Title: Looking for Raspberry PI mining proxy that can have failover pools
Post by: DRKMSTR on March 19, 2016, 10:22:03 PM
I have been trying to set up a mining proxy to run on my raspberry pi.

For some reason my antminer just goes into armageddon mode when a pool goes down.

Half the time I have to manually turn of the miner and turn it on again.


Any suggestions?

Don't buy Bitmain miners?

Well Kano's right but. Maybe you can do some tricks for now.

Where are the Machines located? Country is all I need to know

Where do you mine?

Some miners in some countries do not like certain pools.

So a change of pools may help.

Do you use Ethernet connection?

Do you have fans set manually at 55 % to 65%?

boycott bitmain jk.



is it a s5 , get the July 2015 firmware it kind of fixed some of that, other wise S5's have that issue and i hear S7 to , to some extent, can't say on the s7 .

I have been successful in using Minera, found at http://getminera.com/, as a stratum proxy for fast pool switching on my Raspberry Pi. That should satisfy your listed requirements. You will need to configure Minera to run bfgminer and add the command --stratum-port=3333 to enable the stratum proxy. These configuration options are all found under the Local Miner Settings page. You will see your devices populate bfgminer as PXY.
