Title: Best software for 2 Antminer U1's? And overclocking? Post by: kadrek on February 03, 2014, 08:55:16 AM I ordered a couple of Antminer U1's just to play with and I'm wondering what mining software would be the best to use. Is there a good guide on how to set them up?
Also, in the amazon review by DJ Knight he says he was able to overclock them to 2.5 GH/s using AntGen. Is that not safe as they only say to overclock to 2.2 GH/s? And where would I find the newest version of AntGen? Or should I not use it? Here's the amazon page, http://www.amazon.com/Bitmain-Antminer-Block-Erupter-1-6Gh/product-reviews/B00HIUIGDI/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1 I posted this in a different forum section before I found this one D: sorry Title: Re: Best software for 2 Antminer U1's?

Is there a good guide on how to set them up? Use BFGminer or CGminer to mine with your U1s. I prefer BFGminer because it looks a bit better, but they both do the same job. and have a look here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=437666.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=437666.0) on setting it up.

All overclocking has some detrimental effect, and carries some risk of damage. Not all devices can be o/c'd to the same level. Start with a small overclock, then make small steps checking the hardware errors and stability. Extra cooling may be required. Title: Re: Best software for 2 Antminer U1's? And overclocking?

Don't do it aggressively...instead increase the clock rate step by step... Title: Re: Best software for 2 Antminer U1's? And overclocking?
