NEW VERSION 3.8.1, DECEMBER 9 2013

Human readable changelog:

Bug fixes only.

Full changelog:

bfgminer-rpc: Catch error when server host fails to resolve to an IP
RPC: Remove unnecessary delay from RPC server startup
Call WSAStartup for our own needs independently of libcurl etc
hashbusterusb: Give more meaningful errors before serial number is known
hashbusterusb: Populate device_path with USB devid
Rename hashbuster2 to hashbusterusb (only a-z allowed in driver names)
Include libusb in options list, since it is no longer tied to specific drivers
Make hashbuster serial number output match formatting on physical board
Fix for hashbuster first init after power up
Workaround Microsoft's non-standard swprintf
vcom: Fabricate vcom devinfo for any existing paths specified to --scan, in case enumeration fails
Bugfix: hashbuster2: Check for errors setting up libusb handle
Bugfix: Draw statuswin in line order to ensure overflow is cutoff properly
Fixed one byte stack overflow in mcast recvfrom.
Bugfix: Let libc do any translation for %lc before adding wide characters to curses

Why run in the Ubuntu VM instead of running the Mac compiled versions directly? Both precompiled binaries and Homebrew formula are available.

Because I can't get the native OSX version to work. It crashes "Bus error 10" -- I've re-installed with a fresh Homebrew, etc. No luck.

I have a small netbook I will move bfgminer to (under Ubuntu) and see if that solves the issue. It could be I have a general hardware problem on the Mac Pro, which is causing this.

Would be neat if these little ASIC boxen could be networked so you could connect a remote miner to them.

I've had the same problems in the past with my Mac Pro. Try these binaries here:

I'm pretty sure CPU mining is long gone...

then why is my cpu at 100% since i upgraded from 3.7 to 3.8 ?

my command line :

bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1HZKrZiUQvLMWnee2uPKvYJk5H7hZZvayT -p x -S all -t 0

This line works great with 3.7.0
bfgminer.exe -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -O worker:pasword -S Erupter:all

thanks but that still drives it to 100% cpu usage.
can someone explain what is the exact syntax of this -S flag? thanks!

has the option --disable-gpu gone? if yes, how else can i avoid gpu/cpu mining. the bfgminer process is taking 100% cpu now.

I am running bfgminer-3.8.0 under Ubuntu 13.x (current) in a VMware Fusion image. For a while, it had been working fine, until today it literally causes the Mac to crash and reboot. I looked in the logs and didn't see anything that stood out, but I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this annoying problem.

OSX 10.9 Mavericks is the version of the OS.

Thanks.

Why is my bfgminer closing immediately after I open it? I have been using it for months and didn't have this problem...

Same problem here.. BFL gear working fine with version 3.6.0 bfgminer, as soon as I upgraded to 3.8.0 the program opens then immediately closes and doesn't run. Same OS and environment, Win 7. hope there is a fix in the newer version.

Can you show us your batch/input line?

If you have -G ..........then remove it.

I've got BFL, BlueFury, Block Erupter all working together on windows 7 no problems. Even got 2 Blades on it too, all running off a Celeron NUC. 3.8.0 works as well as 3.6.0 and 3.7.0 did. I'm running the Win32 version on 7 Ultimate x64.

Seems I'm getting a Nanofury to replace a dead Bluefury. Anything I need to be aware of as regards getting the Nanofury working on BFGMiner on Linux (or indeed OpenWRT)?

You'll have to build hidapi for OpenWrt and recompile BFGMiner to use it.

Cheers Luke-Jr. I think I'll stick to the RPi then. Wink

I hear there are significant problems with Nanofury on the RPi's buggy USB stack...
I plan to be looking into this in the upcoming weeks, but it may be a hardware issue I can't workaround.

Good news thanks to derjanb Grin

Quote from: derjanb on December 05, 2013, 03:10:27 PM

Working fine here after hours of trying... Grin

At least I get ~2.3 GH/s out of the Nanofury.

I'm using bfgminer 3.8.0 (latest git version) and all you have to do (after compiling) is to enforce the USB 2.0 low speed mode to make the USB communication stable. Note: this will also limit the network speed of your Raspi!

The slowdown can be achieved by putting dwc_otg.speed=1 into /boot/cmdline.txt. Note: all statements need to be at one line.

See this page for more infomation: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=53832#sig411106 (the last section at the bottom.

Question: what does

is this a git-source-and-cross-compile task or does it require intensive tinkering?

It requires writing code.

otherwise, usb block erupter need lots of watt

, you use hub with external power or directly usb motherboard.

I think after one usb erupter, you must use a hub with external power to have such as power.

I've got an external powered usb hub. I can plug in 1 erupter and it's find, shows up as COM4. Then, when I plug in a second one into the usb hub, it says "installing device" then errors our saying "device may not have installed properly", and then the COM4 has the ! in a triangle. I know the hub works on my windows 7 machine. I can also plug in 2 erupters directly into the box and they show up as COM4 and COM21, but when I plug in the hub and try to attach another one, it boots COM4 and gives me that ! triangle. I mostly use that computer for old, fun, XP games...just thought I'd try it out though...

You need USB2 ports on your PC

USB1 is to slow and USB3 sometimes has problems.

I do have a USB2 port on it, but I don't know which one it is...is there an easy way to tell? I can see the hub controller for it in the device manager, just don't know which of the 7 ports is actually it

Traditionally usb1 "black"..............usb2 "white"................usb3 "blue"

But device manager should indicate which port you are connecting when you plug in a stick.
