Running two different types of miners

[s1lentb0b]

Hi,

I currently have numerous ant miner U2's and just purchased a rock miner, my question....is it possible to run both off the same miner (bfg or cg) which is installed on my laptop?  Or would i have to have for example 2 laptops, one for the U2's and one for the rock miner.   I know this wouldn't be power efficient so I would have to explore other options.

Any advice greatly appreciated as I know this is probably a noob question.

I dont think rock miners work with bfg right now. Use cgminer, and after you have installed the usb driver using Zadig, follow below:
1)start cgminer (using bat file)
2)Device management (or management, something similar)
3)type 'auto'
4)press 'enter
5)voila

tell me if it still not working.

you can run bfg for the ants and cg for the r-boxes on 1 laptop at the same time.

I run 6 r-boxes and 5 grid seed blades

 the r-boxes do cg miner

the grid seed blades do cpuminer.

see below

yes they can run on cgminer. 

 I was only trying to show that running 2 different  programs on one pc can be done.

Nah I am old school never liked pipes or bongs..  just joints back in the days of purple haze and shit say 1972-1991 my stoner years

 but I quit weed  in 1991  I quit tobacco in 1996.  all other fun drugs were stopped in the late 80's .

 Still drink a bit.  Just too old for the other stuff. LOL

[railzand]

yeah just joking around - remember that famous picture?

me too i was a naughty boy, and i still smoke tobacco - dirty looking little roll-ups (because cheap) - people are like woah is that old dude smoking a blunt in the street

congrats on giving up it's a big thing

sorry silentbob, derailzing the thread. the advice you've been given is spot on!

Finally got my rock miner but I'm getting some strange behaviour from cgminer.

AS part of the set up instructions you have to replace a driver - http://www.eyeboot.com/rbox-setup-guide

Therefore if I run bfgminer and cgminer at the same time i get the following messages in cgminer

Can anyone help in resolving this?

thanks

so did you download zadig   and enter the driver?


better yet are you running windows 7? 

[s1lentb0b]

Yes I did the driver and I am running windows 8.1

[philipma1957]

I have had issues with  windows 8 with a lot of different miners.  So I rolled back to windows 7.
