BFL LS:
what goes wrong, what does this mean?
Code:
BFL 1a: Ran out of buffer space for results, discarding extra data
often after a time BFL LS get sick, stops and no restart; - only with unconnecting power and restart Bfgminer...

Oh, OK, so you're changing the terms, because classically a stratum proxy (like slush's one) allows a getwork client to mine on a stratum pool.  Wink
Slush's Stratum proxy refers only to the upstream protocol.
It supports both getwork and Stratum clients. Wink

So, back to the question - is the getwork proxy available on OpenWRT?
Should be.

That's cool, as long as I know what you're calling what.

The stratum proxy is fully supported on all platforms, including Win64.
It's only the getwork proxy that can't do Win64.

 Huh

There's a difference? 

Surely:
stratum proxy is for allowing getwork clients to mine on a stratum pool? 
getwork proxy is for allowing getwork clients to mine on a stratum pool?

Confused.  Huh
Stratum proxy is for allowing stratum clients to mine on stratum pool(s).
getwork proxy is for allowing getwork clients to mine on any pool(s).

Luke-Jr, have you any idea if/when you'll be adding the stratum proxy module to the OpenWRT version of BFGMiner?
IIRC, it should be there in 3.3.0?

OK, cool.  I didn't see anything specific in the READMEs about it being added, so assumed it was still not on OpenWRT, like it's still not on Win64 version.

I'll give it a spin sometime on OpenWRT...

./bfgminer: --http-port: unrecognized option
This means libmicrohttpd wasn't found when you ran configure.

I'm trying to run ASICMINER Block Erupter Blades with BFGminer.
I'm running xubuntu and I installed the libmicrohttpd as was required.
However when I type:
./bfgminer --http-port 8330

I get this error:

./bfgminer: --http-port: unrecognized option

What am I doing wrong?

Also what should I put on the Blade for address and password?

Thanks.

Request for ppcoin solo mining support.

I tried to solo mining with bfgminer, however, it returned with a error message:
Code:
 ./bfgminer: --coinbase-addr: Invalid address

which seems that bfgminer only supports bitcoin address and doesn't support ppcoin address.

Hello..

Using bfgminer and a jalapeno..

When I press  M to manage devices, I can then use up/down to select processor, but a couple times I did something to show all of them at once???  Anyone know how I did that or what is the command???

Thanks!

^^ perfect, thanks.. will go fix all my scripts.. Might want to update miner.php while you're at it to work with the API changes.



It already does. There is a $per_proc setting which controls how the data is displayed.

Luke-Jr:

Any reason why the extended-core information for BFL's (seeing all cores per Single, for example) went away from 3.2.90 to 3.3.0 via the API?

I used to get all 16 cores per single, now I see only summary information.


Per README.RPC...
Quote
API V2.0 (BFGMiner v3.3.0)

Removed API commands:
 'devdetail' - Use newer 'devdetails' for same information.

Modified API commands:
 'devs' - display status of each full device only (not processors)
 'pga' - lookup and display device by device (not processor) number
 'pgacount' - count only full devices (not processors)
 'pgaenable' - enable all processors for a numbered full device
 'pgadisable' - disable all processors for a numbered full device
 'pgaidentify' - choose first processor of numbered full device
 'pgaset' - choose first processor of numbered full device

Added API commands:
 'procs'
 'proc'
 'proccount'
 'procenable'
 'procdisable'
 'procidentify'
 'procset'

Hello all! I recently compiled bfgminer on my linux box. It's an old machine with a quite outdated video card. I'm doing this strictly as a learning experience, not for profit. That being said, I created an account at 50BTC. I issued the command

Code:
./bfgminer -o http://pool.50btc.com:8332 -u (my email address) -p (my 50btc password)

and then it appeared that it logged on successfully. However, it produced no mining results. I hit the M option and then tried both auto and all options and both times No Device Found. I'd like it to use my old video card. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

3.3.0 turns off the GPU by default.

Edit:- turns off the GPU by default if asic is found.
         Try your line:-./bfgminer -o http://pool.50btc.com:8332 -u (my email address) -p (my 50btc password) -S all

Take a look at the "read me" notes.
If your card is an older Nvidia then you will struggle.

is 50btc a getwork pool? 8332 is a getwork port.  If it is stratum pool try 3333 instead.

Are others seeing this kind of error flood after a reboot with BFSB hardware?:

Code:
 [2013-10-17 22:19:55] BSB 2af: bitfury_init_oldbuf: Giving up after 4 tries
 [2013-10-17 22:19:55] BSB 2ag: bitfury_init_oldbuf: Giving up after 4 tries
 [2013-10-17 22:19:55] BSB 2aj: bitfury_init_oldbuf: Giving up after 4 tries
 [2013-10-17 22:19:55] BSB 2aw: bitfury_init_oldbuf: Giving up after 4 tries
 [2013-10-17 22:19:55] BSB 1a: bitfury_init_oldbuf: Giving up after 4 tries

I can see the device/proc counter slowly increase in the top area. During 3-4 minutes the errors gradually stop, and all chips start working.

Not sure if this helps but i have noticed that if you go to far with the pencil mod ie up the voltage to much, it causes this to happen
Back the voltage off a bit and it goes away
