ASICMiner Block Erupter question

[LucidDev]

I am looking into getting a dedicated machine to start plugging hubs into with my erupters, but I can't find anything that says whether or not the erupters need USB 3.0


My question: Do the ASICMiner Block Erupter need USB 3.0 to mine at 333 Mh/s or will they still mine at peak with 2.0?

Mine is working fine on 2.0!

Damn difficulty spikes suck though

+1 getting hard to mine if you under 10ghps

USB 2.0 is suffice.

Happy mining

They are working even with USB 1.1 

Good luck with mining.

USB 2.0 is just fine and I recommend using a raspberry pi with minepeon.

The raspberry pi can't run the block erupters without a USB powered hub.

you can use Bfgminer + erupters on the Pi (with the USB powered hub) with Raspbian just fine, no need to go to a customised build.

works fine with legacy USB even according to some members.
