i have bought a fury... all is perfect but bfgminer mine with my fury and with my gpu: http://prntscr.com/4gpu14
how to disable gpu mining? my laptop is very hot...

just wondering if there is an update as to when support for hexminer boards will be integrated?

I've published a first draft "Mining manufacturer tech guidelines".

Duhhh....found it. Like I said...senior moment.

D/L links are on page 1 of this very thread.

I must be having a senior moment...I can't find the D/L. Can you put up the link? Thanks

I am currently running the CGMiner 3.1.1 with Zeus support from Zeusminers on an EeePC running Windows XP and it is working fine... I will try with BFGMiner once I download it for Windows.

Unfortunately we do not have access to this specific hardware to test. Can you test on a PC by chance?

Hello all,

I am using Minera with BFGMiner but I have noticed that BFGMiner is not letting me hash at full speed.  I only can get 70% of the throughput before getting hardware errors.
Additionally, I have noticed that BFGMiner taking up CPU load up to 3.5  I think there may be a bottleneck somewhere within BFGMiner that is causing this excessive CPU usage.

My Miners are 2 x Zeus Lightning X6.  I should be able to hit 84 MHs with both units... as per CGMiner.

NEW VERSION 4.7.0, AUGUST 17 2014

Human readable changelog:

• avalonmm: Guess sensible defaults when user does not specify clock/voltage.
• minergate: New driver supporting the Spondoolies SP10.
• Stratum: Support for mining.set_extranonce extension; put "#xnsub" at the end of the pool URI to enable.

Full changelog:

• openwrt/multibuild: Avoid copying bitforce-firmware-flash, which is no longer included
• AUTHORS: Simpler design, alphabetise lists
• Remove obsolete SuSE packaging
• Bugfix: test_hash: Fix Htarg calculation for exact binary divisions of diff 1
• Fix target calculation from diff < 1.0 in test_hash()
• avalonmm: Try to autodetect a sane default voltage and clock from MM version
• avalonmm: Only poll one module at a time, so they don't try to talk over each other
• avalonmm: Set baud rate for detection
• Stratum: Ignore response from mining.extranonce.subscribe
• Stratum: Implement mining.set_extranonce, and advertise support for it to pools with a #xnsub flag
• Stratum: Keep nonce1 and n2size in a "staging" state until mining.notify is received
• Stratum: Avoid putting new targets on pool stratum_work until mining.notify is received for it
• minergate: Flush during init
• minergate: Flush ready-to-queue list
• minergate: Avoid preparing new jobs to queue while we are pending a flush, since the flush would occur after queuing the new jobs
• minergate: Check for reused job ids
• minergate: Avoid counting flushed jobs toward hashes done
• minergate: Report all temperatures individually to RPC
• minergate: Load temperatures from stats file
• minergate: Implement hashmeter
• minergate: Scale nonce difficulty up to pdiff 32
• minergate: Implement mining
• minergate: Support for detecting a SP10
• Bugfix: configure: avalonmm needs work2d
• Bugfix: bitforce: Remove sanity check triggered by race conditions on 65nm devices
• Bugfix: bitforce: Avoid double-free of voltage data

I tried to solo mine a dead scrypt coin with low difficulty. I was the only miner and in few seconds I found 13 blocks, I can see them in the wallet. But I see that bfgminer reports, it detected 27 new blocks on the network. That is a bug in bfgminer, only 14 new blocks were there (13 blocks solved and one, the last one, unsolved). New blocks (NB:) and accepted blocks were seen in ncurses screen and I can see them in final report:

And these are messages during mining:

Gentlemen,

I can remotely crash bfgminer, core dump is 100% repeatable:

or

bfgminer is the latest from GIT running at older Ubuntu host and it is mining some SCRYPT coin with one ZEUS miner connected to USB port.

Other commands I tried work OK, like this one: I found this problem when I tried to monitor this host...

Some debug example:

This is fast and dirty workaround, I know it is bad but it address crashes and I can use miner API:

This condition is part of a loop, bfgminer crashes when index j is 1 and it points to zeusminer driver, some structure is not initialized. Loop is run 48 times (or 8 times when zeusminer:chips=1).
My ZEUSMINER is Blizzard, it has 6 ASIC chips. I tried to add parameter --set-device zeusminer:chips=1 but it doesn't help...

im waiting for the technobit support as i have one of those pieces of shiat and would prefer to be able to run it with my other stuff at the same time then having like 2 or 3 different things running to to run the units i have

Hey what works work. Gotta have someplace for baseline

Unlikely, since the minergate driver is just using Spondoolies' minergate software, which does the actual driver implementation.
Will probably write another, standalone, driver eventually if it makes sense, but this was a quicker way to get things working at least

I saw that.  This can be big.
It it performs better on the SP30 than cgminer you know Zvi will have it in there in a heartbeat.
My SP30 review is in the pending pile at CCN and I got to interview Zvi quickly for it as he was massively busy.
Pretty cool stuff.

luke with in the last 24 hrs has posted a branch named minergate

The do test it out from what I understand.  I should have asked Zvi when I interviewed him.

GUESS WHAT I SMELL!!!

spondoolies support is a-coming!!!!!!
