Topic: OLD: BFGMiner 4.10.0: GBT+Stratum, RPC, Mac/Linux/Win64, Spondoolies SP30 - page 25. (Read 308349 times)

Lack of documentation held up progress until I had to move onto other ASICs. If we end up doing S3 support I will see if any of that is applicable to the S1 and S2. Really just an issue of time and documentation.

any idea how progress is on port to S1?

Sure - I'm in Maine in the US. I got $45 from checking Amazon, where they seem to be going for about $40 USD. Let me know what works for you. If you'd like my physical address send me a PM. Thanks!

I can send you one of MR3020 (it should be lower than45USD in my area). Can you tell me where you are, so I can calculate the shipping price?
If the total price is more than 45 USD, I think I will send you some BTC or LTC reflecting to this amount.

Hello guys,
just to let you know the Minera project now has BFGminer 4.4.0 on board, if you wanna give a try please refer to:

* v0.3.0 announcement
* Official site

Thanks!

Which "kmod-usb-serial" support for bitfury/ redfury BF1 USB on OpenWrt Router with bfgminer?
My bitfury BF1 runs well on bfgminer/Win 7, but usb undetected on openwrt event I install:
kmod-usb-serial-ftdi
kmod-usb-serial-cp210x
kmod-ub-serial-pl2303

Use the MultiMiner.  It uses BFG and there is a check box for restarting suspect miners.  So far it keeps mine running consistently and happily.
Nwoolls is the creator too so same great support.

That sounds promising.  



Doh!!!! ...there goes one of my G-blades zero hashing again.  

BFGMiner has always had blockchain tracking code to minimise stale shares and avoid broken pools. As a side effect, it breaks when trying to use multiple blockchains - hence the warning in README.
This has always been true of cgminer as well.
So... when it "works", it's pretty much coincidence and could stop "working" at any time.

Want to send me one?   I'd be happy to make a build if you wanna send one or donate $45 USD in BTC or something similar.

Or if you take a look at the repo I've posted, the scripts are all commented and should be capable of building for that router with a few changes. Check out the shell scripts here:

While I'd encourage you to try v4.2 again, there are known issues where GridSeed devices (DualMiners, Blades, Orbs, etc) stop generating nonces / shares. It's there in other drivers as well, for CPUMiner and CGMiner.

The next version of BFGMiner will include a new feature of the current watchdog to watch for nonces found by devices and compare those to pool difficulty. Basically if a device isn't generating shares anymore, it will be caught by the watchdog. In addition the GridSeed drivers (DualMiner and GridSeed) will reinitialize the device when this happens.

Hi all.   I don't know if the following is something I did or didn't do but here is my case.  

I'm not sure if my issue is a bug or something stupid I may have overlooked when upgrading from v4.2.0 to v4.3.0, (when my problems started), with minimal dysfunctionality to upgrading to v4.4.0 with random blades just not hashing at all.
FYI I posted this somewhere else but can't recall where.  So I'll risk a slap on the cheek in reposting this.


The problem:

Minepeon had worked quite well for me with bfgminer v4.2.0 since it's v4.2.0. release.  
So I forgot Murphy's Law: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"./b].
I was following the steps at this link in another forum: Upgrade bfgminer to v4.2.0., until I decided to try the same steps to upgrade to v4.3.0 version & the v4.4.0.  
Now, all I have are my gridseed g-blades dropping off after 2-3 hours (this didn't happen with v4.2.0) & not all will hash anymore.  Out of the 3 g-blades, each consisting of two boards, only 5 1/2 boards will hash, which randomly changes to another board not hashing, every time I restart bfgminer v4.3.0 or v4.4.0.


What I've done to try to correct, (noobie here so pls keep the laughter to a minimum if I did silly stuff)

(1) I unplugged & reseated all my cables (just incase gremlins)
(2)I reinstalled Minepeon v2.4.6 for Raspberry Pi model B onto a new SD card, performed the normal "git pull" & "pacman -Syu" commands.
(3) configured my fave pool, wemineltc.com.
(4) upgraded bfgminer to v4.3.0 a few days ago.
(5) then upgraded again a few hours ago or soon as I saw the forum post of it's new release, I forget.

This is what my config looks like in Minepeon for bfgminer:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer-gridseed --scrypt -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=838 --failover-only -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

(The snapshots at the bottom are recent ones after a restart 45 minutes later & the same after 6 hours last night of mining on my choice LTC pool www.wemineltc.com just to see if something had changed.)



...and...





If you request some type of logging texts from me please also show me how this is done, since I'm not knowledgable with linux.


PS: Can someone explain the steps required to downgrade from bfgminer v4.4.0 back to v4.2.0 on Minepeon/ArchLinux which worked quite well for me until I decided to try the new bfgminer v4.3.0 version & the v4.4.0.  


Thanks.

Luke would have to speak to the specifics, I am just passing along what I've been told about the issue.

I never said it was driver-specific, just that it doesn't work with those pools.  Coinking is also a multipool.  So is there a programmatic reason that it doesn't work with certain pools while cgminer tends to not care and just works?

@nwoolls

Could you make a firmware with bfgminer on tplink MR3020?
The WR703n is not easy to find. For my area the WR703n is totally replace with MR3020.
I know the cpu are the same but dont know if they can interchangable with flashing.

Thanks

 thanks dave works fine.

 I feel stupid that I have never asked this question.  I did not know it was so easy to do it.

I could do this again and put in a roll over pool correct?

^^^ just press enter and the config file will be written and named with the default bfgminer.conf   it looks like you have already entered the bitsolo  and  btc address as well as discovered the devices.

how do I write a bfgminer.conf file

I am at this point on bfgminer 4.4.0  I would need to see someone elses so I can copy it and paste in

 my bitsolo and my btc address. I use 3 nanofury singles and 3 nano fury 2x usb sticks

Try regular pools. As a rule of thumb, mult-pools don't work. This is not driver-specific.

It compiled just fine after that as I didn't run autogen, just reran make. 
I've also since switched to a straight raspbian image and recloned and rebuilt it...didn't have the version.h error this time.

But bfgminer seems to have a problem with manicminer pool and it didn't seem to play nice with nicehash.  Worked ok with coinking, but I noticed that the hashrates were a little strange....first 2 numbers were in the hundreds, last number was 23mhs.  I'm running a Falcon/Thunder x3 and it's consistently running around 29mhs with cgminer.  I was just trying to give bfgminer a shot due to the success others seem to be having with it.  I don't seem to have that sort of luck it seems though
