BFGMiner is a modular, multi-threaded ASIC/FPGA/GPU/CPU miner for Bitcoin and other blockchains, written in C. It supports dynamic clocking, monitoring, fan speed control, multiple pools and blockchains, and remote interface capabilities.

Use cases

  • mine bitcoin with ASIC or FPGA hardware
  • manage multiple mining pools from one miner
  • overclock and monitor mining hardware
  • control fan speeds for mining rigs
  • mine on multiple blockchains simultaneously
  • run mining through an HTTP or SOCKS proxy
  • remotely monitor and control a miner via RPC

When to choose

  • you need a C-based miner with fine-grained hardware control like clocking and fan speed
  • you run heterogeneous ASIC/FPGA/GPU hardware and want one tool
  • you need multi-pool and multi-blockchain support with proxy options

When to avoid

  • you want a modern actively developed miner with current ASIC support
  • you need plug-and-play GUI mining software
  • you mine coins requiring algorithms not supported by BFGMiner
