Good luck getting them stable on a RaspberryPi. The Pi's USB is broken, not helped by the NIC hanging off the broken USB bus. It was designed for a keyboard and mouse, not running several Gigahashes of miners.
You'll need a USB2 hub, and most (maybe all?) of those don't provide enough power to run an Antminer U1. The Pi won't work with a USB3 hub.

I recently bought a BE Cube
There's your first problem.

Especially on an NVS300. You'd be better off mining on a pocket calculator, it'd probably be faster.
Well, actually, the NVS300 isn't even fast enough to run Windows Aero properly...

They're pretty rubbish units, and they're VERY fussy about the power supply they're used with.

Why ? We talk about cgminer here no ? I'm in the right place then 3.7.2 is no longer supported. You need to Google "sgminer" - it's the cgminer fork that still does GPU mining, and I must say has quite a few improvements compared to 3.7.2 which is pretty ancient now as far as mining software goes.

Electricites
Rule #1. Do NOT overload circuits.
Here in civilisation, we have real electricity. 240V with 30A per circuit, with most houses having a minimum of two circuits. The houses here have 100A supplies, which is 24kW. Good luck overloading with miners.

Using the 8-pin CPU connector can be an advantage, especially on multi-rail supplies. They tend to have a rail dedicated to the CPU connections that you couldn't use otherwise.
Don't listen to the muppet who says not to use it, he/she/it is clueless.

Hey Guys newbie here still. My powered usb hub I bought was not working right when I plugged in some of my BE. I had an antminer that was not running at the 1.6 it was advertised as. per a suggestion on the site my usb hub might not be putting enough power I looked at the website for the company that made it and right there on the page it said it is not for asic mining. so I returned it and the only beefed up powered usb port they had was a 28 port 4 amp. My question is will I be wasting tons of ports on this beast? I spent like $90 bucks on it. I do plan on building up my mining operation but not all at once just a miner here and there.
This thread is NOT the place for this question - try the Hardware section of the forum.

I see no problem using any of existing web/app servers. All of them can be secured properly
You totally miss my point.
|
|
|
What webserver software are you using? Do you have full control of it?
As if wizkid057 would openly transmit what software he was using. That's a big HACK ME sign if he did. Besides, I'm pretty sure he's written his own server software that hangs off the pool backend.

You can buy an Asus board with an E2-2000 APU on it. It has a HD7xxx GPU and a PCI-E slot.
|
|

yes that i knew but i remeber back in the day you could get into irq issues with cards on a pci board. depending on the hardware you were useing you may not of been able to use all the slots because of the irq.
IRQs haven't been an issue since the days of Pentium 3 machines and Windows 2000. So, about 15 years more or less.

Just checked there, and Eligius is 200TH faster than BTCGuild. Not seen that before!
|
|
|
The pool speed on the title is 800Th behind times....seen it running at 4800Th most of today.
|
|

I think you can set a donation percentage on Eligius, which goes towards development - Luke-Jr is part of the foundation, so basically Eligius is probably that pool. It's also 0% fee, and pretty damned stable.

Vapor-X what? Vapor-X cards go from from the ancient 5770 to R9 290X.

their money.

To be honest, with the idiotic decision to remove the newbie jail, I've found myself coming here less and less.
Then there's the two hacks in the past few months, and sticking to an ancient old forum software. Guess what? phpBB is free, supported, and probably can import the DB from this wheezy old crap.
I think the forum is pretty much dead. It just hasn't stopped twitching yet.

Use one of the many mutli-coin pools (like Wafflepool, Middlecoin, etc) that allow you to automatically mine the most profitable altcoin and then pay out in BTC.
I use Middlecoin with a R9 280X, and it pulls in 0.01BTC a day - it's about the same speed as a 7970. You will probably get half that.

Why not post this in Slush's thread, rather than filling the main pool forum with gibberish?
