NEW VERSION 3.2.0, AUGUST 30 2013

This release is the first of a new stable-focused 3.2.x branch. Many new improvements have been added, plus a merge from cgminer 3.4.0. BFGMiner 3.1.x is now discontinued, but bugfixes have been backported to 3.0.7 and 2.10.13.

Does not compile Sad

My system: x86/Ubuntu/Linaro
./configure: all disabled except bitforce and ztex.

I'm using the source from the tgz in the first post.

Looks like a very old (pre-2011) libmicrohttpd.
Can you confirm the version?

Code:

grep Version $(pkg-config --variable=pcfiledir libmicrohttpd)/libmicrohttpd.pc

It's Version: 0.4.6

So you are right, it's a very old version, but you get it with apt-get. Tomorrow I will try the latest one.

Do people still use load balancing mode? When? Unreliable pools/connections?
I never understood the benefit of running in load balancing mode.
If you are on non-PPS payout, what is the benefit of load balancing if you are connected to reliable/fast pools.
I fail to see any.

The 'benefit' of load balancing is less short term variance; you are spreading work across a much larger hashrate base.

If I spread my hashrate among 3 pools each with 30Thps, that would be the equivalent of mining at a single 90Thps pool ... which provides 1/3 the variance of pointing all my hashrate at a single 30Thps pool. Same expected payout in either case, just less variance when load-balancing.

I put 'benefit' in quotes because not everyone will agree that less variance is a 'benefit'. Most would; otherwise they'd be solo mining.

Is there a way to get the current share difficulty from the API? Would be useful for some monitoring tools.

The "pools" method has this info per-pool.
I guess someone should add a way to determine which pool(s) are actively in use?

Cool.

"Last Share Difficulty" would give me that info, right?

Sortof. It won't work until a share is found at the difficulty.
Also, keep in mind that it's possible for devices to be hashing different difficulty works, around changes.

Quote from: ?? on ??

To find out which pool is connected, I'd have to walk the list from priority 0-N and check which one is alive.
The one with the lowest priority and alive status is the one that is being connected to?

Only in Failover mode.

Weird, new version picks up 4 of my Block Erupters as BES and the other 7 as BEE. Hashing seems unaffected. Huh

Running with only -S erupter:all -G parameter.

Only thing I can think is different is there are 4 older ones (non-CE/ROHS marked) and the other 7 are only a few weeks old?

NEW VERSION 3.2.0, AUGUST 30 2013

This release is the first of a new stable-focused 3.2.x branch. Many new improvements have been added, plus a merge from cgminer 3.4.0. BFGMiner 3.1.x is now discontinued, but bugfixes have been backported to 3.0.7 and 2.10.13.

Human readable changelog:

modminer, x6500 & ztex: Completely removed bitstreams from BFGMiner distribution, and replaced with instructions on where to find them officially. OpenWrt users should note that the repositories still include packages, but under new names.
New embedded getwork server to drive Block Erupter Blades and similar devices off BFGMiner. Instructions in README.ASIC. Currently not included in OpenWrt or Windows binaries.
Fixed stratum pool-switch crash regressed in BFGMiner 3.1.0.
Added stratum support for --request-diff by attempting to send a mining.suggest_target notification to pools when connecting.
erupter & icarus: Various optimizations to catch racing nonces, and otherwise reduce hardware errors.
Enable simple notifications for idle/sick/dead devices via --cmd-idle, --cmd-sick and --cmd-dead options that execute commands when the events occur.
Support for probing/hotplugging new devices from the TUI ([M]anage, plus key).
Simple multicast RPC detection. cg
Imported Aaron D. Gifford's fast SHA256 implementation (used for share validation on CPU). cg
Due to random font issues, Unicode is disabled by default. Use --unicode to enable it.

Full changelog:

cpu: sse2_64: Rename sha256_init to sha256_init_sse2 to avoid conflict with new sha2.c
httpsrv: Some older versions of libmicrohttpd need stdint.h included first
make-release: Include libmicrohttpd-10.dll if it exists
Fixes column alignment in decimal fields. Workaround for printf rounding up when formatting decimals into limited width.
New hidden --unittest option. No longer runs unit tests at startup by default, for faster startup. Added unit test for width printing of decimal numbers.
Bugfix: configure: More fixing BSD sed syntax for curses header search
Bugfix: configure: More fixing BSD sed syntax for libusb header search
README: Update solo mining docs
erupter: Continue searching a job until the end, even if an earlier result is found

icarus: Avoid sending a new job if the nonce found was for one before the current job anyway
icarus: Double-buffer work to solve nonces found before work change takes effect
icarus: Abstract nonce processing
Bugfix: icarus: Avoid trying to submit 0 on comms error
icarus: Skip unnecessary nonce memcpy
icarus: Make state->last_work a pointer and store it on the heap

