What did I do wrong this time?

Nothing, I am merging everything back to master in order to put out a release with all most of the new features.  The unstable branch will be disappearing (for now).  I just have a few remaining bug's to sort and I need to change everything from apache 2.2 to 2.4 and I am done Wink .

Neil
Good luck, my friend.

Meanwhile, there was today a second update to apache 2.4:  apache-2.4.7-2-armv6h   1143.7 KiB

With the end of MtGox, is there a new version of cgminerLCDStats that could get the price of the BTC at other exchange?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the news, Neil.

I tried today the updates (pacman -Syu & git pull) on the RPI I have at work, after 1 week of holidays, with only 28 Arch Linux updates  Grin, without problems.

I got the following error, trying to git pull MinePeon:

As expected, after a reboot of the RPI, there was no MinePeon GUI, but I got the following error with Google Chrome (with the 3 RPI's @ home, I only get the "This webpage is not available" message):

Hey Neil,

I'm currently on 0.2.5 pr2 and I usually do an OS update every week or so with pacman -Syu.

Unfortunately the latest Arch update did a "significant" upgrade to Apache to 2.4 and provided various xxxxx.conf.pacnew files for me to play with and diff with your modified set of httpd Conf files. So Apache and the WebUI is essentially dead for me right now.

ct1aic - I assume this is the same thing you were describing above...

Since my miners are still running fine and I can configure stuff via SSH in the meantime, I think I'll let you play with this stuff first and then I'll just download the next 0.2.5 image when it's ready, but I did want to give you the head's up on the probable cause. Wink
Yes, I think it's the same problem. And yes, the bfgminers still work and alter each crash, the miner still restarts. MinePeon is also sending emails when there is a problem.
106  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon on: March 08, 2014, 10:55:28 AM
Hi again, Neil.

I've being doing daily updates to the Arch OS (yes, there are updates almost all days to the OS) and to the MinePeon software (no updates almost all days) to my 4 RPI's running last "unstable" image of MinePeon.

As already reported, 2 of my RPI's, the ones with 25 to 36 USB Block Erupters, do 1 or 2 daily reboots, as they stop responding to pings (they crash). The one with only 5 USB Block Erupters and the one with 7 Jalapenos, are stable, rarely crashing.

Starting today, the browser stopped working, after the daily crash's, on my 2 "problematic" RPI's. I restarted the RPI with the Jalapenos and I also got the same problem.

I still can access the bfgminer of each RPI, via SSH / screen -r, but there is no MinePeon GUI.

What can I do? Can you help me?

"if you can't sell a debit card with the aspect and image of the one you are presenting at your site, don't use that image at all or you will be cheating your clients."

Really, it matters that much what the card looks like?  Personally, if I ordered a debit card, I wouldn't care whether it looks different from what is pictured on the site, as long as it WORKS.  No matter though, I have updated the faq to show the correct image of the card:
https://bitplastic.com/bitcoin-debit-card

This is in fact your first attitude of honesty since you start selling Polish VISA debit cards.

...
"In my case, and as I'm a client of the Bank Zachodni, with direct access to the account of a debit card with same image of the one I received from BitPlastic, I would never buy it from BitPlastic. I feel cheated."

You feel CHEATED?  You ordered a Bitcoin debit card and you received a Bitcoin debit card.  Tell you what.  Post your BitPlastic username here and an external Bitcoin wallet address. I will HAPPILY refund your debit card deposit and delete your BitPlastic account.  Sound good?

IN FACT, IF YOU FEEL 'CHEATED' BY SUCCESSFULLY PURCHASING ONE OF OUR PRODUCTS, AND RECEIVING IT, YOU ARE NOT SOMEONE WE WANT AS A CLIENT.  WE WILL BE HAPPY TO REFUND YOUR DEBIT CARD DEPOSIT!!
Beautiful way to treat customers... But this is in fact your second attitude of honesty since you start selling Polish VISA debit cards.

Thank you for all of your posts, it's not the alarms or buyer beware posts that are keeping me away, it's your horrible attitude.

