I can't even get these hubs to hash without some serious HW errors unless i only have like 2 usb miners in each of the hubs connected to the main hub....  Any help on how to get 15 miners working well on 3 dlink hubs please let me know.  Or do i need a 4th to spread out the power, all i know is the roswell 10 port can easly take 7 or 8 just cant use it like the dlink in that i get com errors?  i dont know i dont have 2 to try..

I thought the same about the power draw.. His pi's are running off his hubs, which i have and they are giving me problems.  When I connect 2 dlinks to one, and that one's connect to pi. i cant even run 10 on the 2 connected hubs that way, 1 always doesnt start and have hardware errors.  And my Pi is powered with its own supply.  LOST!

I refuse to run my rPi's off the hubs, just doesn't seem logical when I have tons of extra 5v 1amp USB connectors sitting around (Apple i-Device chargers), plus I recently bought a nice surge protector that was laid out spaciously (to allow for power adapters), small surprise was that it also had 2x USB 5v @ 2a connections, so now I use those.

Also worth mentioning (possibly), power conditioning, not sure if this plays a huge role in things or not, but I noticed when I switched from a cheap surge protector coming off my UPS system to a not-so-cheap surge protector which had in-line power conditioning as well and not connected to my UPS, my rate of hardware errors has drastically gone down, a lot. Found this to be interesting, since I only changed the surge protector and the outlet to where it was getting the power.

I run RHB-500 Rosewill 10-Port hubs w/8 usable... I tried the "use the red wire (5v) and ground to a barrel-plug adapter from a PSU" (to get it to run all 10 ports) however the PSU I bought for $10 (still 400watt), tired it on one hub, couldn't get more than 6 to run... and couldn't find my multi-meter so I just said screw it and went back to using the power bricks, lol. I imagine it's due to the cheap-as-hell PSU...

Yeah i have 8 on a roswell in my config like i said and no problems with that guy going to replace these dhubs with another roswell.

http://rdmsnippets.com/2013/07/24/mining-bitcoins-with-usb-block-erupters-a-raspberry-pi-and-minepeon/

how is this guy getting good results, and i cant even tell how all 6 are connected i don't see the ethernet cables.. well enough of them.  Wtf ver of minepeon is he using id love to know... and how he got the hubs to use so many and work so well...

From the webUI I would say 0.2.3...

Also, he's wasting some (very little) energy by using 4 pi's when you could easily use two. However I did find it interesting he's got 88 erupters at 351watts, as I know my setup of 32 erupters + fans, fans, fans, fans, fans (10x fans) one a single rPi sits at 105-115watts. So just doing some simple math, if I triple my farm to 96 erupters (including adding another pi, plus fans to match growth at the current rate of fans). I should be at 315watts to 345watts... hrmm... am I missing something here, where's his power draw coming form?

96 erupters = 32GH/s+, at the current price of .11BTC per erupter, 10.56 BTC (+cost of fans, usb hubs, rPi, etc...)

Now, 4 ASIC Blades I've clocked using 346watts (on a 1200watt PSU, including a wireless router & raspberryPi & 6 fans) ... they average 40GH/s however after running for awhile pick up to around 50GH/s (so far seen a max of 53.4GH/s out of the 4). At the current price of 3.5BTC (4x = 14BTC).

4 blades = 40-53GH/s, at current price of 3.5BTC per blade, 14BTC total + cost of PSU, fans, rPi (if you want, not necessary, though I think it is...)

If you add in the cost of USB Hubs, it makes up the extra 3.44BTC needed to buy said blades, where you have more hashing power and the power to hashrate is better than with erupters. Hmm... I was going to go to 96 erupters, but after doing this, it just seems more logical to sell my erupters and buy more blades and/or Blue Fury Miners.

I can't even get these hubs to hash without some serious HW errors unless i only have like 2 usb miners in each of the hubs connected to the main hub....  Any help on how to get 15 miners working well on 3 dlink hubs please let me know.  Or do i need a 4th to spread out the power, all i know is the roswell 10 port can easly take 7 or 8 just cant use it like the dlink in that i get com errors?  i dont know i dont have 2 to try..

right now i finally got all 15 of my usb miners running via pi but using 4 hubs in total, 3 dlink 5ports and 1 roswell 10 port.  I have the one dlink as the main hub for the other usb hubs to plug into.  After trying and trying i could never get all 5 slots in both of the (dlinks dhub7 the popular one for pi) to every get all of the miners running.  I wasnt even close with cgminer so i switched to bfgminer.  So i offloaded 1 by 1 and in different setups took miners from the hubs and added them to the 5 miners i had in the roswell, i got to the max for the roswell, and then added some to the main dlink usb hub that plugs into my pi.  I am now stable with very very few HW errors ~1% down from 10%+.  

