My standard unit shipped without the mini usb cable to connect it to the other futurebit miner i have. Also does the standard unit behave like a usb miner? where if I plug it into the computer using mini usb to usb that bfgminer would pick it up ?
Standard unit requires USB cable to work. Check again if you don't have it in the box. If not, use your own Micro-USB cable.
Yes, Standard unit is a USB miner, it requires USB connection to your computer or other controller.
Bfgminer will not pick it up, you need Futurebit proprietary miner.
