Topic: OLD: BFGMiner 3.10.0: modular ASIC+FPGA, GBT+Strtm, RPC, Mac/Lnx/W64, AntU1, DRB - page 38. (Read 1193208 times)

Hi,
as it is said in the README.ASIC.txt, just start proxy with: bfgminer --http-port 8330. Then configure your blade to connect [...] with a unique username per blade.

but if I do, it first asks for an url - ok.
then it asks for a username - why? Want to configure it at the blades configpanel. I cant start bfgminer without setting logindata. "No login credentials supplied forl pool 0..." Where is the trick?

if I try to mine eg UNO and the diff is falling under a special value (cant say it exactly, but think its not so important), the miner cant handle the work. I got alot of stale and a very low Hashrate. Its a 10GHs miner it will be under 2 at the lowest. Can anybody tell me why? I tried to fix the diff by setting "--request-diff 32" but I think its the pools choice to overwrite that.

any suggestions?

thanks!

Hrm, that means my refactors didn't do it after all!

Can you post your (original checkout)'s .git/logs/HEAD file so we can figure out what the last version that worked for you was?

This feels like something on my end.  I've mentioned that my 3 systems are somewhat similar, so I just grabbed the binary off of miner 1, which works as expected, and tried it on miner 2 and 3.  Works on miner 1, only displays the temp on CL 0 on miners 2 & 3...

Excuse me while I go wash my hands... I'm feeling pretty dirty right now (sharing binaries across Linux boxes and all).

Be back in a few hours.

Check that you're in the "video" UNIX group.

Great idea!  Unfortunately, didn't help.  Still seeing the "Failed to open Device Parameters registry key in lowl-vcom.c _vcom_devinfo_scan_windows__hubport(
):440: The system cannot find the file specified." after selecting Auto. 

Started with a fresh clone:

git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure -enable-opencl --enable-scrypt
make -j3

And reproduced the problem.

git checkout 223df8d
make

problem still there.

git checkout 98e5076
make

problem still there.  Very weird that its working normally on one of the three machines.


git checkout 223df8d
make

problem still there.

Try the 32-bit bfgminer to rule that out. I don't use the 64-bit binary (doesn't support HTTP proxy).

Doing Pooled mining Bradley.  We are finding blocks every many many times a day and I see my other miners accepting shares within seconds.  But appreciate the thought.  Fixated on the error message right now.

So you're scrypt mining.  Depending on the hash rate and difficulty settings, it may take hours to find a share.  Also, with Intensity 20, it may be breaking the GPU.  Try a lower intensity and move up from there...

I hate Windows, Windows hates me - its an equitable relationship...

I just spent 3 hours this morning screwing around of my wife Windows 7 machine trying to get bfgminer 64-bit to work.

I've tried the 13.9 catalyst drivers, the 13.12 ones, and the 14 beta ones.  All are having the same problem.  I actually don't think this is directly bfgminer's issue, but rather some driver, lack therefore, or other corruptions on her machine.

BFGminer will start, but not find the Radeon 5770 GPU.  If I do M-->+-->Auto it finds it, but generates the following error:

[2014-02-10 12:17:36] Failed to open Device Parameters registry key in lowl-vcom.c _vcom_devinfo_scan_windows__hubport(
):440: The system cannot find the file specified.

The card will then appear to work, but the system never accepts any work.  Over hours, I will see a few rejects.

Startup command is normal, identical to what I use on my nice logical Linux machines:

bfgminer -S opencl:auto --intensity 20 --temp-overheat 80 --temp-cutoff 100 --temp-target 80 --scrypt --gpu-fan 100 --auto-gpu -o ...

Help please.  What have I done wrong?

ps.  I want to hunt down and punish the AMD folks responsible for their Raptr code - it is not optional, and pesters you to death to install it.  Of course, I refuse, cursing it each time.

git checkout 223df8d && make
(test this)
git checkout c675a33 && make
(test this)
git checkout 98e5076 && make
(test this)

When they have one to work with.

Any thoughts on when/if this Dualminer USB ASIC will be supported? http://www.dualminer.com/

See here for hubs:-    https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2700634

USB1.1 is low on data transfer speeds for higher performing Asics.

The USB3 hubs that are ok for mining, work better if connected to your USB2 sockets.

rPi do not like USB3.

Hi,
first of all: good job! very nice program! I'm using v3.9

first question:
as it is said in the README.ASIC.txt, just start proxy with: bfgminer --http-port 8330. Then configure your blade to connect [...] with a unique username per blade.

but if I do, it first asks for an url - ok.
then it asks for a username - why? Want to configure it at the blades configpanel. I cant start bfgminer without setting logindata. "No login credentials supplied forl pool 0..." Where is the trick?

and the second question:
if I try to mine eg UNO and the diff is falling under a special value (cant say it exactly, but think its not so important), the miner cant handle the work. I got alot of stale and a very low Hashrate. Its a 10GHs miner it will be under 2 at the lowest. Can anybody tell me why? I tried to fix the diff by setting "--request-diff 32" but I think its the pools choice to overwrite that.

thanks and greets!

The one I pulled less than 2 hours ago?  Is there a way for me to ID what I pulled?

All the files are timestamped 2/9/2014 around 23:07 - but I'm GMT -6 (US Central).

I apologize for not really understanding git beyond how to fetch things.

Oh... I have no idea if this is significant, but miner #1, which is working as expected, has an Intel CPU.  Miners #2 and #3 that are being quirky are AMD.  Beyond that, they are pretty similar setups.

More likely I broke that... Can you perhaps pinpoint which commit caused the problem?

Thanks

Being masochistic, I like to start my mining week out from a common spot, so I tend to pull the latest bfgminer git, install, and reboot my (3) miner machines.

Tonight being the night for such things, I found I'm having a new quirk:

Miner machine #1, with (2) GPUs, is working as expected:

Note that both GPUS are reporting their temps.

Miner machine  #2, with (2) identical GPUs to machine #1, is only reporting temps on the first GPU:

Miner machine #3 is acting like Miner machine #2.

I rather like seeing the temps as it allows me to tweak intensities to keep at or below 80C (wouldn't want to burn any out too quickly!).

Start-up scripts have not changed in weeks.  Typical command line:

./bfgminer -S opencl:auto --intensity 17,18 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 100 --temp-target 80 --scrypt --gpu-fan 100 --auto-gpu -o ...

Any ideas on what I broke?  

Presuming you are talking about Antminer U1s you need to use "-S antminer:all" and optionally "--set-device antminer:clock=x0981" or whatever clock you want.

Oh, you MUST be running 3.10.0, not an older version, too.

Hi, using a mac and i hit m to add antminers but I'm not sure what the path is or how to fnd the path to my antminers.
here is the example i get,erupter:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART
thanks in advance.
