Bitcoin qt on usb

The first and main setup is going to be a Butterfly Labs 10Gh/sec USB mining unit being driven from a Mac OS X Server. Bitcoin-QT is being used for the wallet and MacMiner will drive the mining unit. Based on some information I’ve gathered from others, I’m going to try and set this one up in a non-pooled environment. Maybe I’ll get lucky.

The second setup is going to be a collection of Erupter 333Mh/sec USB sticks being driven off of a RaspberryPi. I purchased five of these USB miners and together they will total somewhere over 1.6Gh/sec. These will operate in a pooled environment so I can gauge how much I can mine within a collective. Rather than having the USB sticks plugged into the RaspberryPi, I will use a 7-port USB hub and cooling fan. These little USB sticks run really hot, I guess too hot to even touch. So the last pic shows them with little heat sinks that I’ve purchased for them.
