BFGMiner is based upon the aforementioned CGMiner, but is designed specifically for ASIC mining hardware. The client is also compatible with FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) devices and can be configured to work with some graphics cards – but it's unlikely you'll make a profit from these.
Now you can let Bitcoin, p2pool and bfgminer work. Bitcoin window and two terminal windows must remain open. First terminal displays p2pool statistics continuously and the other continuously displays bfgminer statistics. At its first start, p2pool created a new Bitcoin address in your Bitcoin wallet. Bfgminer a modular asic/fpga bitcoin miner last version: Braiins os is part of satoshi labs and is the creation of the original inventor of mining pools, marek slush palatinus. Easyminer acts as a convenient wrapper for the built in cg & bfgminer softwares. All mined bitcoins go directly to your bitcoin wallet.
BFGMiner – mining program for using GPU (graphic cards) BFGMiner has a distinctive feature that distinguishes it from other similar programs. This is the ability to interact with FPGA-devices. In addition to the simplicity of setting up BFGminer, this feature makes it the most popular among not only experienced miners, but also beginners. Pros: Powerful miner with many features, Cross platform, including Raspberry Pi. Cons: GPUs not supported, Suitable for more advanced users. Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux. Unlike CGminer, BFGminer is designed specifically for FPGA and ASICs and doesn’t support GPU mining. More oriented towards the tweaking audience, it features.
As BFGMiner has a narrow focus, it has more features to allow you to tinker with mining devices, such as overclocking and using a remote interface. It also monitors the temperature of most devices and can connect to multiple mining pools. Furthermore, BFGMiner will stop connecting to unreachable pools, saving you precious system resources.
The interface is text-based, but as with CGminer, options are very clearly laid out. You can make use of hotkeys to perform routine tasks such as monitoring pools, identifying devices and enabling extra features.
Besides offering a simple text interface and an arsenal of features, BFGMiner is available for Windows and all major flavors of Linux. BFGminer can be installed on a Raspberry Pi, too, as part of the free Minera operating system.

| Version | Notes |
| De Stijl Art Factory: free art generator and colouring app for iPhone and iPad | Please support FabulousPanda by checking out our latest creation: |
| bfgminer 5.4.2 | Fix some possible edge case problems with stratum proxying (--stratum-port). openwrt: Binary packages for 15.05 'Chaos Calmer'. Fix 2D work support for GBT servers (requires libblkmaker 0.5.3 or newer). |
| Where's the Meerkat? | Please support FabulousPanda by checking out our latest creation: |
| bfgminer 5 | Multi-blockchain support: BFGMiner can now be told which pools use the same 'mining goals', and will track the blockchain independently for ones that don't. This allows you to mine multiple cryptocurrencies concurrently using any pool strategy (including balance and load-balance). Multi-algorithm support: BFGMiner is now capable of hashing on both scrypt and SHA256d work at the same time, and you can assign the mining algorithm to use on a per-goal basis. As with multi-blockchain support, this works even in balancing strategies. Note that at this time, only CPU, OpenCL, and Proxy drivers actually support multiple algorithms at the same time (DualMiner must be preconfigured for only one, and GridSeed remains scrypt-only). Stratum extensions for mining goals: New experimental methods mining.capabilities and mining.set_goal for Stratum allow you to expose control of the mining algorithm to the pool. These extensions are considered draft and may be changed based on the needs of multiblockchain pool operators. RPC: Also extended for multiple mining goals/algorithms. Interface is subject to change. kncasic: New driver for KnCMiner Neptune (and 2nd-gen Jupiter modules). minion: New driver for BlackArrow Prospero X1.5. titan: Work flushing optimisations from KnCMiner, and reduce processor view from per-core to per-die. Keccak: Support for the SHA-3 winner hash as a proof-of-work algorithm. opencl: Workaround broken global work offset support in buggy drivers. opencl: GPU mining is now disabled by default for scrypt. Use -S opencl:auto to enable it. |
| Completely Free to Play Web Games! | FabulousPanda also hosts an online arcade of free games, including soduko, 2048 and hextris. |
| bfgminer 4.10 (VERSION REMOVED) | minergate: Support for Spondoolies SP30. titan: Numerous fixes and improvements from the KnCMiner team. |
| bfgminer 3.10 | Support for AntMiner U1, Drillbit, and HashFast devices. Option --weighed-stats to display share-count columns (A/R) weighed to difficulty 1. x6500: maxclock setting (use with --set-device) to limit dynamic clocking range. opencl/adl: Fixed crash on exit with R9 series GPUs. |
| bfgminer 3.9 | hashbusterusb: Voltage/VRM controls, and support for identify function (5 second LED colour change). nanofury: Support for identify function by turning LED off for 5 seconds. twinfury: Support for voltage information/control. Linux: New udev rules file to automatically put supported (and autodetectable) mining devices in the 'video' UNIX group. |
| bfgminer 3.8.1 | - Bug fixes - Compiled without little fury driver |
| bfgminer 3.6 | - klondike: New driver, just imported from cgminer mostly as-is for now. - opencl: Support will remain, but it is not compiled by default. This version is compiled with opencl support. |
