Hi all can anyone point me in the right direction on how a adjust the clockspeed in Bfgminer. I have it running a rockminer r-box2 100ghs but the speed is set to 270 but I know I can run it at 350.

when i go into settings to change it i says to use "unsafe:n" to overclock other than just typing 350:n and pressing enter whilst on the same screen
 I can not see any other way to do it.  I am losing a lot of hashing power as at the moment it is only averaging at 60ghs and not the 120ghs i know it can.

Hi Ive just managed to get my rockbox 100ghs running on bfgminer and I had to check the device by going to terminal and typing,

 lsusb this showed the device was being seen then run bfgminer

 hit M then + and type "all"

 then it found the rockminer so hopefully it will find yours as well.

once you have found it hit s then w to write config and it should remember these settings.

hope it helps as I have just spent 2 days learning how to install things on the rpi having never had one before.

As for friends sending me Coins to test my wallet, none of the even know what bitcoins are lol. I'm sure I have set everything up ok so when the R-box is delivered I will find out.

On a side note is the R-box @ 100-110ghs acceptable as an entry level miner or will I struggle to make an impact

Ahh, then post your wallet address. I will send some coin to you

Sorry I've not got back to you Zich, Ive taken delivery of the R-box and I now have it running.(I Think)

 I have had it running for about half an hour and I am getting 115gh/15s running at 320mhz. Obviously it will take a while to acru any thing but like I said I think its working. I will post again if I have any problems buy thank you for your help once again.

Thanks Zich I think I'll go with the laptop to start purely because I got the Rpi as a media player and I'm not totally convinced I know how to run/install programs on it yet.
( on to do list)

Thank you I was thinking of wireless just because I am planning on putting the system in my loft but I can use network plugs if wired is best.

Hi Guys, I've been flicking through some of the posts on here today trying to understand as much as I can. I have a few questions If you don't mind answering for me that will hopefully help me settle down and get on with my soon to be delivered Rockminer R-box 2.

Question 1. I have set up my Wallets both online and offline and I'm looking to join Slush's pool but is there a miner that will allow me to use my
 laptop cpu/gpu to test i have got my addresses working ok before the R-box is delivered.

Question 2. I have a spare laptop to use but do you think I would be better off using my Raspberry pi. ( I'm not to worried about power usage but it's clear the Pi would mean less heat and extra things running.

Question 3. Is there a better suited pool for me to mine using the R-box or will it be sufficient within that Pool.

question 4. Finally a simple one, once set up with everything needed to mine is it preferable to use a wired connection or is wireless just as good once the blockchain has been downloaded.


Thanks for any answers you can give, I hope to become an active member both here and the Mining scene.
