Topic: Mac and 2 USB block eruptors (Read 981 times)
Hi there. I've posted an article on how to get started mining with the USB Block Erupter on OS X using either bfgminer or cgminer. You can check it out here. Hope it helps!
I got a tip from a guy that's mining with erupters to mandatory use some USB hub and an external fan, your USB plug on the MAC could be damaged from heat dispersion.
Also they probably wont fit side by side. Macbooks have about 1mm clearance between two normal usb cables.

Thank you so id I simply download the mining software, plug in the ASIC miners then will I be able to select them through the mining software?

Supposedly, the software will detect the USB Block Eruptors. But I didn't tried it yet, as I use a Raspberry Pi and MinePeon to mine with my 2 USB Block Eruptors. Regards,
