I downloaded the Rpi image from Rockminer (both 0.3.1 & 1.3.0), but neither of them sees the R-Box.

The fan is going, and a red LED is on the miner, but it's not seen.

Supposedly this image has everything you need ypo run the R-BOX.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I've already tried 2 different USB cable, a 1A & 2.1A PS on the RPi, the 12V supply for the R-BOX is a 12v 6A.


Thanks,
David

Hi all.
Just wanted to share my experience with the Rockminer R-Box on Raspberry pi.
I didn't realise there were any guides so I just sort of winged it, and I guess you can too.
I have 2 running at the moment on a powered USB hub at 290MHz and getting a combined of 71GHS
Raspberry Pi Model B

(sorry for poor formatting, this is just a quick explanation)
My steps:
Install Raspian from the Raspberry Pi website (in fact I used NOOBS to install it to a 32gb micro-SD with an SD card adapter)
SSH in from my windows box
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev (to get the dependencies)
sudo wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-4.4.2.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvf cgminer-4.4.2.tar.bz2
(rename to cgminer) sudo mv cgminer-4.4.2 cgminer
cd cgminer
./configure --enable-icarus (let it churn and burn for like 15 minutes)
make

Now it's all working with CLI (no webserver or anything, cause I don't like it)

Now I just run it with

screen sudo ./cgminer -o blablah -u blah -p blah --rock-freq 290

The screen command just lets it run in the background even when you close the the SSH session.

I also just made a little shell script that runs on boot, reboot the pi and you're good to go.

Hope that helps anyone who's been struggling.

thanks for your work on this guide and sharing with us
it will help users like me to learn more about pools

I have a couple of HP Proliant Servers Gen8 with 96 GB memory  each laying around in my study room doing nothing  but it run on Windows server OS.  I am not much of a Linux . Can you create the video utilizing Windows.

Just what I  have been looking for. Thanks for your videos not often people do for free.

What would the min requirements needed for a server needed to run on. I have a spare system doing nothing with 500GB hard drive on it x4 amd 3.8Ghz

Does everything need to be done in Linux or can a pool be made for Windows etc???

I am getting this error:

chown: cannot access ‘public/templates/compile’: No such file or directory
chown: cannot access ‘public/templates/cache’: No such file or directory

i checked the git, and shows [[MOVED] Removed include and templates from public [TESTING]]

any idea if we need to do any extra step?

You could probably make MPOS work under a VM, but CoiniumServ might also be of interest to you.  Note that it's only the server side, not the public-facing web side (MPOS is pretty much a turnkey solution, offering all of it neatly packaged together).
I can't really think of a good reason to use a Windows-based server for this, though, unless it's all you have available to you for some reason

Yep. Instead they've taken the colors from our flag and assumed they're "the Australian colors"... no Aussie thinks blue, red, white are Australian. It almost looks like a USA coin or something. Even if they did a google search for Aussie colors they would see it's Green and Gold!!


Me lying, or them? I assume you mean them. I'm just saying it how it is. I dont mine or invest in this coin. I'm commenting here because I'm an Aussie and it feels bad to see our name used like this for something so lame. The creators clearly have NO IDEA about Australia. Spend 5 minutes on Google and you'll see that!

Australian Colors: Green and Gold.
