Wasn't there a CPU miner that worked with Gekko, or am I thinking Gridseed? Can't seem to find on Google.
That's Gridseed. http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/cpuminer-gridseed/
There is also a version of cgminer ( V4.3.5 ) for zeus and gridseed that has been working pretty well for my mining SCRYPT on Windows7. You should be able to find it on cryptomining-blog as well.
And now to put us back on topic.
i still can't get mine working, i keep getting no devices detected. i've followed all of the instructions. I'm on windows 10, can anyone help?
Did you install the zadig drivers from the first post?
