Asteroid still only displays the hashrate of 1 of my 3 erupters in the UI, but the "Miner Console" lists the proper hashrate. They show up as "AMU-1, AMU-2, AMU-3" instead of "ASICMINER USB Block Erupter" as the image on the website indicates it should be... What's going on?

Ah yes, this bug has been a fickle one.  0.9.5 was mainly a bugfix and compatibility release.  Fortunately it seems as though very few people have any operational/functional problems with it now, so I can refocus now on UI quirks such as this one.  It only affects multiple identical devices (and is tough for me to test as I have some devices but none identical).  Even though I've coded Asteroid to recognize them with a unique ID, there's something in the code that isn't referring to the unique IDs that are internally assigned when it goes to draw the UI.  As you note, they do mine fine regardless, as the console shows.  I hope to squish this one soon, as it's been there a while and will only keep being an issue Smiley


Also, none of my settings were saved when I upgraded from 0.9.4. Very frustrating.

Yes, my apologies for that.  However, it should be easy to re-enter pool information if you use one of the default pools as your login information will be pre-populated from previous keychain entries regardless of Asteroid version.  Actually you just gave me an idea, perhaps I can allow custom pools to be saved in a similar manner...  Anyway, Asteroid does include code to migrate preferences from version to version, but the format changed slightly between the two most recent versions and I think there's likely a bug or two in there too.  I'll have a look for 0.9.6, and thanks for the feedback Smiley
