You'd have to run your own Bitcoind on the Pi (I doubt that'd work due to storage and memory contraints), or point MinePeon to your Bitcoin-Qt on your main machine (running in server mode).

Blades work OK off the stratum_proxy here - tested on Eligius, BTCGuild and Slush's.  The proxy is running on my home server (AMD E2-2000 running Server 2012, so not exactly a power-house).  I've got two Blades and 11 Erupters running through the proxy, and it's only using 5% of the Dorito CPU.

Yeah, no problems, I'll take a pic this evening if I remember.

I bought a pair of 6-pin PCI-E extension leads.  Cut one end off, stripped, twisted and soldered the wires together.  Plug in to PCI-E connections on PSU, jump green and black wire on the ATX connector, job done.

Got two blades, my fan controller (running 6 fans), two USB hubs for my Block Erupters, and a miniITX machine all running off an old 500W PSU.  Whole lot draws less than 350W from the wall.

What pool are you connecting to?

Yep, GYGAFO. 

(Get Your Gear And F*** Off)

I was mining on P2Pool for a while, running my own node.  But, 3+ days to solve a block was horrendous.  I'm mining on BTCGuild again.  Eligius is my backup pool.  Have to try and get ROI somehow...

Agreed.  I used to mine with a few 7950s.  Now I've a load of Erupters and two Blades. 

So, why do you want to reset it?     Plug them in, set them up and mine bitcoins.

Got both Blades, and 10 Erupters, plus fan controller with 4 fans running off the old 30A supply.  Drawing 21A@12v.  Annoyingly, it's drawing over 500W from the mains, and emitting a ridiculous amount of heat.  These old bench supplies are NOT efficient in any way.

Will definitely be switching over to a decent, working ATX PSU ASAP.

The Erupter resellers are supplied with extra miners to replace the faulty ones.  ASICMiner expects a 2% failure rate in the warranty period. 

I have 11 of them, and they're all working away fine, and some of those are well out of warranty now.  If one pops, then I'll feel like I'm unlucky. 

Longer than what? 

I got two 12" ones for £2 each off eBay.

Yes.  Either sell it on, return it, or mark it down to bad luck.

It doesn't.

Wow, terrible luck at the moment. 

If your Anker is giving trouble, then it's most likely the USB3 drivers on your PC.  I couldn't get mine working properly on the ASMedia USB3 ports on my AMD rig. Wouldn't work reliably on a Renesys USB3 on another Intel machine (H61 chipset Intel Desktop board).  Works perfectly on the Intel chipset USB3 on a different PC.

I've had better luck plugging the Anker hub straight in to a USB2 port. 

Some of in this thread have a grasp of the English language.  Others seem to use English as a second or third language after C++ and Gibberish.

All this "It'll never give you ROI" bullshit makes the huge assumption that BTC will remain around the $120 mark.

If BTC suddenly goes up to $500, the ROI goalposts move significantly.

They'll be paying us to take them soon. 

Thanks.   I was being careful with what cables I was using going by the label on the PSU.  It was giving trouble it seems, it was powering my last GPU miner machine, which wasn't the most stable.  I just stripped the machine last week.  Seems it was that PSU.
