Welp, I followed the instructions in this post by philipma1957 (thank you, very well written):
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4263190
Aaaaannnd, of course, nothing happened. So, I unplugged them and started over.
Aaaaannnd, the miner recognized the first one instantly. Followed by each successive one. Resulting in:
Now, switching pools remains a pain. While I did not have to re-zadig, I did have to pull them and add them back in, one by one.

So, I'm getting this, and it keeps repeating:

Now I'm getting this error for all USBs on one of my Raspberries (after about 10 minutes of mining with 22 USBs):
Any ideas?
Code:
AMU* SendWork usb write err:(-7) LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Any ideas?
Not sure if it will solve this particular issue, but the workaround/fix mentioned here below "Raspberry Pi is locking up when running CGMiner" solved my headaches with a freezing Raspberry (using ten Block Erupter USBs).
Thanks, that seems to have fixed it.

If your RPi is freezing randomly after some time (could be minutes, could be hours or days) with error like Oops: PREEMPT ARM, CPU0 Not tainted printed out over HDMI, and with locked up ethernet and USB interfaces, you have to add following option to the /boot/cmdline.txt file on SD card:
Code:
slub_debug=FP
I am now running 10 sticks 5 on two different 10 port hubs
why do all the reading come as a multiple of 512? (512,1024,1536,2048,2560)
Thank you, I figured it out. Sometimes I wonder what the hell people are thinking when they "design" a website.
Okay, I found 3.8.5 hyah:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.8/
But is there a different "Ant" one somewhere that I am not seeing?

yep that is the true original version.. you need to go to github
https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/cgminer
use the ones that say windows
cgminer 3.9.0 does not directly support the U1.
You need to download the prebuilt windows version from here and unzip.
https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/cgminer
Follow instructions in the AntMiner-U1 user guide.

The issue is that I have tried this 20 times, and it won't download. I just keep getting some piece of it. Odd that.

Whats the most you can overclock the U1's ?
I am using a Anker 9 port USB3.0 hub.
Dont want to set it too high and burn it out.

no you must download the version from github and you need to make a start.bat file with at least what I did in the photo above. if you get 3.9 to run it will run fucked up. been there done that. if you do not put a start.bat file with the minimum of
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 --bmsc-freq 0781 for stock speed or 0881 for 1.8gh or 0981 for 2.0gh you will get bad results.
I downloaded the github 3.8.5 but did not do a start.bat fill with the options above i ran stock speed and half my hash vanished i.e. on my pc i would report 16gh for 10 sticks and on bit minter I would get 8GH same problem with cex.io
once I put the start.bat file in all problems vanished and I did a small oc from 1.6gh to 2.0gh so far so good. in house on the pc i get 27GH and on cex.io I get 25GH.
WHICH IS far better then ½ the hash rate.

Found it, thank you.
By the way, those would cool better if they were perpendicular to the fan.
I thought I saw someone using a Windows version 3.8.5? Does 3.9 work on Win64?

How? - to use multipool.us or to write scripts?
The first is easy: just set up an account and point your miners to the multipool servers:ports.
The second is sort of easy... I admit I'm a quick-and-dirty bash-er, so I use bash for any trivial task even if it's not elegant. I could post my code, but it's gotten pretty frankenstein-large and needs config files to specify the pool(s), port(s), user(s), and password(s) I want to use for each of the SHA coins listed on coinchoose.com.
But, basically, I just load the API, parse it with JSHON, look at which is most profitable after rejects are factored in, then make that coin the "currentcoin" and restart all my miners with the currentcoin. In some cases, I have it use the slush proxy but for others I have it invoke the bfgminer proxy.
There are some other codes that do this automatically for you, like multiminer (google it), cgswitcher (same), and some others.
Hopefullly this gives you more of what you want. Wasn't trying to be flip, just didn't know how much you knew or didn't.
No worries, that is what I was looking for. Thank you.
Oh, and am I being an idiot? I've d/l'ed from GitHub before, but I'll be damned if I can get the AntMiner miner. I keep getting a lil tiny 25 kb file and not the whole thing. Thoughts anyone?
No prob - I couldn't find the full bitmain cgminer source at first either. It's here: https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer Turns out you have to search github for cgminer, not Ant or other keywords.
I am now running 10 sticks 5 on two different 10 port hubs
a simple start.bat file with over clocking set to 250 = 0981 = 2.0 gh
shot of the two hubs with 5 sticks each
I am running the 10 sticks at 1.95-2.00 gh pointing them at cex.io
i am not sure if i have fixed my under reporting of hash issue. will check it in a few hours
one last shot up to 14 sticks at 2 gh each

How are those fans noise-wise? Noise is an issue hyah.
As an aside, anyone have any recommendations for a QUIET PnP replacement fan for the Cubes?
I think they are quiet as far as fans go.
I don't like that they take up a USB port but they are a simple, effective, and a fairly cheap solution.
not as cool as the stock fan but if you are not over clocking it is good. I posted a link to the fan on ssb's cube for sale thread. the white arctic fan is too loud if noise is an issue thermal take makes the best fan but it is expensive . I will get links

Multipool.us SHA pool automatically switches to the most profitable of 5 coins. Or you can write a script yourself that takes info from coinchoose.com APIs.
You are a WEALTH of information. Any suggestions for sites to learn how? Someone posted one around here somewhere, looked long. Heh.
