I cant find any of mye GPU's on BFGminer, I have a GFX 870M, and updated it but I still acnt find it. What is wrong?

You could try adding it manually or go the auto option to see if it shows up.

or use for GPU it safer and much easier to use and sets up faster .

do bfgminer support Avalon 6?

do bfgminer support Avalon 6?

No, I haven't any sample/specs to work with yet for Ava6.

@Luke-jr I get

"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

"version" : 805306368,

Which I thought corresponded to v3 blocks (0x30000000) but since it's not working, I'm not so sure...

If your answer is that this is a bitcoin classic issue that needs to be fixed on their end, that's fine, but any starting points would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

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...)

I figured your reply would be something like that. I wont be a jerk and ask why scrypt asics are supported if you dont support altcoins.

I don't maintain the scrypt support, and certainly don't provide [unpaid] support if someone has problems with some scrypt altcoin.

So if someone else submits a PR that allows bfgminer to work with a bitcoin classic node, you'll merge it? (That is, if someone else "maintains" the bitcoin classic support)?

If it isn't Classic-specific (ie, generalised), doesn't affect libblkmaker itself, and doesn't degrade Bitcoin support in any way.

But a more practical way would be to have Classic's bitcoind simply set sizelimit to 2 MB and use the version/force mutation in BIP 23.
I think that would result in something that actually works with unmodified BFGMiner/libblkmaker.

I am trying to downclock my 700gh monarch that is shutting down my psu at only 65c with the V5X command and it does not seem to get through,the card stills shutdown and does not downclock.I tried with 4.2.0 (bfl version) and 5.4.1 and with 2 different Lepa 1200w psu's

Should I see a confirmation in the bfgminer window when sending this command ?

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks

im trying to cross compile this with openwrt and i get this


/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin/../lib/gcc/mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc/4.8.3/../../../../mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: cannot find -lbase58


make menuconfig doesnt list libbase58-dev as anything i can install.

any ideas?


edit nevermind i just used --without-system-libbase58 and it worked.. guess i didnt need it..

The openwrt directory has an OpenWrt package Makefile FWIW.

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
