What font is your console using?

Is it this？
http://i41.tinypic.com/2h3pixi.png

and my system is win7 64bit Simplified Chinese version

I'm sorry to say that I cannot read Chinese Sad

Can you figure out what the font is, and whether I might be able to download it somewhere?
As a temporary workaround (but let's keep trying to get it fixed!), you can use --no-unicode

The font title is Terminal （TrueType），the file name in the win folder is vga936.fon.
I found that I changed the settings such as GPU intensity this buy will appear.

Hi Luke-Jr
I've just migrated to BFGMiner 3.1.4 Grin

Previously I was mining on GUIminer. Sad

With one GPU miner on GUI my hash rate was 500 Mh/s
With 2 miners I had a combined hash of 550 Mh/s

Currently BFGMiner is giving me 520 Mh/s

Can BFGMiner run 2 miners in one process?

Luke, is bfgminer throttling work based on BFL device temperature?

I'm seeing 85-86C on one BFL device and was wondering if bfgminer has a logic to throttle work, sort of like GPU
temp control.

The --temp-* options work fine for FPGAs/ASICs (with temperature support).

Thanks Luke.

I've tried

"temp-cutoff" : "86",
"temp-target" : "79",
"temp-overheat" : "82",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",

but when the temperature reached 86 C on one BFL device, that device was not disabled. Do I have to setup any other "auto" parameters for temp-cutoff to work?

Shouldn't.. I'll make a note to test it.

Under Windows, right click on your miner window header and go down to DEFAULTS. Change the default window size. Close and re-open your miner window. Up and down arrows work to scroll the list if it's too long, too....

Thanks. I got it.

Ok looking for an option to rescan my usb miners to start the miners that didn't start when i loaded bfgminer.. Kinda like a plug n mine option. and yes already looked over the readme file

bfgminer-rpc "devscan|erupter:all"
Follow README.RPC for setup on the miner.

Is there a program out there i can monitor my BTC balance without the need of my wallet.dat ? A nice gui program would work

No. It's not possible to see a balance without wallet.dat (or equivalent, for other clients).

Thanks Luke. It was bitminer, I removed it from my failover list.

Odd, I have BitMinter as my failover and it works just fine for me Shocked

Out of curiosity. Is there option to manually pause work on all devices [Pause All/Unpause All]? For example when resetting router, so BFG won't start hooping to other (fail-over) pools.

This could be a silly question but how do I make my bfgminer screen bigger to accommodate for a few new added erupters?

Since you have a Mini Rig SC, I was wondering if it has a built in router/Linux like Avalon or you connect the 8 long boards to an internal USB hub and then connect that hub to a PC?

It has a Nexus7 builtin, but you can plug the USB into a Windows system just fine.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Can one PC handle three mini rigs?

If it's powerful enough (which really isn't that much).

Thanks Luke. I got it up and running with 3.1.4. Disconnected Nexus 7 and hooked it up to an Anker hub.
Used the same SiLabs drivers as I used for Erupters

Well, that's not possible.. BFL devices use FTDI chips, not SiLabs

I'd guess it autoinstalled the driver.

Quote from: ?? on ??

1) API returns 128 PGA devices (~4GH/s each). I guess that is each BFL asic chip. Is this right? I expected 8 devices ~60 GH/s each.
Just like the ones displayed in the main window.

That's correct.
You can change the display to show all the processors too (D, M keystroke)

Quote from: ?? on ??

2) The hardware errors counts for each device might be incorrect. HW > Accepted

I'd guess you're mining at a difficulty higher than 1.
Use the % shown to see rate of bad nonces.

[2013-08-08 00:37:45] pool 2 JSON stratum auth failed: [
  20,
  "Unknown method",
  null

This looks like an incomplete response from a pool that doesn't support transparent/secure stratum.
Pretty normal, in that case, and shouldn't be displayed higher than debug mode...

Or use a decent AV program (not ESET). I've never had an issue with Microsoft Security Essentials, and I've been using it since beta.

Anyone else all of a sudden start having their ESET or other virus program start flagging BFG? Was alwasy good, never had a problem before (but cgminer would get picked up). Now here within the last week or so ESET is flagging BFG.

IMO, "antivirus" software that takes the easy way out by flagging commonly abused software as more than merely a warning, is itself malware.
They should be looking for the virus/trojan itself, not the common software they use.

Sadly i found many other private clients from being infected by a bfgminer/cgminer/minerd instance
Hidden in a self starting proces called adobe, so it looks some botnet builders are using the miner to run them illegal

These unknowing customers have no clue that its not normal that their gpu is blazing like mad so they complain and ofcourse some specialist find that its caused by the secretly installed miners.

If this is done by people they know or by botnet owners or usage of illegal software i do not know.
Ofcourse some of them report their findings to the av companies, and to be honest even though its annoying they are right

But fact is that this causes all anti virus makers to flag the miners as nasty software.

They aren't right. BFGMiner is not malware. The botnet is.
Flag that, not the legit software it's abusing.

I got my jalapeno hashing on bfgminer 3.1.4 with the host pc gpu disabled but the gpu temp. does not return to the normal idle temp. How can I take it completely out of the equation so it doesn't leech for want of a better word.. Obliviously I want to still have the gpu enabled on the pc to play games etc.. Thanks..................... I tried the bitminter client and the gpu is completely idle , before with the BFGminer I was using an extra 50 watts from the leeching gpu.........I'm sure there is a way around this.........

I can confirm that having the cm1 miners and BE within the same host (raspberry pi) causes the pi to hang requiring power cycling to reset the unit with bfgminer 3.14. I cannot ssh back to the pi after it has crashed requiring a power cycle to reboot.

Would this problem be addressed on the next software version?
