I am using the version 3.4.0 BFGMiner that is distributed as part of Bertmod 0.3 on my KnCMiner Saturn. I added the lines:

Code:

"coinbase-addr": ,
"coinbase-sig":

to the end of the config file, because I wanted to solo mine on my local bitcoin-qt.

It doesn't generate any errors, but the hashrate goes down from ~285 GH/s to more like 10 GH/s Huh

If I remove the above two lines, it goes back to normal.

Anybody have any idea what is going wrong here?

Is it using 100% CPU, or less? I wonder if the BBB can't keep up with generating work via GBT...

Yeah, looks like that's it - always over 95% CPU when GBT is enabled, ~22% otherwise.

Bummer.

How long has your bitcoin-qt been running. Is the Blockchain fully up-to-date or is it still updating?

I've been running 3.4.0 on SuSE linux (compiled from the git source) for a few weeks now, initially using Block Erupters, but last week I got a Red Fury, which works fine, aside from having LOTs of hardware errors (59% or so).

Just compiled 3.6.0 from source, get a segmentation fault when I try to run it - any ideas, given that 3.4.0 compiles and runs without issue?

Also, anyone got a link to a clear howto on getting a previous version from git? I've done a fair bit of looking and found nothing that works, or that is helpful. Downloading the zip/tar.gz of the source of 3.5.2 doesn't work as it won't compile from the files that github gives you; I've only had luck by cloning the repo which gives you only the current version, which obviously isn't any good to me... I know there are good reasons for using git but it doesn't seem at all friendly to anyone who wants to download and compile a specific version.

Much easier than you think.

git checkout [branchname]

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorial/git-branches#!checkout

I'm clearly an idiot, as I've got nowhere with that. I can't see how you can specify a previous version from that; running checkout only gives me M libblkmaker. As I say, I can see how git is clearly useful for someone who is well versed in it and for version management on a project you are contributing to, but it's as clear as mud how I can get the source for 3.5.2 from it; to me, anyway, so I must be stupid.

Should be something along the lines of:

git checkout bfgminer-3.5.x

Do this in the directory you have bfgminer cloned. This will switch the local workspace to that branch.

You can also jump to a specific Tag (version). Instructions here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/791959/how-to-use-git-to-download-a-particular-tag

I've been using bfgminer for quite a while now and I love it. One thing I've never been able to find is a current interface guide. I understand most of the 3.6 interface, but could someone break down this line for me?

ST:28 F:2 NB:98 AS:0 BW:[137/90 B/s] E:26.81 I: 441uBTC/hr BS:65k

Thanks in advance: Curtis

From the BFGMiner README:

Quote

The BFGMiner status line shows:
ST:1 F:0 NB:1 AS:0 BW:[ 75/241 B/s] E:2.42 I:12.99mBTC/hr BS:2.71k

ST is STaged work items (ready to use).
F is network Failure occasions (server down or slow to provide work)
NB is New Blocks detected on the network
AS is Active Submissions (shares in the process of submitting)
BW is BandWidth usage on the network (received/sent)
E is Efficiency defined as number of shares accepted (multiplied by their
difficulty) per 2 KB of bandwidth
I is expected Income, calculated by actual shares submitted in 100% PPS value
(assumes Bitcoin, does not account for altcoin conversions!)
BS is the all time Best Share difficulty you've found

Def needs a powered hub.

No luck on older versions for me.

I'm not good with git, not sure how you can move up and down in versions easily while maintaining your current version.

Actually i am still in 3.6.0. Not sure how to add other version Embarrassed

If you don't ... let me know how you got them working.

Ok, now can run after reinstall all.

Have you considered including your favorite build of hidapi in you git/configure?

No, I consider it a bug to embed libraries in software.
The only reason I still do it with libblkmaker is that no other software is using it yet.

Quote from: MineForeman.com on November 16, 2013, 06:17:24 PM

I ask because Arch does not have a package for it yet and I prefer you build than one I can come up with (not that my builds are bad and don't work, just because you know the ins and outs of it better than I).

I have never used Arch, let alone made a package for it.
Perhaps whoever is maintaining the BFGMiner packages would be willing to do this.

Fair enough, I would like to contend that hidapi is in the same boat (as you described) as libblkmaker though. I will defend your choice to include those libraries because they make a better bfgminer. Why one and not the other?

Perhaps not many, but there are other software using hidapi.
