Hello, new user here trying to get my first of two pieces of mining gear going. I have a Cryptorig Hitchhiker usb stick (Bitfury ASIC, same chip used in red fury, blue fury). I downloaded the latest BFGminer, plugged in my usb stick, and then launched BFGminer using the following: bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u myBTCaddress.HH -p x -S all --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=50
The light on the ubs stick comes on briefly, the screen displays: "Started bfgminer 5.1.0"
Then the light goes out, nothing happens on the screen, then it quits with: "No server could be used! Exiting."
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

./cgminer.exe -n
will tell you if you have zadig setup correctly since it will show you the device if it is setup correctly
Thanks, I will try that, too. So far no amount of restarting, replugging, or re-drivering has had any effect. I'm booting up an old laptop to see if I have any luck with another computer. EDIT Ok, here's the result, looks good to me (?). USB all: found 6 devices - listing known devices .USB dev 0: Bus 1 Device 1 ID 10c4:ea60 Manufacturer: 'Silicon Labs' Product: 'CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller' 1 known USB devices

Tried the libusb-win32 driver thru Zadig just for kicks and cgminer told me I need a WinUSB driver for the device, so it seems my system is seeing something there. Gives me hope at least, must dance more.

but numerous goes at restarting the computer, unplugging and plugging it in again and doing the zadig dance or praying to certain gods might help.
Commencing dance, will report later on outcome. I've contacted the reseller as well. Thank you so much for your help. And yes, I am quite familiar with baud ratings. Only asked because it's a suggested setting in the U3 user guide. My first modem was a 300/1200 baud. When I got my 9600/14.4k with compression I couldn't believe how fast it was; hurray for the good ol' BBS days.

The U3s are notoriously unreliable even out of the factory I'm afraid. Try a different cable than the one they gave you and make sure they're only connected to a USB2 slot or a separate hub with usb2 slots if you are trying in usb3 slots. Those commands are missing an extra hyphen: --au3-volt
Tried a different cable and no dice. The little red light inside the U3 comes on when I plug in either cable, and my comp sees when I plug it in, so I think the cable is not an issue. My computer is old, it doesn't have usb3, so no issue there. Anything else I could try, besides contacting the seller for a replacement? When I add the extra hyphen to --au3-volt --au3-freq --suggest-diff those options get accepted at the command line, thank you. How would I set the baud rate and timeout for the U3, I do not see that option. I see "--bitmain-options Set bitmain options baud:miners:asic:timeout:freq", but not sure if that is the correct option, or what value I would use for miners, asic, or freq (since freq appears to be set by --au3-freq). Additionally, when it says "press q to quit", pressing q doesn't do anything. Thank you.

New user here, just wanting to try mining for the "lottery" effect, as well as contribute to the bitcoin network.
My first piece of mining gear arrirved yesterday, an antminer U3. I Installed and configured it correctly w/driver and zadig. Downloaded latest cgminer (4.9.1), ran cgminer with the following: cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u MYADDRESS.0 -p xx3
And I receive: No Devices Detected!
Any suggestions? Thank you.
And a separate issue with command line options (may be related to No Devices Attached?), I tried inserting a few of the U3 specific options at the command line, -au3-volt -au3-freq, but each returns the error: cgminer.exe: -au3-volt: unrecognized option
If I try to insert any command line option that starts with '-s', -suggest-diff for example, I get this error: cgminer.exe: -s: 'uggest-diff' is not a number
Please help this noob if you can, I'm anxious to get this going! Thanks again in advance.

Hi man, I will confirm at once. Since this campaign still not limited the participants to join in, you will enroll. Will update the doc later, still being busy celebrating Chinese new year ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Thank you, and happy new year.

Right on, thanks for the info. There are a lot of old vineyards around here, I'll poke around and see if any is around here. I've got some land, plenty of room to dry wood.

Well when you put it like that it certainly makes sense. Thanks. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

or how 'hacking' works
I've seen it on tv, you sit at a computer and type frantically on the keyboard and *BOOM*, you're a hacker. 133t

Looking for the following woods in bulk quantity for the next few weeks or until i find enough to fill the empty slots in the warehouse. Mango Wood: Can be found domestically in Florida or far southern California. I live in southern California, where would I go to collect/find/purchse Mango wood? I'd be happy to supply you if I am able.

This whole thing was a joke. If you look at the addresses he used in the coffee shop, they literally have 2 transactions. They havent been used since filming, it was a BS thing.
Wait, are you saying they did something on a "real" TV show that was scripted and set up? No way, get out of town! ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Seems to me like a great opportunity here for someone to step in and make upgrade kits for all the S1 and S2 boxes out there, it would be like printing BTC. If only I had the know-how and resources...
Thats wishful thinking ..... I actually thought we were very close to that but bitmain are having none of it thus far. Case in mind was the much touted / dubbed C2, or water-cooled S5 where bitmain had come to an understanding with syscooling to sell them boards and they do a design and group buy. Bitmain pulled the plug at the last minute! I've also heard noises that bitmain are agnostic to selling boards (aka upgrade kits) anymore because it costs them a lot to test the boards .... apparently! So there ... Right, but what's stopping a 3rd party from stepping in and offering upgrades? That's what I'm surprised hasn't happened. Someone (several someones) could start a business doing nothing else and I'm sure it would be profitable. Oh well, wishful thinking as you said... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

pseudo-legal mumbo jumbo
Cite case and precedent for your claims. You're trying to be tricky and clever, but little of what you say is "truth". Nice try. Everyone saying that buying mining rigs and electricity to mine is the same as buying a lottery ticket to play the lotto, but it's totally and completely different. When you buy a lottery ticket that money goes to the entity hosting the lottery and the only thing you can do with your purchase is play the lottery. Carrying that line of thinking over to bitcoin mining is absurd and illogical, and barely even worth commenting on in its stupidity. If someone has to tell you they're telling the truth, most likely they are not.

Do we receive a confirmation once accepted to the campaign?
You must check the doc in the first page. If the answer was there I wouldn't have had to ask. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I understand the doc shows who is in, but that's not my question.

You could always store your paper wallets/backups in a safety deposit box, or multiple copies in multiply boxes, I think that would alleviate much of your worries.
