    Hi.. I ran the batch file but it remains in black.. nothing is showed on screen... How can I test tohse devices (I have 12) to check if they work? Thanks!

      Go to the command line program (cmd) navigate to the folder where you put CGminer and try running it by typing CGminer then hit enter. See if it runs or if it gives you errors.
      Also, make sure that your batch file is pointing to the correct folder, or that the batch file is in the same folder as the CGminer program

      You can use Windows notepad to create batch files where you write in all the commands and then save it as a .Bat file, instead of a .txt

      , these miners are so slow it could be that they are working it's just that they don't show up because the number that the mine is so far past the decimal point

    hehe.. ASIC,, aplication specific integrated circuit .. although Block erupters are kinda expensive for only 330MH , a gekkosciece 2pac does 23000 MH with the same ammount of power..
    and they cost half as much

      They should show up as AMU not GPU, GPU stands for Graphics cards. Try running Zadig again. (I'm not familiar with BFminer)

    purchased a CP2102 V3 to experiment with these USB Erupters.
    I cant for the life of me get a Firmware to recognize the USB.
    BFGminer wont boot for some reason (minGW completely updated) CGMiner boots open wont find USB, tried all drivers with Zadig, no success.
    Please feel free to tell me a "how-to step-by-step for 2021" because i dont care if i make $.000001, i'm more interested in learning proper available setup.

      The batch file is something that you create. it just calls the .exe and passes it your user name, password and pool address. I did not have to use mingw, I found a version of cgminer online. I can look to see if I still have it.

All I have on my computer is a ton of files but nothing that looks remotely close to a config or example config file. Another reason I am sticking to my GPU rig.
