I'm trying to troubleshoot issues I'm having with MinePeon. Basically it will slow down to the point of not mining / responding, and must then be hard-reset. When this is occurring, even key-presses over SSH are painful slow. This seems to be related to the proxy it is pointed at being reset.
In order to troubleshoot this I'd like to basically disable all the MinePeon "stuff" and just reboot the Raspberry Pi and use bfgminer myself. Can anyone point out how to do this? Thanks!
sudo systemctl stop miner
sudo systemctl disable miner
sudo reboot
That'll reboot it without the miner starting up. Then feel free to use bfgminer at your leisure (/opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer). |

Some tips for those sending your boards in:- You are dealing with electronics, try to avoid static electricity and packing materials that could cause it.
- Please do not package your boards to survival a nuclear war. Seriously, I know courier services can rage hell on items shipped, but taping the tape to the tape which is wrapped around more tape is completely unnecessary and could do more harm than good.
- With the thought of the above statement in mind, this also do not mean, throw it in a box with no packaging at all.
- Last but not least, most of you (thus far) did a good job at putting which boards had which problems (etc), while some of you didn't put anything. Please be sure to put information with the boards.
All of the above will help things go smoother, as then the people completing said repairs won't have to take huge amounts of time to unbox, unpack, etc and can spend more time repairing.

 Blue LED Blue Fury - Actually the far left LED is blue, the right LED is red... using 2x 0805 LED's (blue & red). (Typically the left LED would be red and the right LED would be orange). (and yea, I did more than one, I was originally going to do this, but then got busy with some other things, did the one and well, started doing them all... I like the color blue... lol  ) how in the hell do you solder something that small? My eyes can barely see them. these aren't even the small ones |

Taking offers on:
ASIC 49-Port Hub w/USB Cable
15x Used ASIC Erupters, 2 of the 15 are over-clocked & have a blue LED. The overclocked units have been stable for over 2 months. All erupters will come in original packaging.
I would prefer to ship within the US.

There's something I can't understand: Tk1337 wrote on DBS forum : "The components got shipped today", So he has already ordered components from Mouser. Have I missed something? Why share some details with only some guys? Why the part number is stiill secret? Can you share ASAP part number with all of us?
I responded to your PM. Probably because at this stage it would be wise to test the modification and confirm it has resolved the problem prior to allowing everyone to go out and do it themselves. What would happen if people did the mod and that didn't fix the problem? It could very well make a bad problem a catastrophic problem. I for one would rather know that it's going to work, keen as I am to get hashing.
^ Bingo. We want to be 100% sure of everything so that the issue is taken care of... |

Tell ya what,I'll take you up on that offer.But,only to pick up my boards  I'm REALLY busy for the next 3 days with my customers (I'm self employed) & other stuff I already planned. PM me your phone # & we'll chat about it  I'm free this weekend......................or a little sooner if my boards are ready  You have a PM, jml25 is picking up his boards as well when they're ready.  I'll let you know when your boards get here and when they're ready to be picked up. |

Hey Guys.
The repairs are being done by one of the members of our group buy. His forum name is tk1337. I have spoken with him for an extensive time and i trust him. He has a lot of experience with this sort of thing as well as all the equipment required to do the job. By all means, if you feel up for doing the fix yourself please do, otherwise, send your boards to the address on the labels and it will happen nice and quick.
In terms of security, you all have this persons name and address on the mailing label too so we can go lynch mob him if things go wrong, though they won't. :-) I believe this is the best and fastest way for all our U.S. members to get their boards sorted out. Feel free to write to me if you have further concerns.
Cheers
Barntech
I live in Florida,across the coast,but I could drive over in case of an "emergency" Thanks Barntech for your follow thru & bobsag3 for helping as much as he has & thanks too tk1337 for helping pull our butts outta the fire Looking forward to the "Return of the Drillbits" As I told jml25 in PM, anyone in Florida that is near and wants to drive over, feel free to, just contact me, as I'm going to be pretty busy and I'd like to keep things orderly with a queue and what not. (& if you come over, Starbucks would be awesome! I'm not really a coffee person (more of a tea person), but I'm a sucker for peppermint mocha's from Starbucks around this time of year... and I'm definitely going to need the caffeine, haha) |

