PPS if you've got intermittent connection or miners, PPLNS for solid miners on a good internet connection. 

PPS is good if you're using BTCGuild as a backup pool.  PPLNS if it's your main pool.

That's my take on it.

That worked.  Pleased to announce BFG is happily mining away with 11 Block Erupters on a TL-WR703N with a 4GB USB stick.

RAM is a bit tight, but I think it'd run the HTTP proxy thingymabob for the Blades, too, if a nice developer could compile it in. 

Thanks for the advice, I'll try that later.  I should have realised about screen - I used that when setting up p2pool.

I've got my TP-Link 703N up and running with OpenWRT, and a 4GB USB stick as / - plenty of space.  Got bfgminer installed.  When I run it, I get the "All Devices Disabled, Cannot Mine!" error.  I assume I'm missing the VCP drivers?  Any pointers on how to get Erupters mining on this thing?

Stupid linux-noob question here.  How do I run bfgminer so it doesn't stop mining when I log out? 

I want to be able to SSH in to my linux box, run BFGMiner, and log out and have it run on.  Currently when I do, an close my SSH session, the miner stops.

Oh man?  You said "You need a RPi to run the BitFury USB stick".   To me that's final.  As in, it'll NEVER work on PC.  Well, yes, it will work on a PC once drivers are written.

You write as if it's final.  It's not.  It's just a matter of time.

P2Pool on a Pi?  Really?

Technically, at the moment you don't need anything at all, because they're not for sale...

You do know I'm not talking about the blades?  You do know I am talking about the Block Erupter style BitFury USB sticks? 

You must have a hell of a setup now.  How many GH/s now, if you don't mind me asking?

Broken.

EFA.   

So they can work on normal computers, and don't need a RPi?  They just need some drivers written.  Glad we sorted that one out then. 

The LittleFury is what I was talking about.  

The author of the "other" miner says that you MUST run the BitFury chips off a RPi.  Herp Derp. 

Luke-Jr, have you heard anything about the BitFury USB miners?  Someone says they need to be plugged in to a RPi, which sounds like bollocks to me.  USB is USB is USB...and the Pi has a shitty USB implementation if we're being fair to it.

Surely it's just a case of drivers?

I don't understand why you NEED a Pi for the BitFurys?  That doesn't really make any sense.  Yes, the BitFury Blades, but the USB ones?  I call BS.

They WORK at Diff1.  cgminer/bfgminer is handing them diff2 work.  There's a difference.

Yep, my node is down at the moment due to a popped PSU.  It'll be back up in the next few days, and I'll have a couple of Blades connecting to it - along with what I'm already running, that should be ~30GH/s coming back to p2pool.

The Bitfury-based USB miners look like they'll be the next "big thing" - 2.5GH/s+ on a USB stick.  I know I'll be replacing my Erupters with a rack of them.

The dimming LED issue shouts power problems with the hub.

Since you're getting COM ports coming up when you do get the miners plugged in, why not try bfgminer - will save you messing about further with WinUSB drivers.

That's a good one then.  I had an Agility3 that was replaced 7 times under warranty.  2 of them were DOA, 3 lasted less than an hour before freaking out, and the other two lasted about a month each.  Junk.

Best SSD I have is an old Kingston V+200 - it's taken a severe beating 24/7 for years in my download server, and it's been totally solid.  Amazing performance from an old Sandforce drive.  And it's still on it's release firmware.
