Topic: New member here: Looking to share and learn. (Read 451 times)

I am a new member here... well sort of. I have been reading posts for a short time as I have been setting up my rig. I have been up and running for a few weeks now and have even gotten my wife onboard. She encouraged me to buy more equipment which has just arrived. To date I have been using block erupters... which were great for my little "hobby" project but now we are taking things to a new level.

Anyway. I was a bit bummed that I could not post my question to the appropriate section of these forums since I can only post here. Anyway... as soon as privlages alow I will post to the correct area but for now I will pose this question here.

My Setup:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Miner: BFG Miner (v3.5.1)
ASICs: 45 Block Erupters, 1 Butterfly Labs SC 60 GH/s
-------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration:
-------------------------------------------------------------
C:\mining\bfgminer.exe -o http://POOL -u USER -p PASSWORD -G -S erupter:all


The Question:
-------------------------------------------------------------
This configuration is simple and works great however what I would relly like to do is run two (Eventully More) concurrent BFGminer instances on the same computer with each accessing the pool as a seperate user. I dont want to switch to cgminer as some will probably suggest. So with this in mind... can someone help me figure out how to include only the erupters and exclude the BFL because my command line attributes actually detects and runs all 45 Erupters and the Butterfly Labs SC.

I tried messing with this command line option as listed in the readme.txt ----> --device|-d    Select device to use, one value, range and/or comma separated (e.g. 0-2,4) default: all
But I could not find a way to make this work and found no examples with many searches.

There several reasons that I would like to split them to different workers but the biggest is that I would like to know exactly how well each "device type" is performing. Eventually I may want to even have my future BFLs assigned to a specific worker but run on from a single machine.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

And to share a tip. I have seen configurations for the erupters that use the --icarus timing options. I ran that for a few days and to be honest my numbers showed better results just using the simple -S erupter:all paramter. I also seemed to get better results if I upped my queue. I chose 25 for the queue size but did not notice if more or a few less would be better. If was indeed better than using the default.

Thanks
