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.

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

The raspberry pi can't run the block erupters without a USB powered hub.

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?

They are working even with USB 1.1  Grin

Good luck with mining.

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?
