I have minera up but would like to be able to access from internet. Forwarding port 80 on my router didn't work so I'm guessing there is more to it then that. So if anyone can help that would be great!

Also, I don't know much about Linux, still learning, but I can copy and paste like a pro.  Wink

Nice post...things getting better now...as i learn a lot here...

Hi,

I'd like to present CGMinerMobileAdapter simple python script that allows to monitor CGMiner via MobileMiner mobile app (http://www.mobileminerapp.com/). Actually it was BFGMiner script, called BFGMobileAdapter, but I've added some stability fixes, and added remote commands support.

Script was created and tested on BAMT, CGminer and it's forks (vertminer, sgminer).

Features of the app (when using CGMinerMobileAdapter):

- Hashrate & temperatures monitoring
- Remote start / stop / restart of mining process
- email & push notification when rig is offline / overheating
- and more Smiley

Install inscructions:
Fist make sure that you have this line in your cgminer.conf:

Code:
"api-listen" : true

1. Log in via ssh or launch terminal

2. Execute:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/Axadiw/CGMinerMobileAdapter.git
cd CGMinerMobileAdapter
./install.sh

3. Provide email, machine name and application key (get your application key from the mobile app)

Above script installs app in /opt/CGMinerMobileAdapter directory, and add its to /etc/rc.local, so it'll run at system startup.

Allupdates would available on github page:
https://github.com/Axadiw/CGMinerMobileAdapter

If you'd like to donate, please use this account: 159XDGxhDLPrxWbByzM48Y6CKv4YH9jqTT

I hope it'll be useful for somebody Smiley

this is a great chance to know how and its time to check my bit coin....

Update: MinePeon 0.2.4.6 just hit sourceforge and you can get it at;-

http://sourceforge.net/projects/minepeon/files/latest/download?source=files

Because of the Apache 2.2 to 2.4 changes you will need to download and re-image (backup/restore if you want)

A short list of changes are;-

MinePeon 0.2.4.6 release notes

Cgminer 4.0.1
Bfgminer 3.10.0
Technobit HEX cgminer updated to 3.12.3 now supporting;-
hexminera hexminerc hexminerb hexmineru hexminer8
Plugins;- mariogrip's live plugin system implementated
Updates;- mariogrip Live update implemented
Arch Linux updated
CSRFGuard implemented to avoid CSRF attacks
Apache 2.4 replaces Apache 2.2
PHP moved to fastCGI
Design halt, reboot and restart little prettier
Languages mariogrip Languages implemented
Norwegian mariogrip implemented
Console Menu implemented for common functions (more to come)

Bug fixes:
  • When saving pools, it says "failed to restart miner" but it did restart
    miner is not changing back to original pool
    Donate sleeps between disable and remove pool (makes more stable)
    miner is (sometimes) not changing to Donate pool.
    Switch pool not working
    Minepeon cannot access the api (miners)
    Not listing devices (bfgminer)
    ++

Enjoy!

Hi All,

For some time I have been working on building a lightweight Linux for the Raspberry PI in my spare time with the intention of making it freely available for all to use.  I am very experienced with Linux and have been running my own Arch Linux GPU miners for quite some time now so I have cleaned it up (a lot) ported it over to ARM for the Raspberry PI.

Anyway, it seems that ASICs might be available soon and I would like to have it ready for that but it is missing one exceedingly important ingredient, testing.  I have done as much testing as I possibly can but my resources are somewhat limited, while I have a tone of GPUs I don't own any FPGAs that I can test with (and I certainly aren't going to buy one now) so I thought I would come to the community and ask for a bit of help.

So, if you have a Raspberry PI and a FPGA (or even just a PI if you just want to CPU mine for testing purposes) and want to help it would be appreciated, it is still in what I would call early alpha but it should be usable.  I have had one CPU mining for over 300 hours now without interruption.

I am hosting the images over at SourceForge so you can grab it from here;-

https://sourceforge.net/projects/minepeon/files/release/

The Official site is a bit raw as of yet, I am no graphic artist, and very dyslexic (no joke, its why I got into computing in the first place) but it has a few instructions and tips that will hopefully help just about anyone get it going is avalable here;-

http://mineforeman.com/minepeon/

Thanks for any help you can offer, honestly even a report that you can understand the instructions and get a login prompt will help.  If you report issues here I will try to get back to you as soon as possible with fixes.

i understand how it goes here...thanks for this post,,,,i learned a lot...

Re: M's Ant (S1/S2/S3) Monitor v3.5: alerts,auto reboot,mass reboots,multithreaded
by
FrancisEDumas
on 08/11/2014, 13:32:18 UTC
It grew old having to manually check each of my Ants to see how they were doing.  So I created this.

http://www.mdude.org/mantmonitor29.jpg
http://www.mdude.org/mantmonitor29alerts1.jpg
http://www.mdude.org/mantmonitor29alerts2.jpg

http://www.mdude.org/mantmonitor.jpg
(old version showing multiple S1s)

Features:

- Look at all your Ants (S1/S2/S3) in one spot, assuming you're using Windows (uses .net 4.0) and your PC can reach them all via your network.
- Can trigger visual alerts based on your criteria (temp too high, hash too low, fan too high, fan too low, X count too high).
- It can initiate a software reboot automatically if it detects a specified number of dreaded Xs in the status, if the hash rate drops too low, or if it fails to respond properly to an API poll request.
- You can manually reboot Ants from the display.
- You can manually update pool info for one or more S2s (or S1/S3s if you configured it to allow API access).
- Can use the API or Web scraping if your Ant isn't reachable via the API.  The Web port, SSH port, and API port are completely configurable per Ant.
- Shows the true hardware error percentage.
- You can use it to scan your network to pick up the Ant addresses, or you can enter them manually.
- Open source (GPL3): https://github.com/mdude77/MAntMonitor.
- Has configurable multi-threaded polling of your Ants.  You can use 1 to 64 threads simultaneously for your Ant farm.  It defaults to not displaying the updates to the grid until 1 second after the refresh was initiated.  You can (and should!) increase that value if you have a large number of Ants and/or you have slow video rendering.
- See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596178.msg8761439#msg8761439: Scanned 1200 Ants in 52 seconds.

Notes:

- Items on the output that may need additional explanation:
  - HWE = Hardware Error Percentage
  - Pools = 3 letters, one for each pool.  U = up, D = down, N = N/A (blank).  Hover the cursor over this column to see complete pool info.
  - Status = the number of Xs OR dashes in each chain.  0X is zero Xs, not "O" X.  That's a good thing!
  - Rej% = Pool percentage rejects
  - Stale% = Pool percentage stale
  - HFan = High fan speed of all fan speeds
  - HTemp = High temperature of all temperature readings
  - XCount = How many Xs are across all your chains
  - ACount = How many Alert counts there are for this Ant.  Sort by this column to have them bubble to the top.

Notes on how to use the pool info:
- Once you establish what pool #1, #2, and #3 are, the option to update pool info will appear on the right click menu on the Ant grid.
- To update more than one ant at a time you'll need to enable to selection column.
- Importing existing pool configs from Ants doesn't retrieve the password.  The PW doesn't seem to be in the API.  Most pools don't care about the PW, so I didn't consider this to be a big deal.
- Setting the pool en masse to your Ants does NOT work for S1s and S3s unless you modify the cgminer config to allow SSH API access.  You have to know how to do that (hint: google should be able to find it for you).
- Blank passwords are passed as "abc".  I haven't found a way to get the API to take a blank password yet.  Since most pools that would want a blank PW don't care about the PW, I don't see this to be a big deal.

Troubleshooting:
- BitDefender seems to cause problems with this app.  I think you can whitelist the app to fix the problem.  Other malware apps might cause problems as well.

Re: Does full node software auto mine?
by
FrancisEDumas
on 08/11/2014, 13:18:32 UTC
After downloading and syncronising "Bitcoin Core" full node software, it then begins to help the network by using your PC power to validate transactions (i think).

Does this mean you are mining solo?
Or do you still have to buy ridiculously priced hardware and then join a pool?

The main bitcoin site gives no info about this at all! And people like me cannot find any answers using google.

If it doesn't mine then why would it be validating transactions?
Does any software actually mine using your own DESKTOP PC resources rather than buying third party hardware?

Thanks guys

your post help me to understand more things i dont know...thanks to all the ones who reply also...

Re: HF - Tool to set voltages
by
FrancisEDumas
on 08/11/2014, 12:58:37 UTC
Hey everyone we are able to release a tool that allows you to adjust your voltage settings for your Evo and Habanero boards.  

HF has provided us with a python 3 script that we are allowed to distribute.

Basically in a nutshell this is good to use ONLY if your trying to push your boards past 900Mhz because you will need to increase the voltage on the board in order to give the chip more power.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, please read the LICENSE FILE first before using this tool.

This only works with one miner plugged in at a time!

The hftool.py utility is used to query and manipulate hashfast module settings.

Requirements:
 Python 3.x
 pip for Python 3.x
 Pyusb

Installing pip for python 3 on most unix systems (command for ubuntu below)
 sudo apt-get install python3-pip

hftool requires pyusb. To install it:
 pip3 install --pre pyusb

Put these into a file /etc/udev/rules.d/01-hashfast.rules:

You will need root access to create this file and also when done its recommended you reboot in order for these rules to take effect.

Code:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="297c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev”, ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="297c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8001", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2ff6", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

RUNNING

Start the tool by with:
Code:
$ ./hftool.py -h

Read die frequencies and voltages:
Code:
$ ./hftool.py -r

Write die frequencies and settings:
Code:
$ ./hftool.py -w 0:VLT@FRQ,1:VLT@FRQ,2:VLT@FRQ,3:VLT@FRQ

example would be setting all dies to .930 volts at 875Mhz
Code:
$ ./hftool.py -w 0:930@875,1:930@875,2:930@875,3:930@875

You can grab it from Bitbucket Git depo here https://bitbucket.org/gateway69/hf-tool

AND no I dont work for HF, we pushed them to get a tool released so our customers of our Habanero boards could tweak and push their boards.

Order your Habanero from Batch 2 today for $850 here


Thanks for sharing this informative post...building it and doing it great!
