I recently unearthed my old Block Erupters, u2, and u3 (questionable condition). So I downloaded BFGMiner, logged into Slushpool again, set up a .bat with the whole
bfgminer -o xxxx:xxxx -u xxxx.xxxx -p xxxx.xxxx
That closed out immediately after trying to start it. So I then tried the normal exe file for BFGMiner and it actually stayed open, however after putting in stratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333 for the URL, my user, and a random password, I am greeted with-
I have no clue what this means or what im doing wrong. Its been quite some time since I mined last, I know that it wont really have much of an output, im mostly just doing it for fun at this point.
Anyone got any ideas? Sorry if this isnt the most detailed post, its 3am and im rusty.

Re: Can i set an Antminer S1 to plug directly into an outlet?
I know there is a saying that "there are no stupid questions", but this just might reach to that point that this is a stupid question.
yea it was just out of curiositySo im wanting to 2 S1's and i know that they usually use 450-500w, and i dont want to buy 2 PSU's so i was wandering if there was a way to wire a plug from the S1 so i can plug it into my wall? Sorry if its a dumb question, im just curious 
So ive had my antminer u3 for about a year now, and im having issues with it that i cant resolve
Whenever i plug it into the power, everything goes as expected, then when i plug it into the usb, both lights come on automatically, like, once you start mining with it, a second light will come on other than the power indication light, however, as soon as i plug it in, both lights come on
I cant figure out what to do, please help me, its nothing in cgminer or anything, its with the miner, help

I took it apart, cleaned it deep, put it back together, gave it an external fan for extra cooling, but im only pushing 47, it would start out with 60, then just drop, why is it doing this?
Ive tried everyone i could find
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:10 -o xxx -u xxx -p xxx --bmsc-freq 0982
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:0.65 -o XXX -u XXX -p XXX --bmsc-voltage 0800 --bmsc-freq 1306
even tried to just open cgminer, it keeps saying the pool difficulty changed or something
please help

If you look under devices is the U3 showing up? I ask this as it could be a driver issue zadig sometimes causes some people trouble. So I would start with looking for device. After that focus on cgminer.
Long term get a R1 with crazy guy's mod on it. It will reset your zombies and make your life a lot easier..

You have 3 different miners, that is a little hard to troubleshoot without more info. There is so many things it could be.
I would suggest splitting it up, start with one type of miner and see if you can get it to work. Then move to next miner. Get all 3 to work separate and then try to work together.
Have you tried working on one at a time?
You've configured something wrong I think. Small block erupters don't usually fail unless settings tell them to do something that is not in their ability to do. The U1-U3 range though has so many stability problems it's quite impressive actually. I've figured out exactly how many times I must plug and unplug my U3 for it to work. (About 9)
The settings are
The volt setting doesn't usually work unless you have a modified miner, changing voltage has to be done manually.
(Note: My miner gets quite hot, meaning don't leave yours on wood or anything without proper sufficient cooling!)
You can change frequency to what you want, just don't set it above 250 or expect fireworks.
welp, i just tried your code and it just keeps saying [2016-01-30 08:01:28] Pool 0 difficulty changed to 256.The settings are
Code:
cgminer.exe --au3-freq 237.50 --au3-volt 820
These are MY settings. The 237.50 and 820 are variables. The volt setting doesn't usually work unless you have a modified miner, changing voltage has to be done manually.

what am i doing wrong? i do into devices and printers and it shows that they are the cp2102 uart to bridge controller, but their isnt a com port number
I have 3 ASIC Block erupters, 336 mg/s, 1 antminer u2, 2.5 Gh/s, 1 avalon nano 3. 2-3 Gh/s, and one antminer u3 60 gh/s, all of them were working fine 2 days ago, then the antminer u2 started to be weird. so i tried moving it into different ports, got that one fixed, then another stopped, a block erupter. so then i decided that its the drivers, so i hit up zadig and replaced the drivers in the cp2102 usb to uart bridge controller, to then after that i went to the devices and printers in control panel, not a single one had a COM# with it, then avg detected cgminer as a trojan, but i put it in the exceptions list twice, i do it again, and it fixed the cgminer, but not the com# thing, thats all i need i would think, also i need the code i would put into the text document for the antminer u3 for cgminer, thanks and please respond soon. have a good one
Welp, i just tried the one the baazju suggested and it didnt work, then i looked at notlist3d's but i only have one avalon nano, do you think i can get the bfgminer command for 1 avalon? thanks
I gave you the command for BFGMiner and 1 Avalon...
bfgminer.exe -o YOUR POOL URL -u YOUR WORKER -p YOUR PASSWORD -S ICA:\\.\COMYOUR COM NUMBER --set-device ICA:baud=115200 --set-device ICA:reopen=timeout --set-device ICA:work_division=1 --set-device ICA:fpga_count=1 --set-device ICA:probe_timeout=100 --set-device ICA:timing=0.22 --api-listen
Make sure your setting the right com port on it. It should work as long as that is set. You might look in devices to make sure it's being detected right.
But if all is good just setting 1 proper com port there should work if miner is there.
COM16 is high... are you sure you are using the right one?
don't use avalonmm when you try and add.. use: ICA:\\.\COM16
what version of bfgminer are you using? Make sure it is the latest version.

I honestly did not like the GUI very much at all. Have you tried using BFGMiner? I had it up and running pretty quick with that and was getting really good speeds.
i dont know how to set it up with bfgminerOk so i just got mine to work it says its mining at .001 Gh/s while its a 3.6 gh/s chip, the light is still green on it too, shouldnt it change if its mining, im also using slush's pool and the avalon gui
it says its mining at .001 Gh/s while its a 3.6 gh/s chip, the light is still green on it too, shouldnt it change if its mining, im also using slush's pool and the avalon guiMy website is down unfortunately, so the guide isn't working. But you should definitely be getting more than .001Gh/s. Where are you getting that number from? If it is from Slush it may not be accurate.
I wonder the same thing. Ehash has some drivers and GUI on their site. It should work/detect and get the 3.6ish.
I would check Ehash out on downloads if your are not familiar with command line with mining.

just today i bought the cord, went home and got it working 
when i went to slush's pool it showed after 5-10 minutes that i was at 42 GH/s But it slowly started to go down 
currently it is at 25 gh/s and i want to know why, is it because its hot, or is it something else, please help me i want to get my full 60GH/s worth while keeping it cool
