I have 2 antminer u2's I'm running but I would like to clock each one individually
and set the parameters in the conf file.

I'm sure my syntax is wrong and hope someone can steer me right.
A few pages back a poster shows some examples of it on linux which is what I'm going off of.
I'm on windows but it shouldn't matter if I get the syntax correct?

Default working config file shows

Code:

"scan" : [
"amu:all"
],
"set-device" : [
"antminer:clock=x0A01"

So I edited it to reflect this

Code:

"scan" : [
"amu:\\\\.\\COM5"
],
"set-device" : [
"antminer:clock=x0A01"

works like it should, it launches and runs the device on com5 at the speed specified.

The two issues I'm having is adding the 2nd device under scan seems to break
and attempting to change the syntax under set device breaks it no matter how I edit it.
The syntax I was attempting
"antminer:\\\\.\\COM5:clock=x0A01"

So basically I edited the conf file to look like this and it won't run...

Code:

"scan" : [
"amu:\\\\.\\COM5"
"amu:\\\\.\\COM7"
],
"set-device" : [
"antminer:\\\\.\\COM5:clock=x0A01"
"antminer:\\\\.\\COM7:clock=x0B81"

I'm sure it's stupid like extra quotations or something.. Sad

So, I caught steal on some ASIC Blades V2 and thought I'd try my hand at mining. I've been able to successfully setup mining_proxy on BTCGuild but at the encouragement of some new friends I've met in the community I thought I would try some other mining platforms and was told bfgminer was the way to go. After a day of research I finally discovered that although bfgminer supports ASIC Blades, it doesn't do so natively in the downloads I found, and needs to be compiled. So, naturally I start working from the windows-build.txt being on a Win64 platform. Everything was going fine all the way down through every single step. Except for the last one. "./compile". Each time I removed every single download, reinstalled everything and walks through the steps, I would get stuck at:

checking whether HASH_ITER is declared... no
configure: error: Could not find HASH_ITER - please install uthash-dev 1.9.4+

Ok, so I backed up the latest version of utash-dev in the \include folder and finally found a 1.9.4 version and exported it there. still, no joy. Has anyone else come across this? If so, were you able to overcome the issue and how did you do it?

however, i noticed: out of the 64 chips total, 64 were recognized however only 60 were hashing/returning nonces.

to rule out hardware state, i power cycled and tried again. same thing.

to see if the Gen 2 detection was the culprit or something in between i did the following.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer bfgminer-nxt-2 && cd bfgminer-nxt-2

git checkout a355ac63b5671abd7a373151b683cd4e6be9ae2d //known solid, been running for months

git cherry-pick 9d647767620ef121452db7f1ebf1d6be524ea4d8 //added Rev.2 detection/

git cherry-pick 61a2b9aacb4ff779d8c5cd29c9eab3e346aeb8be //fixed hashrate reporting for Rev.2 chips

./autogen.sh

CFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --without-libusb --without-hidapi

make -j2

sudo ./bfgminer -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -O user:pass --set BFY:osc6_bits=55 --set
BFY:baud=500000

this resulted in a version of my previous stable build with the addition of the Rev.2 detection and reporting. Lo and behold the same 4 chips that were not returning results before, were NOT returning results with this modified version of my stable.

Can you pastebin a debuglog?

Yes gimme a little while.

Does anyone know the command arguments to use with Multiminer to mine with both gridseed & GPU?

I've tried all sorts of different combinations and can only seem to get one or the other mining ie both are detected but only the GPU or Gridseeds mine Huh

I'd like to use BFGMiner as the stratum proxy for all my hardware - I'd like to reduce all the machines separately connecting to the internet - and see if it improves my accepteds/lost/dupes/stales

Antminer x2 & Avalon x1 connects to the machine running the proxy ok - though it doesn't seem to show the full hashrate on the proxy machine.

My old Raspberry Pi rig runnings ASICs of a USB hub seems to have an issue
Whenever I point it at [Proxy Machine]192.168.2.x:3333 just like with the other H/W it produces one of the following errors and crashes out on the RaspberryPi:

Code:

SSM: Not using a stratum server upstream!

Code:

SSM: Failed to subdivide upstream stratum notify!

