A technical question here, should be easy for experienced miners. Trust points to whomever can educate my ignorance  Grin

1) Just started mining with ASIC. Wondering if I still need to download a CGMINER file for it?
This page suggests I need to download a miner, but again, not sure it applies to ASIC : https://dash.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=gettingstarted

2) If I do need to download, which CGminer to use for X11 ASIC & Win10 x64
CG miner link:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/

Info: Miner model: pinidea DR3 X11

Appreciate any help I can get Smiley

ASIC miners with an Ethernet port have their own internal controller included and do not need additional software to run.
Possible exception for the Avalon line, I'm not sure how those are set up.

 USB based miners need external software on some sort of computer to run - though many have the option to use something small like a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black to run that software on if you prefer to not tie up a desktop.

 The Pinidea IIRC has an Ethernet port, and it's own internal controller, no CGminer needed.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!
