Tested what I needed in 4.20 and it worked flawlessly.

Also, I'm an idiot, because at the same intensity, scrypt mining with bfgminer appears to be much faster (20ish percent) than with cgminer. There's a small sample size with my data, but still...

Cool, let me know how it goes!

1.4.22 just out with early support for addition of (currently only a single) networked miner to the API Output window:


Please let me know if you have any problems with the new feature, especially if any devices are showing up at the bottom of the log but not in the table

This version also squashes a rare bug reported to me over email

Aha...I hadn't even considered using both the bfgminer window and the FPGA/ASIC window because they both used bfgminer. Silly me. I'll try it out and report back.

Thanks. Smiley

Just to clarify: if I want to scrypt mine LTC with my GPU while I am also using bfgminer to run Block Erupters, I need to stick with 4.20?
You can use the FPGA/ASIC window which also uses bfgminer for the Block Erupters and use the bfgminer window for scrypt mining with the gpu - if the new version doesn't work out for you you can always get older versions by replacing the version number in the download link but let me know please

no problem jedi, thanks for trying to help out! Luckily I've got a nice server to run it on Smiley

yes that's scrypt too, but you can still scrypt mine in bfgminer and cpuminer windows

1.4.21 also updates cgminer to 3.8.3 which no longer supports cpu/gpu mining

Does this effect scrypt mining, too?

I've just released 1.4.21 and removed jedimstr's p2pool node from the default backup pool list so if you applied pool settings in 1.4.20 please just click save & start again in 1.4.21 to remove his node from the list and replace it with another p2pool node
...

Thank You! Much appreciated!!!

Even with a Fiber Pipe, my main connection turned to mush with the DDOS like onslaught of the MacMiner horde.  It seems P2Pool maxconnections setting only applies to peer connections and not worker connections.

I couldn't google quickly whether either of those coins work with bfgminer, I'll have a look in to it further

1.4.21 also updates cgminer to 3.8.3 which no longer supports cpu/gpu mining - please let me know if you're using cgminer for your usb miners how this version works for you!

Can i mine any coin with this?
You should be able to mine most if not all, definitely BTC/LTC and anything else that works the same way as either should work


Such as Quark, or Stablecoin?

On second thought BitBacco... can you remove my P2Pool as one of your backups in your software? galactica.geekgalaxy.com:9332
I'm starting to hit limits on file opens associated with bitcoind due to the amount of spurious connections coming from people jumping in and out of my pool and for some reason each quick connection doesn't close.  I'm going to be closing off my pool to outside connections soon.

Thanks!

Hi, i've updated to v1.4.20 on the GT650 mbp 2012, this is what i get

the set up is the same as v1.3.17 on the HD6870 in the tower both are Mavericks. Which still works with the same settings.


Can you check activity monitor on this machine to make sure there aren't extra bfgminer processes running? They could be in use by a previously started process…

Yamauchi - It looks like you're only CPU mining by the speed, at that speed you're not going to earn anything unfortunately…

Thanks for the tips.
It's now working with Ozcoin, and the message box text title is now "CPUMINER". (I know it was written BFGMiner before despite i was starting CPUMiner)

I m also having the "Kh indicator" working. This was not the case with P2PooL.

So if i also want to mine with GPU (macbookpro & macpro) : i should use BFGMiner + "enable GPU Mining" + "scrypt" ? (it's working but want to be sure)
Any other settings ?

Once again awesome work !

"bfgminer has started
The primary pool is set to http://spare.ozco.in:9333 and the user is set to flushdream.1"

Why bfgminer?
You said you're trying to use CPUMiner.
However, try to use "stratum+tcp://spare.ozco.in:9333" instead of "http://spare.ozco.in:9333".

Thanks very much helping me, it is working with P2Pool  Cheesy
Now i m gonna test it everywhere.
Congrats again. Very nice work !

 so maybe pools have restrictions for CPU users, as i my i3570 (W8) is running on this same pool with 100khash and nothing is moving.
 Huh


(I will make a donation as soon as collect something Cheesy)

Ok.(I start mining this week)

I am using this pool :
http://spare.ozco.in:9333
I don't find any log. But here is the message box text :

"bfgminer has started
The primary pool is set to http://spare.ozco.in:9333 and the user is set to flushdream.1"

That's all i know.
I don't know what the problem is but it's something with the pool - if not wrong username or password then some technological problem it definitely works with p2pool nodes and maybe other people here can suggest some good LTC pools they use?
