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
