SETUP: To begin setting up your device, please remove the power supply and USB cable from the box and plug them into the appropriate inputs on the back of your miner. Plug your power cable into an electrical outlet and the USB cable into the USB port of your host computer. The drivers for the miner should install automatically by searching Windows Update. (For support, please refer to http://forums.butterflylabs.com and http://butterflylabs.com/drivers for more information on installing drivers for other supported operating systems, such as Linux, OSX, and other versions of Windows.) DOWNLOAD MINING SOFTWARE: Once your PC recognizes your Bitforce SC device, you are ready to download the appropriate Bitcoin mining software. Butterfly Labs has developed easy to use mining software, EasyMiner. EasyMiner combines two of the top Bitcoin mining programs, BFGMiner and CGMiner, into a graphical interface that requires minimal setup while providing current statistics about your miner and the Bitcoin network, such as the current price and network hashrate.
