Does anyone have one of the new Rockminer RBoxes up and running with BFG? I'm wondering if they use the same UART drivers?

Is there a way to get BFGminer to not recognize or try to use my video card while mining?
Thanks.
Thanks.
add this to the command used to launch bfgminer
Code:
-S opencl:noauto
-S noauto
Tried both of those and BFG just opens and closes immediately. Here is my current bat:
C:\Users\Main\Desktop\bfgminer-4.7.0\bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=830 -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 -u X -p x --no-submit-stale
paste this into notepad. Save as.. mine.bat
this will run bfgminer with the flags we mentioned and then pause for keyboard input, letting you see why it doesn't start up (like it should)
C:\Users\Main\Desktop\bfgminer-4.7.0\bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S noauto -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=830 -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 -u X -p x --no-submit-stale
pause
You are the man!
I wasn't putting the -S in front of gridseed also, so it was -S noauto gridseed:all

POLA breakage. New update also breaks things like MultiMiner as it can't deal with adding #flags to the stratum URI (nor does the coinbase checks actually turn off with "/#xnsub" appended).

What's broken in MultiMiner? Not having any issues here. If you are running into anything please post details at http://issues.multiminerapp.com
Edit: nevermind - I see what you mean. I'll think of a way to allow for custom URIs in an update.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment
The release notes do say "#skipcbcheck", not "#xnsub"...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment
The astonishment in this case is that you're being asked to work on invalid blocks...

Hello Everyone,
I have a problem with BFGminer 4.8.0
http://i.imgur.com/u9dOPGA.jpg
I'm using nicehash pool which is curently working, despite the message about the dead pool it is mining as i can see on the web page, problem is that if i put any other pool as backup it automatically uses it There is also a disturping message about coibasecheck... can anyone help?

Did you use #xnsub?
Thanks, this solved the issue with switching the pool but coinbasecheck persists (maby i messed up something while i compiled it...), another thing is that i'm getting decrasing hashrate on those 4.7 and 4.8 bgminer it drops to unacceptable values like 3 Mh/s while cgminer never drops below 16 mh/s. I am using zeusminer 96 chips so it should stay at around 20+ mh/s which i am able to achive but not on multicoin pools.

I am trying to figure out how the BFGMiner command when you have multiple devices? I have two gridseed 5-chip orbs on com ports 78 & 79, a zeus miner on com port 77, and two opencl graphics cards. No matter what I try for -S I either see the zeus, and the gridseeds as "Initializing ..." (forever), but the OCL's are turned off. Just can't figure out how to get all 5 devices to work using one batch file.
Can anyone assist here?

Here's a simple little batch (.bat) file script to run the latest version of BFG that I thought other people might like to use.
Save this as BFG.bat in the root of all your different bfgminer version folders and it'll run the latest one.
Your folder structure will look like this:
bfgminer-4.6.0-win64
bfgminer-4.7.0-win64
bfgminer-4.8.0-win64
BFG.bat
Now when a new version comes out, you can just unzip it and re-run your batch file :-)
Remember to update your bfg parameters, user/pass etc as appropriate.

2) stratum+tcp://miningpool.com:3333#xnsub
This. Might need a slash too: stratum+tcp://miningpool.com:3333/#xnsubJust wanted to confirm that for the life of me I couldn't get it to work until I tried a trailing slash after the port number.

Can someone show me an example of where the #xnsub flag goes:
1) stratum+tcp://miningpool.com#xnsub:3333
or
2) stratum+tcp://miningpool.com:3333#xnsub
Many Thanks!

Luke, does BFG Miner support/work with the NEW R-Box 100GH/s ?
I think not yet, but uncertain. Try it and let me know?Jump to:
