Hi all, I've finally managed to get my 51 ASICMINER Block Eruptor setup up and running on Bitminter. The problem I have is that the client often on restart won't find more than 4 devices despite scanning all ports. I've also tried rescanning just ports from last time etc. Anyone any experience of running many Erupters on Bitminter?
I also notice that when I reboot the machine I have to turn off the 5 x 10 anker hubs or Windows 7 doesn't load.

I have over 40 ASICMINER block Eruptors, and I often have to reboot several times, and restart the Bitminter client and I have to turn off the ASICMINERS and then back on again. It sometimes take me an hour to get all the ASICMINER to hash. I was wondering if I was the only one too. I don't know what the right combination is because sometime it works one way, and then the next time it doesn't. So I start over, and try different combinations to get it to work. I found watching the lights on the anker hubs is a good clue. You have to watch them cycle through their boot sequence and then watch the client. If it only finds 4 to 5 of them. I stop the client, and restart it. then sometimes it only finds 4 and then I do it again. Then I try turning off the Ankers and back on again, and wait for all the lights to stop. Then I start the client again. Then Sometimes, I still have to reboot. But once all of the chips start hashing it works. Then I go through it all over again when the site goes down. Re-scanning ports has never worked for me. I hate it when it tells me no ports found. I've plugged in just one extra ASICMINER, and then they all stop talking. Or I get a 500 error, site not available. And at that point there is nothing you can do is but reboot. But then you have to keep trying till it finds all the miners, and it usually takes me an hour to get it to work again. I'm afraid eventually, rebooting over and over will eventually break this computer.
But I think ASICMINERS will be a thing of the past real soon. TH are being added by the hundreds making our piece of the pie to small to be profitable.
