Luke-jr, I have a problem with bfgminer on Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit builds), which appeared recently (possibly after I installed monitoring software for UPS units). It appeared on both machines, running about 60 BEs each.

The problem is that when bfgminer starts, I would get

Code:
Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COMx

where 'x' is some random port (it tends to be in the range 1-15, but will sometimes pick ports in the higher range).

The port will then light solid green and will not hash.

Restarting bfgminer will yield another "failed" port. Sometimes all ports will get recognised and will not light green, but then all miners will blink a little and one port will light solid green again. I have double-checked and have enough power for all miners. I also tried with a smaller subset.

My request: could you for ports that give that "privileges" error, make a retry at a later point. It seems that time-out for failure is too short or something...

CCNA: There i fixed the internet.
on a side note regarding pool priorities. 0 is default and 1-? lower is higher or reverse?

What do you all think about changing the 2nd or 3rd hashrate to be based on nonces found adjusted by accepts/total shares?
Basically the idea is to get a "hashrate after hw errors and rejects" with better accuracy.

So it would show "Instant",  "Average",  &  "Pool + Error Corrected" ?
Right.

Go for it!!!!!!!!!!

Testing/comments please

"bfgminer" main branch ("3.2.90") now has stratum proxy support that could use some testing.
From my release notes draft: "Support for proxy virtual devices has been extended to include the stratum protocol when the upstream pool selected is also stratum and supplies sufficient extranonce2 space. If the upstream pool does not meet this criteria, stratum clients will be disconnected and new ones will fail to subscribe. You can take advantage of this to failover to the getwork proxy. Support for upstream getwork pools is impossble, but GBT is planned."

I've also put together a "rpc_fulldev" branch with some proposed RPC changes (removal of redundant "devdetail" method, and splitting processor-detail-level into new methods to make the original ones more cgminer-like). Testing and comments appreciated.

I'll be back to working on bitfury code tomorrow.

That sounds a very nice idea!

would give me a better idea of actual hashrate

can BFL Singles be overclocked and what are safe temps to aim for if they can be?


I`m not sure they can, but there is a thread re firmware hacking of jallies.

Hi Luke-Jr

Is work_division enabled by default in 3.2.1 ?

Edit:- and will it work with devices other than Icarus?

Edit:- Found it

How does BFGMiner compute the perecentage of Rejects and Hardware Errors?  I have tried figuring them out manually (R/A and HW/A) but somehow, the quotients don't match the indicated % values.  Also, why is "R" expressed as N+N.  Are these numbers added to get the total "R"?

Edit:  Oh, I see.  Never mind.  Thanks just the same.

I RUN IT ON OPENWRT BUT HOW CAN I ADD MY POOL , user passward

USE THE TUI LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.  OR EDIT BFGMINER.CONF AND ADD THEM THERE!  LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

-G is deprecated, but still works for backward compatbility.
You can use -S opencl:noauto
I plan to disable it by default in 3.3.

How do I setup 3.2.1 to only use my ASIC USB miners and not my graphics card?

I am using Windows 7 x64.

The settings I found online are for the older version of Bfgminer and don't work on 3.2.1 Sad

Thanks,


The simplest command line for erupters is:-  bfgminer.exe -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u MINER -p PASSWORD -G -S all

-G stops your GPU
-S all     finds your erupters

The need for other switches are listed in the README file

I see to recall that -G doesn't work on the 3.2.1 for Windows x64, when I check the commands /? it doesn't have -G listed.
