Running on Windows on a Toshiba laptop with an ATI Radeon HD 6520G.

Can't get either version (stable or 3.0) to work, period. Starts and hangs immediately after I put in the URL/username/password for the pool. Tried 4-5 times with 3 different pools. No dice.

Normal hash rates for this laptop using cgminer are in the 30 MHash/s range (yes, slow, I know, but it's what I've got). Am looking at getting an ASIC, but haven't committed yet. Would love some software which works for the ASIC that I can just switch settings for.

Is there a super-verbose logging mode that might help, that I could PM you the results, to kinda see if the problem surfaces?

Next time check README... Wink

I`m new user of bfgminer.
I just compiled it on xubuntu 12.04 (cat 13.3beta + APP 2. Cool

with --enable-scrypt to mine LTC.
My oldschool 5870 wont mine at all. My brand new Gigabyte 7970 SOC mine, with 420Khasy with 30% of HW error.
When i try to put any other options than --shaders, i have (core dump) error :/
When i try to mine BTC - (core dump) error

any ideas ??

EDIT:
It seems that my old rig has just 1GB of ram, witch is a bit less than recomended/needed.
I`ll upgrade in next 5h.

Just an FYI: After my recent bfgminer 3.0.0 crash of a few days ago on bitminter, I decided to point 3 separate miners to bitminter to see if it would happen again. Last night, I had a crash again. But only with 3.0.0; 2.99.1 worked fine. Here is what I had:

miner1: bitminter, bfgminer 3.0.0 win7/64, 15 fpga devices. Crashed overnight.
miner2: bitminter, bfgminer 2.99.0 win7/64, 15 fpga devices (identical to miner1). No crash.
miner3: bitminter, bfgminer 3.0.0 win7/64, 2 fpga devices. Crashed overnight.

Is the core code for a basic GPU miner different than cgminer? I thought there was a lot of overlap in the code bases between the two projects, but honestly have no real idea. I did try 3.0.0 last night though and have to say for the same .conf I used in cgminer I seem to have a higher long-term average hashing speed (not a huge amount, but noticeable).

I've been mining in failover mode which seem to work great most of the time.

I set pool 0 to Eligius, and it will mine while it can connect to this pool, then it fails over to what seems to be the first pool in the list below pool 0 that reponds.

This works out great for me and I like it. However, when I have more than 5 pools in the list, when I use the [P] option to list them, I cannot see all the pools, just the last 5.

It would be nice if you could include a --- Pool 0-4 - hit any key to display the next 5 pools--- option or something... just a thought

I get an error when tried to build bfgminer 2.10.6 or 3.0.0 with MingGW on Windows. I have all dependencies and successfully build BFG 2.10.5 from source.
Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

Code:

 error: @CPPFLAG_JANSSON_STATICLIB@: No such file or directory
error: @CPPFLAG_JANSSON_STATICLIB@: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libblkmaker_jansson_0.1_la-blkmaker_jansson.lo] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Admin/bfgminer-3.0.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2

This suggests a broken jansson install - please find your jansson.pc file and PM me a copy (it should be small and plaintext) so I can add a workaround.

How can I get crash logs to you from windows?

Unfortunately, I don't know any way to get useful information from Windows. Sad

Bummer. Would having two mining rigs mine for the same btc address on eligius cause issues?

Core dumps and/or backtraces would be very helpful to debugging any crashes. Did the 2.99.x versions work stable for those experiencing this?

I ran it a while with "-ggdb -O0" and the debug output, but it was a lot slower than otherwise, so I removed it. I did get a core dump though afterward, I hope it points you in the right direction:

NEW VERSION 3.0.0, APRIL 5 2013

Please note that libcurl 2.79.0 has a socket leak with request failures, which can lead to BFGMiner running out of file descriptors and/or crashing if you have a dead pool! All older and newer versions of libcurl should be fine.

You mean 7.29.0, right?

Should there be a git tag for the 3.0.0 release? I don't see one.

Forgot to push the tags to GitHub, sorry. Should be there now.

It's a fork of cgminer, isn't it?

It began as a fork of cgminer (a CPU/GPU miner), but not to be confused with the current cgminer, which has become a fork of BFGMiner for trolling reasons.

Just installed from ppa (ubuntu 12.04):

bfgminer -n
[2013-04-06 20:11:28] Failed to load OpenCL library, no GPUs usable
[2013-04-06 20:11:28] 0 GPU devices max detected

Do older versions work? Can you run:

Code:

bfgminer -D -d?

Sorry, It was a false alarm Sad

I was tweaking two equipments via ssh and I installed the program in the wrong one

The program works ok. It's a fork of cgminer, isn't it?

Thanks for your quick reaction.
