Anyone know why the site is getting unsafe warnings in Chrome and Firefox?

http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.4.2/bfgminer-5.4.2-win64.zip

or where I can get a current version for Windows?

So there no as many rejects as you previous said.

You could trying using version 2.8
Hopefully you can uninstall version before installing others.

You could also use version 2.7:
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/download-archive/

warning there no window 7 but you should try download the one for win vista 64 bit.

See how this goes!

Works with 3.0 so the performance is low

According to GPU readme, you need download and install AMD APP sdk to setup GPU mining support. I understand recent version is 3.00. I know document says 2.7 is best but if you haven't download and install this, you might want to do so. I am unsure which version is best but ask around.

Make sure install the following:
AMD Catalyst
http://soft-library.com/radeon-drivers-amd-catalyst

This support your GPU

The commands are for the hd7xxx I am using the 390x more I will do tests later

You do know that mining for bitcoin isn't recommend using bfgminer based on following:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/19308/bfgminer-running-on-gpu-on-windows-7

You get productive using using --scrypt as seen here:
https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/bfgminer/README.scrypt

Inside readme script has settings for GPU and might shed some lights.
It will you double cgminer GPU setting you used and check those inside GPU and scrypt readme

Mining for bitcoins is also not possible therefore mining for scrypt coins is best.

What algorithm are you using, I think you get a better response once we know that!

I discovered is the error and that I have to specify the algorithm used
It still does not validate in other polls validate normally

I know cgminer recommend the following code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 'this is number of gpu

trying adding above code in first two line inside your bdfminer bat file should like:

It might also you provide us your setting on GPU without pool informations

Above code, I'm not entirely sure if this is a requirement for bfgminer but it does on cgminer

Does this help?

I haven't been mining on GPU for quite a while if the above code doesn't help, again by proving your GPU setting in your bfminer, I'm sure others can help.

Thanks for the answer but the yield is well below the cgminer-3.7.2
Is there any way to improve it anymore and was of great help for my initial tests
Because all blocks are invalid?

The following should shed some light:

https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/bfgminer/README.GPU

I hope that help. downloading and installing opencl, it also a requirement.

bfgminer-5.4.2-win64>bfgminer -o -S opencl:auto

Unexpected extra commandline arguments

How can I mine with bfminer with gpu?

Codes came from:

https://gist.github.com/AmazingDreams/b4b3a2a81a29ac3fe6b1


Most part on ./configure as I know those are asic devices in which I don't have

I recall reading about CFLAGS setting, what's proper setting that is more stable?
If I want to enable gridseed device then it should like "--enable-gridseed" correct?
If there other settings I need to consider will good to know them as well.

With provided code is all I need to perform?

I'm still using minera for time being but I noted that after 5 days of mining, few files or directories get deleted internaly in which I had to re-create everything.

I hope eventually not to use minera for testing!

Importantly before trying executing above code, is there a way check gridseed device being recognize when booting rpi.
What's command for it?

My apologies if this has been covered before but I've tried the search function and couldn't quite see what I was after. I'm away from a computer and on my phone so can't view the readme file either.

Basically I've been using cgminer-gekko-rev2 on a raspi3 for some time now and have recently been told by another forum nember that bfgminer supports gekko compacs (sidehack sticks) and you're able to adjust the freq without having to reboot the pi every time.

Now to my question. Can I install the current version of bfgminer on the same raspi memory card using the "aptitude" function as listed on the first page? What happens when you use that function? Is it an auto install or do I still have to compile it?

Would there be any conflict between cgminer and bfgminer? Also would the Autorun function be the same if I were to enter it into the raspi /etc/rc.local file?

Thanks in advance for any help.

mining Scrypt amd gpu ?

Hi. Just getting back into mining after a couple year break. Stuck on a config issue and I hope this is the right place to ask.

My setup is a an Antminer S5, BFGMiner 5.4.2, and a SHA256 altcoin. The full node and BFGMiner are on the same Win64 machine. Antminer is local lan. I can run ok with the below setup but have been unable to get miner to run over stratum protocol. Seems to only work using getwork. Keep seeing "Pool 0 not providing work fast enough" and miner running at 1/4 full hashing rate. I am able to connect miner to stratum proxy on same Win64 machine. Running Win10. Any help is much appreciated.

Antminer setup is
http://192.168.1.134:3333

with BFGMiner startup
bfgminer.exe  --http-port=3333 -o 127.0.0.1:8338 -u username -p xxxx

I don't think this is really the right place to ask but I was redirected to this thread by Moderator -ck:

I'm running bitcoin-core-0.13.0 + bfgminer 4.2.0 on Debian8.6 (ARM) I didn't figure out how to start bfgminer with an unprivileged user. I tried:


Unfortunately bfgminer can not find any devices this way...


...works fine (sowithout --setuid MybfgminerUser).

Any ideas?

@luke-jr - I really like BFGMiner. I'm not mining for profit, just for fun, at this point. Have you given any thought to supporting Ethereum GPU mining? I am using Claymore's miner at the moment, but would prefer to used BFGminer as it is open source and I prefer its UI.

like this ?. it may be dated some but i think that's what you want over the read me ? .when all it is the read me and actually it's not dated look under Ubuntu 16 .

thanks top.

Here is what the config file is. In addition to whats been posted above.

Hello. Just upfront I have read the readme.txt and both the fpga and asic files. I have two usb block erupters on my thinkpad that I want to mine PPC with. I have joined a pool and tried to get going without work.

The following is whats being output

The pool is setup like so "bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://peercoin.ecoining.com:3336/#skipcbcheck -u Ssg0588901.Lappy647 -p x"

Any hints or ideas?