Bugfix: Fix BSD sed syntax for curses header search
Bugfix: configure: Really fix BSD sed syntax for libusb header search
README.RPC: Mention multicast detection
README: Include --mcast-* options in usage
Use ccan's standard char* set/show functions for --api-mcast-{addr,code}
Bugfix: RPC: Use the same mcast code in reply, and log it correctly
API mcast only reply to remote IP's that are allowed access
Initial API Multicast response v0.1 to find cgminer APIs
Check for cnx_needed on each loop through wait_lp_current.
Return positive for cnx_needed when no_work is true.
Add no_work bool to set when we are in an underrun situation
Reorder support names alphabetically.
We don't want to continue into the hash_pop function if the getq is frozen.
Carve out the unused portions of sha2 implementation.
Import Aaron D. Gifford's fast sha256 implementation.
Use cloned work when finding avalon results since another thread can discard the work item while it's in use.
Provide a variant of find_work_bymidstate that returns a clone of the found work.
Use timespecs on windows as cgtimer_t to capitalise on the higher resolution clock changes.
Abstract out the conversion of system time to an lldiv_t in decimicroseconds.
Use our own gettimeofday implementation on windows for it to be consistent across ming builds and higher resolution.
Provide cgtimer_sub helper functions.
Provide cgtimer_to_ms helper functions.
Rename cgsleep_prepare_r as cgtimer_time to get time in cgtimer_t format and call cgsleep_prepare_r as a macro for cgtimer_time
TimeBeginPeriod and TimeEndPeriod do not add significant overhead when run the entire time for cgminer so avoid trying to maintain balanced numbers of them for specific time calls to simplify code.
Replace all references to the old n*sleep functions with the equivalent cgsleep_*s replacements.
timeGetTime uses huge resources on windows so revert to using timevals for its implementation of cgtimer_t
Quotient/remainder error in ms division.
Provide cgtimer_to_timeval helper functions.
Provide a timeval_to_cgtime helper function to reuse values.
Simplify cgsleep code for windows by using a typedef for cgtimer_t that resolves to clock resolution, using that internally.
On windows use the higher accuracy timegettime function to really get 1ms clock and timer accuracy.
Fix missed endtimeperiod in overrun timer on windows.
Make cgsleep_us_r take an int64_t for us.
Make the cgsleep functions build on windows.
Set high resolution timing on windows within the cgsleep functions.
Provide reentrant versions of cgsleep functions to allow start time to be set separately from the beginning of the actual sleep, allowing scheduling delays to be counted in the sleep.
Make the nmsleep and nusleep functions use the new cgsleep functions internally till functions are migrated to the new cgsleep API.
Add a ms_to_timespec helper function, and create a cgsleep_ms function that uses absolute timers with clock_nanosleep to avoid overruns.
Add rt lib linkage to enable use of clock_nanosleep functions with older glibc.
Add a timeraddspec helper function.
Provide a us_to_timespec helper function.
Provide a us_to_timeval helper function.
Add helper functions to convert timespec to timeval and vice versa.

bitforce: Make voltages available to RPC
bitforce: Save voltages as array of longs internally
Bugfix: Clear device bad nonces when zeroing stats
cpu & opencl: Defer RUNONCE to actual autodetection, so they can be added once after startup

Raspian is just a Debian Wheezy port that uses hardware floating point instead of software floating point. Don't know what you do if you're using Arch - some crazy pacman command with a dozen flags probably...

Nope.

http://www.phacks.net/how-to-use-gnu-screen/

As he said - no - it's a console type utility that works great with SSH. And I would think it's already installed in Debian. If not, I guess
that something like "sudo apt-get install screen" would be all you would need to do if it's not already there.

Ok, great thanks to you both. I have never used that before.
It's not debian, but that shouldn't cause problems.

I just don't know how to ensure that the bfgminer process won't be terminated when I logout my ssh session. I tried backgrounding the process which does background it, but still gets killed upon logout.

What does everyone else do?

I always run BFGMiner in a GNU Screen session.
BASH also lets you disown background programs.

Okay I can see that the opensuse package download system d/l'd the 3.0 version and I had the 3.1.4 on Ubuntu..

I'm still new to Linux in Windows I would uninstall old version but Linux does not seem to go that way.

Do I just Manually install 3.1.4?

I had BFGminer running my Erupters on my Ubuntu machine and I just switched to an OpenSuse machine and it's not working...

lsusb list all the erupters.

Any ideas?

Also I'm installing Bitcoin-Qt on the new machine now (takes a while) and the Ubuntu machine had it already. Is that necessary for it to run?

btw it opens BFGminer and tries to use the cpu's

I've tried all the variations of "./bfgminer -o http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u XXXXXX -p XXXXXX -S All" ie. -S erupter:all and the timing settings and no go.
