BFGMiner v5.5.0: CPU/GPU/FPGA/ASIC miner for Linux/Windows

DOWNLOAD: BFGMINER v5.5.0

BFGMiner 5.5.0 is a modular cryptocurrency miner written in C. BFGMiner has the ability to dynamically clock, monitor and remotely interface.

Pros: powerful miner with many features, cross-platform, including Raspberry Pi
Cons: GPUs are not supported, suitable for more advanced users
Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux

Unlike CGminer, BFGminer is designed specifically for FPGA and ASIC. And more focused on a thin audience, it has the functions of dynamic synchronization, monitoring and remote interface. In addition to the universal program, BFGminer is also cross-platform, including the installation option on the Raspberry Pi, which is quite convenient. Although a text-based interface, the interface is very simple, and you can use hotkeys to view the various options that it offers. Finally, BFGminer has a watchdog thread to detect free threads and restart them or stop failed reconnections to save you resources. Among the ASICs supported by BitMinter, you can find Antminer U1 / U2, Block Erupter USB, Red / Blue Fury and others.

Builtin stratum and getwork proxy server
Very low overhead free C code for Linux and Windows with very low CPU usage
Integrated overclocking and fan control (including automatic adjustment, if configured)
Heavily threaded code hands out work retrieval and work submission to separate threads to not hinder devices working
Caching of submissions during transient network outages
Preemptive generation of work prior to completion of current work
Automatically detects failing pools and disables them
Multi-device support (all or discrete selection)
Summarised and discrete device data statistics of requests, accepts, rejects, hw errors, efficiency and utility
Watchdog thread to restart idle threads but not crash machine if they don’t respond
Summary displayed when quitting
Supports multiple pools with multiple intelligent failover mechanisms
On the fly menu based management of most settings
Trickling of extra work to backup pools if primary pool is responding but slow
On the fly enabling/disable/restarting of devices
Device temperature monitoring (for devices that support it)
Reuses persistent connections when possible
RPC interface for remote control
Ability to cope with slow routers
Lots of other stuff I can’t remember. See options.
