I have found a fix for most users that are experiencing issues with the miners just stopping!

 if you use the conf file and you add more than 1 pool the miners will all stop when network difficulty information is gathered from the other pools.

 Fix: set 1 pool in your conf and remove the pool from the cmd/bat file, if you leave the same pool in the cmd/bat file it still treats it like having 2 pools.

my bat file:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S MLD:all
pause
exit


hope that helps!

I'm still newer to this...what exactly did you put in your .conf file? Can you post or PM me an example? TIA

I've received my four and they seem to be working ok, but they are dying occasionally. Like this morning two of three I have plugged into one comp were just not hashing, but had been working for the whole day while I was awake yesterday. When I restart bfgminer they're working fine though. Is this related to using higher frequency? Higher frequency without tuning voltage? Computer not splitting enough current? Something else?

Did you change from stock setting? You get zombie state if USB port can't provide enough amperage. On multiple devices, if one device acts up, that can't affect the other ones. Single stock is most stable but multi stock you should expect them to zombie hopefully later than sooner.


I did increase clock frequency to 700-something. Two are plugged directly into mobo and one in USB on front side of comp. I'll try to go back to stick and see if they can work uninterrupted for couple days at least. This is on Windows 7 computer.

Im working on a fix to keep the alive automatically. The current dead/restart logic is bugged in bfgminer, so I'm going to implement it directly in the driver. Should have a new release out in the next few days.


any idea when the driver release may be available with auto-restart? once my hub comes i'm thinking about just loading minera on my raspberry pi but until then...

I just noticed that my speeds on litecoinpool.org are in kH/s (I'm currently getting 8.6-8.7 kH/s with two sticks) - isn't that 1,000 times slower than the 8.6-8.7 MH/s I should be getting, or am I understanding it incorrectly?

It's right for me, here's the math:

1 kH/s is 1,000 hashes per second (sometimes mistakenly written KH/s).
1 MH/s is 1,000,000 hashes per second.



edit: I see you say 8.6-8.7kH - mine shows 4,542kH/s for one stick right now.. Did you mean something different maybe 8600kH/s? That is what I would expect for 8.6MH/s.
