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

[toptek]

I have few questions:

If all pools are dead then why does bfgminer still list works as accepted and what is abount coinbase chreck as seen on image:


How to deal with coinbase check?

Code:

/#skipcbcheck

 after the port number like this  

Code:

-o stratum+tcp://pool1:port/#skipcbcheck

this link https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#scrypt  explains in more detail and it works with anything that needs it not just titan miners.


there not dead if it's a multi mining pool or a pool that's mines more then one coin aka alt coin mining pool  it's  switching to a more profitable coin on it list of coins to mine.
that's the best way i can think of to explain it, that's normal for a alt coin mining pool . if you mine on a pool that only does one type of coin you shouldn't ever see that or i haven't yet  Mining nothing but ltc or btc direct. like here for ltc https://www.litecoinpool.org/ btc https://www.antpool.com/home.htm those are just examples as far as i know those two pools don't mine alt coins they mine the real thing but it can be more profitable mining alt coins with low end gear ,and that pool auto sell it for you .

Thank Toptek,

I'll keep this in mind!

I recall receiving a message pool 0 or 1 is not misbehaving restarting 'something like this' that gets rid of red message!
But this is happening quite frequently but I guest that's normal!

Few questions:
While mining DGB, how new blocks being found?
I never understood this and will be great know in my case while using gridseed units

Also while using mimera:
I am just about getting a new RPI and I got that image!
Is it possible running bfgminer while connected via putty, I mean without going through GUI?

If I need using sudo, I trust you can tell me!
Assuming we can, can you give me those command strings as we usually do in windows?
Also do tell where bfgminer executable is!
Once inside, I can easely using "screen" so I wouldn't loose process while terminating SSH session
I know how to attach and other instructions.

I have mining monitor using android emulator and I thing that's quite suffiscient!

try

Code:

com:port_num/#xnsub#skipcbcheck

for  red message!


While mining DGB, how new blocks being found?  sorry atm that one i can't explain maybe some else can.
Is it possible running bfgminer while connected via putty, I mean without going through GUI? yes how are you doing it now ? .
sudo is required i can tell what to edit so you can log in as root with SSH so you won't ever have to use sudo but that may get me yelled at, it's a safely thing .

minera does put some of that in so sudo is not required as much . but you can use root this way which is safe

Code:

sudo su

that will put a pi that is login on as  user mode into root mode till you reboot the system.

also kind of lost windows with ssh no need unless it's on a PI all ssh does is let a windows based OS use a Linux based system remotely or use it like it's a  windows box remotely but it's safer, same thing with winscp i linked it puts it in a windows user frame of mind with a windows gui .

this is very useful https://winscp.net/eng/index.php it lets you do all kinds of thing with windows you can't do other wise !,



bfgminer on a Linux based system kind of has no .exe as you know it. we may be getting a little to off topic now ...

try this link for some of those  off topic questions https://www.raspberrypi.org/ I'm not trying to pass the buck or be a jerk by not answering some question but in a way somethings i can't without being at risk kind of my self and some thing are best learned solo . but if i know it and know it won't hurt anyone i'm  all ways glad to help.

PLz help, how to define is my BFGminer started to work? I saw somw numbers changing and went to sleep and when i woked up, nothing was mined. I connected to two pools and connection was

Good day,

i have a problem with the U3 on mi Pi with Bfgminer, when I'm start manually:

./bfgminer -S antminer:all --set antminer:chip=BM1382

is the start OK and the bfgminer find the device...

 AMU 0:       | 44.40/42.46/47.53Gh/s | A:53 R:0+0(none) HW:1/.01%

but i must adjustage the pool manually and the quota from the pools...

So i configure the bfgminer.conf

...
,
"load-balance" : true,
"api-listen" : true,
"api-allow" : "W:0/0",
"api-port" : "4000",
"expiry" : "120",

"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "2",
"scan-time" : "60",
"worktime" : true,
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"antminer" : "all",
"antminer" : "chip=BM1382"
}

and after start, ./bfgminer --config /home/pi/bfgminer.conf

the don't find any device...

regards and THX

Edit:

my device i can find under:


SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{serial}=="0100", SYMLINK+="U3"

/dev/U3

[Luke-Jr]

"antminer" : "all",
"antminer" : "chip=BM1382"

You want:

Code:

"scan":"antminer:all",
"set-device":"antminer:chip=BM1382"

[Buchi-88]

"antminer" : "all",
"antminer" : "chip=BM1382"

You want:

Code:

"scan":"antminer:all",
"set-device":"antminer:chip=BM1382"

THX the antminer run, does i need the option: "scan-serial"?? And the Clock settings for the Antminer OK?

...
"scan-serial" : [
   "/dev/U3"
],
"scan" : "antminer:all",
"set-antminer" : "voltage=x780",
"set-antminer" : "clock=237.5",
"set-device" : "antminer:chip=BM1382"
}

THX

[Luke-Jr]

scan and scan-serial are the same

[Buchi-88]

Tank you,

i hope the setings for the U3 are OK?

Thank you for your help so i hope the U3 runs good on my Pi and the bfgminer

Edit:

The speed are correct or a little bit low?

Magnitudes slower than I would expect from a U3...

I also think so, may know they have a solution ?

Perhaps try a lower clock rate?

with a manuall start without bfgminer.conf, the U3 runs good... so i will test a today then i hope i have a solution...

The normal spec of the U3 where 225/750?? ~ 50Gh/s?

Good evening,

after i change my bfgminer.conf to this:

...
"scan" : [
   "antminer:all"
],
"set-device" : [
   "antminer:chip=BM1382",
   "antminer:voltage=x780",
   "antminer:clock=237.5",
   "antminer:timing=0.022421"
]

The U3 start without problems

As miners should be well aware by now, using a CSV-enabled node will be required by block 419328 (~July 4).

Miners using centralised pools via stratum need only ensure their pool is upgraded.

Miners who are solo mining must upgrade bitcoind to Bitcoin Knots 0.12.1.knots20160629.rc2, which has just been released.
Bitcoin Core 0.12.1 is not sufficient due to delays (mostly my fault) in getting GBT updated for CSV upstream. (when released, 0.12.2 and 0.13 will work)
Knots can, however, be configured to use Core's policy defaults by simply adding "corepolicy=1" to your bitcoin.conf file (though I do not recommend this; Knots' own defaults are much better for the network).
In any case, mining nodes should be configured for a larger-than-default memory pool. For example, "maxmempool=1000".
In addition to CSV and BIP9 GBT support, Knots is also backward compatible with current versions of BFGMiner and libblkmaker (using the version/force mechanism), so you do not need to upgrade BFGMiner.

(Note that unlike CSV, SegWit will require upgrading both bitcoind and BFGMiner for GBT and solo mining, so plan on this in a few months.)
