Getting a problem installing this. States in the readme to run ./configure but I don't have a file by that name. I do have configure.ac so tried running that, and got this:

Forgive me for the novice mistakes, but I have been trying to compile a fork of BFGminer for GPU mining on Windows, and am stuck. I am attempting to cross-compile on my VPS running Ubuntu 16.04. I cloned the repo in question, ran './autogen', then ran './configure --prefix=$TOOLCHAIN_DIR --host=mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc --enable-opencl', and then ran 'make' all without any errors. I see bfgminer was compiled for linux (and it works), but I don't see any windows executable anywhere? Thanks in advance for any pointers or links!

I've been trying to use 1 instance of bfgminer and then a 2nd of cgminer, but the cgminer is going crazy on the added moonlanders :s

I haven't ever been able to get BFGMiner and cgminer to work together; they use different USB drivers, and I'm a little weak in the USB knowledge dept.

I've been reading many topics, posts, different forums etc but have not yet been able to find what i need. Hopefully someone here can help me:

I'm using 2 gridseed orb's and now just added 3 futurebit moonlander 2's. I'm planning on getting a zeus lightning x6.

How can i make the config (on win 10 - 64) to use all these machines at once, OR to set the moonlanders on 1 coin, the gridseeds on another and later the zeus on a 3rd coin? Is that possible?

I think you should be able to get three instances running, one for each kind of miner. I've been doing something similar on a Windows 10 laptop to run orbs and sticks, distributed between two pools

Edit: you may have to run different versions of BFGMiner to support the older hardware, particularly if you use pre-compiled .exe's.

Withg BFGminer i get: Failed to sanity check in lowl-vcom.c windows_usb_get_string():508 and no devices found when searching for gridseeds.

Use the Win32 version for now. I'll try to get Win64 fixed for the next release.

911 IT Admin. I keep 911 up so you get help ASAP!

I have two Block USB miners I wanted to toss up on a windows box I am mining Eth with. I downloaded the Win64 version from the site, but I only see a bfgminer-rpc.exe and when I run it nothing, just hangs. Anyone got info on how to get this configured and running with these block BTC miners?

Thanks!

I see that the Bitmain AntMiner S1 - S4 and S5 Bitmain AntMiner U1 - U3 are supported, but are the AntMiner S9s supported? I can't seem to get mine to work. I open the bfgminer and it just immediately closes. Using Windows 7. Thanks!

Yeah we on the same boat but I think we need a section for solo mine/s9 this thread is way too much to read for a lot of S9 user.

--pool-goal name:malgo=keccak

That did the trick. Kernel is now keccak. But it's not generating any shares... ccminer does, on the same pool. OpenCL problem? ccminer uses CUDA, could that be the problem? At the same time it looks like the stratum diff won't come down from 1.02k on BFGMiner. ccminer adjusts the stratum diff down to a much smaller number after just a minute or two.

Code:

bfgminer.exe -S opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://pool.smartcash.cc:3333 --pool-goal name:malgo=keccak -u xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx -p xxx -L logfile.txt

How do I get Keccak to work on OpenCL? I've tried setting --set-device OCL0:kernel=keccak, --set OCL:kernel=keccak and so on, but it still keeps loading the poclbm kernel. Huh

Try to run bfgminer.exe (without -rpc). I'm not sure if the port needs to be 8332.

I am using bfgminer with Windows 10 for some gpu cards. When I begin with opening the .bat file bfgminer says "Failed to resolve to host" and it will not begin running the miner. What is wrong?

This is what bfgminer displays when I run the .bat file:

C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\Desktop\bfgminer>bfgminer-rpc.exe -o http://654.3.2.1:5555 -u username -p password --generate-to wallet address -S opencl:auto

I can see cgminer has it's own dedicated cgminer-api executable. But does BFGMiner?

It's called bfgminer-rpc
