Hi, I run bfgminer with -S \\.\COM9 \\.\COM10 \\.\COM11 but still my USB memory stick doesn't want to mount properly.

Whenever I plug something into a USB port I see bfgminer complaining about something (can't remember, remote location) so it's definetly not sticking to those COM ports...

How can I force bfgminer to not spam my whole USB circuit?

Try adding -S noauto to the parameters.

My guess would be that the bc address is invalid. I've confirmed that pool seems to work fine (with regard to login).

If you actually want to solo mine, though (which using any third-party operated server is not), just configure and run Bitcoin Core with the RPC server enabled, and skip the -o/-u/-p options.

Double checked the btc address, it is correct.

There are advantages to ckpool over pure solo mining that I wish to make use of; that pool is as close to solo mining as it comes without technically solo mining.  I tried configuring BTC core with RPC server enabled, however, since I have moved my block chain data from the default location I have yet to have any luck getting that to work, either.  As I said, new BTC user here.

Hello, new user here trying to get my first of two pieces of mining gear going.  I have a Cryptorig Hitchhiker usb stick (Bitfury ASIC, same chip used in red fury, blue fury).  I downloaded the latest BFGminer, plugged in my usb stick, and then launched BFGminer using the following: bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u myBTCaddress.HH -p x -S all --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=50

The light on the ubs stick comes on briefly, the screen displays:
"Started bfgminer 5.1.0"

Then the light goes out, nothing happens on the screen, then it quits with:
"No server could be used! Exiting."

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

At this point I just want to try mining anything at all.  I can't afford a setup that will make a profit, I just want to get in for the "lottery" effect, as well as to contribute what I can to the bitcoin network.  Once I get this thing working I will look at those pools you suggest.

Are you sure you want to throw your 2.6GH/s to solo mining? You won't get anything from it. Calculate your profit using vnbitcoin.org/bitcoincalculator.php and if it is profitable, point that miner to Ghash.io or Eligius as these pools support merged mining.

Hi all,I need some help please.Whenever I am trying to solo mine with bfgminer my Zeuss and Gaw miners do not work.In this screen shot you can see what they are doing and that the GSD miners are ok but Zeus and Gaw are not happy hahaha.

They also do this with some pools or it seems certain coins as well.Any ideas on what I can try would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance :-)





Actually this is normal and they will remain in a sick status until they find a block or a share.  This is standard for zeus miners for some odd reason but it's nothing to worry about, they are only in a 'sick' state because you haven't found any blocks or shares yet, as soon as a block or share is found that status will be removed and then come back again after a short time until a block or share is found again.

Well maybe not, 1 gridseed stopped working after 1 share.  Still better than 0 lol.  I'll keep toying around, baffling.

Good news! 1 gridseed is not running on mine. Anybody know what's the reason? I thought it was for me only, some problem in the hardware, wires etc... and that's why I didn't ask here. @romeshomey: Thanks for posting here.

Ya, I only have this issue in BFGminer, not sure what causes it.

Also, as I noted above, if I connect any other types of ASIC to the same BFGminer instance as my gridseeds, then 2 gridseeds won't do any work.  Kinda bizarre.

I am still struggling to figure out why I can't get all of my ASICS to hash using bfgminer. 

The issue isn't with the gridseeds themselves, its something else and I can't pinpoint the issue.  No matter how many ASICS I have hooked up, there is always one that doesn't do any work in the miner.  It is never the same one, everytime I start an instance of bfgminer its a different device that won't do work.

If I hooked up 1-2 ASICS, both work.  If I hook up 3, only 2 work.  If I hook up 4, only 3 work, and etc.

If I start each ASIC in its own instance of bfgminer, same thing, there is always one that doesn't do any work.

Here are a couple of screen shots of what I am struggling with.

Also, if I run my gridseeds and blizzards in the same instance, then there is 2 devices that won't do any work.

Here is my .bat config for both.

With the below all but 1 device will do work.
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.com:PORT -u user.name -p pass -S gridseed:all --set gridseed:clock=850

Running gridseeds and blizzards in the same instance, 2 devices won't do work.
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.com:PORT -u user.name -p pass -S gridseed:all -S zeusminer:\\.\COM8 -S zeusminer:\\.\COM9 --set gridseed:clock=850 --set zeusminer:clock=340 --set zeusminer:chips=128

This happens for me too. I suggest using 835 instead of 850 as clock speed for better stability.

   -MZ

Ahhhhh, much thanks!  I thought I had tried 828 previously and had the same issue but maybe not as switching to 835 allowed them all to function now.

Hmm, distros may need new maintainers if the old ones are slacking Sad
Anyone want to take care of these?

Can you tell me what all things will I have to do? i.e., I am beginner to programming.

Any ideas?  This baffles me as I always show 1 gridseed with a 0 hashrate but it always appears as if its hash is being split between the other gridseeds.

I am running BFGminer 5.0.0 with 6 gridseeds atm but only 5 of them will ever show a hashrate with a 6th at 0 but the one that is 0 is always random when BFGminer starts and no matter how long its left running it stays looking like below.

The strange thing for me is that one of the other gridseeds will show like a 500-600 kh/s hashrate at times or others will show an above normal hashrate and I'm wondering if the hashrate from the one showing 0 is being applied to it/them?
