so question, I know that BFG works with the gridseed 5 chip pods for scrypt mining. What about dual mode with the gridseed device?  I am pretty sure the first comment to come my way might very well be why would you want to do that.  I realize profit for sha/scrypt mining on the little buggers is nonexistent. I am just at war with the pc at the moment trying to do it.  currently I am running cpu&cgminer to accomplish this, but it is not getting the results i think it should be.

No it's not currently supported in BFGMiner.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

AFAIK only the DualMiner ever supported SHA2, and on the GridSeed devices, the PCB design was such that SHA2 overheated it.
In any case, the BFGMiner driver for gridseed only supports scrypt, and nobody has mentioned plans to add SHA2 support, so unless you're prepared to write/contribute code, you won't get very far with that Wink

What is the command you used to run bfgminer? As well as os?

****EDIT: found earlier post from you with details

My guess would be that's from the bfx driver attempting to open the antminer devices?

Are there any plans to add it to the Open Wrt version or any other version or are the Gridseed Orbs to old to bother with supporting them?  Huh

The demand for mining SHA on the GridSeed ASICs is extremely low and is not supported in anything newer than the 5-chip Orbs, so it's not something I have planned. Contributions are always welcome though and it should now be possible to mine both SHA and Scrypt in once instance with BFGMiner 5 (previously this required two miner instances even with a miner driver that supports it).

Good day,

after few day with Bfgminer i must say that the best mining software I've used so far, except the problematic installation on the raspberry (libjansson-dev?).

for example the configuration from the Bfx2 during the operating...

But i have another question, i run another oscam server on the raspberry B+ and have at two USB connection two cards reader (/dev/ttyUSB0 + 1), I can exclude from the scan?

Quote
"scan" : [
  "amu:all",
  "bfx:all"
],
"set-device" : [
  "amu:clock=x0a81",
  "bfx:osc6_bits=53"
]

or do I have to manually exclude?

Quote
"scan-serial" : [
"/dev/ttyUSB2",
"/dev/ttyUSB3",
"/dev/ttyUSB4",
"/dev/ttyUSB5",
...
],


one last wish would be the support of the miners HEX8 of technobit, there is no chance for a HEX Batch as in Cgminer of technobit, or the driver directly from technobit?

regards

In regards to running bfgminer, at present do you have to run using SUDO to get the software to recognize the devices?


And regarding the technobit devices, the devices themselves don't quite conform to the standards for the communication protocol they "use". That is to say when plugged in and showing as a /dev/tty{USB|ACM}### when they are opened to start communicating they misbehave. This is why they're not presently supported

THX, but you have the right command for the bfgminer.conf?

At time the miner scan the USB posrt for the 10 miners:

Quote
"usb" : ":10",
"scan" : [
  "amu:all",
  "bfx:all"
],
"set-device" : [
  "amu:clock=x0a81",
  "bfx:osc6_bits=53"
]

is there a command line that certain ports are excluded?

regards

Hey all I was just going to inquire to see if anyone might be able to help me. I am about to go eat diner. I have been trying to use bfgminer for proxy to connect a rockminer t1 box to a pool other then the ones they normally do. I have had half okay outputs.

Code:
bfgminer.exe  --stratum-port 3333 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.minerpools.com:4714 -u pleasehelp.1 -p x --set-device PXY:diff=512

This is my bat file that I have been using. It takes a while and it will accept shares up to say .47 th and then it will get notified of block change or difficulty change and it just get stuck. I know it isn't bitcoin and that is an altcoin but I still like to figure this thing out if at all possible.

I have the miner pointed at my pc and the 3333 port. Like I said it will do this for a while and then it will accept shares again. So maybe I don't have something configured right. I expect this is the place that would be able to teach me. In the mean time will be pointing the miner at ghash.

Hey Luke, any luck with rockxie and his "New R-box"? im not sure if its my hardware doing the bad hashing (i suspect it is) or if its the lack of information you're getting from rockxie

IME both the NEW R-Box and the R3-Box perform sub-par with BFGMiner compared to CGMiner and the CGMiner fork. It seems like the code in BFGMiner is not able to properly set the clock rate to overclock it with the same effectiveness as the CGMiner code.

From what I've seen, both CGMiner and BFGMiner perform comparably until you start to overclock the RockMiner ASICs. While the original R-Box wasn't overclocked much (and showed the same issue if you tried to do so), their newer hardware ships overclocked to a large degree. And while overclocking seems to work with CGMiner (though at the expense of some hardware errors), it seems to only moderately increase effective hashrate with BFGMiner while sending the hardware errors sky-rocketing.

My 2 cents.
