[quote=āviscera, post:10, topic:145ā][quote=āRejinx, post:1, topic:145ā]I just received my Block Erupter USB. The main reason I wanted one was to mine PPC or other future compatible coins.
However, I read that it could be a job to get it working on other coins.
Is anyone Mining PPC with this device and if so, how would I go about setting it up?
Thank for any help you can provide. :D[/quote]
Has this been working for you? Iām glad you started this thread, I have some similar questions but perhaps Iām a bit more of a novice than you.
Iām currently GPU mining BTC with Bitminter as itās extremely ānewbā friendly. This means I currently do not have any experience even with the GUIminer.
Have you had some success with the Block Erupter on the GUIminer? Alternatively do you know of any ānewbā friendly pools for PPC that have their own software similar to yPool or Bitminter?
Thanks for reading[/quote]
once you get familiar with what you have to do with cgminer it really is not that hard and if you are using ypool miner then you are familiar with enough to use cgminer. Start your own thread and we will help walk you through it. Start by downloading cgminer from here : http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.1/cgminer-3.1.0-windows.zip
This is the windows version I am running at the moment and have and it is a version that works with the USB block eruptor. There are later versions but I am yet to try them and there was issues with version 3.2
You can also use it to GPU mine as well at the same time so if you are still waiting on your USB try with the GPU and see how u do.
Once downloaded, unzip the files to a location and then open up command prompt
type
cd c:/Your/directory/path/cgminer3.1.0
and hit return and that should take you to the cgminer folder
now look in the folder that has been unzipped and find the file example.conf
You want to copy this file, rename it cgminer.conf and edit the cgminer.conf file. It may be worth downloading notepad++ to edit the file as notepad has issues sometimesā¦
then make that config file look like this:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "http://ppc.fixx.ru:8437",
"user" : "YOUR_USERNAME.WORKER",
"pass" : "WORKER_PASSWORD"
},
{
"url" : "http://fuzzypool.mine.bz:9332",
"user" : "YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS",
"pass" : "ANYTHING"
}
]
,
"intensity" : "d",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "poclbm",
"lookup-gap" : "0",
"thread-concurrency" : "0",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-engine" : "0-0",
"gpu-fan" : "0-100",
"gpu-memclock" : "0",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "0",
"fix-protocol" : true,
"gpu-dyninterval" : "50",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"hotplug" : "5",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "10",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"icarus-options" : "115200:1:1",
"icarus-timing" : "3.0=100"
}
then go back to the command prompt and type the line
cgminer.exe
and let me know what it doesā¦ chances are you may start mining and then how smug do you feel
if the command prompt goes to a page looking like this you are mining
