Correct. No reason is given. When enter is pressed it initializes the BFLs and begins mining just fine.

It only says "press enter to continue"? Nothing else (like a reason)?

I'm running 3.1.1 off a standard desktop pc on windoze 7 x64. The PC is feeding 1 BFL minirig SC and (4) BFL single SCs connected to a powered hub. The program runs great 99% of the time and keeps them all fed happily, but there are the occasional problems and I'd like the program to restart, which the timer does fine. Unfortunately whether I restart the program manually or the timer restarts the program, it pauses and waits for user input with the dialog "press enter to continue". I'm starting bfgminer.exe and not a .bat file as everything is set up in .conf.

I'm not aware of anything that behaves like that off-hand.
The only press enter I am aware of is when the pools are all down, in which case it causes BFGMiner to exit...
Can you elaborate on what you want changed?

Luke is there a way to stop BFGMiner.exe from displaying "press enter to continue" and waiting for user input to begin mining? This is preventing a watchdog timer from functioning. Thx.

Is there a way to install BFGminer via Tomato Optware?

I believe the AltiVec support was only for Mac OS X using some Apple-specific extensions.
I'd welcome patches to get it working on Linux, but it isn't really a priority for me to do myself unfortunately.

Yes 12.09

i've problem to build bfgminer-3.1.3 on Linux PPC (gcc-4.7.x) with AltiVec enabled as
sha256_altivec_4way.c seems to be broken.

here my full build log:

Attitude Adjustment?

Maybe you need to add more system memory as scrypt uses a lot.

TP-Link MR3020, AR71xx

I have had this same error after appr. 12h of mining.

well thats what i was thinking at first also
For that reason i made an account on a few pools but when i tried mining at these known pools
Guess what no messages at all just poof application stopped working
The program simply stops working instant it not even write a log file
But again the miners work fine on btc alike pools just when i try mining scrypt pools it gets killed

@bronan: i would check your solo mining server's config. the last line:
[2013-07-17 23:51:38] No suitable long-poll found for http://192.168.178.11:13809

leads me to believe your server may be misconfigured since it cant find an LP

Ofcourse i am solo mining which is not really uncommon you can see in the errors that it shows switching difficulty based on the network
but it does not matter if i put in a pool or my local server .... both crash the most annoying is that either bfgminer or cgminer runs
when i remove the scrypt and start mining on btc they both run fine
switch over to scrypt ...... pooof and disappear from the screen

i tried using abolute minimal parameters like --scrypt -I(2 up to 18)
or made the full command with each and every needed parameter for 7970 cards
at the moment i just want to use 2 of the 4 cards for mining because we have finally got some hot summer weather in the netherlands, but even if i select only one of the four it simply crash
no messages not any usefull hint just bfgminer/cgminer has stop working and thats it
i have no clue why this happens since it has worked in the paste very well with the same batch and also on scrypt i even have solo mined ltc for several months
Had found something which i thaught would help by adding that mining address in the config or adding a pool for confirmation but nope nothing works

You are mining for a server located on your local network?  192.168.xxx.xxx isn't a valid external internet address.

bfgminer.exe -D -T -d? -S all

after this message is given the miner crash
when i add a mining address it still crash
even if i add a so called mining pool to the list of pools in a config again bfgminer crash

post the output of your bfgminer command with -D -T appended

Well, I just heard about this miner the other day. I jsut installed it on my Mint laptop just to fool around and become familiar with the program.

Im not sure what its doing but its doing something. Cool.

Ive only had experience with cpuminer (minerd) which is really straightforward on Linux. Point, Aim, Shoot.

This seems really involved. But it seems like a ton of work went into this so as soon as I get my next payments on BTC Jam I will shoot a donation @ luke-jr
