U3 Antminer on Bitminter

[michiausu]

Hi there,
i got a u2 and u3 antminer on my bitminter client v1.6.1. the u2 miner is running already more than one month. now i added a u3 miner.
the bitminter shows me the new miner on com3 port. if i click on tune&tweak my u3 antminer is titled on description as u1/u2 antminer.
anyone a idea?

U3 is not supported by Bitminter client, only U1/U2. Sorry. You'll need to use bfgminer or cgminer instead.

hello,

is there any plan to add support for the U3 at some point ?
I mean, there's plenty of U3 around and you'd get a nice ROI with the current fees

I'm currently using your pool with minera and my 3xU3, but not everyone has a raspberry pi...

No, the U3 is slightly slow at ~60Gh/s and you can easily connect to the Bitminter server with CGMiner, so I wouldn't image they'd need a plan to add compatibility with the U3.

I know it is slow compared to what really dedicated people are using but:

- the U3 is quite easy to use and cheap
- bitminter is fool proof and runs on windows.

So I have the impression (or call it an opinion) that having these 2 running together make sense for the less involved/skilled/dedicated people getting into Bitcoin mining.

Honestly, if I have to get my hands dirty, why would I still connect to bitminter pool using CLI when there's probably a couple of other more profitable pools around.

The main advantage of Bitminter for the casual miner is that it requires no setup whatsoever.
Just plug/download/mine.
literally.

and the U3 is still pretty affordable for casual mining.

or maybe it's just me....
