you need a monitor initially because it's IP address is unknown and even a scanner cant't find what has not been set.

I grabbed a TV and hookup it up via hdmi and had it running in about 45 minutes then it went to my always cool and dry basement where the mining equip is located. I give mine a static ip so after a reboot I always know where to find it.

I have not heard a single good thing about the zadig software and everyone says to remove it, but I want to mine BTC and LTC on my gridseeds on my pi rasberry - has anyone figured out a way around the zadig software?

yes - the recommend an 8 gb card - I bought one with the card and a 24 port hub.

ok - I just followed the directions on Post #1 of this thread for: STEP BY STEP RASPBERRY SCRIPTA INSTALLATION

and cgminer started right up

and is running just fibne

two questions - can it be run nohup - so that it can run even when I don;t have an ssh session?

and #2 - how do I get it to run and mine BTC simultaneously?


by the way - my pi rasberry is running 20 gridseeds

Jeff

what distribution are you guys using to compile cgminer?

the one that listed in the gridseek setup thread compiles fine but does not run on my pi rasberry - it just hangs

I need one that compiles and runs!

thanks

I can't even get cgminer to run i pi rasberry - just hangs

still can;t get cgminer to work
compile gies fine using instruction in post #1 of this thread.

has anyone else tried cgminer yet?

in any event - when attempting to run cgminer with all usb devices I get a segmentation fault.


and when trying it with a usb device defined it just sits there - although It does write some info to the syslog - rasberry pi

root@raspberrypi:/home/miner/usb-miner/software/cgminer# ./cgminer --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850 -o stratum+tcp://us.ltcrabbit.com:3334 -u xxx.17 -p 123

it just sits there.

I also run netstat -an and it has not opened any connections either.

too bad this:

ASRock H61 Pro BTC mobo


can't be found anywhere in the U.S. - no one has it.

bummer

it appears to me - at least from a 15 minute research that you need to setup your own server - such as stratum which is open source - many of the smaller pools are using some canned application since they all look the same.

here's a nice alternative - which I may do tonight on one of my servers.

read a few posts down: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=1558.0

it's about setting up a private p2pool server

which can be downloaded here. I may try it since I have over a 50% change of finding a block in 30 days and that would pay better than what I'm getting in a pool - hell - we wouldn't even be here if we were not risk takers.

download it here: http://p2pool.in/

thanks but I like to try new things

humor me please..

I really want to run my 20 gridseeds to mine solo for ltc for a few days...

I'm having trouble finding out the setup

can someone point me in the right direction to get the setup info?

Jeff

why not seeing if you can telnet to port

no have not tried without nohup and don't imagine i will since I'm running twnety jobs from a shell file

usb device stays busy.

I've been experimenting with cpuming and cgminer running on rasberry and if I kill a job (I started with nohup) and then try to restart it - I get an error that the usb device is busy.

anyway to 'nuke' this bust state?

thanks

so - given the blelow list - I would have number like:
1:27
1:26
1:25
1:24
etc?

has anyone tried cgminer in the beginning of this thread?

I can't get it to work

root@raspberrypi:/home/miner/usb-miner/software/cgminer# ./cgminer -F 850 -G /dev/ttyACM10  -o stratum+tcp://us.ltcrabbit.com:3334 -u xxxx.10 -p 123
 [2014-03-18 16:09:36] ./cgminer: -F: unrecognized option   

neither I think - some bare metal circuit boards with an LTC and BTC mining app built into the onboard simm.

anyone want to buy the little controllers and 12 port usb hubs that comes with the 20-gridseed kit?

I got mine yesterday and am running them off of a pi rasberry and don't need the controllers and hubs that came with the kit.

Jeff

yeehaw!


got them all running




BTC next!
