Title: bfgminer - block erupter noob question
Post by: notlist3d on July 18, 2013, 07:06:13 PM
What do command will allow me to use all my block erupter's  within bfgminer, and not use the graphics cards.   I want bfg to just be mining with the erupters.   And i am mining other coins with graphics cards.

From the README.txt in the directory of the program :

"GPU mining can be disabled by specifying the -S opencl:noauto option."

I can't say any more because i use cgminer......

With cgminer do you still have to specify each comm port?

Technically, no, but I still have not talked to anyone who has gotten the new version of CGMiner to work (the one that doesn't require you to specify each individual port).  Most people I know still use 3.1.1 as it works better.  It's not that big of a deal.  You specify once in the config file and then you don't have to worry about it unless you change your HW setup.
