The only thing that seems to work is the --anu-freq 250 line.
BOINC manager still gives tasks at random to my three USB sticks, even though I specified campaign#7 for the 333 Mh/s block erupter and #6 for the 1.6 Gh/s U2 antminers.

BU is not reading my app_config.xml at all! I enabled campaign #13 again, did nothing for the app_config.xml (that does not mention #13) and voila: campaign #13 runs on my machine :drunken:

Dirk, on start up does boinc mention finding an app_config to use ? or does it mention app_config refers to missing apps etc. Post up your new app_config and I'll see if I can spot anything untoward. Which version of BOINC manager ?

Yes, it finds the app_config.xml
Nope, no missing apps
Latest Boinc manager

but this post says it all:

With the new --usb :1 option and running more than 1 miner of the same kind you must change the
<count>x</count>
line in cc_config to the amount of your running miners. No app_config is needed anymore. For different apps see above.
This will overwrite the --usb :1 option.

and other USB options as well, I fear...

Read above or below, depending on the way you sort the messages.

It certainly sounds like it over rules what you wish to do. One way round it would be to run your miners on different computers and use the home / work / school setting in your account to specify which project runs on which computer / miner combination. Only way I can think of without being able to use the USB options.

I recall having similar issues while I ran it. I used raspberry pi's to run them. BU and WUProp where the only projects on them.

I've set BU to 10,000% resources in order to get WUs on the systems that run BU.
I mostly run 40+ projects per box (that's x86 boxes, try to run 40+ projects on your ARM boxes...)
