Re: [ANN] Introduction to DualMiner USB (could mine both BTC and LTC)
I like the new offering for your DualMiner 2 ASIC but can you tell me when you intend to create a mining app to run this ASIC on my Mac?
Also when I see a new revision no in the name,I usually expect higher performance or reduced energy use if hashrate is the same.Is it even possible to increase the scrypt hashrate of the DualMiner or would running off a USB port prove too difficult (as there's not much of a power envelope)?
I'm just curious to know.Thanks

I believe these questions have already been answered: someone has compiled a version for Mac from git which should work on both sticks. This can be found with search. Regarding running more gc3355's per USB slot:
Is it possible to put 2 chips on 1 usb?
140KH/s @ 3 watts?

Making a 2-chip USB miner is not difficult at all, but the tricky part is how do you provide the power required by this miner? Our DM miners was designed using BUS power scheme, which means the miner is powered from USB2.0 bus (or USB2.0 cable). Now, the USB2.0 specification only provides up to 2.5W (or 500ma current at 5V) power to one USB device, so that will put 2-chip USB miner out of the power supply range of USB2.0 bus.
