For me, it should work only if all the hubs are powered. The USB port on the RPi aren't giving a lot of power.
You are under the 127 "devices" limitation of USB, so, yeah, it should work.

Now, I don't have any of these Block Erupter, so I don't know how to setup it with CGMiner:

extra noch zu der Filiale gefahren, da Briefe dort um ~17.15 abgeholt werden.
Pakete offensichtlich (zumindest heute) früher. Aber Vorfreude ist ja bekanntlich die schönste Freude.

Linux users should not need any help.
So here for the win users only:

  • download latest cgminer-3.1.1 :
    http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/
  • install this driver:
    http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
    no reboot required
  • plug in the usb miner, wait few seconds
  • search in the Device Manager for:
    Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COMx)
    keep the COM number(s) in mind
  • start cgminer with the following arguments:
    cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COMx
    for more than one device: cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COMx -S //./COMy

But be careful! they get hot during operation!
I recommend cooling. Direct some airflow over the heat sink.
