Title: Trying out new scrypt hardware (In need of help) Post by: mrpetrus on January 27, 2016, 08:06:57 PM Hello everyone!
I have recently bought mining hardware from ebay, a small USB-stick that mine scrypt coins and so far I have set up almost everything (pool settings, choosen miner and so on... kind of). None of my minerers that im testing (cgminer 3.7.2 and bfgminer 5.4.1) can find my usb stick, I have tried to use the "--usb" option on both miners but I just get the error "--usb: unrecognized option". I have tried to add the hardware manually in bfgminer by adding devices but I don't know the name of the device or it's target (and I don't know how to find it), so yea... I' stuck there too. I have also tried to use "-S all" option in both miners but I get the error "-s: 'all' is not a number". I have installed the latest Silicon labs VCP driver so the stick is seen as a COM-port but without result. I have tried zadig and replace the drivers with winUSB drivers (I think the latest) but no luck. Here is the settings for cgminer 3.7.2 Code: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u klas.workerLitecoinPool -p 123 And for bfgminer Code: bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u klas.workerLitecoinPool -p 123 The link to the usb-stick from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dogecoi-ltc-Litecoin-Miner-mining-ASIC-USB-All-SCRYPT-Coins-Virtual-Currency-/331680710765?hash=item4d39b6006d:g:INUAAOSwo0JWHP2I Im stuck at every point and I'm at the brink of giving up. Would be thankful if anyone know what the solution is and could help me! :) PS. Sorry if I have misspelled anything :P Title: Re: Trying out new scrypt hardware (In need of help) Post by: wmtomlinso on January 28, 2016, 08:27:37 AM for both settings you need to put --scrypt after cgminer/bfgminer

I got it finally to work. I just needed to enter "--scrypt" after "bfgminer" and then in the miner I could just enter the com-port, and the miner found it instantly.
Thanks again for the help! Title: Re: Trying out new scrypt hardware (In need of help) Post by: mrpetrus on February 11, 2016, 12:41:20 PM I just added "-S" attribute and specified the COM-port. You should find them in controlpanel under "devices and printers", if not you can install drivers for them, they should be here: https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx#windows. My COM-port was "COM3".
Title: Re: Trying out new scrypt hardware (In need of help) Post by: XERES on February 11, 2016, 04:12:14 PM What a god damn nightmare... How much hashrate are they giving, Also are you using the pool as a reference to their hashrate or the actually miner (Bfgminer)Finally got them working. I'm using Windows 10 and since they are Miner/USB Storage they were being installed as both a 'Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge' and a 'UDisk' (USB Disk). I kept trying to Remove Device on the UDisk while trying to add on BFGMiner then it eventually works. I'm not 100% sure this is all right but they are showing up but NOTHING near advertised speed. Cost is not worth the pain in the ass in my opinion. If they dont pull their act together they will both get the hammer... |
