet, I will once i get tried of typing  CD / whatever at login ( most of the time if it works i won't learn much more beyond that unless it starts annoying me to much then i will ) . I'll automate my login more.


all his mean is it's all updated

It is impossible to translate getwork to stratum like that, but it doesn't matter because Core doesn't even support getwork anymore.
You can do GBT to stratum with the --stratum-port 3333 option, but no = in arguments...

you have to CD into the BFG folder after it unziped and do it from there


you did do


sudo apt-get -y install git-core build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncursesw5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libevent-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libc-bin


it right there in red



just boot the PI up do at the default see what that does it is a PI and you are doing with http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html in SSH


it might the folder you Cd to not sure .

Sorry but it's the same after this commands:

cd /usr/src
sudo wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.3.0/bfgminer-5.3.0.zip

skip that and try

cd /usr/src
sudo wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.3.0/bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo unzip bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo rm -rf bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo mv /usr/src/bfgminer-5.3.0 /usr/src/bfgminer


cd /usr/src/bfgminer


sudo chmod +x ./configure  
sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O2" --enable-broad-udevrules
sudo make

sudo ldconfig
lsusb

./bfgminer --version

 and try it all without the Sudo line . one of two of those OSes don't need it . it may ask for your password thu

I had that issue once i just dumped the OS and went with one i knew i had working on PI's and cubieboards


BERRYBOOT

 this is very nice http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot  

but you need to make sure you get the one that works with your baord or it won't

i think i read some place about the squeeze Release having issue to some extent might be wrong .

Sorry but without the "libjansson-dev" e bfgminer don't compile to the end??

Anyone have the "libjansson-dev.deb" then i can install it manuelly...

[Buchi-88]

if your not willing to reinstall the OS to another one  that works solid on PI  there may not be a manual install for it,I'm all most sure it some thing in the squeeze Release your using wrong path or corp files etc , I'll even bet it's on that PI it just can't find it due to a bad path bad update etc or some thing is blocking it.


looks like it was replaced

http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/



with

http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/  


Wheezy is one of the official PI releases that work in fact i use https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/  on one PI .



https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/   try those and get back to us please, were getting off topic.


cya and gl

THX for your help, i found a way to install the bfgminer successful

I load this packages manuelly:

- libjansson4_2.7-3_armel.deb
- uthash-dev_1.9.5-1_all.deb

then i install the packeges with "dpkg -i"

so yet i can install the bfgminer with this commands:

cd /usr/src
sudo wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.3.0/bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo unzip bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo rm -rf bfgminer-5.3.0.zip
sudo mv /usr/src/bfgminer-5.3.0 /usr/src/bfgminer


cd /usr/src/bfgminer


sudo chmod +x ./configure  
sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O2" --enable-broad-udevrules
sudo make

Then i start to test with:

./bfgminer --config /home/pi/bfgminer.conf --quiet

So the bfgminer starts YEAH

But i have a mistake in my bfgconfig, at cgminer the Pool config (QUOTA)are OK?? I use only 4 Bi*Fury and 7 RedFury USB miner...

This Pool,

 "quota" : "9;stratum+tcp://miner-control.de:3330",
        "user" : "xxx",
        "pass" : "egalo"

is a "Altcoin" (eMark) Pool?

{
"pools" : [
    {
        "quota" : "0;stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333",
        "user" : "xxxi",

[toptek]

sorry not really sure what you want to know but here is link to that coin

  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=310939.0


I see the 4 Bi*Fury and 7 RedFury USB mine on the BFG Command line GUI.  they are all loaded it looks like  ?


and

"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.0/24"  i know you can use it your way but i all way use it like this,but I'm not to sure how that would work in your case never used either of those miner.

but really don't know whats wrong  ?  it all looks good now ? .

 I'll bet you can tweak out some of those Hardware error  by speed adjustments but there i might be wrong never used either of those miner so don't really know the command line other then do what you did and do auto load .

Yes i only mine with this 7 USB miners for tests... i don't use a API i only look over "putty".

But i have a problem with the config:

Is this right for the 11 miners in the bfgminer.conf:

"scan" : ["bigpic:all"]
"scan" : ["bifury:all"]

or

"scan" : ["BPM:all"]
"scan" : ["BIF:all"]

??

