Local Devices

MultiMiner supports a wide variety of local devices (such as USB ASICs and GPUs) by using BFGMiner as a backend miner for detecting hardware.

Note you will need to install the right system drivers for the Operating System you are running.

Scan Hardware

MultiMiner will automatically scan your system for local devices the first time it is run.

Afterward, you can scan for devices by using the application context menu.

Settings

You can configure how hardware is scanned in the Advanced Miner Settings dialog.

  • Arguments - Hardware scan: Specify arguments that will be passed to BFGMiner when scanning for hardware
  • Disable USB probing: Disable the (sometimes invasive) probing of USB devices during hardware scan

Troubleshooting

First, ensure you have the right system drivers installed for your Operating System.

If you are still having trouble, MultiMiner logs both the arguments passed to BFGMiner as well as the output when scanning for mining hardware. These log files are stored in the OS-specific temporary directory.