That looks like a single LED in a large housing, you would want a bi-color LED or technically you could replace it with two 0805 LED's, as there are 4 connections for the LED (pos/neg for red, pos/neg for orange). |

Are any of you out there particularly handy with a soldering iron and PCB modding? If so, write to me and you can help us try a few things out.
Shot you over a PM, I've got a good amount of tools & skill regarding PCB repair, esp SMD work. If I can get a hold of the components, I can probably assist in board repairs within the states, so there aren't further international shipping charges involved. |

I'm using 0.2.4.2 and somehow I upgraded BFGMiner to 3.6.0 . I was trying to upgrade it to 3.7.0 but I'm damned if I can remember how I did it, and my googlefu is weak today...
Neil, when can we get the new 3.7.0 version of bfgminer to git pull? Sorry to ask... but this time, I didn't used my usual sarcasm or even bold or gigantic letters... Neil may be busy; I went ahead and compiled 3.7.0 for MinePeon and made a pull request in github, so all Neil has to do is merge it and it will be available, just trying to help ya out Neil |

Sorry for the reply times on the tracking numbers, I passed out last night  . Most people should have either gotten an email with the tracking, or anyone who has PM'ed me has now been sent theirs. Just curious, I know I was on batch #2 (and my understanding is that batch #'s no longer matter since they all got shipped together), are you only doing tracking #'s for those who opt'd for expedited shipping? |

@Luke-Jr - Any releases with drillbit bitfury drivers coming?
I know the drillbit boards needed their own drivers aside from the bitfury drivers in CGMiner, but I would personally rather use BFGMiner as it just seems to be more stable on the RaspberryPi's, CGMiner seems to be having issues with libusb regarding timing lately, but I've never had an issue with BFGMiner.
If you need the drives being used in CGMiner let me know, happy to provide them.
I've still not had any interaction with Drillbit in a while... Most cgminer drivers are not really usable outside of cgminer, unfortunately. I could try to reverse engineer the code, but until I receive my sample unit to test with, it's difficult to write bug-free code. Plus, there's a possibility when Drillbit does finally contact me, they'll have some protocol documentation which would save a lot of time so I don't need to reverse engineer it. So overall, it makes more sense to just wait for Drillbit to follow through IMO. hmm, alright, I'll see if I can reach out to Barntech some, as most people have already received their Drillbit thumbs and all the boards have been mailed out (personally hoping to see mine Friday or Saturday). At the request of some others I made a MinePeon image with CGMiner compiled with the drillbit drivers and a few other drivers (apparently the drillbit drivers don't seem to play with with the bitfury drivers, can't say for sure yet, as I just had one person with some thumbs test the compile I made, I am shooting in the dark all the same). |

Hi Guys,
I am using tk1337’s ‘minepeon-0.2.3a-bfg-2gb-im1’ image, I am running my BFL 30gh and 10 block eruptors against the GHash.io pool.
I seem to be getting loads of hardware errors.
I know that the GHash.io pool has a minimum diff of 16, but I am seeing that the pool is accepting shares form BFL at XXX/512 diff, however nor really seeing much (except for errors) from the block eruptors.
Are there any settings I can change to request lower diff shares for the pool or other?
Cheers sla73
I'd recommend updating to MinePeon 0.2.4.1, I made that image awhile back and the primary reason for that image was to have BFGMiner as the default miner, which in the latest release of MinePeon BFGMiner is the default miner. EDIT: Side note, I use a BFL Jally (along side ASIC Erupters and Blue/Red Fury Miners) with GHash.io (all I use these days) and I haven't noticed any issues per-say relating to high hardware errors; However I will say, if you are using WiFi, try switching to ethernet for a bit and see how it does. Granted I know that sounds somewhat silly... |

With the current setup I've been mining 0.1/day, actually got things on auto-sell now... $100+ /day going into the bank account, slightly nice. Keep on going up BTC, keep on going up... Gonna be sweet once I get the boards in and running |
