Title: Raspi, R-box miner and Sidehack stick
Post by: spazzdla on January 11, 2017, 03:50:27 PM
Does anyone have a youtube video on how to get these two miners to  work on raspbin?

I have probably spent over 40 hours trying with zero success.. windows took me like 10 mintues...  It is widly frustrating.

So many different guides.. all fail....

Even tried a mining OS.. didn't boot up..



Would be nice if I could buy a windows 10 OS that could be installed on three different comps and it worked on rasp pi..

That's exactly the setup I had a few months back. I used cgminer-gekko (from the gekkostick thread) and it worked fine for me on a raspian os.

I followed this link, but changed bits as necessary to get the gecko cgminer instead:-

cgminer does not work with an R-Box because the lack of an driver for it.
The sidehack stick works with an icarus driver.
Thats all I can say.

I used it with the Rbox Rev2 (small square USB one with dual fans) and it worked fine.

Ok, sorry then, I didn't know that.
