Title: Debian compatible free software for mining available? Post by: Daily Anarchist on August 02, 2013, 11:07:09 PM I run Debian and have zero nonfree software on my machine. Ideally, I'd like to be able to buy one of those USB ASICs for $20 and simply plug it into my machine and run my free, open source mining software. Is this possible? If not, why not?
