Are there any other direct links to the custom BFGMiner for it?

Hi The official link on https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=28691.0  is down please help? I have 5 miners and a new hub and no mining. I have  windows 10 and linux laptops and a raspberry pi.  Any setup info would be good? thanks

yes that site kind of sucks.. wish he made a support thread here...

these things are VERY picky on what type of usb they are plugged into.

im running 7 @ 240 off of 2 superbpag usb hubs, plugged into an old usb 2.0 cyberpower hub.. as they would not work directly plugged into the pc usb ports..

its fairly stable.. i get a dropout every couple days.. 1 or 2 just stop sending in shares.. you have to unplug everything and restart bfgminer to get them to work again.

i also got 2 bad sticks, that even at .9v still give me .5% or more hwe @ 240.. and wont run at 256 :/ 100% hwe..


it would help if you listed what hub you have.

Linux: Easiest way to install with linux is to compile the source directly. Detailed instructions below
Install required dependancies (make sure you copy and paste the whole lines since the code is cut off and need to scroll to select all of it)


sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libevent-dev
(i think thats all of them let me know if i missed one)

clone repo

git clone --branch futurebit_driver https://github.com/jstefanop/bfgminer.git

configure and make


cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS=-O3 --enable-scrypt --enable-futurebit --disable-other-drivers
sudo make


If it complains about missing libraries you might need to

sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
