Interested in collaborating on it?

Yes, where's your fork?
I have S5s, so I could help with testing, too.

I'm not planning to fork the Bitmain code, but rather to reverse engineer it and write a new userspace-only driver.
So far I've just been studying how it interfaces to the hardware - mainly the kernel code so far.
Perhaps it's best if you start at the userspace/cgminer side so we don't overlap?
I'm about to be AFK for a bit, but maybe later we can discuss further on IRC

Wow, I'd really like to see BFGMiner on my S5s!
Currently using the cgminer 4.9.0 version, but that is a hassle if you reboot the machine, you have to replace it each time...
Didn't spend a lot of time on that, besides putting the binary in /config (surviving reboots); together with a stupid script that stops 4.8/replaces and starts 4.9.
Any idea how to edit the Firmware in the eMMC?
Also the options is a mess... If you find any reference of voltage settings (in hex) that would be interesting (found different answers on that, and obviously interested in the correct one).

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?

Any ideas when the Antminer U3 v2 will be supported? I am very curious to see if it will handle my U3's better than CG miner. I wish I was a coder and could help out. BFGMiner is a great piece of software Cool

"Soon". I guess I need to take a break from working on Ant S5 & Avalon4 and just release 5.2 to get those out there...

Hi,

Has anyone got it working with extranonce.subscribe functionality? I'm using rasberry pi 2 B with 30GridSeeds and I need that extranonce.subscribe stuff.

Thanks.

Yes. Use #xnsub at the end of pool url.

I have forgotten about this, but there is the "rotate" function for bfgminer? and if yes, can i use it with non integer value, like 1/2?

example "rotate 1/2 minutes" or 30 secs if it is allowed

No, it only parses integers... is there a reason to not just use --balance or --load-balance for this?

How often does BFGMiner try to connect to primary pool while running on backup pool?
I am using KnC Miner Titan units and on https://www.betarigs.com the pool is not reachable until someone rents your rig.
I need to know how long it can take at most before the miners find the primary pool to be reachable and switches back to primary pool.

Hi,
currently i'm GPU mining (on OS X) while waiting for my miners.
My problem is that bfgMiner just isn't start working, what am i doing wrong?
I have tried mining LTC, BTC on Windows, OS X and different pools.

Hello. You shouldn't mine BTC, LTC or well-priced coins with CPU or GPU. You will loose money.

Your CPU/GPU isn't good enough to get a work from a well-proced coin's pool such as BTC, LTC, Doge. If you want to try mining, you can test mining new altcoins.

I am having issues installin BFGMiner 5.1 on my KNCMiner Jupiter

I followed the instructions in the README and everything works in the end. BFGminer 5.1 runs but if I restart the miner, ever goes back to the way before. And I have to follow all the instructions from scratch.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Nothing, that's the expected outcome of those instructions.

To effect a permanent change, you must overcome the RAM filesystem overlay.
Generally, that means making a new firmware image and uploading it.

Well, when 5.10 exists it will work. Latest 5.1 does not support U3...

Is there an ETA for the U3 support version? The U3's I have are nothing but trouble, I'd be interested to see how they react when driven by bfgminer.

This is an excellent miner, thank you! I have been using it with my Nvidia GPU and MultiMiner and mining Dogecoin. Now I am trying to branch into the DualMiner USB 2 realm.

I have a USB DualMiner connected to my computer, but it overheats while mining after about 15 minutes and starts throwing hardware errors in the log and stops submitting. Or course, I put a fan on the device which fixed the problem.

My question is: Are there any arguments I can put into MultiMiner that will get passed to BFGMiner to "underclock" my devices so they do not overheat? Or are the USB Dual Miners designed to run at full throttle?
