The PiMiner project was conceived as a way to turn a Raspberry Pi into a bitcoin mining host 'appliance' with integrated LCD.
The project scripts currently display the following info:
• Hashrate
• Error %
• Share data
• Pool address & user name
• Network difficulty
• Mining duration / Uptime
• Exchange rate via MtGox
Full tutorial available here:
http://learn.adafruit.com/piminer-raspberry-pi-bitcoin-miner
The tutorial contains information which should be helpful to anyone interested in mining with Raspberry Pi (even w/o an LCD, etc); including links to getting started with Pi, network setup, logging in via ssh, etc
Note: The tutorial example uses Block Erupter USBs, but minor software changes should allow use with any USB miner compatible with cgminer v3.1.1
New in v1.1:
• Added mining auto-start after boot (see tutorial for setup)
• Time format changed to dd:hh:mm
• Abbreviated large share count (ex. 12300 == "12k3")
• Revised error % calculation: 100 * HW / (diff1shares + HW)
• Added MtGox last, high, & low price (currency can be changed in PiMinerInfo.py)
• Removed cgminer data logging (was appending nohup.out)
• Misc. tutorial revisions/clarifications
Feel free to make suggestions as to what you'd like to see added, or additional details to include in the tutorial.
Also, If you build this project - please share pics of your setup!
