Title: Re: Block Erupter + Cgminer HW Errors?
Post by: Trongersoll on September 23, 2013, 03:18:43 AM
Been mining on my BE for about a day now (with a fan finally). I noticed on Cgminer it says HW 1 and so there's some sort of hardware error. Is this something to take note of? My BE isn't very hot to the touch and I have enough power going to it. Help? Thanks.

Hardware errors are common, about 1% of what you found if i remember right. Does CGminer show your correct hashrate? is the LED on the erupter out and blinks occasionally? Does the pool you are mining on show a reasonable hash rate? sounds like you are good to go.

A hardware error rate of 1% is nomal for most mining software. If you use BFGminer 3.2.0 or later, then it drops down to around 0.6%.

I dos not matter at all. Those usbs have between 0.5-3% depending on there age and how good they are cooled. the cooler the less HW errors :)
