Sorry, been hard at work today (at work) and havent replied to anyone!

Anyway, here are the responces (in no particular order).


tested My Pi,when unplug cable and then plug cable, MinePeon does not auto connect,Must Restar(Power down then Power On).


That is a problem!  I have tested my rigs but they connect again correctly so it is probably something to do with your setup. 

It is serious though so I will see if I can add something to make sure the interface is up.


Neil, what features have costs associated with them and how much do they cost?


There is a lot that I could do if I had the cash, SMS alerts, Android & IOS Apps with push notifications, VPN Tunneling, Remote Access.... the list goes on.

With everyone donating there little bit though I am hoping I can do it all without anyone having to 'pay' for anything (especially me Tongue ), we will just have to see how it works out.


What about my questions regarding the possibility to use this to run miners in a datacentre?


The base is Arch Linux and it is run in data centers all over the world so you should be good. (may want to wait for live update though)

Do pick STRONG passwords, you would not want someone to login via the WebUI and steal your hashes.


I would recommend using something like this if you are wanting faster power cycle times than waiting for a "hands on" tech


When I get around to it I have plans to cluster 2 MinePeons together to do that... and a few other cool tricks Smiley .


I copied the new image (new Minepeon for testing) to another sd card and got it running but can't log in using SSH


Yeah, do what BR0KK says Wink .

As soon as I can make live updating work correctly you wont ever have to do it again though (just bricked my Test Peon with live update, so not ready yet).


Has anyone else noticed that on MinePeon 2.1 if you switch the mining app from cgminer to bfgminer that the web interface just goes blank and no longer displays anything?


I will look into that.
