Ah sorry again you can replace bfgminer with
http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/macminer/downloads/bfgminer313dirtyfixed.zip

and that should fix it for you! Will push 1.4.5 now.

Dirty indicates that the version has been taken from github directly rather than the main 3.1.3 version that Luke makes available. I will tend to use the stable versions but if there's a benefit in an update that hasn't been released yet I'll get  the code from head.

Odd, the old 'new dirty version' as well as the official 1.4.4 version worked fine for me. I am on a Late 2010 Mac Mini running 10.8.4.
Wonder what went wrong for the others, 1.3.17 always crashed on me when trying to mine with any number of block erupters, 1.4.3 worked but was picky with the flags (i.e. -S all wouldn't work...)
Also, I get no temp reading on 1.4.4, there isn't even any text in the window, it's just a large blank grey spot there under 'Accepted'...

Nice thought but honestly, I can get better exposure doing it another way. If I was to pay someone for advertising I would pay someone who could expose me to MUCH more views than 32 random posts, lol.
You would need to address the guarantee that you would be able to expose my offering to a MUCH larger audience and guarantee that you would be around and posting for X number of months/years/decades. How can you guarantee exposure by simply posting in the forums? You can't... A fool and his money is easily parted indeed...

Good luck

Sorry again everyone, due to unexpected circumstances I have limited net connectivity right now!

Here's a version of bfgminer you can replace the existing version with, so replace

/Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer

with the bfgminer folder compressed here:

http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/macminer/downloads/bfgminer313dirty.zip

An updated beta version will be up very soon!

Even better! Thanks sir!
Now you can use the -S all flag for mining ALL devices (if you want to disable a device just put in the appropriate flag i.e. -G for no gpu, etc.)

I run with the following settings for cpu, gpu and multiple Block Erupters... -S all --no-submit-stale
Works beautifully for combined hashing, awesome!

it's my understanding that cgminer has autodetect and will mine on the block erupters without drivers installed (at least that was my experience) so that probably explains how yours did too. BFGMiner will require drivers and flags to locate the miners.
Macminer uses BFG miner version 3.1.1 (which is a pain in the arse and should really be updated to version 3.1.3 asap). I personally run BFG miner 3.1.3 (command line from the terminal) with my erupters with great success but it required some extra steps to install properly.

Assuming you are running on a mac computer, right?

Here is what I did to get things running...

Pre-requisit: Install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers from Silicon Labs located here: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

Then go to this website and follow the instructions there:
http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/04/24/bitcoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-cgminer-bfgminer/
One note, when installing bfgminer run the command with the flag -head (i.e. brew install bfgminer -head to get a working 3.1.3 that will recognize the block erupters properly)

Good luck mate

bitinstant takes cash for a fee of 3.9% to purchase bit coins. What's wrong with doing things the traditional way? Besides, you can make out like a bandit if you time the market right. Just a few days ago I bought several block erupters for ~$65.00/each because BTC was valued @ $62.00/BTC (for a short time)...
YMMV
