that isn't the problem.  the problem is if BFG does not detect "shares" being accepted it throws up an idle error after 60 seconds.  It found a block last night (its my own coin and I am trying to get the blockchain moving again) but it always wants to restart because of the idle.  I am wanting to turn that feature off

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
I have looked and I cannot find it.  I am using bfgminer to solo mine my coins wallet.  BUT I don't want it to declare sick after 60 seconds, is there any way that I can disable that ?


Your miner? Underclocking it may make it stable. Smiley

I'm use to using MinePeon with bfgminer on my rPi but I wanted to repurpose my Pi as a retro gaming system. That being said, I installed 3.10.8 on a laptop with Vista. Got it loaded and running fine, entered pool info but here's where I'm a bit lost as I haven't had to do this for some time.

I connected a hub to the laptop, plugged in two of the 1.95 Gh/s Bitmain sticks and am getting a driver error or w/e you wana call it.

cp210x usb to uart bridge controller

I thought BFG was supposed to come with all the required drivers as when I use MinePeon on my Pi I have no driver issues but go to use it on a real system like my laptop and voila, driver problems.

Anyone able to help me out ? Please be as detailed as possible, Ty.
Windows installs need the SiliconLabs driver installed. Make certain you have removed and deleted Zadig drivers if they are present on the computer.
Can you link me please ? As for existing drivers, that won't be an issue as this laptops never really been used for any BTC stuff before.

FWIW, the zadig is for the 333Mh sticks right ? That being said, what if someone had those and the 1.9 sticks that I have wanting to run both at the same time using a hub like you can with MinePeon, would this be an issue on a windows system I assume since you said to remove those drivers if present.

Ty.
The Zadig drivers are necessary for CGMiner. http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
Thx.

So I DL'd the windows package since the laptop has Vista on it, install ran fine, did a restart for good measure. Plugged in the hub & turned it on, booted BFGMiner. So far so good, well, I went and plugged in one of the three 1.95Gh BMT sticks I have and it doesn't seem to be detecting it. Did the whole all / auto thing for searching for devices and nothing came up. I did however get an "error" or something when I did option "all". Looks like it might have mentioned the hub or something. Will have to try and get the exact "error" to post here later.

If you had already used Zadig to install drivers, you may first need to uninstall those drivers in the Windows Control Panel, choosing the option (it's a checkbox on the dialog) to delete the driver. Then install the proper set of drivers for BFGMiner (linked before from silabs).
That's just it, the first time I did the install with the linked drivers was after the windows installer failed to locate anything.

Anyway, I have yet to sleep so I'm gonna go do that and get back to this later but like I said, I did the install with the windows package from the link you posted and nothing seemed to work even after reboot so open to thoughts.

Thx again and now I'm off to get some sleep before I pass out or some S.

Plug in the miner and verify the driver is installed before opening bfgminer. Its normal to not find AMU without the -S antminer:all, personally I would verify that things work first before adding overclock arguments. If you think its the hub, look under device manager, most hubs use 5 or 7 channel IC's. The 20 port would look like 5 hubs were installed. If Windows fails to install the hub right, usually you just need to leave it plugged in and restart Windows a time or three, once its good your hub is usually recognized without issue from then on. Don't try to hotplug U2's while bfgminer is running, it just doesn't usually work well.

In the meantime, this (linked below) is the hub I have which works fine on the rPi with MinePeon and has no detection issues for deivces even if I hot swap by yanking and inserting them to move em around or w/e.

I am part working on making BFGMiner and Antminer S1 and S3 to work. Let me know how I can help.
Not sure I parsed that correctly - do you mean you are writing the code?
If so, a pull request on GitHub is probably best.
I could write but right now I focus on using your code and Compile it for Raspberry spezific and custom tweak it for Gridseed to tune as much as possible on them.

Found another thread showing best bfg for Zeusminer was 4.0 so that's what I'm running. Been playing with MultiMiner but couldn't even get it to see the Zeus. BFG does but it's getting 98% hardware errors Sad Sad

Using   .\bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S zeus:\\.\COM13 --url %URL% --user %cgUSER% --pass x --set zus:chips=6 --set zus:ignore_golden_nonce=1

Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions? Should I just get 5.0? Are my switches wrong? Do I need to specify the COM or just let it find it and if so with what?

You may need to under-clock it as folks have reported their newer ASICs being happier at lower clock speeds (I think I've seen 240 but not certain).

Bored with you morons.
Does your display have 12/12 or 11/12? That would be the chip count and if it is not 12/12 then there's your issue. Otherwise you may have to give in and run the Official Rockminer Fork of CGMiner available from the Download Tab on the Rockminer website. Yes it is an old CGMiner 4.3.3 but Rockminer has tinkered with it and MOST likely will be the only other solution to getting the full hashrate from your device.

Say I do go to CGMiner. How would I make it so that CGMiner only uses the Rockminers and nothing else?

Now these piece of shits are running at 20GH/s. Crap like this just makes me want to give up this bitcoin crap and walk away. And never come back. Not even use it, let alone mine it. All of this crap has got to be the most hacked piece of shit I have ever seen in my entire life.

Seriously, if you're considering a New RBox or anything from Rockminer, don't bother.

I've never been able to get CGMiner to work... When ever I launch it, it opens a split second and then closes. Can't do anything with it, nor see why it's even closing; doesn't matter which version I use.
