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?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

They are working even with USB 1.1  Grin

Good luck with mining.

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

MinePeon by mineforeman
http://sourceforge.net/projects/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.
