Title: How to run 2 miners from different manufacturers
Post by: airbornesnowman on July 11, 2014, 07:49:49 PM
Hi everyone, I'm new to mining and started pool mining this week with a Antminer U2 from my PC. I just purchased a Rockminer R-box and I'm wondering how I would run both at the same time. I'm using bfgminer for the U2 currently and have a command file for that.

I'm reading that the R-box only works with cgminer so I would have to run zadig to replace the driver and my first question is I would have to start using cgminer for the U2 also if I'm correct?

Second question is if I have both the U2 and R-box on cgminer, do I create 2 different command files for each one and then have 2 separate command windows running or can I combine the code for both miners into one command file and have just one command window?

Thanks for any help in advance

cgminer should detect both devices without any problems.

How is that related to OP's problem, and what exactly does your "rbillig bot" do?

You can have multiple CGminer windows selecting device to mine.

I wish i could help on the setup of drivers together on those two but I do not own those products.

Zadig simply helps you to install your driver. Run two cgminers with diffierent config files. I don't think you can combine both of the codes together since both of them requires different configurations.
