I am also experiencing issues with 5.2.0. I followed the readme directions for the U3, using

Code:

-S antminer:all

and

Code:

--set antminer:voltage=x800 --set antminer:clock=x1286 --set antminer:timing=0.022421

bfg sees the U3, started mining at about 9GH/s, and decreased to 1GH/s over the course of a minute. Anyone else had any luck with the U3?

I also tried 5.2.0 with my nanofury stick miners, been using 5.1.0 with them for a while now. 5.2.0 will not launch, however, it just hangs at:

Code:

 [2015-06-08 08:53:05] Started bfgminer 5.2.0

5.1.0 continues to work with them.

i tried to install bfgminer from git rep
no luck

git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git
cd bfgminer
sudo pacman -S uthash
./autogen.sh
./configure
make install

i get error libbase58.so no found

is there any tutorial how to install this on arch linux Huh

?

i am root

i do not need sodo

Hmmm, ok, that begs the question of why you used

Quote

sudo pacman -S uthash

but ok, I guess I misdiagnosed your problem then.

Just a guess as to your problem, but you probably need to do 'sudo make install' instead of just 'make install', as it's gonna install stuff (like the library reported as missisng) in system directories.

It also works to not 'make install' at all, and just run it from the build directory.

Luke-Jr,

Tried 5.20 with Antminer U3 using latest CP210x driver and parms suggested in Readme.ASIC. Changed things around a bit and tried manual detect, but still could not get 5.20 to find U3 units. Any ideas? Thanks.

Same here, I have 2x U3. I tried them on win7 and win8 machines, using the cp210x drivers and with zadig winusb. 5.2 (or any other bfgminer version) wont detect them.
They are running on cgminer 4.8, but have to be hotplugged each time to start them up.

BFGminer has always been so much the better tool, I hope that this can be worked out.

THANKS Luke-jr!

NEW VERSION 5.2.0, JUNE 5 2015

Human readable changelog:

antminer: Compatibility with Antminer U3; see README.ASIC for details.
icarus: Refactor timeout logic to work with millisecond precision on Linux and Windows.

Full changelog:

Upgraded Windows hidapi library from 0.8.0_pre20130121 to 0.8.0_rc1_p20140719
Update bundled libbase58 to 0.1.4
README.ASIC: Document usage with AntMiner U3
icarus: Include ns/hash estimates for each nonce result, in debug logging
icarus: Cleanup dev vs proc repr in logging
Bugfix: update_block_display: Ensure we have console lock, and avoid rare relock when resizing windows inside curses_print_status
gitmodules: Change libblkmaker URI to use GitHub since Gitorious is defunct
Bugfix: DevAPI: Avoid infinite hang in set_device help
bitforce: Wait until pre-initialisation jobs all flush completely before starting to avoid sanity check issues
bitforce: Wait to clear job queue (at init) until we have actually opened the device
bitforce: Remove unnecessary delay
Bugfix: vcom: Avoid overflowing cc_t before division to deciseconds
Bugfix: bitforce: Ensure hashes_done is called for every completed job
antminer: Adapt default configuration to work with U3 as well as U1/U2
antminer: Add U3 voltage setting (x??? format only for now)
antminer: getstatus needs to read a result for every chip, but we don't use the output anyway, so just skip it
icarus: Modify work division detection packet to be compatible with Antminer U3
icarus: Replace decisecond-precision read_count with read_timeout_ms (millisecond precision) to handle faster devices like the Antminer U3 that complete works in under 1ds
lowl-vcom: vcom_set_timeout_ms function (increases precision to ms on Windows only)
util: timer_remaining_us function
configure: Improve path finding macro to work with more possible CPP output
configure: Macroify header path search
Reduce HTTP request failure log level to DEBUG since it often occurs probing stratum pools
Bugfix: DevAPI: Guarantee set_device functions never get passed a NULL pointer for newvalue
Always update block display after pool display in case of username wrapping around
icarus: Pass device representation to icarus_{gets,write} so logging can use it rather than fd numbers
Bugfix: icarus: Check for impossibly fast hw errors (and don't report Eh/s when they occur)
Bugfix: icarus: Avoid a race with watchdog applying settings by setting device_data before add_cgpu
RPC: Clean up api_add_* somewhat
Bugfix: util: Fix is_power_of_two
Port antminer driver to use set_device_funcs

Sry to ask but how to get it on raspberry pi?
Noob question

if this is your first one you may want a full kit like this

Hello fellow hashers!
I'm running bfgminer 4.1.0 now on some miners that require bfgminer to be able to support extranonce and the #xnsub command.
I'm running them on nicehash for a friend who has a Zeus Lightning X6 farm.
I found out that 4.1.0 doesn't support extranonce algo so I looked for and found bfg 4.7.0 but it's all convoluted and not telling me how to set the command line to work correctly.
I tried using the bat file from 4.1.0 but alas, it just spits dummy!
Can anyone share a working bat file for 4.7.0 so I can get going with the latest version that supports extranonce.
I found 5.1.0 but there doesn't seem to be a version compiled for win32 nor does it say if it supports the extranonce algo required by the NiceHash/WestHash pool.
I can only run versions already compiled for win32.
Also....
Have they combined the ability to run Zeus and GridSeed 5 chips from the same program/gui yet?
Any help or useable advice would be greatly appreciated.

Download 5.1.0 - http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.1.0/bfgminer-5.1.0-win32.zip. You can always go to http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/ to download.

It supports extranonce and can be used with Nicehash/Westhash. I suggest not to run Zues with Gridseed in same app. It won't go smoothly.

I Agree for Zeus miner they may run smooth with a Zeus miner mix on the same controller but they do seem more stable one miner per controller and PI's are not that Expensive or you can make your own controller i think a few have .
example why do you think bit main gives us a controller etc with S1 to S5 one reason may be they do run much better with one controller per miner and it is easier to just plug in a PSU etc and your up and running , it may take hours to get a few Zeus's to work to gather on one controller much less with grid seeds.

It is poss but can be a headache getting it setup and working Smooth. Done it .

for GUI try this http://zoomhash.com/pages/raspberry-pi-software-update or Minera https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/minera-v090-your-next-mining-dashboard-s9l3d3cpuminercgminerbfgminer-596620 which works much better atm if you put your own custom BFG MINER in minera hes working on the Calculation problem with minera and some Script miners .

I'll be very curious to compare with how my U3s run with bfgminer since it uses a different driver than cgminer, and there are no shortage of problems with the U3... more options to play with are always welcomed!

I guess I need to take a break from working on Ant S5

How's that progressing?

There's a lot of code to reverse engineer (although it's much better than trying to RE the binaries).

From where are you getting the code?

https://github.com/bitmaintech/

Interested in collaborating on it?

Awesome!

Hi there Luke!

Is there anyway to instruct BFGMiner to switch to mine to another local wallet when RPC communications to a polled wallet indicates that either the difficulty level or the network hashrate is sufficiently low enough to then switch the RPC port the miner sends its hashes to?

Currently, I have all my coin wallets running and check each with the RPC dialog box with 'getmininginfo' to determine if it is worthwhile mining a specific coin that I know I will be able to solve blocks for, then I manually quit BFGMiner and restart it with the port number changed.

Thanks in advance.
