Tonight, or sometime this weekend, I will fire up my laptop and run through this installation again to see what I can get for a few days’ worth of mining. I didn’t let it mine over night as my PC is a bit too power thirsty for a long run mining mission. CGMiner gave me some issues but at the 11 th hour I found the magic combination of arguments to pass and USB finagling voodoo when launching that got it working. I may give it another try but for the scope of this project it may not be worth the time. In truth, I couldn’t get BFGMiner to work last night. I found many recommendations, and instructionals, pointing towards BFGMiner and CGMiner. I took note of the host URL, my miner or username, and the password for use later when launching the mining client. The account with BTC Guild pool is good to go and I have miners set up there. No losses! For future reference, mining with NVidia GTX 560 is not fruitful… Actually these were what I thought was in my wallet but couldn’t recover. There were also a few fractions of Bitcoin left that I never paid out. I was easily able to log in with my old credentials. I also needed to establish that my account with the mining pool BTC Guild was still active and accessible. Other operating systems may vary.īefore inserting the Antminer I needed to accumulate a host of software and drivers. Note: This installation is for Windows 7 64 bit. Luckily the technology is not far off from the U1 and so the setup was basically the same. Finding a guide specific to the U2 was a challenge and I am yet to be successful. Wading through search results majoring in the sales of BITMAIN Antminers, ASICMiner Block Erupters, and all other variety of devices one can find a few quality resources with installation instructions for the previous version of the Antminer. ![]()
