Hey, thanks for the tip on MinePeon, by the way. I realized I have a Raspberry Pi sitting in a box doing nothing, so I moved my Block Eruptors over to it. That's definitely the easiest setup I've ever done.
You are welcome. What USB hub are you using, and how many erupters. I really want something like the Anker, top mounted plugs and 10 ports that works with the Pi?
Yes, mine was just catching dust. I just got is as a toy, and something to get better at Linux. I have had it Pi ruinng as a Really slow desktop PC, a PXB with PBX in a Fash, a HTPC with XBMC and now MinePeon. MP is the best use so far.
I got this from Newegg. I chose it based on price and a 2A power supply. It seems to be working ok so far:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182176I'm using 4 Block Eruptors. The way the ports are situated on the 7 port hub, you can only put 2 in the front (where there are actually 3 ports) and probably none in the back (where there is 1), but you can put 3 on top. I'm only planning on using the 4, so it works fine for me.
However, I am finding I'm unable to keep Minepeon running for more than 24 hours at a time. I'm not sure where the problem is yet. I'm going to have to hook up a keyboard so I can see what's going on.
