I am using:-

TeamViewer FREE pc remote controller (free for domestic use)

It's Ideal for managing remote PC when running miners (and other software)

You can remote control many PC's from home. It has a better resolution and faster response than "logmein".

Does anyone know if BFGminer can send out an email alert on miner failure? ( minepeon does this from the rPi) I would like to set up something similar from my remote PC location.

Some pools have notification. Which in someways is better than looking from the client side.

Eclipse sends a notification after failure, but it can take a few hours to send. It seems to send when the share count hits zero.
minepeon sends a note a few seconds after failure. When the pre-set conditions are broken.
Luke-Jr has pointed to some useful commands.

Has anybody gotten BFG 3.10 working with antminer in Win 7 64bit....mine gets stuck at "started bfminer 3.10.0" and nothing else.
I tried removing Zadig and reinstalling the driver thru windows without changing with Zadig and still it does not work. I am running the command line shown in these thread.

bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u XXXX -p XXX -S antminer:all --set-device antiminer:clock=x0981

the antminer is working with cgminer but cant get it to work with bfg. Thanks

How long do you give it? Try giving it a minute or two to load. Are you running it in a command prompt or a shortcut/.bat file? If it's the latter try using the command prompt directly since the window closes if the shortcut or .bat file runs into an error. Using a command prompt lets you see what the error message is.

You could try to start BFG Miner with just the '--set-device antiminer:clock=x0981' command and see if that works or with no commands at all.

Also make sure the pool details are correct as it will auto close the window if it is not.

I have given a few minutes and stays there nothing other than "started bfminer 3.10.0"..If I run just --set-device antiminer:clock=x0981
then runs but does not recognize the Antminer. If I run just -S antminer:all --set-device antiminer:clock=x0981 then it hangs as before when I had the pool info...I am running from command prompt not batch file. Are you able to run the new 3.10.0 on Win 7 64? Thanks

I'm using Windows 8 64-bit so I don't think I can directly compare our setup. Try running it in Admin mode and see.

Also try using the command prompt if you aren't already - see if that will give you an idea as to why it's not loading properly. I assume that the test builds for 3.09.00 that are listed in the Antminer U1 Tips and Tricks thread works fine?

Have not tried any 3.9 test build, I was waiting for the official release with support for the antminer. So 3.10 is the only one I tried.

I`ve tried that on its own, with upper cse, lower case drillbit:all, drillbit:auto and all the same. Either that or it just doesn`t recognise them.

Thanks fr the help though.

If anyone wants to elaborate on the README FAQ covering un-Zadig'ing, I bet that would be well-appreciated by many.

What is the Com driver used for the Drillbit devices?

Standard USB CDC ACM.

Luke-Jr,
Thanks. I still cannot find this driver (specifically for Win7/64). I know how to remove the current Zadig installed one, but the only one that I can find for Drillbit is the Atmel driver used for firmware updates, which doesn't seem to work for me. Any clues would be appreciated.

Thanks

Managed to solve my driver issue - using the Atmel driver provided by Drillbit for firmware updates. Tried this so far on the Thumb. Removing the WinUSB driver has to be 'complete' (not just uninstal, but tick the box to remove the driver).

Cheers

~I`m using the atmel at91 driver as sent to us with the drilbit firmware and -s Drillbit:auto in my batch file. It seems BFG isn`t seeing them. any ideas guys?

Also, my BFG now crashes with the message -s drillbit:auto is not a number

try -S

I have tried -S drillbit:auto , -S drillbit:/dev/ttyUSB0 and -S bitfury:/dev/ttyUSB0

Any1 else have luck with somthing ?

wait for 3.10.0 on peon

I already have the update on peon.

the link on the bfgminer website to the Slackware build is broken.
so i downloaded the source to rebuild bgminer myself.
turns out to support Nanofury i need to have hidapi installed.
i've downloaded hidapi-0.7.0 and unzipped it. even ran the hidapi linux/Makefile and the
command line test program found my usb connected battery backup.
however, i am unclear as to where and which files (a compiled .a? the .h?) needs to
be placed for bfgminer's ./configure --enable-nanofury to actually find it.

Hey guys and girls,

Trying to do a little solo mining on the side. I have it set up and is running but it is either a) not working correctly or b) I dont fully understand load balance.

I am trying to get it where it does 90% of the work for the pool and 10% for solo mining. However I only get about 1/3 or the hash rate on the pool as I used to and not the 90% I would like. Here is the code, without the load balance command because not sure where to put it so I do that manually:

Code:

{

"pools" : [
{
"quota" : "10;192.168.2.9:8332",
"user" : "blah",
"pass" : "blah",
"coinbase-addr" : "1DhHifvuR232342142424SsKJoQUqeC7Z5dc",
"coinbase-sig" : "Fuglie's solo lotto 10%"
},
{
"quota" : "90;stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333",
"user" : "blah",
"pass" : "blah"
}

]
,

"scan" : "all"

}

Is it not working correctly or is load balance not working how I think it should (sharing the max available hash rate between the pool/solo)?
Thanks!

Just mining my own business...

Thank you, Luke-Jr, for 3.10.0! Now my U1s and BEs will play well together on the same win7-64 i3 machine (after fiddling with the drivers) - I had to run them on separate machines until now. But now there's a new issue. My BEs (22), which have been running rock solid on (ahem) cgminer for several months, now all shut down between a half hour to an hour after a restart. An S-B-Y restarts bfgminer which picks them all up again. The U1s (4) keep on trucking (except during the restart, of course). All of the miners are on powered hubs and are cooled by a fan. Using the silas VCP driver. U1s running with clock:x0981 generating a fairly consistent ~1.9Ghs.

Is there a log I can look at that might indicate which might shed some light into this? I'm running the 64 bit bfgminer - should I try using the 32 bit version instead?

Since the 4 U1s together run slightly faster than the 22 BEs, I will probably just add more U1s and put my BEs up for sale, but it is still an undesirable behavior...
