Have a read through this thread:-

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173963.0

It should have a vast array of answers for you. If not then post in there and someone will be able to help you.


Thanks a lot for that hint. How come I didn't find this thread before? I swear I was searching through the forums before  Huh  Smiley



don't know much about running it on bfg miner  I run my 12 on cgminer adapted to gekko compac sticks.
What external hub did you use?
hint a   y-cable  should help you
What windows do you use?
hint it works better on windows 7
i run mine on linux

Thanks for your answer. Looks like everybody recommends cgminer. By reading several threads before I thought bfgminer would be the better option but in this case I'll give cgminer a try.

-I'm using an EasyAcc H40 USB 3.0 Hub. Now I changed my setting and the mining stick is directly on the computer, only the fan is on the Hub. This works a bit better, but for some reason bfgminer stops working sometimes. After restarting it works again, just sometimes "no response". Could these issues correlate somehow? Anyway, I'll give it a try with cgminer anyway.

-What exactly do you mean by the y-cable could help? Where's the difference between a y-cable and an external usb hub? I guess the cable needs "less power", is that it?

-I'm using Win 7, didn't try it on my Ubuntu distribution so far.