My question is there any other efficient way to run this. As i see it just get another roswell cause i cant link these dlinks to a main dlink hub for shit, anyone know the trick?  My cooling is powered outside the setup so thats not eating power.  Hate having 2 hubs here with only 2 miners in them, and if i put more in...magical HW errors.

So i got it running but in my chain of d hubs only 3 are recongnized after the first hub leaving 4 unregonized and not hashing.  Thinking about just plugging them into my roswell 10 and plugging that into the remaining pi port but really wanted to run these off the 3 dhub's any ideas?
I have the same issue running bfgminer.  There are always 3-4 USB's that are not recognized within my 5 hubs.  I have 1 hub feeding 3 on one USB and 1 hub on the 2nd USB for a total of 5.

man i been at this all day was fine running 12, on a mix of a dhub and roswell 10 port but now i am just looking for a way to get all of them running, sumtin is up with the hubs i don't get it.

Sorry if this has been brought up before, I tried to search/Google but couldn't find what I was looking for.

How do I recompile BFGMiner and copy the files needed to right directories on minepeon?

Also, how do I update minepeon easiest besides flashing a new image to the SD-card.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I usually just:
Code: (Compile BFGMiner)
sudo bash

#stop bfgminer if it's running
systemctl stop bfgminer

cd /opt/minepeon/bin/
mv bfgminer bfgminer_old

git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

If you want to add in libmicrohttpd (proxy) support (not sure if it's packaged with bfgminer now or you still need to download it, but I've been downloading it and including it in the configure):

Code: (Compile BFGMiner w/libmicrohttpd)
sudo bash

#stop bfgminer if it's running
systemctl stop bfgminer

pacman -Syu libmicrohttpd

cd /opt/minepeon/bin/
mv bfgminer bfgminer_old

git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-libmicrohttpd
make


Afterwards I usually change the bfgminer.service to user the executable inside the directory (as for me I have several diff versions of BFGMiner).

Code: (Edit bfgminer.service)
sudo systemctl stop bfgminer
sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/bfgminer.service

#edit the path to /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer/bfgminer

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start bfgminer

Edit:
 
To update MinePeon (base)
Code:
cd /opt/minepeon/
git pull

To update MinePeon WebUI (use with caution):
Code:
cd /opt/minepeon/http/
git pull

To update the OS system packages:
Code:
sudo pacman -Syu


This is awesome i really needed this but im having a problem.  Same as many my pi isnt seeing or having com issues under cgminer using dhub's.  Problems with 2 in chain...cant get past that but roswell is working fine next to it.  I went through steps on the minepeon site to stop cg and start BG with no success can you you help me out on how to get bfgminer running.

  • There's a good chance when you get your package your shit will be broken. It is packaged exceptionally poorly for such an expensive piece of equipment.
  • If your shit is broken you probably won't get a replacement for several months at which point your investment will no longer be of any value.
  • Just go ahead and go buy a power supply and have it ready for when your product arrives and save yourself the headache.
  • Whichever pool you're on, if it's not specifically set up for ASIC mining, you probably won't be able to hash at full speed because getworks will be too slow so pick a pool that is specifically for ASIC mining.
  • The Single SC is VERY LOUD. It sounds like a salon grade hair dryer. You'll want to put it somewhere that you won't be sleeping.

1) If you're PSU is broken, send them an email. One of my Little Single PSUs was dead, and they sent me a replacement. No big deal.
2) That said, I did configure a server PSU to have a bunch of PCIe power connectors, so I can power 4 SC Singles off one PSU. Best part? It only cost me $60.
3) The stock PSU should work fine, and has been working for me for several months.
4) See here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.0 If you're not using a pool that's "ASIC Ready", you need a new pool.
5) The SC Single us loud, but it's not hair dryer loud. Yes, I have slept in the same room as 2 of them going, and it's not unreasonable. You can minimize the noise by running it outside of it's case and without the side fans, but that's a more advanced and extreme measure. Your best bet? Stick it somewhere cool and isolated where you don't have to listen to it. Obv I don't run all of mine in the middle of my living room, but instead somewhere secure and separate, where I barely notice the noise.

You must sleep like a fucking overweight beer ready for hibernation...I Have a log house with a fully finished insulated basement with hvac and i can hear it through the floors in the morning making coffee.  Glad i just sold mine as for the power consumption compared to the 2 gh block erupters...
