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

[aarons6]

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

ethereum is not scrypt.. it can only be mined by gpu.

[ulano111]

so you tell me that with gridseed is not possible to mine ETH?

[Mystogan]

Do I need to install Nvidia Cuda software for this?
I'm getting low hash rates

Old cudaminer is a good bet, i'm not sure that's even current anymore. The last time I checked was in 2013 when my laptop was happily mining away at bitcoin. Old quadro gpu died but I still think cudaminer is supported, or at least covers all gpus from 9800GTX to 980 and Titan X. Not sure about Z and 980Ti, cudaminer may not be supported anymore.

Sounds like mixed libblkmaker headers/library somehow.
Can you post your config.log file?

What is futurebit.c?

No, jansson and libmicrohttpd have never been included in the BFGMiner repositories...

Which OpenWrt version are you using, and does the BFGMiner repo match it?
Note I just added 15.05, but if you still have 12.09, you should use the 12.09 repo instead.

I got it i knew what to do, i had to add custom feeds to the version i used  or what ever they call them, it was on a PI2 i had it running, i went back to ubuntu 15 server on my PI3,wanted to test open wrt, it was running BFG 5.4.2  on a pi2 with openwrt under https://downloads.openwrt.org/latest/brcm2708/bcm2709/ .

I try to build "bfgminer futurebit driver" as you try and I had same errors ... (raspberry pi with wheezy)

I just type that commands and compilation goes weel just after:

its a pretty basic lunux mint with ubuntu 14.04.
i installed all the packages in the readme and i only made 2 changes. i added

Code:

 
BFG_DRIVER(,FutureBit,scrypt,no,[
	need_lowl_vcom=yes
	has_asic=yes
])

to configure.ac

and

Code:

if USE_FUTUREBIT
bfgminer_SOURCES += driver-futurebit.c
endif

to Makefile.am

i run
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS=-O3 --enable-scrypt --enable-futurebit --disable-other-drivers
make


you can remote in if you want.. not 100% sure how to set it up tho.. i have openssh installed.

i was going to try to start from scratch and see if i missed something.

I don't know how to fix this properly.
As a workaround, try adding --without-system-libbase58 to your configure options.

Details: GCC is finding your libbase58 in /usr/local/lib, and adding -L/usr/local/lib to the linker options. However, this causes the libblkmaker in /usr/local/lib to be used as well, which doesn't work because it's the older version. This is less likely to occur if I swap the order of the two libraries, but it doesn't really fix it. I could also specify the full path to the library, but there seems to be no portable way to get the filename right.

what if i just deleted it?

is it because ubuntu 14.04 has an old package that you need upgraded?

[Luke-Jr]

If it's in /usr/local, it didn't come from Ubuntu. Probably was installed with BFGMiner before.

i did compile the last bfgminer for the futurebit moonlander sticks so it could be. ill try tomorrow to just remove those files and start over.
