Hi, Can you please help me to get started? Im Running just one Bitman Antminer ona a Rasberry Pi set up it is plugged into a powered USB set up. I’m a noob really at any sort of programming but on the same hand seem
to have gotten to grips with a few basic principles quite quickly. I have managed to download unzip and run Bfgminer, I am signed up to  SLUSHES mining pool, Im at a stage, assuming I have done, everything correctly,

 where I need to go to the command prompt (according to any Youtube visits) and enter 1the pools url or adress, the information of which I have gotten off of Slushes website, of which there are two versions, I have tried both versions, 2 my user name, again which I have recived from slushes website, including my worker number and 3 the password of my account.

Whenever I try to do this it doesnt seem to run at all, the error message just comes up as ... does not register as an inernal or external command, or it just wont run and goes back to the rasberrypi/bfgminer./ main command prompt, can anyone please help bearing in mind that I am completely new to every aspect of this, Thanks in advance. Spandex.

Either you've forgotten to actually install the software, or (more likely), you're using Windows and you're giving these commands to your Windows command prompt, as opposed to your Raspberry Pi over ssh. I'll be glad to help you sort this out over live chat or TeamViewer (with all necessary steps for your security taken) if you still need help. In that case, please contact me by PM or at

Hey, thanks for the prompt reply, sorry for the delay in my counter responce. December is a reallu busy time for me. Happy Holidays by the way. Im not using the secure scipt through windows I am running the script through. LX  Terminal, The software is installed as far as I can see as the folder is in my files, also to back this up when i type in "cd bfgminer" the bfg miner comand pprompt shows. So I think that it is installed correctly.

 I have also installed a bunch of Files which apparently I needed to install to get it to run, that seemed to go smoothly,  One thing that I think it may be is that I haven't installed any drivers for the ASIC antminer that Im using, assuming that the correct software was downloaded with the files that i used to get bfg miner running in the first place, so Im going to have a search around for some way of maybe configuring the antminer its self maybe I cant seem to find a driver for it Huh I would really appreciate some help and thanks for the offer.
