May be unrelated to my previous crashes, but I got another one tonight - this time with BFGminer. Happened right after I started trying out a new coin for the first time - Benjamins.

Update: Yup, it doesn't like Benjamins - it keeps crashing. Switched off of it for now. Not sure if it's a MuM or BFG issue. I'm disabling the coin for now though.

Looks like somehow BFGminer became corrupt. It started doing it on other coins too. Deleted the BFGminer folder and let it re-download. Running fine since then.

Spoke too soon, crashed again. I'm reverting back to 2.4 again.

Update: I found the issue. I restarted the computer, and it re-detected one of my miners and assigned it to another port. No idea what was going on with it.

Is there a command missing to tell BFGminer to compile scrypt?

Good call, yes --enable-scrypt

I thought so. I compiled it per your instructions, thinking perhaps that this fork compiled scrypt default enabled. I am recompiling now per the commands listed below.

So, just to clarify for anyone copying the instructions verbatim, it should be:

Code:

git clone -b feature\/dualminer-support https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer.git bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-scrypt
make

So, multiminer definitely doesn't work on the pi.

Is there a way to compile the version of BFGMiner that's being used?

Modified version of someone else's instructions:

Run the following commands.

git clone -b feature\/dualminer-support https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer.git bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
mv /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminerOLD
mv bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer
sudo reboot

Then go into minepeon and set bfgminer as your miner, save and reboot.

Silly question. Can't I just run BFGMiner from the command line rather than use minepeon? That's what I'm doing now. Just not the current dualminer fork.

That works. I had used a preview release on my other system that is down and I never had a chance to see if it worked that way or not.
I am going to try the preview now.
I am looking forward to trying the DualMiner support. Are there any other notable changes in the preview?

Dumb question.
Before I DL and install the test version of MuMi with DualMiner support does it update like the official version?
So when you release the official version I can just update to it?

Yes this will still update to an official version when it is released. The version # hasn't changed for the preview-release (only the build #).

I'm so beat I am not sure if I am up to installing then having to uninstall and re-install when the official release hits.

I have updated to 2.7.4 and a drop of approx. 35-60kh/s total on my dual 5830 miner. I have since reverted back to 2.6.2 and now my Multi-Miner is not "Starting with Windows". Later I will install CCleaner and clean up my registry, maybe that will help MM not starting with windows. Not sure where to start for the kh/s rate drop.

MultiMiner does not affect your performance. Unless you changed the version of bfgminer installed there should be no noticeable difference between versions. I've tested 2.6.4 vs 2.7.4 and I get the exact same hashrate. There's also been no changes to how it is launched with Windows. Try creating a shortcut in your Startup folder.

Quote from: mstrongbow on February 24, 2014, 07:47:08 PM

My other issue is on another machine (Win8, Multi-Miner 2.7.4) but deals with a stratum proxy and an AsicMiner Cube. The Cube is hashing away on hi-clock without any issues (I let it stabilize on lo-clock for a couple days prior to making the switch to hi) but it is throwing hardware errors like mad.

No suggestions here - I only have one Cube but it works fine pointed at MultiMiner / bfgminer as a Stratum Proxy. About 2% HW errors. Where are you seeing these errors? What are the errors? It would help a lot of you could copy/paste information and screenshots rather than paraphrase.

So, for my first issue, on my Win7 machine, running Multi-Miner 2.6.2 and Catalyst 13.1 with my Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 I can hash at 325+ kh/s (Diamond HD 5830 @295kh/s), I upgraded to Multi-Miner 2.7.2 and my hash rate dropped down to 275kh/s at best and the Diamond HD 5830 was even lower. I have yet to try Multi-Miner 2.7.4 and considered upgrading but wanted to know if there was a file I could copy before hand for comparison just in case 2.7.4 drops my hash rate like 2.7.2 did.

I have updated to 2.7.4 and a drop of approx. 35-60kh/s total on my dual 5830 miner. I have since reverted back to 2.6.2 and now my Multi-Miner is not "Starting with Windows". Later I will install CCleaner and clean up my registry, maybe that will help MM not starting with windows. Not sure where to start for the kh/s rate drop.

The Cube is hashing away on hi-clock without any issues (I let it stabilize on lo-clock for a couple days prior to making the switch to hi) but it is throwing hardware errors like mad. No stales, very few rejects (under 2.5%) and all the chips check okay on the Cubes dashboard page. I am not sure if this coincides with the API error that is popping as well. I was able to troubleshoot MM, the Cube and my network enough to get it all working. I wouldn't doubt if the HW errors were due to my programming but hey, who knows. Any suggestions?

Still hashing away on hi-clock. Still throwing errors. Rejection rate <2.5%.
Multi-Miner starting crashing on this machine yesterday too. I forgot to ss/write down the error code/info, I will make sure to get that if/when MM crashes again.

Thanks all

I hope this means soon. Thanks so much for working on it.

Here's something you folks can play with. Note that it only works in the Scrypt-only mode currently. It also seems to take a while to scan all hardware with the DualMiner code in place.

This just just a preview - there is more to do before this will be released.

Profit is the goal but I cannot afford a $300 card. This allows me a bit more scrypt mining power now.
It's not like I am in it for the short term either. It is a long term investment for long term use.

For me it's easy to setup and maintain. It was also new and something to try out.
They work great, easy to use and for those that power costs is an issue they sip power especially in LTC only mode.
My only regret is that I did not have money to get more than one.

Yea, people said the same about the initial USB ASIC Miners, but I never understood it then either. If a product doesn't ROI, the experience is simply for "fun", and it's much more "fun" when you turn a profit on an operation.

Great job!

Yea, I don't see a reason to run it in dual mode either.

But will they even ROI? Even factoring in the power prices, unless you're paying over .25-.35 kw/h! Maybe I'm missing something obvious..
