I have 5 grid seeds that I got from a friend. He gave me a power supply, usb hub and cables.
2014.07.11 [18:31] Probe of port COM57 failed: timeout
I get this message with one plugged in. My computer sees the device and the device is named "STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (COM57)"
Can someone help walk me through getting these connected?
Thanks in advance

I think the Avalon Thumbs may be popular, they are the same speed as antminer u2 1.6-2.4 gh/s plus they are only $15 usd from their site. I prefer bitminter over all the other mining clients i have tried. I hope its not too much of a hassle for you, mostly because i just bought $200 worth of them. My bad i know, i should have checked if they were supported.
will bitminter client be supporting drlibitt systems "avalon thumb" asic usb miner, or any of the drillbitt miners?
No immediate plans for this. If it is easy to add support I may do it, but those machines look a bit slow at this point.. I don't know if they will be popular.

Funny that on my windows 7 i can ran my bitmain u2 only on 1,8 with no hw errors, but on my apple mini mac i can run it at 2,2gh no problem and no errors.
Bitminter does not go higher than 2,2 i saw, astroid did but made hw errors with 2-2,4gh's.
Astroid is for apple.
Windows 7 with asicminer u1 is good on 2 gh's and with hw errors on 2,1gh/s.
Soon i hope to order s1's and butterfly's the 50gh/s's ...
will see.
Me just updating for what i learned allready.

Try Custom, Then Enter 0b81 in code area for 2.4Gh/s Or Custom then 0b01 For 2.3Gh/s
I have 4 U2's all running on a Mac - I can get 3 of 4 running at 2.4 Gh/s (0B81) and the last one must be special because it'll go to 2.6 Gh/s (4C81). All with no HW errors.
Edit: Figured I'd include the entire hex code list for anyone starting out with Antminers. It does pay to find out how far you can push it, just be sure to cool them properly because these things get damn hot.
Gh/s Hex
1.0 0481
1.1 0501
1.2 0581
1.3 0601
1.4 0681
1.5 0701
1.6 0781
1.7 0801
1.8 0881
1.9 0901
2.0 0981
2.1 0A01
2.2 0A81
2.3 0B01
2.4 0B81
2.5 4C01
2.6 4C81 (furthest I've had work, 1 of set of 4 drawing max voltage in 2-parallel series of 2 from Macbook Pro USB 3.0)
2.7 4D01 (timers managed to tune, but HW errors were ~50%)
2.8 4D81
3.0 4E81
3.2 4F81
3.3 5001
Note: to add/subtract 0.1 Gh/s, add/subtract __8_ in hex (i.e. follow the pattern - 2 times 0080 = 0100)
Thanks for making such an easy to use interface! As a total newbie, it let me jump right in. Only one question, what do you do with the namecoins? I can't even find a wallet to put them in. 
Glad you like it
You can read about namecoins at namecoin.info and get a wallet. Or if you just want to sell them for bitcoins, you can send them directly to an exchange that takes namecoins.
Thanks for the fast answer! Hopefully the stupid questions will decrease as I learn more.
There are no stupid questions when the asker seeks to truly learn.

Hi!
Is the RockMiner R-BOX supported by the Bitminter Client?
If not, will it be supported later and when?
best regards

It's not supported currently. I don't have a unit or know much about them. I may add support if I get the time, but I don't have immediate plans for that at this moment.

Great
Well, it wouldn't prevent DDOS attacks. It might make it a little more difficult for DDOS attackers to overload the server with getwork-requests. But it would also shut out honest miners who just prefer different software.

Did you mean to say something?
The post I was replying to there, almost 3 years ago, has been deleted. But I believe it was someone suggesting that if only Bitminter client was allowed on Bitminter, then it would prevent DDoS attacks.

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing between my Lenovo PC and 2012 Macbook Pro. U2's can be overclocked to ~2.6 GH/s without any issue on the Mac, but the Lenovo puts out worse than a bad prom date at ~1.8.
This looks like exactly what I've been looking for! Can't wait to start running it. Is this the only forum for this miner?
Yeah, this is the place
Will Bitminter be including the functionality to control the Monarchs and Imperial Monarchs?
I will look into it.
Any Progress?
Not yet.
Sidenote: Whatcha workin on Doc? What's coming in the next miner? Any new support or features?
Working on some backend changes - haven't started on the next miner version yet.
Hey Doc, you ever considered lowering the 1% fee? Especially with this GHash.io-nearing-51% situation, we might pull in enough additional mining power to lower the variance enough to actually increase overall fee revenue...at least worth looking into with a pool-wide promotion or something.
It's hard to predict how miners react to fee changes. Also, most miners don't care if a pool gets too big. Sad but true. I'm considering a few options to grow the pool going forward. Nothing decided yet, though.

have a Problem with the Client. The client can't detect my RedFury Sticks on my Mac!
it always said: no externel devices found.
What can i do?

I had the same problem. Doc just said the program was fickle about furies. Did you install its driver? the BF1.inf?
If so bfgminer loves to run them, it pops up running before you even do a search for devices, same with the new BFx2 sticks (or bricks more aptly named). But thats what happened on my windows machine, not sure if mac has another workaround. Might wanna hit up the Blue (Red) Fury forum: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blue-fury-support-thread-319419