Services are created to cater to the people who use them, not you the owner. We don't care for your personal preferences and while some of your most influential customers are giving you key feedback, you're looking right over it and spewing garbage out of the chip on your shoulder.

Business isn't for everyone and this business clearly isn't for me or the BTC community.
Thanks for your words, 31337157. You understood my (and other's) point of view.

Technically, yes, there is a $3500 USD limit on the card.  What this means is that $3500 USD can processed through the card in a one year period.

Please note this limit is set by the bank, not by us.  Banks are required to set a low limit for the card because of anti-money-laundering rules.

However, the limit means nothing.  If you need to convert $35,000 per year from Bitcoin to cash, then you just need to buy 10 cards - either all at once or over a one-year period, it's up to you.

The card is 100% FREE.  So once you hit the $3,500 limit on your card, we refunded your card deposit fee, and you can request another card, if you so choose.

As for the card being a 'scam', I don't see where that accusation would come from.  Yes, you can buy similar prepaid cards on ebay, but how does that help you convert bitcoin to cash?  Plus the ebay/paypal fees are significant.

My comments are trying to point out your lack of honesty. I bought one BitPlastic, because of the aspect of the card. If you put an image of something for selling, the buyer wants that same aspect/image, and not some other object.

BitPlastic site needs to have an alert for the "image" of the debit card not being the image of the real thing they are sending to their clients. In my case, and as I'm a client of the Bank Zachodni, with direct access to the account of a debit card with same image of the one I received from BitPlastic, I would never buy it from BitPlastic. I feel cheated.

No, we do not issue these cards out of our own office; we are NOT a bank.  These cards are issued by Bank Zachodni in Poland.  We handle all aspects of the card for you, from registering (difficult, because it is in polish) to converting bitcoin and funding your card.  Yes, you could do this on your own and probably save some money on fees.  We automate the process and make it easy to convert Bitcoin to cash.  

As I told before, if you can't sell a debit card with the aspect and image of the one you are presenting at your site, don't use that image at all or you will be cheating your clients. Try to be honest and use the real image of the Polish debit card you are sending to your clients, as the service you are also selling is useful.

Check out https://bitplastic.com/ it's a newer debit loader card for loading your bitcoins onto and using it to buy stuff in fiat cash.

Because the person wanted to keep it anonymous the card is limited to $200 USD a day, but you can own multiple cards. There is also a one time fee to get the card, 0.25BTC, there are no hidden fees or monthly fees. There is a interact fee of about $1.50, if you live in Canada their will be a bank machine fee likely associate to it as banks have gotten more clever at stealing our money that they now charge a machine fee to withdraw money from them if you are not a member of their bank. So when I use TD or CIBC with my Scotia Bank card I am dinged $2.00 as a machine fee, and then my bank dings me another $1.50 for an interact fee.

I don't know anything about it and nor am I related to it. I am just sharing what I know, so don't shoot the messenger! Smiley


BitPlastic is, in my humble opinion, something like a SCAM! The card they send is not like the Mastercard seen at their site and @ Facebook, it's not new, but is instead a regular debit VISA Electron card from the Polish Bank Zachodni WBK, that anyone can buy at eBay at a very lower price. I had bought one with same Eiffel Tower image, starting with same 4830 4712 card number and from same Polish bank, at the beginning of last year.

After last git pull, from some minutes ago, the graphics are now "not zoomed" and with date "Sat 17 Jan 1970" in my 3 RPI's with MinePeon Pi 0.2.5 pr2.

Hmm, can I get a screen shot of that ct1aic?  It is not something I have seen before and I will see if I can replicate it.

I like this tool. It is great. With bitminter the store DB stats does not work. But for the rest it is great.
Same for me. I can't store DB stats or MPoolMonitor gives me "PJ:API ERROR".

do you have the x64 version of office or x86 (32-bit)?  I'm pretty sure it doesn't work properly with 64-bit access.

eheh... The Insurance Company where I work and tried the MPoolMiner has banned Microsoft Office. We use  LibreOffice.
