Quick question. I have been using BFGMiner on Windows and was going to use it on my Linux rig running Ubuntu. I ran the apt command on the website but am unable to find the miner after it grabbed it. Where does one find the folder?

I suspect user and password is wrong.
Since that mining pool require an account, you need using that user name that you signed with!.
Most mining pool allows us creating a worker starting with "1" and assigning a password.
If your user name is "user" then use:
If that mining pool allow assigning a password then use that password instead of "x"
Check if port is correct!
that's about it

If your user name is "user" then use:
Code:
-u user.1 -p x

To repeat myself: "I have no problems connecting with any other miner."
The instructions are fairly straightforward (no mention of workers):
https://mergemining.com/support/faqdetails/5/
The EXACT same command line (except for the path to the program) works for other miners, but not bfgminer.

Is there some reason I can't connect to mergemining with BFGMiner (5.4.2)? I have no problems connecting with any other miner.
This eventually brings up (which repeats endlessly):
Thanks in advance.

I was looking at the readme and hoping to find how to specify which coin I want receiving payment.
I find following area
"Multiple blockchains"
I assume if I want receiving payment in dogecoin from a pool then code should be like:
Correct?
If I mine multiple coins from pool then --pool-goal is useful but as long that pool allows this. Correct?

Is there a way to use BFGMiner on a ZedBoard with Zynq FPGA+ARM?
I have the hardware and really want to start mining.
can you give me a hint where to start?

hello the best way to invest 0.5 bitcoin is to invest in cloud mining but be careful because so many companies out there that claims mining but in reality they are just ponzi scams that uses referral programs for their favor, my advice is invest a little if the ponzi site is new but if it was out there for more than month please stay away because the chances of getting your money become slimmer i have invested about a 1000 dollars in legitimate that guarantees your profit the only 2 companies that i will advise to invest your money on are genesis mining and hash flare these two companies have real mining machines even though the profit is less than those ponzi scams but you are guaranteed to get your money back use this code WbEeRU to get 3% off your hash rate purchase in genesis mining and here's the link for hashflare https://hashflare.io/r/D4A4CB94 and use this code to get an addition 10% off by using this code fc76e62d and happy mining for everybody. one more thing i wanna add is you will get your investment back in about 6 months to a year depending on mining difficulty and btc price 0.5 btc is good place to start.

Hello,
How to use BFGMiner 542 ( as stratum Proxy for Antminers) for solo mining against local Bitcoin Core in TESTNET mode ?
It is working for the non-testnet but I can't get it running for testnet.
Testnet uses port 18332 in place of 8332
When I start it with ( from the windows CMD command prompt ) :
bfgminer.exe --url http://localhost:18332/ -u me -p password
[2017-02-26 21:20:44] Press any key to exit, or BFGMiner will try again in 15s.

[2017-02-26 21:21:00] Press any key to exit, or BFGMiner will try again in 15s.
It seems it still sees, or tries, to connect on 8332 , altrough I didn't specify this URL at start ( command line )
And the one specified ( 18332 ) can't be found.
I verifyed my ports and 18332/18333 are open ( and 8332/8333 are closed )

That's right! more sophisticated than previous versions
It may be very profitable
It seems also lighter

What is the status or plans for support of altcoin algos? I'd really like to switch to bfgminer for the configurability and monitoring, but sha256 is not profitable on my rig.
If someone else wants to maintain different algos, we can merge it and cooperate, but I am not interested. February 03, 2017, 04:16:48 PM

Hello,
is there a way to set minimum difficulty the stratum proxy server will accept?
example:
bfgminer -o localhost:8332 -u user -p pass --stratum-port 3333
this starts bfgminer in stratum proxy mode for solo using the local bitcoind, but when a remote miner is connected it sends diff 1 shares, which is too low.
I have tried --request-diff 1024 but i guess it works with stratum pools only and not with GBT solo.
I have tried to change the value in miner.h for minimum_pdiff to max(FLT_MIN, 1024./0x100000000) but it didn't change anything ... what i am missing here?
EDIT:
I have modified two more places and now it works:
in driver-proxy.c -> .desired_share_pdiff = 1024.,
in miner.c -> float request_pdiff = 1024.0;

I know that sometimes miners get false positives and you can't trust Google to be on top of things logically, but why is bfgminer.org getting warnings and why isn't it cleared up if it's a false positive?

Just below the release list is a link to the Archive, select that, in the new page select /latest, then scroll to the win64.zip. I just did this and it downloaded fine for me. Then I created a new folder in Downloads and drag'N'drop the zip into it, unzipped in the new folder, No Problems. It doesn't matter if you are trying to use BFG or CG, they have both been abused and sometimes get flagged. There is nothing that can undo history and Google and MS and FF/Mozz all careless about changing anything.

Are you sure you're not using another miner software?

Although this a false alert, google chrome doesn't allow downloading actual file.
It best using internet explorer without any problem!
However, before you download this. It''s important in doing the following:
1) create any directory you want unzip file
Inside your anti-virus setting such defender:
You can specify which folder to be excluded in scan and save that information:
1) Downloads
2) Folder you create earlier
After this you can download and unzip file without any problems!
Warnings:
If you plan upgrading to windows 10, window defender clear previous settings used in windows 7.
However, you can still add those folders as exclusion!
So open defender from systray, Select "settings at right.
Scroll down until you see "excludsions" click link below and you can those folder as you did in windows 7
