If you already have the debug version installed, will it still install the new debug version?

Crazyearner, make sure you don't have any of the "zadig" USB drivers installed, cgminer needs them, but bfgminer doesn't.

This is also what Luke said when I showed him the error. Crazyearner indicated this was all working with bfgminer before 3.7 though.

Can you please tell me what bfgminer 3.7 returns with this command:

Code:

bfgminer --device ? --scan erupter:all --scan opencl:auto --scan cpu:auto

Gives me the following..

Can you please report this to Luke in the bfgminer thread? He's trying to wrap up fixes for 3.8. Thanks!

Just updated to lastest vieron looks nice for the picures however I cant get it to detect any of my blue furys or erupters or gpus or cpus like you have

If you are using cgminer then you need to install the right drivers for your devices:

Erupter drivers are here: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
BF1 drivers are here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/819me4zvdju8lyg/bfgminerWin.zip (from this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blue-fury-support-thread-319419)

cgminer and bfgminer use incompatible drivers for USB devices. Any time you switch between them you need to remove the old drivers and install the new.

CPUs will not be detected unless you use a version of bfgminer with CPU support enabled. As for why bfgminer would not detect your GPUs that I don't know. Try running the following:

Code:

bfgminer -S opencl:auto -d?

I'm assuming 1.4 won't be updated any longer, which I understand based on your prior messages, but I just want to make sure that I should shut off updates on my rigs? Obviously, I don't need CGminer or Multiminer update messages, as none of the new versions will work with my setup.

I'll update 1.4 if there are any bugs or anything serious. For now 1.4 should not prompt to upgrade to 2.0 and should also not prompt to upgrade to bfgminer 3.7

Quote from: atomicchaos on November 28, 2013, 06:15:59 PM

I'll keep using this though, as it's been rock solid until something else comes along. Would love to switch to 2.0, but CGminer is the only choice I have at the moment, as I'm not taking a big hit on performance just so I can use the latest version of multiminer.

If you have time can you give me some examples of the arguments you are using, the models of cards, etc? I have a handful of 7950s and never saw a big performance difference between bfgminer and cgminer.

Quote from: atomicchaos on November 28, 2013, 06:15:59 PM

Given the current profitability of mining using GPUs, I doubt it will be long before something comes out to support. I mean calculating my ROI these days is better than porn.

I sure hope so! It seems like a really bad time to ditch GPU and scrypt mining...

However with the same intensity etc I am getting poorer results than CGminer..

Can you provide some details?

What cards?
What command line arguments?
What version of cgminer?

You can still download version 1.4 if you need cgminer support. However, as you know they no longer support GPUs or scrypt of any kind. There really is not a good clean way to keep supporting both bfgminer and cgminer.

My suggestion would be to either use 1.4 if you must use cgminer or encourage other developers to contribute to the GPU and scrypt code in bfgminer so that it gets improved.

~~Upgraded to 2.0 but now it no longer detects any hardware attached...~~

It took a few restarts and leaving it sitting for a while but eventually found my GPUs. However with the same intensity etc I am getting poorer results than CGminer..

There's a small update up - v2.0.1 - mostly addressing minor bugs in the initial 2.0 release.

Show temperature for ASICs that report it
Changed wording to "Scan Hardware" to remain consistent with bfgminer (--scan)
Various bug fixes

Thanks for the feedback folks Grin

I tried deleting the config files, but it didn't work.

You were close! Grin

Can you send me your MiningLog.json and then delete that. MM should start up after. Thanks!

11/27/13 11:59:39.048 AM MultiMiner.Win[66126]: CGSDeviceSynchronize: Invalid device window

I'm not familiar with that one, though from some Googling it does sound like a Mono issue.

To be honest, while MultiMiner works well for me on OS X and Linux, the primary OS (for now) is Windows.

You could try installing bfgminer or cgminer yourself first. MultiMiner only installs it if not present. There are instructions here: http://thread.xgminer.com

Thanks! That fixed the startup problem, now the issue I am having is it is crashing constantly with this error:
