Topic: OLD: BFGMiner 3.10.0: modular ASIC+FPGA, GBT+Strtm, RPC, Mac/Lnx/W64, AntU1, DRB - page 77. (Read 1193358 times)

I'm using an ASICMiner Cube.  BFGMiner 3.8.1 32-bit on Windows and 3.8.1 on OpenWRT. 

The Cube is reporting no Longpoll support when using BFG's getwork proxy, but does say Longpoll is active when using Slush's proxy.

Is Longpoll important? 

I'm getting 100% hardware errors on Linux.

Whenever bfgminer finds a block, it's hardware error.

problem with miner again on 3.8.1 using Windows 7 x64

This is a bug in cgminer. Any working stratum client can handle the proxy fine.

Is it possible you implement stratum proxy for cgminer connections? I get H-not-zero errors and it looks like more people ran into the same. You would be a hero of a lot of people if you implement that

Thanks!!

Just wanted to put some official acknowledgement that HellDiverUK's response here is correct (mainly because I get asked it often).
This is clearly stated in the README since forever.
*gminer has never worked with multiple blockchains in the same instance.
Maybe some day I'll get around to rewriting enough code to make it work, but it's not really a priority.
If someone else wants to try to do this, I'll consider merging the code - but it's definitely far from simple!

It's working on good-for-nothing dieing alts for testing purposes. They've difficulty like 0.00x

One thing I've noticed -- I tend to get hardware errors at the same rate as I should get blocks.

So it might be happening that whenever the GPU solves a block, it solves it wrong and triggers a hardware error.

I think he's just reading it wrong.

You can't run different blockchains at the same time.  BFG loads whatever coin's chain on startup, and won't change it, so you can't flip between BTC and whatever other SHA junkcoin

You've solved 20 blocks with a CPU?  I don't think so.  If you had, you're either posting from 2008 and got 1000BTC for nothing, or you're the luckiest person alive, or you're reading the screens wrong.

I suspect what you're seeing is "New block detected" on the network, which bfgminer doesn't report (because it's pointless information).

I'm not mining litecoins.

Besides I've multiple GPUs installed (4), but first let's fix 1.

you are wasting your time doing CPU mining (7KH/s?) even GPU mining is a waste at 380KH/s

I'm mining both on CPU and GPU. For CPU mining I'm using cpuminer and for GPU bfgminer (3.8.1).

The hash rate in bfgminer is ~200 KH/s and for cpuminer it's 22 KH/s.

bfgminer has failed to solve a single block while cpuminer has found 20 so far.

What can be wrong? Thanks!

Also I've tried changing the intensity, but it doesn't work.

I don't care to investigate or fix this.
Patches welcome from anyone who does...
(there's also an opening for official BFGMiner scrypt lead maintainer)

I'm using bfgminer to mine litecoin, but it keeps showing me the speed in mhs or ghs instead of khs , is ther any way to set it to show khs ,
im mining on give-me-coins and it does show that i am mine scypt.

I'm new to mining and had a few questions about setting up the mining devices in BFGMiner.
I've seen quite a few different ways to add devices and was wondering which was best to use with ASIC Block Erupters.
(All setups produced similar but different results.) *I have four Block Erupters running

These are the different ways that I am aware of and do work:

1) Hit M for Manage then the + key to add devices and type all and hit the Enter key> Hit S for Settings then W for write config file.
(This labels all miners as ICA (Icarus devices) and the results are give or take 30 uBTC/hr)

2)Follow same above instruction but after writing the config file, right click on the BFGMiner.exe icon, go to Properties and add this command "-o Pool URL -u Username -p Password --S all at the end of the target filename.
(This does the same thing as above but gives me higher results in the upward of 45 uBTC/hr - 35 uBTC/hr, occasionally spiking higher or lower, but never lower than 30 uBTC/hr give or take)

3)Follow above instructions, but add "--icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100" to the end of the same command at the end of the target filename.
(This also gives me similar results as 1) gave me, but can drop as low as 24 uBTC/hr at times and run that way steady for some time before rising again to not only repeat the fall at a random point in time)

4) Follow the same instructions as 1), but instead of typing all, type erupter:\\.\COM with the COM number associated with each miner until you have added them all, again hit the Enter key and follow the same instructions to write the config file.
(This labels all miners as BES (Block Erupter USB devices *?) and the results are between 25 uBTC/hr and 30 uBTC/hr)

*Note that cpu and gpu are not running along with these miners. I'm not sure why they are not since I did not specify for them not to be by adding the -G command in with the command added to the target filename, but I am fine with this. Still, an explanation may prove helpful understanding these setups more thoroughly.

This is a trial, but if proves to be worth it, I'll be purchasing more.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.






 

for any prospective googler having similar problems, it looks like I am having some kind of driver issue. I noticed that if I go into the device manager to the USB section windows had stopped two of my drivers for some reason. I will report back if i get it running stable!

All I am running through the hub is the nanofury, a block erupter and a mini usb fan so I can't see that being over 1.5A?

It's also strange that my nanofury is the only one that has a problem with it and my block erupter runs fine?

keep in mind not all usb are equal. try running just it on there and see if it works. each port can pull 0.5A so 10ports the power supply should be 5A not 4