I've recompiled BFGMiner 3.10.0 with all the options as far as I'm aware on the on the RPi. I've even ensured the API interface it active on all machines:

Code:

bfgminer --scan noauto --stratum-port 3333 -o stratum+tcp://[pool] -u [user] -p x --api-listen --api-port 4028 --api-allow W:127.0.0.1, --log 5 --scan opencl:noauto

Not sure where else to look - as searching the internet just takes me to the github source documents
What options have I missed? The only related thing I did find was about 'extranonces2 space' which I don't understand.

Any suggestions would be lovely! Cheesy

Thanks, i got a socket connection refused...

Last time i did it i had to prt it to a file because it just showed me the ant's amu0-amu51 and their assigned com ports then it just exited..

I have a couple of ants that are acting up.. i swapped them out on the hub and it's the port not the ant, so i'm thinking it might be a conflict between ports.

I want to assign it a different port to make sure..

thanks again.

With BFGminer in win7 how can i see the associated devices assigned com ports?

I found the info 3 months ago and bookmarked it but that link is dead... Sad

This was done via the command line..

TIA.

Lately I've been having weird issues with bfgminer mostly when the connection with eligius drops - if at some point the pool disconnects then after the reconnect or switch to another pool my miners just never start hashing again.

Saw this in the log today:

Am I doing something possibly wrong? Or in the alternative - which debug logs/options should I turn on to get more details for further troubleshooting?

Try updating from git. I believe I just fixed this earlier tonight.

just recently did what i call a -next compile, from git source HEAD.

the TLS support would NOT allow connecting to stratum.btcguild.com:3333

performed

Code:

git revert 6520d158eba3bcff1b6e0343951ff38437ffea80 -m 1

to revert the merge

then rebuilt. This allowed connection to the pool and hashing commenced.

Did you wait a bit? BTCGuild is just hanging on TLS attempts, so there's a 30 second timeout when initially connecting and then later following the redirect.
Eleuthria apparently does not plan to fix this, and I'm not sure whether it's worth removing (or requiring explicit enabling of) TLS just to workaround it.

Quote from: Taugeran on May 10, 2014, 12:48:39 AM

Bonus: whats special about the new values in bitfury_init_chip payload? do they produce a hit on one of the additional cores in rev.2 chips?

The new payload has 8 nonces in it, a few of which are never found by gen1 chips.

Quote from: Taugeran on May 08, 2014, 01:37:15 AM

ah. just wanted to make a note that on win7x64, bfgminer 32-bit the ramp up never occured. they stayed at 5 bits untill i manually changed them to 56.

FWIW, I found the bug causing this.

Code:

while (bitfury->osc6_bits < 50)

On the first iteration, bitfury points to data beyond the array.

I don't know if this question has been asked before because I'm kinda new to the forums (not new to mining). I am using BFGMINER as a proxy for my 8 blades and 2 cubes and was wondering if its possible to use comma separated values in the username (-u) as in ... -u user1,user2,user3 and so on and would that also work in the password field ...the reason I am asking is that I want to be able to monitor each card or cube as separate workers in my mining pools dashboard so I don't have to keep the teamviewer window running all the time on my desktop. I also have 6 antminer S1s that I just watch from browser tabs (much cleaner) ...I am just trying to clear up some of my desktop clutter ...nothing like having to have 6 windows open all the time ...and that way I can stop relying on team viewer since it crashes like 5 times a day Sad

...

Try MultiMiner (and maybe MobileMiner) it will fun multiple instances of BFGMiner and give you stats on each 'Cube and 'Blade. It does it for me.

Slowly but surely starting to switch from windows to linux...
So i build bfgminer... ./autogen. sh follwed by ./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-opencl
Seems to be working... Amd 6970 fyi... ocl is showing : 605/578/268kH/s
Looking at bfg.readme file... it says :
An all time average hash rate
An all time average hash rate based on actual nonces found, adjusted for pool
reject and stale rate..

So im correct to assume that my current hash rate is 268kh/s?
If so.. its half of what i got on windows... did i miss something while building?

edit... pretty sure i missed something... it causes systemfreeze from time 2 time.. but what?
