There will be a fix for this in 3.0.3. It will still require some physical work though from the user.

The problem is that, in order for MultiMiner to detect both SHA and Scrypt ASICs, it must run BFGMiner twice. When the Bigpic (BF1 / Red Fury / Blue Fury) is probed as virtually anything but Bigpic, it stops responding.

This is not really a "bug" that can be fixed in BFGMiner. It's a known limitation. Some ASICs just do not provide a way to say "hey, what are you??". In that case you have to go through devices and say "are you A? no, are you B? no, are you C?".

And some devices, like Bigpic, just stop responding if you do this. And by adding a scan for devices with the --scrypt argument (necessary to pick up Scrypt ASICs) in one of the 3.0 previews, this effectively disables the BF1.

So, 3.0.3 will scan for SHA devices first, then Scrypt. This means (in my tests) all devices should be recognized by Scan Hardware.

But that scan also effectively disables some of you ASICs - namely your BF1 devices. You now need to physically walk over to them and press the RST button them. Then you can start mining.

The RST button must only be pressed once after Scan Hardware. I'm also looking into some more effective solutions for a future update but that will have to be for BFGMiner, not MultiMiner.

It connects to that URL in order to find updates to BFGMiner, SGMiner, SPH-SGMiner, etc. There's no reason it should not resolve. Are you unable to browse to that URL?

This is a work-around for an old bug when the R9 hardware was new. Sending the miner API a "QUIT" command would cause a Windows BSOD. Until a proper fix was in place, terminating the process directly avoided the BSOD.

@Suzukii

what does it mean "terminate GPU miners" if checked/unchecked?

HI Nate.
Fresh news on the odd not working issue.
Here is a error I keep getting.

I hope this helps I am stumped and frustrated.

Thanks

Hi Nate, seems like a bug has popped in v3.0.0 of MM. From today itself(actually bfgminer was automatically updated on launching MM) the app is switching to CoinChoose.com, even though Coinwarz API is set in place(always 10-20 API calls are left for use). I've set the miner to check for profitable coin every 15 minutes, however after the app is automatically switching to CC and starts mining LTC. Plus, even when it's using CW API(for a very short period) is switches to the second most profitable coin in CW list than the first one. I checked this manually. So any idea how come all of a sudden this started happening?

Thanks

That sad thing is they all worked before the upgrade.
These are my toy miners I have much larger.   

I am frustrated because I have never hit a roadblock like this before.

Suzukii,

Why did you check terminate GPU miners? Also how did you install SPHSGMiner?

Sorry I've got nothing to offer. But I wanted to share my crappy experience with you.
I went through this exact same thing with the Nanofury's. I ended up giving them away & bought an Antminer. Good luck.

Worse each time I scan new hardware it finds different units and loses others that were already detected.
So odd. 
I am incredibly frustrated.

After so much testing and uninstalling and re-installing I still have no answers just more questions.
BFGMiner hates the HexFury and RedFury since 3.9.
I can get all the miners to detect and work including strangely enough a BiFury, DualMiner, Ant U1 and U2, Block Eruptors.
It will not detect the HexFurys or RedFury.
When I leave out the HexFurys the RedFury will not detect.
It is like a dam puzzle.
I am ready to smash it all.  LOL

I am still running the last v13 (13.12?) series drivers. I lost a bit of performance with the "stable" v14 driver.

Very useful!Donation

Why does MM (v3.0.0) on every launch checks connection @ http://www.multiminerapp.com?? On every system start it checks connection with the website and unfortunately doesn't connects and fails to start automatically. Only after launching it manually (i.e. once loading the website manually in the browser) it gets connected for the specific session. Have to repeat this step on every launch; highly irritating. Nate, any solution for this??

Thanks

Hi all.
Buggy AMD v14.6 Beta drivers?
I just wanted to let some know what I just experienced.

The new AMD Catalyst v14.6 Beta drivers are buggy, at least on my i7, Windows 7 SP1 setup.

Anyhoo, I installed them & noticed that my previously working MultiMiner v3.0.2 with the Sapphire R9 290X GPU setup wouldn't mine with any coin config I had working prior to this driver upgrade. This included my Bitcoin, Litecoin & Darkcoin setups.

So I uninstalled v14.6 Beta drivers completely, rebooted & reinstalled them again.
Still no mining happened.
I uninstalled the v14.6 Beta drivers, again, rebooted, again, & installed the previous v14.4 Catalyst drivers.  
All is back mining the way it should be.

I repeated this again 3 more times just to see what gives.  I gives up, that's what.
At least I'm back mining Darkcoin with MultiMiner as before & will stay away from the AMD v14.6 beta drivers.

I guess that's why they're called BETA, eh?

Same here the Fury's are hosed in BFG 4 for some reason.
The pre-releases worked fine.
I am having issues getting them to work now or even detect after the update.

Yes I have everything installed as I had before and also uninsulated and reinstalled the drivers to make sure it wasn't them. I have had to revert back to the older release of this as works perfectly fine on it however latest build of multiminer and bfgminer it detects one and then the other 2 it does not want to pick them up regardless of what I actually do like turning on off swooping around installing drivers.

Ok I am dead in the water.
I can get DualMiners, Ant U1 and U2's, block eruptors to detect after completely wiping out MM, cleaning the registry, rebooting and redetecting.
It will not find my HexFury's, BiFurys, or RedFury's.
I am so dam confused. 
This is on any version.
I have lost almost 24 hrs of mining time with over 100gh/s that was on a couple different coins.

Any help would be great.  I cannot wipe this system or I would.

I have never had this kind of issue before.
The USB miners all work on the same HUB connected to my laptop so  know it is not a hardware issue.

Hair is falling out.  LOL
