I need helping with bfgminer 3.10.0 and my block erupters and bitfury redfury. The client just opens up and closes when i open it. The code I have for my redfury is :bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9010 -u username -p password -G -S bigpic:all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100

and for the block erupters:
bfgminer.ex" -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9010 -u username -p password -G -S erupter:all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100


I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.

I had this happen to me as well, not sure if the documentation in 3.10 needs updating but I got it to work once i removed all of the icarus commands. That said, what driver are you using with these? bfgminer needs the Silabs driver, if you were using cgminer and had the Zadig replaced drivers you need to reinstall the Silab ones for bfgminer to work.

Is it that you are trying to run the Bitfury in a separate instance of cgminer than the Block Erupters or is the issue that cgminer is only seeing the Erupters and not the Bitfury?

I personally haven't been able to get two instances of cgminer to run as it would complain about the devices already being in use.

Recommendations on established trading sites, trust issues and excess miners

Hi, I’m new to Bitcoin and digital currencies in general and looking for some advice. I started playing with GUIMiner, CFMiner and BFGMiner back n Nov after purchasing some USB ASIC miners, not to really be serious about mining as I’m fully aware of the difficulty issues, but I did this so I could learn more about how the process works. I also have started paying more attention to crypto currency news sites.

That said while part of me wants to start purchasing some altcoins I’m a bit hesitant. With buying bitcoins as an investment option I justify the purchase through say Coinbase since they are physically located near me. However, when it comes to alt coins I take a look at sites like CEXIO, Vircurex, mxcNOW, etc and they’re so anonymous I honestly don’t feel comfortable transferring BTC to them waiting a few days for it to go through and then pushing it back to my own personal wallets. Granted at some point there needs to be some level of “trust” I just don’t have that yet.

My idea has been to take the RPG items I sell on various outlets and setup a site that can take the payments in various currencies. However looking at Wordpress Plugins everything seems to be setup for BTC and I can’t find anything on LTC or Peercoin, etc.

So finally the point of all this TLDR:

  • What does the community here recommend for processing payments of digital currencies online?
  • How do I get over my trust issues with buying altcoins from “established” sites?
  • Also, what should I do with these ASIC USB miners now?
