We need some more hash power.
The Bitminter hashrate is falling behind the BTC/USD exchange rate.
I should be mining 2.4Ghs here soon. |

Mining on OpenWRT on a cheap router is WAY easier than messing about with a Pi.
Cheaper, too, as your router comes with USB that works, gigabit network, PSU that works, wifi that works...
I use a TPLink TL-WDR3600. It's been perfect.
Well, I wana mine with a Pi, so... |

just for testing turn encryption off on your router and Pi see if it will connect that way if so then make sure you match protocols for enycption
also do there devices connect to the router?
Yes other devices connect to the router and I "think" I know what's wrong... on he settings page or the connection. It has WPA preselected, when I choose WEP and F10 to save. I try the connection aain and it mentions I think somethin about a WPA profile. So I go back in to edit connection and lo n behold, WPA is selected like I never even chose WEP. |

Ok, so I got it hooked up wired, went in SSH and got all this pretty stuff... An ARM arch linux-based mining platform, designed
for ARM microcomputers.

Followed everything the guides say, the two I'm reading from got my wirless net to show in the available list but it gets to obtaining IP then says not connected. Anybody got a guide for dummies on this thing ? |

(It is also mentioned there that RPi has a 49-device limit).
That works out perfect for me since I plan on 32 usin two 20 port hubs with 4 fans each. I would try a 49 port hub bu no easy way to wall mount where as the 20 port hubs I got my eye on are easily mounted. |
|
|
|
I finally setup 3x 49 port hubs each one has about 40 -42 sticks

Why are you shitting up the BitMinter pool thread with this off-topic bullshit? FFS! This is not the place for it, you attention-starved dimwit!! Keep your huge fucking pictures in the "Pictures of your Rig" thread, idiot. Attitude much ! |

Speaking of your stick issue, I would be usin gan rPi, how many sticks do you think I could used on a model b 512mb rPi ?
I was thinking of 32, usin two of those 20 port hubs we talked about. Four ports on each hub would be used for fans in the 4 corners leaving 16 slots each hub for 32 in all and roughly 10.6Ghs until I saved the apital for bitfurys which would then put me at 70.Ghs assuming each bitfury runs at 2.2. Either way it'd be a lon damn while before I even got to that poin considering best case scenario they go or $100 a piece which would total 3.2g's for all of them lol.
Not sure but 32 sounds possible. as for the blue/red fury super sticks wait for them as of yesterday lots of issues running them I'd like to think 32 is possible with the rPi bein powered under it's own 1500ma wall outlet and then the upgraded bricks you mentioned for the hubs. As for the fury's, like I said, even if I got em now I would need $3,200 I don't have and that's assuming best case pricing of $100 each which is why I plan on sticking with the regular 333 asics for a while. Even if some would say it's pointless, who cares, with the setup in mind it would work for me given suspected power cpnsumption compared to those who run full hog on their computers which would run 3-4 times the power I would. |

OIC
so those are actually 2x 10 port devices
I think you are going to have to sacrifice one of them for your wireless ..... or daisy chain one from the other - why not just use the wired ethernet on the RPi ?
Well this is what I was thinking which should work. 1st rPi port: Wireless Edimax thing. 2nd rPi port: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200965093125?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Then in that splitter I can add the two USB cables form hat hub, and as you said which I confirmed a few minutes ago. It's actually a 2 x 10 port hub setup. As for wired ether, I just don't want to use more cables than I need to... my room already looks like a noc cener with wires lol. |

Pool hopping seems to be mostly dead now. It was based on switching pool when you could tell in advance that payouts were going to be low in your current pool. It worked very well with pools using the proportional reward model, and somewhat less effectively with Slush's score based model. The point is that you can tell in advance with those reward models when low payouts are coming. With PPLNS you can't tell in advance what future payouts will be. Trying to pool hop based on payouts from the past does not work. Thinking past luck influences future luck is called gambler's fallacy. It does not work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_fallacyFrom what I can tell, usin your model... the best way to increas payouts is to as Tim Allen says, get More Power ! lol |

...i but it takes two USB ports to interface. ...
WHAT? post a link to this thing please 20 port hub on eBay, I've talked to a few people that say it works fine with the Pi iff you get a better brick for it. You can't see it from the imagges listed in the listin bu it interfaces with two USB cables. I assume you could get by with one but I wouldnt know. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151155337245?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1188wt_1170As for powering the Pi, I'm gonna be using an wall charger thats 1500ma. |

I already have a powerd hub in mind I want to use that works with the Pi but it takes two USB ports to interface. I was thinking o using a y splitter on one of the rPi ports and the other or the wifi thing hence this question.
|
|
|
|
|
If I need three USB ports and the rPi only has 2, can I use a splitter on one o the rPi ports ?
Basically it's one port for a wifi thing and two ports needed or a hub setup.

you use 1 brick at TIME . that hub is a 20 stick hub. THE OEM 90 watt brick is 20 volts and 4.5 amps. the hub converts the 20 volts to 5 volts.
most dc to dc converters are 80%. so the 90 watt oem brick only has 90 x .8 = 72 real watts the 20 sticks pull about 2.5 -3 watts constantly or 60 watts . to run gear 24 /7/365 80% of max is a safe number... so 80% of the 72 real watts is 57.6 watts. This means that the oem brick can safely deliver 57.6 watts under 'perfect' conditions. since your 20 sticks may pull up to 60 watts the oem brick is short just a little.. but the brick I pointed out is 135 watts with the jack an exact match.
So 135 x 80% = 108 real watts at 5 volts then 80% of that is 86.4 watts which is over and above the 60 watts needed.
So the tock brick is just a paper weiht then, I thought you meant you used both bricks lol. I'm still lost in the math on the replacement brick, I thouht you always went by the amperage and since 1 amp is 1000ma / 2 ASIC's since each one pulls approx 500ma then the total advertised amps of the replacement brick would do 13 ASIC sicks. Lenovo 45N0058 135W 20V 6.75A Even then, the amperage on the stock is 4.5 which would be 7 sticks at 500ma each. I know I'm probably missing something here but I've always seen people discuss the amperae as what matters. I just dont wana spend money on something to litterally have it blow up on me. I've already invested just under $200 and I don't even have my hub yet, as far as asics go. I could only afford 4 to start off. okay that 20 port hub can not run 20 sticks with the oem power brick. this is a fact as I own the hub and have tested it with the 20 ports and the oem brick. if you have this hub just run 14 to 16 sticks and you will be fine. I know the OEM brick wont run full 20, so I do know thatt yes I will need the brick you specified. Either way I will need to use all 20 port even though 4 of them will be used by fans and the other 16 ASICs. Sorry if I got on your nerves... I just cant afford to burn something out even if that something is as little as $20. What's with the string of bad luck the past few days? I'm starting to feel bad for not switching to another pool and instead staying for the Mint Race.
What's this bad luck everyone keeps talkin about, with pools nothins ever guaranteed. |

Seems today was the worst luck.  What happned ? |

You should make a post of taken numbers or people to reference or at the very least start a new topc for every giveaway.

What do you mean with n' and ? Your using both bricks on that hub at the same ? How's that work since AFAIK, that hubs got only the one power inout, can you post some pics of your setup ? Also, how do you find that hub works out or you ? Like does it ryn well / do the job ok ? Thx for those links, I miht have missed it but whats the v / amp info on that brick ?Best I can tell using both bricks would power 22 ASIC's doesnt leave much for headroom, maybe try two lenovos instead ? |

Have patience, and don't stare at the screen waiting for blocks - it causes bad luck  and eyesight ;-p Still lookin for that brick answer to my previously posted reply above if anyone can help ;-) |
