[justafool76]

Hello there fellow coin miners

My very first post and i am sure that somebody will tell me off for posting..

Well heres my problem i have got a bi fury usb stick and i can not get it to work with cgminer 3.7.0 as i use this program for scrypt mining, and i cant get my stick to work with cgminer 3.7 the higher versons of cgminger work, but i they dont allow scrypt mining,  if anyone can help please can you let me know

I am willing to part with the very little amount btc that i have which is only 0.00005000

Its yours if you can help me with my problem,  so what i am looking for is help to get my usb miner to work on cgminer 3.7 verson or if sombody can point me to a program that allows scrypt mining please can you let me know

Thanks in advance.

Have you downloaded the drivers?

http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

use those with the new USB device. should you after that installation not "see" your device (can happen with win7), don't worry.
Fire up cgminer, should work.

If you want to run CG miner for your graphics card as well, make a copy of the CGMiner folder simply.
Use one for GPU, one for USB stick. when us start the USB stick version, use the no-gpu.exe version (for V3.7).

Hope this helps, I am kind of new to all this myself

PS: please don't type in all CAPS, it is pretty exhausting on the eyes.

Just run a second CGMiner version 3.8 or above, that should do the trick.

First, please don't write in all caps. That is usually treated as an aggressive intention.

On the other hand, ASICs cannot mine scrypt. They are designed for bitcoin, which uses the SHA-256 algorithm, and not the scrypt one.
You can only mine SHA-256 coins. You cannot mine scrypt coins.

It would be good if you included a screenshot of your BFGMiner.
