tHANKS, I'm certain i'll get it now with all the advise on here, much appreciated, I believe the config file I made I could change to a .bat file as that was starting it, just cgminer uses winusb drivers rather than the silicon labs that install first time you plug eruptors in, so if I get some antminers,furys i'll need to do it anyway, learning with every wrong move and helpfull comments.

cheers.

thanks, it is driving me mad, but that's good, that's when I get to the bottomof something. I'll get it to work,somehow?

Where exactly does that command go? in a config file or ? anywhere ive typed it  I get a nnot an executable file or something like that? will I need to change all the drivers on my usb's reboot then try cgminer, if I want to upgrade I need to learn how to use it.

Some kid will have a how to on youtube,they aways do......LOL

Hi, OK, Been trying it out, cgminer that is, getting mixed messages,some say make a .bat file, others(?most)a config file so I made a config file, the part that is puzzling me, "user_worker" lets say my worker was newbit which it isn't,should that be user_newbit ? or should it be my login at bitminter lets say it's RealNewbit, that would be " RealNewbit_Newbit "

I know I'll have to change drivers to start with cgminer but I need to learn it if i'm going to try and get better hardware.

Thanks.

Excellent, thanks for your help and explaining it in a way that is pretty much idiot proof. 

so, no file needed? just type that command with my user(worker)name and pw into the X-Terminal that opens up on cgminer and i'm off? if so, I can do that...lol    Thanks mate, And Happy New Year,may it be a fruitful one.

Tnanks, I had better start learning how to use cgminer for Bitminter then, have it dowloaded but I believe I need to make a file so it knows to connect to the site?

Hi, another Newb Question, will these newer USB Devices AntMiner/Blue/redFury etc. work in a USB Hub alongside the basic block eruptors I have? They could massivelly improve my Ghs on the little £ that I have, I don't want to sell some of my RC Gear to find they are incompatible.

Thanks for any help.

p.s I get a message saying I posted less than x amount of seconds ago when I havn't logged in for at least a day or 2?

Received, Thankyou.

Looks like a winner to me, no-brainer to be in if you can,... so In I am.

Thanks again.

Just found the SatoshiG site, looking Cool,

Can I try it out?

Edit: I became an affilliatte, So i'll place the link in suitable places where the BitCrew go 

Hi, real newbie question, i'm using block eruptors, not many, 6, but i'm just learning how it works, I bought them 1 day £20 on ebay, 2days later I go to buy 2 or 3 more and they are £60 each, WHAAAAT??   But that's another story, really what I want to know is,.....

In my worker settings it has several different ones with a default option, the 1 that i'm interested in is dificulty, it was at 2, I put it at 4, no bad results, so I changed it to 6, is there a rule of thumb for setting this as i'm guessing, 6 eruptors, set it at 6?

What should it be at for the best results for 6 usb eruptors or is that unrelated?

Thnx in advance.

Edit: I put it back to 4, as soon as the change in my worker took effect my Ghs dropped considerably and 1 kept stopping altogether then trying to start up again.

Trial and error, VERY INTERESTING, THINK SOME Nitro RC Helis and Planes and some electrics may be going on an auction near you, in order TO GET ME SOME DECENT HARDWARE (OOPS) Just noticed the caps as I type 1 finger still, per hand so getting better, and have to look at keys...LOL

Excellent, Great Site you have, others must hate it, if it wasn't for bitminter i'd probably still be faffing about with "how to" vids from 12 year olds on you tube.   lol

Cheers!

Could not get my client(any of them) to mine for about half an hour, 2nd time today but first time a restart sorted it out.

This time after trying everything I simply unticked port 80 and it all jumped back to life.This was after trying everything I could think of involving restarts mainly.

I see others in top 50 are way off on their G/Hshs , maybe This could help?

Hi, yeh the stats have come back on the Live Stat page, how long it took I don't know, I forgot that window was open.

Yeh, I'm thinking the same, all this time and my little Gadgets doing nothing   

Was getting decent results through the night, must be lots who turn off, Ive left mine going 24/7 since I got my first batch of goodies, now to decide on the next gadget, a few furys that can be plugged in literally anywhere I go or a Hmmmmmmm, decisions decisions.

Hope you are right, seems about 9.49 am UK my worker bugged out, hopefully it is just taking some time to get access to everyone.

cheers, didn't know others had problems.

Hi, I can still log in but I cannot get the Minter app to start, I noticed it had stopped when I came in, I went out abt 9 am UK time and came back about 12 noon UK time, I still cannot get the App/Minter/Engine to start, I have tried re-intalling Java, a re-boot, cleared cache, and the usual other try its!!

I still cannot get the Engine to fire up, I also notice that on the Live stats page there are no lists of names like usual, is there a bug? some downtime for a fix?

Or do I need Help?

Any suggestions, "Do this" would be greatly appreciated, being loving every second of Bitminter although as the username on here suggests, I am late to the game.

Hope it's just some downtime, if not HELP !!!!!!

All was fine for days, Mining away with a bank of Asics on a Multi-Port Hub, Ok a small bank on a small 10 port hub BUT it was still working fine.

Like Bitminter has from day 1 it was a dream for a newbie like me, lets me in to this mystery pretty easily sort of plug/play and forget. while you learn about all the other stuff out here.

Anyway, sometime this morning UK time it stopped working and when I got in and realised I thought, not a problem, just restart the "Engine" right !!

Ehhh, nope, tried everything, re-install of this, the clearout of that, the usual re-boot.

NOTHING, Absolutely Nothing will get the minter to start, not even the test minter, not even the older versions.

HEYELP, as that Cartoon lady penelepe pitstop shouted.

Seriously, Any Help greatly appreciated



Absolutely love Bitminter as well. Driving me nuts thinking off all this wasted time.

Cheers,

a true,
