Hello, I'm a newbie and I have a question: which of cgminer and bfgminer is better to use with Block Erupter USB?
Thanks

Mind testing out MPBM?
I'm sorry, I thought you want a windows solution?
Any ideas how to run in mac? Thanks.
BFGMiner can be compiled for Mac if you disable GPU mining, at least.I think it's part of Homebrew now.
Block Erupter uses the Icarus driver, but you need the latest git for it to autodetect the configuration properly.

Ebay old computer, get new one for 300€, still better.
Windows is closed source. The windows driver for those devices is closed source. To use PI you only have to plug USB it in and forget it, just get BTC.

Get a GPU then, my 7950 was 230€ and does 550 MH/s
And once you fill up all of your PCIe slots, add a couple of Erupters.

Why would you ran a full blown computer with this? If your electricity bill doesn't matter, you better get a GPU and mine with it. IMHO these devices only make sense with embedded devices like Routers or Sheevaplug/Guruplug/Raspberry Pi/Beagleboard/whatever
Has BitMinter's Java client been tested yet?
While I mine using bfgminer, BitMinter's pretty graphics and 'click on the button to start mining on any OS' ease would be great as an intro to mining for first timers with a USB erupter.

For Linux (Raspberry Pi, Sheevaplug, Guruplug and so on) I tested it here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2253534

For my BFL FPGA I had to find which COM port my unit was using,in my case #3.Go to device manger & look in USB devices,click that device to find COM port #.
Since I installed libwidi driver & 3.1.0 cgminer,the COM port dosen't seem to show now & no longer have to use -S
Hope that helps

i'm using 3.1.1, i think... what's this libwidi driver? can use on win7?
I hear undoing it is a pain.
This works with the standard mining software called cgminer.
This doesn't work with the rarely used non-standard cgminer clone.
Undoing it is simple but unnecessary.
good to see this! will be easy to pair up with my ModMiner rig
Arklan, if you get to try out your hub that will help a lot of people from guessing on that too
The 12 port sitechi handles 3... I haven't gotten the anker yet. Should be here soon.

With heat sink. By themselves, touching the heat sink if burning hot. I put them near a fan, and no problems. I do not have a temp sensor, but only warm to the touch in the moving air.
right in line with what kano saw. bout 330 each.
You running with or without the heatsink (for enough time for things to stabilize)?
What are the temps you are feeling (if you've touched part of the device)?

Strange :| My BFL FPGA is instantly recognized when launching CGMiner under Windows
YMMV I guess Yeah,I was using an older version of CGminer then.Had to manually find the port,it was easy though
The newer version,back about 2 months ago was said to need the weird driver,so................it works,all I care

Really?? Not sure what you mean,software ??
Yeah,Win7 64 bit.
Oh well,my BFL FPGA seems to work with it,I'll find out if my BFL ASIC works with......someday
Probably will find out sooner when my Avalon chips arrive & I assemble boards
I can always do an OS reinstall in about an hour or 2,so no problem for me
