Use zadig to install drivers for your USB sticksĬgminer.exe -o "" -u YOUR_BITCOIN_ADDRESS -p anything.Download the "zadig" USB Driver installer.Download the latest release of CGMiner (we used 3.8.2).We weren't surprised to find that a lot of the information about how to set up the mining software to talk to the USB sticks was out of date, so here's how things stand in November 2013 if you're mining with ASICMiner Block Eruptor Sapphire USB sticks on Windows. With 16 of the cute little guys, a powered USB hub, and a slow afternoon, we got to fiddlin'. We love Bitcoin, and while we haven't done much mining since GPUs got involved, last week Josh saw some little ASICMiner Block Eruptor USB sticks available for $30 each and figured they would be fun to mess around with. roy has added a new project titled Fotos Mini, A Personal Digital Picture Frame.Guess who doesn't pay for electricty in their office?.Sergio Ghirardelli has updated the project titled The World Is Mine!.Bharbour has updated the project titled Simple LED Matrix Alarm Clock.FulanoDetail has updated the log for DIY Human-sized Mech.felix de swaef has updated the project titled Bringing An old overhead crane in to the future.Ken Yap wrote a comment on Simple LED Matrix Alarm Clock.ErynTiamat liked Reactive Amplifier Load With Headphone Out.Yann Guidon / YGDES has added a new log for PEAC Pisano with End-Around Carry algorithm.Bharbour has updated details to Simple LED Matrix Alarm Clock.wrtfwef on Low-Power Wi-Fi Includes E-Paper Display.DDSS on This Open Hardware Li-Ion Charger Skips The TP4056.Jaap Daniels on Electronic Bandage Speeds Wound Healing.william payne on A Love Letter To The Sphere Computer.TheFinn on Immersive Virtual Reality From The Humble Webcam.Matthias on Quick And Dirty Microscope Motion Control For Focus Stacking.BrightBlueJim on The Deadliest Project On The Internet?.thelacke圓326 on Building The Sanni Cartridge Reader To Back Up And Restore Games And Saves.michael on Tiny11 Makes Windows 11 Small.New Raspberry Pi Camera With Global Shutter 29 Comments Posted in Raspberry Pi Tagged bitcoin, bitcoin mining, raspberry pi Post navigation How long that will be for this four device rig we’ll leave to the comments section. The Adafruit Pi Miner uses one of their really cool LCD character displays and keypad to display the current mining rate, accepted shares, and enough information for you to calculate how long it will take to break even with your Pi powered mining rig. Since multiple ASIC devices can be controlled through a USB hub, it’s simply a matter of plugging a USB hub into a Raspberry Pi, loading up CGminer, and letting your new PiMiner loose on a mining pool. There are, however, USB ASIC devices that will mine for you at about the same speed as a high-end graphics card. The Raspberry Pi simply doesn’t have enough horsepower to mine bitcoins at any worthwhile rate. Of course this is the perfect opportunity to show off what the Raspberry Pi can do by mining Bitcoins at rates comparable to the best graphics used in mining today. A lot of these ASIC devices come in interesting packages that look just like a large USB thumb drive. One such piece of hardware are new custom ASIC devices that are just as fast as an FPGA while being much less expensive. Mining bitcoins is becoming a fool’s errand, but there’s always some new piece of hardware coming out that allows those hard-core miners to keep ahead of the curve.
