Hi there;
I am new to bitcoin mining, but pretty good with technology as a whole. As a Father/Son project, I recently purchased a couple of USB LiteCoin Scrypt miners (I bought them here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-hot-selling-litecoin-USB-miner-220kH-s-scrypt-miner-Litcoin-miner-send-out-in/2019121334.html ). These have some drivers on them - they came with the Miner and are all Windows based (or so they seem) - but I am strictly a Mac / Pi user.
I found the site that had alternative drivers for Mac at this site :
https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx And they look identical in form to the Window Drivers I received on the miner - so I think these Mac versions should work.
So, I need some help in determining how to connect these Miners to a Mac. I am so close, I can taste it.
I use BFGMINER and I am pretty sure the drivers have been loaded correctly, but no matter what I try, I cannot see the devices - nor can BFGMINER run with them attached.
If you've got a play-by-play of what I should do -I warmly welcome your help!!
I am happy to abandon the Mac idea if you've got a viable route using a Pi !!!
Can someone help me?
Many thanks in advance.....
