in windows 7 the cmd window is locked when started from the exe - is there conf command to set the window size

Make it bigger. Or scroll the list with the up/down arrow keys.

If you really want to do this (I also recommend screen), you probably need to use --text-only and --real-quiet.

I recommend 'screen', and skip the '&'.

I had 14 devices attached, which all display - I attached a few more fpgas and the seem to all be hashing but i only see the first 14 devices - is there someway to force display in the dos window of all devices and their hashing info

hi!
question for linux savy. why is it that everytime i run "bfgminer &" and close the terminal it shuts down bfgminer? is there some way to keep it running?
is there some kind of remote gui to manage it when in & mode?

sorry but, download from here: https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer ??

I'm trying to run bfgminer (3.0.2) with my 30 erupters but I'm getting about 3-4% h/w errors.   I cool them in a specially designed cooling case.  The temperature on the sinks is abut 24-26C.

Here is a screenshot with stats:

My question is:  In your experience, what is the root cause of h/w errors?  More importantly, can it be improved in s/w?

You'll probably have better success working with the latest git code.
I posted binaries a few days ago with scrypt CPU mining supported as well.

Hello. I´m trying to compile 3.0.2 on windows but it´s imposible to me.  
I would like to have the BFG 3.0.2 compiled with the --enable-cpu and --enable-scrypt.

I know that only CPU mining is a waste of time, but it´s for testing. I'm trying to test CPU and GPU mining (only for FUN and for make diferent testing).

someone have the BFG 3.x.x with "--enable-scrypt --enable-cpu"?

BFGminer running for 2 months without issues. Updated to AMD drivers 13.4 today. Now it's crashing on startup everytime. Using AMD HD6850 and Windows 7 x64 SP1 + all windows updates.

Command line: --gpu-threads 1 --queue 0 --intensity=d --gpu-dyninterval 16 --failover-only

I deleted the precompiled kernel and it's not making a new one. There's nothing written to the console.

Both 3.0.2 and 2.10.8 crash in the same manner.

EDIT:

Fixed. I am leaving this here for those who end up having my issue.

-Uninstall all ATI software.
-Restart.
-Create a batch file with the following and run it:

@C:
@cd C:\Windows\System32
del SlotMaximizerAg.dll
del SlotMaximizerBe.dll
del amdocl64.dll
del OpenCL.dll
del OpenVideo64.dll
del OVDecode64.dll
@Cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
del SlotMaximizerAg.dll
Del SlotMaximizerBe.dll
del amdocl.dll
del OpenCL.dll
del OpenVideo.dll
del OVDecode.dll
@rmdir C:\ProgramData\AMD\KDB /S /Q

-Reinstall ATI 13.1 drivers.

It's not that simple or binaries would already be available. You need the right libraries as well, which is why Homebrew or an installer are necessary. I think, either way, you're going to have a hard time getting it going on 10.6. There's a Mac app and installer in beta here, but it requires 10.8.

Ok, I believe this problem should be fixed in the latest git code.

For Windows testers... Win32 and Win64 binaries are built (drop them in a directory with 3.0.2 DLLs)

Ok, I'm a relative neophyte regarding ASICs. Up to this point have been mining on GPUs. So I need a bit of hand-holding step-by-step here I'm getting a USB block erupter and if I want to mine with BFGMiner under Win7 x64 , to my knowledge this is what I need to do:

1. install SiLabs VCP driver
2. run bfgminer -S all [mining pool parameters]

Questions:

1. do I need WinUSB driver too (and zadig to install it)?

2. how to I specify specific com ports (-S 1 for COM1 or is it -S COM1)?
