Title: splitting block erupters into groups Post by: helipotte on November 04, 2013, 04:05:45 AM Might be a dumb question but here goes. ;D
I have about 100 erupters, want only 50 to show in a window. All are connected to the same computer (Win 7 x64). Using cgminer 3.6.6. Reason for this is I use these to mine smaller SHA256 alts. This way I can mine two coins at once. Banks of many erupters seem to keep up with fast coins quite well, if set up correctly. Thought it could be done by specifying com port range in config but winusb driver does not seem to assign com ports to erupters.

Read about the --usb command in the main README Title: Re: splitting block erupters into groups Post by: helipotte on November 04, 2013, 04:15:21 PM So to clarify, if I wanted to mine with two 49 port block erupter groups using two cgminer windows, in the config for each one I would put:
--usb :49 This way the first instance would only detect 49 of the 98 units and the second instance would detect the rest. Is the correct?

Is the correct? I would use "--usb ICA:49" But if you only have block erupters for USB miners then you are correct. I would set a number for the second instance too. |
