Re: Need your help, new Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon

Is there a command that can be run from ssh that will show the current cgminer hash rate?  and the current pool being used?

it is discussed on the previous page.
sudo screen -x

when you-re done detach the screen by pressing ctrl-a + d
closing the terminal window should work as well

Code:
[minepeon@minepeon ~]$ sudo screen -x
[sudo] password for minepeon:
[detached]
[minepeon@minepeon ~]$

Thank you... sorry for my oversight.  I must have missed it.

It would also be nice if these could be added to the index.php page.

Received 2 of my units today, they are working great on raspberrypi with minepeon Smiley
They working just out of the box? You do not need anything to upgrade? Can you explain more please:)

1. plug the miner into a powered usb hub
2. configure pools on the web interface of minepeon.
3. modify   /usr/lib/systemd/system/bfgminer.service add this to start options "--icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1" (this is for 2 devices)
4.reload systemctl : systemctl daemon-reload
5.start bfgminer : systemctl start bfgminer
6.maybe cgminer was started automaticaly, stop it : systemctl stop cgminer.service



I was having trouble getting my pi to run.  I tried all the editing, demon reloading and everything, no dice.

I noticed there was a new version of MinePeon dated 7/6/13, so I re-wrote my SD card with it.  It worked straight away with no editing, just the pool addresses.  I assume it is running cgminer as it says it is loaded in the scrolling startup text.

http://mineforeman.com/minepeon/ has the download link for the "Erupter Bob" version.  "Butterfly Bob" didn't work for me.

Do you mind sharing what make/model USB hub you used?

Minepeon running my Jalapeno and five block erupters Smiley

Arduino providing a hardware watchdog function, automatically reboots the raspi if mining stops for more than 5 minutes

Is that an Rosewill USB 2.0 Hub

For those who received it, did you have to sign anything when you were delivered?

I used my office address, which is closed on Saturdays, and the tracking tells me it was delivered today. That leaves only two options, someone at my office is working extra today and signed for it, or they just dropped the parcel in the box without anyone signing for it.

Thanks for your answer!

I had to sign for mine

Upon installing the latest version the graphs show some history for May.
How can this data be blanked out?

sudo rm -f /opt/minpeon/var/rrd/* .

Sorry, I must not have cleared my testing data.

Another question: What's the purpose of configuring up to 3 pools in MinePeon? Is it a failsafe, e.g. if pool 1 is down, then pool 2 is used instead?

Yep.

Recommendation: Regarding the new "minutes per 24 hours" donation feature, I recommend that you allow this to be configured as the 4th pool on the settings page that says "donations pool" which shows (and even lets you edit) the donations pool. Probably a good place to include the # minutes option as well. Here's why:

That was my first thought but in the end it proved to be too unreliable.  About 1 time in 20 it would end up doing the wrong thing.  While the miner API allows you to add and remove and switch pools you add a pool by using the pool details and remove and switch polls by using their ID number with no mention of what the pool details are.  Even with all of the pools in there are there is no command to order the pool priorities as you would like (i.e. pool 4, 1, 2, 3 or pool 1,2,3,4).

I have spent the best part of 2 months thinking and working on this and have tried multiple ways of making sure it works as intended and this is by far the best way of doing it, it has yet to fail on me.

In the end though if you still are worried about it the solution is simple, just set it to 0 and dont donate or help me test and improve it.

Neil



Maybe you could add mining pool / worker /etc parameters on the settings page for the donations.  That way if you change your mind on which pool you want to use it can be changed without a new release.


also - is there any coding  dependent on "root".  I'd prefer to change the password once my miner is in production.

Forgot to add!

It has my 'donation' code in it as well.  When you set it up go to the settings page and you will see a new option called "Donation (Minutes per 24 hours)" set to default of 15 minutes.

What it does is at 00:00 (midnight your time if you set your timezone) it mines using a MinePeon Donation account for the amount of minutes you set (Zero if you like).

Neil


I like this idea of creating a hassle free donation that will support the continuing development of this product.

If the Erupters are drawing 510ma
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212085.0

And the Raspberry Pi draws 515ma under load as stated here:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=6050&start=50

Than this is a rough calculation of how many amps you would pull in just powering Erupters:
Qty   Total Amps
1   0.51
2   1.02
3   1.53
4   2.04
5   2.55
6   3.06
7   3.57
8   4.08
9   4.59
10   5.1
   
And this is a this is a rough calculation of how many amps you would pull in powering Erupters and powering a Rpi off the usb hub also:
   
1   1.025
2   1.535
3   2.045
4   2.555
5   3.065
6   3.575
7   4.085
8   4.595
9   5.105
10   5.615

FPGA and ASIC simultaneously
by

Could someone please tell me if CGMiner or BFGminer can run FPGA and ASIC simultaneously?  For example,  a BFL FGPA and a ASICMiner USB Erupter.

Or do they lock into running only one type of hardware at a time ?

It'd be great if you could do that for us! Currently I'm hoping this will power my five units. It can deliver 3A of current, hopefully that will be enough!

I believe that should be enough power for 5 units.  They each draw 500-510 ma (.51 A) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212085.0

You may have to worry about to much heat being generated unless you add a fan to cool the units.

I send a payment to Friedcat to order 200 units.

Now I will work to help the remaining buyers to complete payment and order the second batch.

Excellent!  thanks for the update

Re: Question about addresses
by
tingwahk
on 27/05/2013, 17:27:20 UTC

It creates a transaction that has 2 inputs.  One input is the transaction output that assigned 1.0 BTC to 1HSDRZYfcenZBNCZjk4y5wyxzPc79a6y33, the other input is the transaction output that assigned 1.0 BTC to 12Ui8b9q6eqhTxZkow8H7VHbZafEnsPDs3.


Thank you!  I think this is the step I was missing. I didn't realize it was publicly announcing how it was funding the transaction.  I wanted to make sure we weren't relying on the client application to be telling the truth

Question about addresses
by

on 27/05/2013, 16:48:36 UTC
Since every transaction you conduct can have its own address:

If i receive 1.0 BTC  to address 1HSDRZYfcenZBNCZjk4y5wyxzPc79a6y33 and receive another 1.0 BTC to 12Ui8b9q6eqhTxZkow8H7VHbZafEnsPDs3 and then send 2.0 BTC
from address 2MJCaKXznp76qc69BwYDG4C28i8bNQng1N,  Can someone explain how the network is confirming there's sufficient funds for the transaction?

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't find any documentation that explains it.

Greetings.

Did you tried minepeon? I have it running in 3 Raspberry Pi's and they are stable for many days, 24/7.

Site: http://minepeon.com/index.php/Main_Page

Best regards.

Here's the thread the developer of MinePeon uses:
