ANTMINER/RPI/CGMINER

[phoenixsilverbird]

I am interested in running 4 antminer u1 on my raspberry pi.
It states that they require CGminer, and a certain driver.

Please can somebody explain how I can set up the special cgminer version for these found here: https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/cgminer

The driver I can handle, but I have no clue how to install this CGminer on RPI. If anyone can help, I'm a newbie.

Thanks!

The antminers have to run on the tplink router that's included with them and the software is built in. There is no point trying to build the software yourself to run on anything else.

Cancel that. I didn't see it was the U1 as Nwoolls just pointed out.

The AntMiner U1?

[phoenixsilverbird]

Yes, 4 of the antminer U1.

How can I make them work with rPi?

i am also interested in this, i wait for my U1:s to arrive so i cant try it myself.

try download cgminer from this link using GIT:
https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer

after that, try to compile it youself, what i have heard there is not so big changes in this forked version of cgminer so hopefully this will work.

Whew! I have one coming this week and thought I missed some special hardware. Thanks for clearing that up

From what I've heard recently, I might not even break even if I buy and mine with the A1s

There is absolutely no hardware that you can purchase today and receive within a week that will break even in the BTC paid for it (and AFAIK never has been as far as ASICs are concerned).

FWIW, my October KNC Saturn has returned and then some!!  13BTC and counting.

Edit:  Reread and you may be correct.  I always buy stuff in fiat then convert to BTC.  So if BTC was $200 at purchase, then no it has probably not returned BTC.

I also said hardware that you can buy now, that ships now. Not hardware that you wait and see what the difficulty is when you receive it, if you receive it.
