Re: [IN STOCK,SHIPPING,OPEN] Group Buy #31 ASICMiner Cubes 0.40 BTC 28-38GH/s

Can anyone tell me if these need to be plugged in to a computer to mine. If i can use the computer to set it up and leave it mining by itself that would be great

I would suggest you run the proxy on a raspberry pi instead. Runs great 24/7. This way you dont have to keep your PC up all the time.

I tried Minepeon with a Raspberry and my rejected share rate was significantly higher. I think if you use bfgminer and Raspian it might work better(?). I dunno, for me there were problems using anything other than Slush's proxy, something to do with long poll support and the cubes, even bfgminer as proxy on PC wasn't allowing long poll support. Fwiw, you might want to check the rejected shares in the cube webUI.

I run it with bfgminer as proxy on raspbian. It turns out to be run fine for me. The rejected shares stay around 0.03% all the time.

Were you able to get static IP working on Raspian without using wifi? On MinePeon it's all messed up, I can only get static IP to work with a mini wifi adapter. I have a second Rpi kicking around and want to use it, but I don't want to buy another WiFi adapter, considering Raspian with BFGminer if the static ip setup works. Also, is it stable 24/7?

I am not sure on this. My router automatically assign ip to devices statically. I have tried different OS, reformat, reboot on the same device but I got back the same ip regardless. You should tried it out first. I previously run 20x USB Block Erupter 24/7 on 2 rpi for 5 months without any problem. I also have another rpi running 5 Red Fury and another for a Cube. So far has been running for weeks without problem.

Nice, I decided to stop being a cheap ass and ponied up the $10 for another wifi thingy, gives me more freedom and frees up a port on my switch. So tempted to buy another damn cube lol...
