That means that Arch Linux will be gone and replaced with a full embedded os. This will allow lots of things, simply updates, improve security, allow ASIUC manufacturers to use it etc....
why don't you just use Raspian?  You could then easily support updates not only for your own packages via apt (you could even script/chron this for auto updates) but also for the core supportive packages as well no need to reinvent the wheel Raspbian would obviously only work on Raspberry Pi... ^^^^ Very good answer to that question. The other thing is that the standard linux distro's are very generic, they dont even come with some of the libraries required (libhidapi) or they if they do have the libraries they are broken for mining or just very badly tuned (libusb). Building my own OS from the ground up allows me to get very tuned and very efficent. As an example a standard OS for the Raspberry PI or the BBB is about 450 - 500 MB. All but about 45 MB of that is bloat, and badly tuned bloat at that. The current alpha alpha image of MinePeon is 37 MB of lean mean mining machine  . Neil cool well I am eagerly awaiting you to post it for us to mess with. |

i received it too but im not sure what to do with it. i dont want to get charged more.
why would you be charged more? |

I gave them bitcoins I want bitcoins back.. But the logical question is this.
If bitcoin crashed. Would you still want your bitcoins? Even tho in the contract they said full bitcoin refund... So if you gave them 6 bitcoins and it crashed, would you be mad if you got your 6 bitcoins back or would you storm the gates for cash refunds even tho you agreed to btc refunds....
I originally bought and payed with bitcoins and was told my refund would be in bitcoins. If bitcoin crashed, and they gave me back my bitcoins (60 BTC, worth little or nothing) it would be fine. They kept their end of the deal. The fact is, Hashfast never kept their promises. They lied and had no intent on delivering miners on October 20th. They lied about giving us our refunds in BTC. They could not keep their December 31st delivery date. They could not keep their promise to deliver the MPP. I payed 60BTC for my miner (1 miner) and I will probably see nothing or very little of that back. PS. They made promises they new they couldn't keep and cost people millions of dollars. That is fraud and they deserve jail time. + 1000 and don't forget all the batch 2, 3 & 4 customers who did not receive a thing!!! Good point. In comparision we atleast got a unit even if months late and no mpp. Its more then nothing. |

You should also make a more regular bitcoin function needs. For example signing a message, verifying a signature, stuff like that.
Thanks for your suggestion. This component was written to use only the blockchain wallet api webservice functions. I think these features should be implemented in an extra php library. okay, was just a suggestion |

I hope this is in the right spot. I am an engineering student and am about to do a project for Student Professional Experience. I am going to develop my own USB miner. I bought these Maxim IC Chips off eBay. The data sheet on the chips can be found here. http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/73147/MAXIM/MAX3232CSE.htmlI hope these will work. I could use any advice other developers can give me. Also, maybe you could give me a rough idea of what each one will do for me. Thanks well depending on what your trying to build. You for sure wont be able to compete with asic chips, but you could try to get it to work with an alternative cryptocurrency. Like primecoin for example. |

I wont be satisfied until these guys go to jail
Jail? seems very harsh. I mean all they did was take money on preorders for a product they delivered months late. I mean bfl is still in business and they shipped over a year late |

Hi MineForeman
Will you be able to do anything with the new "Intel Galileo"?
Thats a good question +1 |
|
|
|
|
Has any one been able to install minepeon on the beaglebone black. I tried and it just doesnt boot up.
|
|
|
|
|
My idea would be to make logins using bitcoin address signature of via bitauth.
I would also say 2fa is a good add on
|

best price for bulk order! All in stock  You should try to organize a group buy so that people can get your bulk discount and they can mine profitably |

Hearing held and continued. Debtor to supplement motion by 7/10/14 unless a stipulation is reached. (related document(s): 68Motion to Amend filed by Hashfast Technologies LLC)Hearing scheduled for 07/11/2014 at 03:00 PM at San Francisco Courtroom 22 - Montali.(lp ) Modified on 7/7/2014 (lp). (Entered: 07/07/2014) What happened? I'm traveling starting tomorrow so I won't be able to listen to the court audio(s) easily. If someone wanted to spend a paragraph to describe it, thank you. +1 that would be nice. when you get back you should make a simple weekly newsletter to all hashfast creditors that just tells them the latest info. |

Tho probably useless at this point, Id ask the following,
Is it true you hired a 3rd party to create the pcb?
Is it true that they were unreliable and caused a majority of the delays?
Did hashfast originally intend to give full bitcoin refunds?
Was the mpp offered with the knowledge that you could not deliver the MPP in a reasonable timeframe?

oo okay, thanks for the info. Just disappointed no one has a mining distribution for the PI or beagle bone that supports all the asics cgminer or bfgminer does out of the box. For people like me who have never compiled anything but tried it becomes a huge pain.
If you would like to have support for specific ASIC hardware or ARM hardware, we do gladly accept donations of such or even contracted work requests for such. We also do reach out to the various ASIC hardware vendors, however (and as noted by nwoolls a time or two), they seem to prefer to push out mining hardware first, and worry about mining software later. So posting request for support of StarMiner on their particular hardware forum threads does help get the hardware vendors attention (which was the case for Zeus Miner for example). Happy and profitable mining to all! Sadly hashfast is going most likely bankrupt, so I dont think posting would do much. I would for sure consider donating if you got hashfast support in. Which as far as I am aware is more/less just adding a flag when compiling cgminer. If you need someone to test it I would ofcourse. |

Okay thanks, I tried to flash an sd card I have with the image but my pi turns on and gives me a steady red light with an occasional yellow light blink. I tried finding its IP on my network but cant seem to find anything.
There should be a series of lights like a NIC card would have near that red light if you have a proper and active network connection via the RJ-45 port on the Raspberry Pi. Sounds like you have either (1) a bad network cable, or (2) the Raspberry has a bad RJ-45 port. Try a different cable and see how that works which is the simpler of the two trouble shooting wise. I will give it another shot, but it isnt the ethernet cable. For future versions you should consider having it try to dedicate an IP. So for example it uses .132 and if not free it goes to the closes free one up. so if .133 is not free it would take .134 edit: seems to work now. Since it is running cgminer, it should support all hardware cgminer supports right? For example butterflylabs 60ghash asics, or even hashfast? One can change the network settings with wicd-curses for reference and assign a static IP address if that is desired. The reason for using DHCP is that not everyone uses a private class C network address (e.g., 192.168.x.y) on personal networks since there is also the private class B and private class A ranges as well. As for "other ASIC hardware support", these versions of cgminer are compiled specifically for Gridseed and Zeus Miner ASIC devices, and Scriptor FPGA devices. If one wanted to hand compile other ASIC hardware, it is possible for these to be used with StarMiner with the proper configuration and settings provided the API's are relatively current as well. However, at this time we (the "StarMiner crew") are limiting what we can support with what ASIC hardware units and ARM hardware platforms we have "on hand" to support with StarMiner accordingly. Happy and profitable mining to all! oo okay, thanks for the info.

Being a bit of a noob relating to linux and arm, I can just download the image and flash it to the beaglebone black or rasp pi? Also is there a list of supported hardware somewhere?
StarMiner is currently imaged only for a Raspberry Pi. We have a "StarMiner groupie" who plans on donating a set of CubieBoards (another ARM based system) for fulfill that request as well as to assist with long term support of that specific hardware. At this time though, the BeagleBone line is not currently support. As for supported hardware for the Raspberry Pi, you can find references to these on our SourceForge Discussion section here.
