Hey guys new to minepeon. I am running 2 usb antminer u2 on minepeon and they seem to be hashing fine. I use cgminer to run them. I also have 2 dualminer usbs that I would like to run in scrypt mode. Now I know I cant do that from the gui but since minepeon is the gui on top of linux distro cant I run bfgminer through ssh in the back ground with the dualminer scrypts? If I can I need to update the bfgminer as 4.0+ supports the dual miner sticks. Can anyone tell me exactly how to update bfgminer to latest version and then run that through command line for the dual miner sticks?
Doe's minepeon work with the R-BOX? Or is there a way to upgrade bfgminer to 4.2?
Ok guys. I JUST did this, so I'll post the commands I used (which I modified from the post @
http://minepeon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1151 specifically for the 4.2.0 release), so it's just Copy/Paste for you. BFG4.2.0 is running great for me, so this should get you through the process and on your way to Hashing Glory! (TM/Patent Pending).
Get Putty and SSH into your Peon. Once you're logged in, hit 0 to drop to shell and then run the following commands:
sudo su
wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/latest/bfgminer-4.2.0.txz
tar -xvf bfgminer-4.2.0.txz
cd bfgminer-4.2.0
./configure
make
mv /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer.old
cp bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer
exit
sudo systemctl restart miner
After the miner restart, I went ahead and rebooted the RPi just to be sure all was well, but that's just me and my tinfoil hat, making sure all was well from a cold boot.
Happy as a clam!
I hope this helps you through the process. It wasn't hard. just be patient with your RPi as it builds the new version of BFGMiner. It's not a supercomputer, so it takes about 5 minutes or so to get through the config/make steps.
So I followed these instructions but my rock miner won't start. What do you have in the settings page?