And the pool with the Quota have problems??

0: Enabled  Strtm Quota 1 Pool 0: stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333  Userxxx
1: Misbehav Strtm Quota 9 Pool 2: stratum+tcp://miner-control.de:3330  User:xxx
2: Enabled  Strtm Quota 1 Pool 1: stratum+tcp://miner-control.de:3335  User:xxx

When i will enable the (eMark/altcoin) Pool 1,

 [2015-10-10 15:10:17] Coinbase check: multiple inputs in coinbase: 0x4b
 [2015-10-10 15:10:17] Pool 1 misbehaving (coinbase check), disabling!

??

So i have change the config:

{
"pools" : [
    {
        "quota" : "1;stratum+tcp://miner-control.de:3335",
        "user" : "xxx",
        "pass" : "egalo"
    },
    {
        "quota" : "9;stratum+tcp://miner-control.de:3330",
        "user" : "xxx",
        "pass" : "egalo"
    },
    {
        "quota" : "0;stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333",
        "user" : "xxx",
        "pass" : "egalo"
    }
]
,
"load-balance" : true,
"api-listen" : true,
"api-allow" : "W:0/0",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "2",
"scan-time" : "60",
"worktime" : true,
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"usb" : ":11",
"scan" : ["bigpic:all"],
"scan" : ["bifury:all"]
}

[Buchi-88]

That normal now it stop lag and other issue by disabling like that . what that does is do a coin check with coinbase that was causing issue at times to a lot of miner if I remember right .



what makes BFG so good over all the others is it leaves in a lot of old stuff that might be use full at another time but disables it as needed .



+--coinbase-check-addr <arg> A list of address to check against in coinbase payout list received from the previous-defined pool, separated by ','
+--coinbase-check-total <arg> The least total payout amount expected in coinbase received from the previous-defined pool
+--coinbase-check-percent <arg> The least benefit percentage expected for the sum of addr(s) listed in --cbaddr argument for previous-defined pool

So a new test, for the "alcoin" pool "eMark"

http://miner-control.de:8000/workers

I can't add the sha256 "eMark" pool always come this massage?

 [2015-10-10 15:26:08] Coinbase check: multiple inputs in coinbase: 0x10
 [2015-10-10 15:26:08] Pool 3 misbehaving (coinbase check), disabling!

Can i disabling the "Coinbase check" per config file?

[toptek]

I would use  /#xnsub  in your case like below and the command line to disable the coin base check is /#skipcbcheck per pool . not sure how that works in a BFG.config  like you im still learning and loving it .

but per pool like this

9;stratum+tcp://miner-control.de:3330/#xnsub#skipcbcheck (mind the slash '/' before #xnsub) -u NTYNy7JWo1LyK9Z51ZxdcpsdzEpfT5C6VV -p egalo

or in the config maybe
 {
        "quota" : "9;stratum+tcp://miner-control.de:3330/#skipcbcheck", that slash is needed.
        "user" : "NTYNy7JWo1LyK9Z51ZxdcpsdzEpfT5C6VV",
        "pass" : "egalo",
        "enableExtranonceSubscribe" : true  this >  /#xnsub in the config file ( sorry never had to add /#skipcbcheck to a config file ).
     },

"pools" : [
    {
        "quota" : "1;stratum+tcp://miner-control.de:3335",
        "user" : "13gtAPBFkrTq5QEnyd4pBKF2wDWvdKd7mw",

I'm trying to request a starting diff by using --request-diff 48, but the command doesn't seem to work.

My entire batch files is:

Code:

bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.bmoscatosticks -p x -S rockminer:all --set rockminer:clock=280 --set compac:clock=x0d82 --request-diff 48 --api-listen --api-allow W:10.0.0/24

I have never had success with the --suggest-diff command, I don't think it is implemented properly.

I don't think BFGMiner supports any such switch as '--suggest-diff'.  BFGMiner has a '--request-diff' switch, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that it does not work on ckpool specifically.

CKPool does not honour target requests.

I'm assuming that it works with CG Miner 4.9.2 which I use to run my U3's because it's written by the same people? I set the diff to lower number than the 1000 in CG Miner than the poll initially requests.

ckolivas says that BFGMiner does not set the diff correctly:

I don't claim to know which is actually correct.
