Topic: OLD: BFGMiner 3.10.0: modular ASIC+FPGA, GBT+Strtm, RPC, Mac/Lnx/W64, AntU1, DRB - page 157. (Read 1193223 times)

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

I am soliciting some advice for the optimal .conf file config for BFL ASICS - I am bringing 8 Jalapenos online tomorrow night and have always ran my FPGA Singles with a rather vanilla .conf. (I know there are probably more optimum settings) With the Asics I want to get the maximum utility with them  - below is the conf  - I use with my 10 FPGA Singles

Thanks in advance for any input

Usually you can clock FPGAs/ASICs higher without damaging the chips themselves (overclocking), but getting instead logic errors resulting in things like this.
Since the overall hashrate is higher (desite the errors), it's usually considered "normal" to clock it to such a level (although 5% is quite a bit).
Unfortunately, for Block Erupters, there is zero software control available, so the only thing that can be done is try to cool it better.
It might also be possible that since their hashrate is about 10% higher than advertised, they simply declare them "good" even if there are actual defects that reduce the hashrate within that 10% - in which case there may be nothing you can do even with cooling.

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

thanks....

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"?


thanks.....
sorry for my english

Thanks a lot for this information. I was able to get my 6850 to work perfectly with bfgminer after doing this. I'm averaging 235 MH/s with the core clock at 925, and the memory clock at 300. It's also very stable. I've had it running for about 5 days now.

You might want to rephrase the original "compile from source using Homebrew", because it really isn't that obvious. "brew search bfgminer" is the first thing that pops to mind.
It was no problem to compile under 10.8. I don't have a 10.6 anymore, can't report on that.

As one of the people experiencing these 'crash' issues, I just wanted to mention that I've been running this experimental version for about 3 days straight now. 3 separate clusters. No issues so far. Still too early to conclude anything with certainty, but it *seems* to have solved the issues I've been having with anything post 2.10.x.

So, looking good so far!

Danke! Tak! Merci! I'll post back once the USB erupter arrives.

Right, though the VCP driver install should be automatic in most cases.

NO! This will break it.
-S \\.\COM1 but -S all is sufficient to probe every COM port

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)?

Thanks!

I've setup some mailing lists (email) for BFGMiner that hopefully can be useful:

• BFGMiner announcements: Notices of new releases only (only I can send here)
• BFGMiner support: Discussion of using BFGMiner, similar to how this forum thread it used - but without restrictive "newbie" posting
• BFGMiner development: To discuss the code side of BFGMiner, and coordinate third-party packaging prior to releases

All three lists have concealed member lists (only admins can see who subscribed), but will reveal your email when/if you decide to post to it.

Thanks:) uthash-dev installed, it works now.
Can you please add uthash-dev check to ./configure script? It will prevent to fail during make like it does right now.

As mentioned in the (updated) README, uthash-dev is now an external dependency.

thanks. I will try with 3.0.2

windows-build.txt is outdated. A contributor is working on bringing it up to date for 3.1.0; his current progress is in http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=drN7QHBV

Hello, someone with experience compiling in windows???

the error is when I ejecute the command "MAKE"
I paste below the command ./configure too and the jansson.pc file
please HELP and sorry for my english...
