2014 May 26th — The BFGMiner development team today announced the immediate availability of BFGMiner 4.0, the latest major release of the world’s leading cryptocurrency mining software.Designed to support today’s diversity of miners, BFGMiner 4 delivers a flexible foundation needed for mining at home or as a business.Available for over two years, since the advent of consumer-friendly FPGA miners, BFGMiner has earned a reputation for performance and reliability.Today, miners all over the world rely on BFGMiner for their mission-critical mining rigs.With the new 4.0 release, BFGMiner gains automatic hotplugging support, proxy support for GBT and scrypt pools, a common/shared interface for all devices, as well as support for some of the newest ASIC mining hardware: Butterfly Labs’s Monarch, BFx2 mining sticks, newer Drillbit miners, the bi-algorithm scrypt/SHA256d DualMiner USB stick, GridSeed scrypt ASIC miners, HashBuster Alpha, Hex•Fury, NanoFury NF2/NF6, and OneStringMiner boards.

OpenCL support as well as scrypt support in general have also seen major improvements.Planned for upcoming versions, the BFGMiner team aims to expand flexibility, improved decentralised mining, integrating more proof-of-work algorithms, and native support for concurrently mining multiple cryptocurrencies.”BFGMiner is my go-to choice for mining software.mine bitcoin with scryptIt is fast, simple to use and has excellent support with a huge community behind it.bitcoin turfThere is so much I can do with it from run a single miner to a whole farm.5 gh/s bitcoin miner kaufenBFGMiner is available for almost every platform: Windows users can download it from the website, Mac OS X support is provided using Homebrew, and most Linux distributions provide official packages.ethereum token list

Additionally, BFGMiner is integrated into many frontends such as EasyMiner, MacMiner, MinePeon, MultiMiner, and Portable Instant Mining Platform.Luke Dashjr is the lead developer of BFGMiner, having started the project in 2012 to add FPGA support to a popular GPU miner of the time.bitcoin ppt templateBesides his work on BFGMiner, Luke is actively involved in core Bitcoin development, maintains the advanced mining pool software Eloipool, and spends much time on general cryptocurrency research.Nate Woolls joined the project in the past year as the scrypt/Mac/Windows lead developer.bitcoin wert zukunftIn addition to his many driver contributions to BFGMiner, he also maintains the MultiMiner GUI frontend for BFGMiner and the MobileMiner service for remote miner monitoring and control.Many others have also contributed to BFGMiner.See the AUTHORS text file included with the BFGMiner distribution for a more comprehensive list.

There’s been some weird ideas that if Lightning takes off, bitcoin miners might not make money from fees any more.Those of us involved are scratching our heads at this, but lets work it out:TL;DR: The bitcoin userbase is tiny.If we finally make bitcoin catch on for daily usage, miners will be just fine…Lightning payments are limited to 0.042 bitcoin.Large lightning payments are less reliable: it’s harder to find a route with the capacity you need.In practice, the 0.042 limit is an upper bound.Lightning charges fees by amount; miners charge by weight.So larger amounts will always be cheaper to send on-chain.My node currently says a median-sized transaction should pay 0.00047; that’s a 1% fee for a 0.042 bitcoin transaction which is pretty cheap.If lightning isn’t successful, miners don’t need to worry about it.If lightning is successful (because of instant payments, micropayments) that means many more users actually need to buy bitcoin.The price increase helps miners even more than the rest of us.To get everyone on the planet one lightning channel each will take 63 years of current bitcoin blocks.

Less with coming improvements, but miners can expect at least a couple of decades of generous fees as everyone gets onto lightning.And we recommend everyone get more than two channels.Even once everyone is on lightning, you still need to go on-chain to make a payment when your peer is unreachable.With ten million channels used once a day at 99.99% reliability, we’d expect 1000 on-chain transactions from that alone.In practice, people will want to add more channel capacity, create new channels and remove profits to cold storage: all of these need onchain transactions.After the first few million users, that transaction volume becomes significant.I’m more excited about micropayments becoming a reality, but that’s a topic for a whole other post…ShareAsk Ubuntu Sign up or log in to customize your list._ Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top up vote 8 down vote favorite 4 I just installed bitcoin-qt wallet on Ubuntu 14.04 and have synced with the bitcoin network.

How do I install a mining program that will enable me to join a mining pool?bitcoin up vote down vote To mine bitcoins use cpuminer (click here) and avoid any graphical application: a console application is faster and doesn't need much memory.This may be the reason why bitcoin-qt wallet has dropped the official support for bitcoin mining.You should compile cpuminer from the source code to obtain optimal performance.Binary packages are not optimized for your system and therefore are often slower.To execute the cpuminer installation + compilation procedure on Ubuntu, follow this askUbuntu topic.WARNING: don't use cpuminer or any miner software on remote hosted machines, it's considered as an abuse of common resources and can be treated as an attack to the hosted system.NOTE: Bitcoin mining is very time consuming and you need a very powerful network of server machines to obtain even a small result (less than a bitcoin in most cases).This is due to the fact that you are competing with people and organizations running highly specialized hardware (ASIC miners, FPGA devices etc.)
