Wondering if you ever got a BF1 for testing?
I just tried the beta on Fedora without any luck (and also without much poking around).
Topic: Bitminter client (Windows/Linux/Mac) - page 21. (Read 654946 times)
Still Time out with BF1. Any News?
If it still fails to detect even after you unplug and plug the device back in, then use bfgminer for now. I hope to get this fixed soon.
After unplug an plug the Device it is recognized, but it still won't hash.
If this is relevant, my BF1 will hash with bfgminer, but *only* if it is started with sudo. I enter the admin password and bfgminer seems to stall until I press the reset button on the BF1, at which point the red LED on the BF1 goes out then turns orange and bfgminer gets going. I'm running it under Mac OS 10.9 with MINT 14 (Linux) in a VMWare Fusion virtual machine on a 27" i7 iMac. I've never had any problems with my ASICMiner Block Erupters and BitMinter 1.4.2 native on the Mac (Java 7 / 45); in fact I run them simultaneously with the BF1.
It shows up as a Unit like the BEs do. But when I try to start mining nothing happens.
Edit: Just tried again, shows u as "Big Picture (cu.usbmodem621)"
When I try to Mine: "Big Picture (cu.usbmodem621) ERROR: Comm port already in use" and then "Icarus detection on cu.usbmodem621 failed. Expected nonce 0x00000109 but got 0x49014246."

Still timeout:
"Probe of port cu.usbmodem621 failed: timeout"
Running MacOS 10.8.5 with Java 7 Update 45
"Probe of port cu.usbmodem621 failed: timeout"
Running MacOS 10.8.5 with Java 7 Update 45
So it is still not recognized?

Any error messages at all?

I'm gonna test it with a Block Erupter USB type cause the 1.4 didn't like the proof of work 
After few hours: Nope, it doesn't work. What shall I do? Tips pls...

What do you mean 1.4 didn't like the proof of work? Do you see an error message?

My Block Erupters are working fine with beta 3. The Red Fury still gives a timeout on initialisation though I can get it to hash at 2.4GH/s using bfgminer.
ok stupid question lately when I try and start Bitminter I get a "Failed to Validate certificate. The application will not be executed" error.
Could you see if it helps to flush the Java cache?

Which Java version is this, and which operating system?
Windows 7 sp1 32bit
Java 7 update 45 build 1.7.0_45-b18
PS good work on the software your about the only one I can get the block erupters to conistently work on (even though I can't get it running on my main PC any more)

not yet same time out issue. but works with bfgminer
Hah - well put! That makes sense. 
edit: Strangely, the "Work units queued up" number seems to flicker... as I watched it after posting this, it was at "410"... "405""409"... "404""408"... it flickers a lower number then settles on a higher number about once every 2/3-second. Hrm... worth looking into? Or is that just normal operation as it feeds info to the unit and gets new work?
If you compare the BFL to a baby you are trying to feed; sometimes you feed it too much and some of the food comes back out.
Figured I should chime in here...
BitMinter client "stable" doesn't seem to work with my BFL Jalapeno. It'll detect it OK, but spits out errors about Icarus detection in the log, and when I try to start it, it cranks for a few seconds then hangs. Subsequent attempts to start/stop the device acts like I'm talking to a dead program.
The beta version worked first-try, no issues (except the Icarus errors on a COM port I'm not using), at about the same speed I was getting out of BFGMiner. CPU usage is a little high, but switching the UI to performance mode brings it down to 0-2% where BFGMiner was.
Seems the beta is more stable than the stable version

Nope Flushing cache didn't seem to do anything
