Re: Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon

Do I have to type anything in for Minepeon to recognise ASIC block eruptors?

I have one plugged in through a DLINK DUB-H7 powered hub at the moment but its says:

 wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

wlan0 is for a wifi dongle, so has nothing to do with the BEs. 

If you've got the USB Block Erupters, then just add -S all to the command line, before the -c part.  Assuming you're running bfgminer 3.8.0, of course.

Thankyou for your help. That fixed it.

Hello everyone how do I upgrade to Minepeon-0.2.4.2 and also BFGminer 3.5.1? Also how do you switch miners from the command line? Thanks in advance.

Type this into minepeon to upgrade both:

cd /opt/minepeon
git pull


I'm not sure what you mean by the second part.

Hello I've been testing Minepeon out today. I'm using it as a proxy for one of my blades. But I notice the efficiency of the blade has dropped slightly from 99%~ to 96%~. My other blades going through a proxy on my PC are still 99%~.

Is that to be expected or is there some improvement I could be making?

Minepeon 0.2.4.2
bfgminer 3.8.0

BTW great program.

Ah, you're running them both out of a single batch file instead of straight from multiple consoles. Good to hear you got it figured out.

Cheers. Yeah I should have mentioned that.

After about an hour now it has averaged out about 98%. All good.

Got my head around this now I think haha.

I have it working now, I added start to the beginning of each line.

start C:\miner\mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.bitcoin.cz -p 3333 -gp 8332

start C:\miner\mining_proxy.exe -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333 -gp 8333


I'm not sure if that's an obvious thing or not.

Thanks for your help with this.

I have noticed that the efficiency of my blade set to BTCguild is around 93% now when it used to be around 98-100% on Slush. Is that to be expected? My two other blades on Slush are still around 99%.

If you wait a moment, does it start listening for work? Sometimes mine give errors like that but then fire up just fine.

Also I was testing a bit with running two proxies the other day, and was having some issues with the second one connecting on 8333. 8332 and 8335 work just fine on my setup, not sure if using two ports so close is messing it up or what.

Yes it finds work on the slush mining port, 8332. That works fine, but the blade I have setup for BTCguild doesn't find any work. The ports on the blade are set to 8333,8333 and correct user:pass but it just never finds any work. I've tried 8335 as well.

I've had the BTCguild settings working through a cloud proxy but just not through my own proxy.

Thanks for your help though, I'll keep at it. Smiley

You need the -gp option on the stratum proxy, so each one is listening on a different pool.

mining_proxy.exe -o pool1 -p port1 -gp 8332
mining_proxy.exe -o pool2 -p port2 -gp 8333

Configure your pool1 blades to Ports 8332,8332 and the pool2 blades to Ports 8333,8333

I had a setup exactly like that running for a day earlier this week, mining for a friend; two stratum proxies on the same machine pointed to different pools.

Hello, I had a question if you don't mind. (or anyone else) Smiley

I've types in the below but I seem to get an error. Am I doing this right?

C:\miner\mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.bitcoin.cz -p 3333 -gp 8332

C:\miner\mining_proxy.exe -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333 -gp 8333

A deprecation error? I'm new to this stuff, slowly getting my head around it all.

Hello I wanted to thank dogie and many other members on this site, dogie's Blade Setup Guide helped me out especially.

I'll show off my rig if I may.

I have three ASICminer Blades setup at the moment powered by a Thermaltake 550w PSU.

Four 120mm fans. Two on the front sucking air in and two on the back blowing air out.

Fan controller with thermistats.

I used an old PC case with conduit to mount the blades. The side panels stay on the case usually.

This photo was taken before I used the conduit mount.

I have two more 120mm fans on order which i'm going to mount on the side panels.

My Raspberry Pi arrived today, might use that for the proxy. Also thinking about buying three more blades.

Overall I've had no hardware problems at all. One blade has been running 24/7 for about five weeks now and the other two for three weeks.

I'm still new to this but i'm currently investing in BTC and LTC only. Seems to be the safest option at the moment, from what I've read.
