That's great news!

Check to see if you have a bfgminer.conf in the same directory as the bfg application.

If you do, you must have save the configuration at one point or another...

If so, you then have two options:

• Make your configuration changes in the .conf file or
• Delete the .conf file and work from your command line or batch file

I personally work from the .conf file

Support for the single-chip thumbs is completed and submitted to Luke as a pull-request for 4.0:

https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer/tree/feature/dualminer-support

Support for the 5-chip miners is under way as well.

I know that they are working on DualMiner support right now so hopefully the five chip units as well.
nwools has already shown some screen shots over in the MultiMiner thread about it.
I'm looking forward to it.

+1

very interested in this.

Luke are you considering adding support for the gridseed 5 chip miner?

It is selling like hotcakes but has rather poor software support. bfgminer would be magic...

Could someone post a brief tutorial on the different multi-pool options in bfgminer?

In my case, I have (4) pools I want to divide my hash rate into.  Three of them are supporter of my coin, so to show them support, and do so evenly, I'm trying to pump work to each.  The Fourth is my "for profit" pool.

I figured "--balance" was the best, and although I normally see some hashes in each pool, per their "Dashboards" and "My Worker" screens, work seems to roll between them, almost in waves.  Not sure if that is bfgminer, or MPOS reporting though.

I'm clueless how "--quota" would work, but it sounds interesting.

I thought I might be able to do a "--pool-priority", setting them all the same, but not sure if that would accomplish anything.

"--rotate" appears like it would do the job, but would spike each pool in turn, and I'd prefer to give each an even load.

And there there are more complex thoughts, like running bfgminer in a loop and use "--shares" to force balancing (and/or favor my fourth pool a bit with say, half, of the shares)

Of the (5) mining machines I'm working with, they vary from single GPU to triple GPU, and I'd really like to have them setup pretty much the same.  e.g.  Not running multiple  instances of bfgminer and dedicating GPUs to pools.

Any thoughts?

Sounds to me like X is finally running!  You need a windows manager, I use BlackBox when I need to test a Linux-QT wallet, but most of the time I just SSH in.

Good news, if you have X up, temperatures should start reporting.

So, last night, installed the aticonfig stuff, as well as the lspci.  Thought I configured everything correctly, but apparently I didnt'.  Now I get a black screen when I start my machine up saying the resolution is greater than 1280x1024.  I SSH'ed into it to try to change the settings, but still had no luck.  Maybe I'm just a squirrel, but I seem to have broken my machine...

You need to fan cool the miners.

I can't seem to limit my Antminer U1's speed any more.
It looks like the always goes to 2.1 GHh/s, no matter if I start them with 0781 or any other value. Then they overheat, and gets reconnected.

Any idea what can be wrong here ? I have 6 devices connected to a 10 port hub, powered by a 5V, 4A PSU brick. Even if I disable 2 of them in bfgminer I have the same problem.

hey luke,

i have 4 bifury sticks and want start one.
I use the following command line, just to bifury to start a stick, but it always restart all, this is a fault or am I doing something wrong?

bfgminer -o stratum.triplemining.com:3334 -u -p x -S bifury:\\.\COM15 -s 30 -Q 5 -E 60 --retries 1 --no-submit-stale --temp-target 100 --temp-cutoff 120

I tried running mixed GPU and CPU mining in a single instance of bfgminer (-S opencl:auto -S cpu:auto --scrypt).  It appeared to be working fine with all devices found.

After running for 24 hours or so, I noticed the CPUs had not accepted a single share all all of them (across 4 machines) showed dozens of HW errors.  Not a single one had accepted a share.

I found that strange and thought it might be worth reporting.  Should be easy to repeat if anyone has any ideas. 

FYI - just looking to do this because 1)  It should work and 2)  It would be nice to have one less process to monitor (e.g. minerd).  I recognized that all of my CPUs combined don't come up to a single GPU, but that is not the point.

Thoughts?

Presuming your running Linux, yeah, that should work from Root.  You may need to install a package to get lspci, but that is not as critical as the amdconfig (or aticonfig - they are the same).

As soon as I get home and back from the gym i'll hit this up.  I just have to go into terminal and type that in I take it?

Just wanted to ask if anybody knows if cgminer has already been pached for this to work correctly?

OK - lets start with the basics:

"lspci | grep VGA"
"amdconfig --list-adapters"

The first should respond with a line per adapter and the second should respond with model type information per adapter.

If they don't, then the OS isn't configured quite right (and that happens a lot to me).

I was using that, but when starting bfgminer, I got an errror that said that there weren't any available cards to mine with.  I know 5450's work, I've got a few of them just cruising away...but I think I'm missing a driver somewhere.  Not sure how to download and install it with Linux.  Still an linux-noob

Patches welcome.

So, nVidia's new Maxwell cards (the GTX 750Ti is the first one available) do 245kH at less than 60W power consumption.  Is there any chance of bfgminer incorporating CUDA mining?  CUDAMiner seems a bit of a bodge of pooler's CPUMiner.  

To quote Tom's:
Today, four GM107-based cards in a mining rig should be able to outperform a Radeon R9 290X for less money, using less power.
