Hi guys and gals, ive been running some TTBIT moonlander2 with raspberry pi 3 and BFGminer 5.4.2 mining litecoin. I've also just got hold of some gridseed orbs and i am trying set them up with my pi 3. Can i run 2 different miners at the same time from the above set up? Because BFGminer does not detect them,but pi does see them as virtual ports when i lsusb command in pi. Any help would be great thanks.

What have you tried up until now to get it working?
Anyway, download an old version of the miner as gridseed orbs are pretty old and outdated and probably BFGminer won't detect them properly. (try cgminer version 3.7.2)

Why would you bother to mine with raspberry pi's. I think it would be a much better option to buy some used gpu's and start mining with them instead. Mining with raspberry pi's won't net you much money at all.

Raspberry pi is not profitable anymore,in some sense they are but will take you so so long to generate profit and cover expenses.Selling all your old mining gears for extra money to buy newer equipments like GPU for mining.

I think the whole essence of mining is to make profit after analyzing all costs and expenses.
Why mine with raspberry pins when you know it would be more expensive and won't be making you profit. I am equally a newbie and I have learnt this is not the route to follow, still research further
