Need help w/error received - ASIC USB Erupter + bfgminer

[dannymack]

I followed all the instructions given at

http://bitcoinrigs.org/mining-resource/setup-asic-block-erupter-using-bfgminer/

So, when I double-click the bfgminer - shortcut, the error, I am receiving is:

“unexcpected extra commandline arguments”

Here is what I have in the target:

C:\Users\Jmack\Downloads\bfgminer-3.1.3-win64\bfgminer-3.1.3-win64\bfgminer.exe -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u user.example1 -p password -S all –icarus-options 115200:1:1 –icarus-timing 3.0=100

Thoughts?

Do example1 or password have a space in them?

[dannymack]

No. Just a "." in the middle of the user...like example.worker1

I have some usb erupter miners running with bfgminer 3.2.1 just fine.  Here is what I used:

C:\bfgminer-3.2.1-win32\bfgminer -G --scan-serial erupter:all -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -O btcaddress

The "-G" is so the GPU's are not included.

The "--scan-serial erupter:all" finds the usbminers.  I think this was added to bfgminer 3.2.1 and the icarus entries are not needed anymore.

I am using the 32-bit version of bfgminer on my Win8-64bit miner and on Win7-64bit miner.

think its because your missing the line telling it to use stratum...

should look like this

C:\Users\Jmack\Downloads\bfgminer-3.1.3-win64\bfgminer-3.1.3-win64\bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u user.example1 -p password -S all –icarus-options 115200:1:1 –icarus-timing 3.0=100

Thanks for trying. Tried this one and still got the same error - Unexpected extra command......

Going to try the one above you now.

i think i found it
C:\Users\Jmack\Downloads\bfgminer-3.1.3-win64\bfgminer-3.1.3-win64\bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u user.example1 -p password -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100

infrint of icarus there should be two - not 1

Holy CRAP! YOU SOLVED IT!!!!

I've been trying to get this up and running for weeks.
I am officially mining!

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH.

Speaking of mining  so...does this look right to you?
I have 5 erupters hooked up:
(slush pool)

ICA 2 and 4 are doing a hell of alot of errors.. probably not enough power going to the USB hub try unplugging 1 miner and see if the 4 get up to speed
