Title: Trying to make Block Erupter work
Post by: Hamukione on July 24, 2017, 05:40:30 PM
Hi, everyone.

I am playing around with some old mining gear, but I can't get BFGMiner to find my little block erupter.

It doesn't find the miner at all and I can't find any reasons why this is an issue.

I have installed all drivers and so on.

My config: bfgminer -o http://localhost -u myname -p mypassword --disable-gpu -S all

Anyone got some ideas?

Thanks :)

First does the pc see it?

Second did you ever load zadig drivers?

If you did they must be removed.

Try bfgminer thread as

Lastly this is alt altcoins are you mining btc with them!

1. PC does see it and everything.
2. Must I load these every time I plug the miners into the PC?
3. I want to mine altcoins with these tiny miners, not BTC :)
