You can run it off any PC, and that's preferable anyway since the RPi is a piece of shit. Just plug in a USB cable. The sierras don't even have one so you have to run them via USB. Any instability still around is firmware related and remember it's still early days since release (even though release was late) but once my sierra is running it does not miss a beat.
Mine is happily hashing from an old mini PC desktop. Will try to resolve a driver conflict with Karin's help and get it hashing on the Mac mini later today.
Interestingly, after running overnight, this BJ seems a little off-spec. It's doing about 395-7 g/hash (running cgminer 3.11).
OTOH, my HW error rate is very low and with an ambient temp of 21c (70f) my processor temp is 69-70c. What did other people get for out of the box processor temps?
I guess I should experiment with overclocking next... I've seen 610 mentioned... other suggestions?
And sorry ckolivas, I didn't mean to suggest the Mac driver issue was your problem. It was intended merely as an observation.
And finally... why don't we try to move all this operational discussion over the the user's thread? I would still like a thread more focused on the company and its operations (and interesting cast of characters), like this one was before HF really started shipping.
In fact, I'm going to xpost over there.
610 is good but you might void your warranty by doing this FYI and with any ocing you risk damaging the hw. So do this at your own risk.. Sorry needed to add this disclaimer.
