Hi guys.

 A couple of years ago, i setup a pair of ASIC USB miners on a usb hub. The software running them was CGminer - I had a string in the shortcut that set all the params (login, usb id etc etc)

Well, friend said i should try Avast anti-virus....... HOLY COW, the damn thing HATES BTC!!! It removed all my shortcuts, software, backups... EVERYTHING that had bitcoin core i guess.

well, trying to setup the 2 miners now, I just cannot for the life of me get the string right (or even working)

they are on COM14 & COM26, I'm trying to use slush's pool

The CGminer version is 4.9.1, but I'm SURE i was using 3.1 before? Just cant find it to download it.

can anyone help with the string & possibly cgminer version?

Thanks

  Maybe ,  but if you are running any anti virus software it is a pain in the ass.

translation  use a rasp pi  or an old laptop with a powered usb hub for mining only.

Lastly  those asic miners are now full out of date.  they get .333 gh for 5 watts...  while newer sticks get 10 gh for 5 watts.  that is correct about 30x the efficiency.
