I use MinePeon with my Pi and it works great. Starts mining on bootup, web interface to configure pools.

I think ill give it a try... can i edit cgminer consts there too somehow?

Then, regarding my previous question, i run the rpi through a smartphone loading cable but would like to run it from the atx psu. I found complicate tutorials for creating a usb-connector with power but i dont like it. So is it possible to simply power the rpi through pin 2 and 6 or 4 and 6 connected to a 5v cable from the psu?

I know what voltages the cables from the atx have. The only thing i dont know is if i can safely take a 5V and a GND cable from the atx and power the rpi through its pins with it. I dont want to break it and for sure im not the only one coming up with that idea. Unfortunately i only found people that created a usb-connecter to power the rpi with a psu.
