Hello! I've seen a lot of other people reporting this error, but none of the other solutions have worked for me so far. I've temporarily suspended firewalls and other antivirus from Windows (Windows Defender) and other antivirus software. I've also tried downloading BFGminer from the main website and extracting it directly into the MultiMiner folder.

Total beginner here, so all advice is appreciated. Thanks!

In the directory create a folder called "Miners" and in that folder create a folder called "bfgminer". Then put bfgminer files in it.

Have the same issue on macOs 10.14.6. I tried to put the bfgminer files to the /Applications/MultiMiner.app/Contents/Resources/Miners/BFGMiner folder, but it didn't help

Manually download 16 bit arch bfgminer (important 16 bit) and follow FearTheHorde suggestion...for me worked. (dectails here https://bit.ly/3ef7T1P )
Now I have another problem related error 404 connecting to host starting Multiminer...any suggestions?

In the directory create a folder called "Miners" and in that folder create a folder called "bfgminer". Then put bfgminer files in it.

I'm running Windows 10 and tried to 64bit version from http://bfgminer.org/ but was getting an error on version number after adding it to the Folder...

I downloaded the 32bit version and copy/pasted into the folder (deleted the 64bit files first). It now scans my hardware and found my video card, however, it still says Error checking backend miner availability (404). I ignored this.

I'm trying to set this up with Binance Pool and was able to manually enter in the Pool information afterwards in the settings, clicked Start Mining and away we go.

Hope this helps!

In the directory create a folder called "Miners" and in that folder create a folder called "bfgminer". Then put bfgminer files in it.

I'm running Windows 10 and tried to 64bit version from http://bfgminer.org/ but was getting an error on version number after adding it to the Folder...

I downloaded the 32bit version and copy/pasted into the folder (deleted the 64bit files first). It now scans my hardware and found my video card, however, it still says Error checking backend miner availability (404). I ignored this.

I'm trying to set this up with Binance Pool and was able to manually enter in the Pool information afterwards in the settings, clicked Start Mining and away we go.

Hope this helps!

Wait, what are we using MultiMiner for at this point?
Its whole purpose is to

  1. Download a compatible version of BFG
  2. configure BFG according to our hardware
  3. help setting up a pool connection

If the project is as dead as it seems, it's just a hardware scanner with extra steps o.o
