Download the Latest bfgminer 3.99.0 for Windows With Gridseed ASIC Support

bfgminer-new-3-99-0-windows

We have compiled a windows binary based on the latest bfgminer 3.99.0 (source) with support for the Gridseed 5-chip ASIC miners. The code includes some improvements and fixes and you can also set finer operating frequencies in 25 MHz increments. We have been focusing on releasing updated windows binaries for cgminer lately, so the previous bfgminer windows binary that was released here a while ago is already pretty old.

You should be careful with the new release if you are using earlier Gridseed 5-chip ASIC devices that use the CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller as these apparently do not work properly with the latest bfgminer 3.99.0. The older miners are beign detected and local hashrate is getting reported, however it seems nothing gets sent to the pool, so for these you should stick to the previous binary that works just fine. For the newer Gridseed ASIC revisions that use the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (STM32 Virtual COM Port) there are no problems with the new release.

Note that we have also included a compiled version of the gridseed-support-clean bfgminer branch in the archive, so if you have trouble with one you may try with the other version and see if it will work better. You need to download the archive if you already have downloaded it in order to get both versions compiled for windows.

It seems that some more Chinese crypto currency exchanges have received notices from their banks and payment processors and the result is again some drop in the Bitcoin and other crypto currency prices as they were just starting to get back up. Following the recent announcement from the exchange Bter now it seems that BTC38, FXBTC and OKCoin have also stopped accepting Chinese Yuan deposits. It seems that another of the Chinese crypto currency exchanges called Huobi could be planning to stop accepting deposits as well. Meanwhile the situation is still not very clear, but with so many exchanges taking action it seems that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) is really trying to control the boom in crypto currency trading in China. The good news is that after the initial drop in price caused by these news this morning, now we are already seeing the BTC price starting to recover.
