Title: minepeon help
Post by: adih2001 on August 12, 2014, 03:58:58 PM
Hello! I have a raspberry pi with minepeon installed and a antminer u2 running!
Can someone tell me a list of compatible usb asic miners that work for minepeon? (note: i need devices that mine bitcoin not litecoin!)
THX for help.

Minepeon uses BFGMiner 3.4 or cgminer 3.6.4. For USB drivers see http://minepeon.com/index.php/Hardware (http://minepeon.com/index.php/Hardware).

If you want to run another version of cgminer, you can use the following instructions (I used it a while ago for the
 OneStringMiner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495536.300) board, so you might need to activate other ASICS with --enable-xxx):

# Log in to minepeon
$ cd /opt/minepeon
$ mkdir src
$ cd src
$ wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/4.3/cgminer-4.3.5.tar.bz2
$ bunzip2 cgminer-4.3.5.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
$ cd cgminer-4.3.5
$ ./configure --enable-bitfury
$  make
$  sudo rm /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer-old
# you could get an message that cgminer-old doesn’t exist, you can ignore this
$  sudo ln /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer-old
$  sudo rm /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer
$  sudo cp cgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/
$ screen -r
# stop the running cgminer by pressing the letter q (this is still the old cgminer running)
# wait 30 seconds to allow cgminer to restarted or start top and wait for cgminer to appear; quit top and continue
$ screen -r
# You should now see cgminer 4.3.5
# Press ctrl-A D to get back to the shell prompt
$ exit
