Hello,

My miner doesn't run for more than 5 minutes until it gets hung up and blinks the yellow light occasionally (stock settings). I'm running BFGminer 5.4-FutureBit2 for Mac on OSX 10.13.2 Beta. I see it happen whenever there's a difficulty change but not sure if its coincidence. I've tried changing from Mining-Dutch to Prohashing and still having problems with the miner working. I guess I get confused as it works fine initially then gets hung up. I also thought maybe a cooling issue but again, playing with the settings didn't change the problem.




As for a different topic, I'm noticing every time I start BFGminer its pulling up URLs that I've used in the past. How do I clean out BFGminer to stop bringing up previous work. I want a clean slate at each boot up with only 1 URL that is defaults to. I've edited the start-moonlander-2 to read this:

#!/bin/sh
cd -- "$(dirname "$0")"
cd bin
./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://mining-dutch.nl:3322 -u JustAnotherPLT.2 -p d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=600

Its still loading with multiple URLs.


Sounds like your Mac's USB port is cutting power. Ive seen this on my Mac as well if the stick tries to pull more than 1-1.5 amps. Try lowering core voltage, stock voltage is too high if your only running 600 mhz.

I've adjusted the core voltage multiple times but still nothing. Here's what I'm getting on the BFGminer. When it boots up, it flashes red for a few seconds and then stops. Green stays steady the whole time. After a while the yellow flashes occasionally. I've installed drivers according to the website, again this miner worked initially. I've deleted and reinstalled BFGminer, which it seems to keep all old URLs and settings for some reason, I cant get it to start clean. I've switched pools and restarted through BFGminer, no go either.

UPDATE 1, I switched to another USB drive and now it's back to where it was in the beginning. I'm still having an issue where it stops working on a difficulty change, picture below. Not sure if BFGminer is the issue or the miner.

UPDATE 2

I finally have it stable on LTC with Mining-Dutch. The moment I change to another coin (still scrypt) it has problems when it hits a difficulty change. Essentially stops, flashed yellow and despite my best efforts won't restart until BFGminer is completely restarted. Changing pools does not help.

Any suggestions?

Also, still looking for help on BFGminer starting with wrong URLs. I'm still using the info below:
#!/bin/sh
cd -- "$(dirname "$0")"
cd bin
./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://mining-dutch.nl:3322 -u JustAnotherPLT.2 -p d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=600
