Title: BFGMiner + RasPi/Raspian + Block Erupters freezing randomly
Post by: aknartrebna on December 04, 2013, 07:25:55 PM
I'm running BFGMiner on a RasPi+Raspian with 6 Block Erupters and on average once a day the whole system freezes.  When I try to access the window manager the screen stays black.  Is anyone else experiencing this or knows a solution?  I know it's not my network because I have a script that handles that, which works fine.

Thanks in advance!

I had a helleva time trying to get BFGMiner to work properly on my RasPi. Have you tried MinePeon?

I'm probably going to now, as my original intention was to use the RasPi for other things too, but the hardware was far weaker than I imagined :p
I've lost a lot of BTC thanks to all of the downtime :(
