welcOME!
I also went through setting up cgminer with the asic usbs figuring out that the downloaded driver I used didn't work with the newest version of cgminer so went back to 3.1.1 I believe.
I'm using Asic USB Erupter with cgminer 3.3.1 and installing zadig usb drivers i have no problem, it seems also that the last version of cgminer is better ottimized and give the top hash rate to all the devices (for example i have also Lacelot fpga boards, and with release before the last one the boards never goes to the top of their limit.
"Hello World!"
I'm Nachius, been lurking and learning about bitcoin for a few months and understand I'm a little late to the game, but better late than never still millions of bitcoin left to mine right?
I'm an IT professional have been in the field since around 2000. I always enjoy learning and came across an article some time ago about bitcoin and started the research path. I have to say it is pretty addictive.
Started the process of mining as a hobby to see if myself and a few friends can grow something out of it and also to assist with the overall acceptance of bitcoin as a whole.
I have tested CPU mining, GPU mining, and am now running both GPU and asic usb erupters. I understand bitcoin as a whole knowing that CPUs can not mine profitably and GPUs are approaching that state if BFL and AVALON every ship their product orders in their entirety. My electricity costs are sunk as I run a small rack of PCs and servers in my pole barn where I have the asic usbs setup and GPU mine on my desktops in the house that are on all the time anyways. I have convinced a few friends to also work with me to mine "for me" with their gaming desktops that are always on as well when they can spare the time on the machines. Nothing fancy right now and no huge investment, but overall fluctuate between 1.5GHash and 2.5GHash depending on who is connected and mining.
Primarily a windows guy, but used to be apple certified at one point, and understand *nix well enough to get by
Have been using combinations of guiminer and cgminer primarily and sometimes test with bitminter.
I hope to be able to assist with the community as I am a newbie in the grand scheme of things, but am always willing to help and share my experiences. I am all too familiar with driver sweeper and trying multiple different versions of ATI drivers across xp and win7 platforms along with the different Stream/SDK revisions as well. Finding the perfect opencl driver is a challenge at times. I also went through setting up cgminer with the asic usbs figuring out that the downloaded driver I used didn't work with the newest version of cgminer so went back to 3.1.1 I believe.
Lots of good information on the internet and this forum has helped me get up and running and I want to pay it forward where I can.
