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

[kilo17]

I do not want to redirect this thread but was wondering if there is a working .img file for Minepeon with Bfgminer 5.4.1?  Either Beaglebone/Rpi or both.

I am not overly familiar with Minepeon but like the interface.  I am needing it for a project we have going and really do not care for the "other" miner for a number of reasons.  

Being Catholic, an acronym like "St. Barbara's Faithfully Glorified Mining Initiative Naturally Exceeding Rivals" just calls for me to support it.  

So I am offering 0.15 BTC to the person that can make the image for me and another 0.15 BTC will be donated to the Luke-Jr addy for his hard work and great software.  

Thanks in advance...

isnt this something you can compile straight on the rpi?

Thanks for the help by PM.  I am going to make better notes on exactly what I am needing and will post at another time.  Thanks

do bfgminer support x6500 fpga VNL (blake256) mining?

[Luke-Jr]

do bfgminer support x6500 fpga VNL (blake256) mining?

X6500 is supported, but only for SHA256d.

Just fyi...

But i spent a good number of hours building bfgminer for a readynas duo nas. It runs on a sparc cpu with debian sarge (old old distro)

Havent tried any miners yet but cpu mining yields a whopping 20khash wooooo

hi wutti, even after hours of trying to get bfgminer to cpu mine on my raspberry pi 2, I did not succed. could you please tell me how to activate cpu mining with bfgminer on a rpi 2?

I don't think bfg lets you cpu mine anymore might want to use this https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#cpu and cpu mining why ?.

thanks toptek. i just wanted to cpu mine with my rpi out of curiousity and so as to learn a little bit about mining...

[Mikestang]

If you wanted to learn about computers would you study an Amiga from the 1980s?  No, of course not.

So if you want to learn about bitcoin mining why on earth would you try to cpu mine?  No one supports cpu bitcoin mining anymore because tech has progressed way way way beyond that.  Nothing you might learn there would be applicable to the world of asic mining.

Get a Gekko compac stick or buy a used S3, they're easy to use, cheap, and you can actually learn something useful from them.

Hi.

is there a working src/gz attitude_adjustment http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/ar71xx

and is bfgminer working on antminer s1 and s3 ?

i did have it on S1 S3 and S5 the only one i could get it to hash on was a S5 . for S1 and S3 it worked but wouldn't hash even posted a few pages back asking what might be wrong no one seemed to care, so i gave up.

even had the right openwrt links set up right in the opkg.conf file . you have to go to the open WRT site and find the old links to attitude_adjustment/12.09/ar71xx/packages/Packages.gz, they have sense been archived sense they kind of are no longer supported .


i wanted to at least get it working on a s1 and s3 but didn't happen for me,and the problem with S5 it works great seems to work better then the cgminer version bitmain hacked in but after a reboot it's gone :. bitmain  set it up that way, sigh.

GL,

to install bfgminer on openwrt you need to install lukes packages path.
http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.4.1/openwrt/12.09/README

bfgminer on the s3 might be working, but it wont show up in the ui.. since it uses a differnt style api then cgminer.

and the s5 does have a read only file system

I used the command interface not the antminer ui for the s1 s3 it just wouldn't hash it loaded the pool etc but then gave some strange error, i tried for weeks so now about all i use BFG for is Scrpt miners,

I'm a big fan of BFG.

the only way i could see anything working number wise on the S5 was the black screen command line ui.


or find a BFG .IPk file some place and load it off a external drive or in the tmp folder  using opkg install ipk name or find a tr.gz file and use the tz command but you need a tested working molded one with everything in it for that to work ,  the problem with S1 and S3 is no room on the controller if you try to install it the S5 way it Polly would work that way but no room and it might install off a external drive  on the s1/3, i just gave up.I'm not even gonna try on my C1 it has the same read only file system.

BTW i have a Avalon 4.1 working on a Rasp pi 2 not the B version they never really gave the Avalon4.1 the right rpi 2 support like they have for the A6 that i could find, once I'm able to figure out how to load the right openwrt on any PI , i can use the Avalon TZ gz file for Avalon 4.1 or A6 file, for any PI type PC with out having to rewrite a thing ,

"blktmpl error: Unrecognized block version, and not allowed to reduce or force it"

when trying to mine to a bitcoin classic node. Will this require an updated version of libblkmaker? looking at bitcoin-cli getblocktemplate I see

I don't support altcoins. When/if Classic actually proposes a hardfork (no such proposal has been made yet) and it achieves consensus to replace Bitcoin (from the entire community, not merely some niche with an agenda), I will add support at that time.

(Also, people who support a reckless hardfork without consensus, ought to seriously consider whether they think the project can actually survive without any competent developers involved...)

do you see any altcoin ?

to any one that cares the S3 still has drivers issue installing right now is my only guess, I'm not gonna even bro with it any more for the antminer s series unless someone comes up with a fully rewritten firmware with bfg as either the main mining software or as one built in to pick form like open wrt skins and they don't mind sharing it with us.

What mining algorithms are able to support by BFGMiner?

hello,

I would recommend having a look at the readme first, then ask for more details if it's not covered.

https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/bfgminer/README

I think that today it's SHA256 and scrypt only, at least that's what the 1st post is mentionning anyway.

edit: CPU and OpenCL/GPU mining for Keccak (SHA-3) also

I am using BFGMiner for my AntMiner U1 devices on a Raspberry Pi B+ and I was wondering if there are any advantages, other than fast pool switching, to using the stratum proxy option for my AntMiner S1 and S3 devices?

I had it running on a S5 it seems to handle things better with bfg then the hacked up version of cgminer bitmain only allows us to use in the antminer S series or wanted us to use but the problem now is the C1 and up have read only file systems and it's a pain to reinstall it after every reboot or shut down, bitmain waited to long to share the source, so  now no one really cares .and on the S3 and below the controller space is to small to install it like on the c1 and S5, it's works on the S1/3 BFG with no hashing, i can't seem to get it to install the right drivers, so i give up .I even asked two month ago what's wrong, to be honest, it really doesn't mater any more, very soon we get a new gen of miners that will Polly kill any S3 use age , im gonna use the frame any way .

Hello, I know that all guys here are professionals about mining so I need small advise.
I'm using BFGminer software and I have Gridseed 5,2MHs conected on the computer. Can anyone help me too setup this Gridseed on this software to mine ETH? If this is possible ?
My commands on the BFGminer are now  like this:
bfgminer -S noauto -S gridseed:all --set gridseed:clock=838 --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333 -u 1JkQzrN3wPwiYV7vT2uWzNgBQsG1me91Ez -p x

This commands are mining Scrypt on Nicehash, but I wonth to mine ETH on anny pool if is possible. Thank you for help
