+BLOCK ERUPTER BLADE
+-------------------
+
+Blades communicate over Ethernet using the old but simple getwork mining
+protocol. If you build BFGMiner with libmicrohttpd, you can have it work with
+one or more blades. First, start BFGMiner with the --http-port option. For
+example:
+    bfgminer --http-port 8330
+Then configure your blade to connect to your BFGMiner instance on the same port,
+with a unique username per blade. It will then show up as a SGW device and
+should work more or less like any other miner.
