1  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Multi pool stratum proxy - how to do it? on: December 14, 2013, 01:19:01 AM
Hi, is there a way to have a stratum proxy server for multi pool mining? The idea is to have one place where I could specify the pool (with user/password) and not have to reconfigure each miner in order to switch pools (or coins) - I could just switch it in the proxy and all my miners would start working for the new pool.
2  Bitcoin / Mining support / Why Raspberry Pi mines slower than an x86 PC? on: November 23, 2013, 06:59:46 AM
I have one BFL Single that I am using to mine. I have tried various computers, including a Raspberry Pi, but for some reason the Raspberry gets a lower hashrate than a PC that is even slower.
Here's the graph of my hashrate, divided into sections based on the controller. The software is BFGMiner 3.6.0


1 - Laptop: Turion64 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, WindowsXP 32bit
2 - Raspberry Pi model B, Raspbian Wheezy. Not overclocked.
3 - PC: Athlon XP 2000+, 1GB RAM, Windows 2003 32bit
4 - Raspberry Pi again.
5 - PC: Cyrix MediaGX 233MHz, 64MB RAM, Debian Wheezy i486 (lowest power consuming computer I have other than the Raspberry)

As you see, all three PCs get about the same hash rate (and the hashrate is quite even), but the Raspberry Pi is slower (and the hashrate varies quite a lot) even though it is faster than the 233MHz PC (compiling BFGMiner took much longer on that PC than on the Raspberry Pi). All devices, except #3 were connected to the same hub with the same cables and the same Ethernet over Powerline adapter.

So, any reason why x86 seems to be a better choice for BFGMiner than the Raspberry?
3  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Remote bitcoind on: September 10, 2013, 07:32:50 PM
Hi, is there a way to run bitcoind on a remote machine (in my case it would be a Linux VM), but have a local frontend to access it?
