looking for linux help / node / pool / misc

[cavaliersrus]

sorry if this is in wrong area a mod please move this thank you

hey guys im looking for some help ive been mining for a while now
i have 4 antminer s1's
i have 1 antminer s2
i have 2 gridseed 5chip miners only scrypt
i have 4 gekkoscience compac miners these are running on a raspberry pi
i am also mining x11 on 2 computers one is running pimp with 2 older video cards
the other computer is running windows 7 with my r9 380

what im looking for is a single computer that i can control them from

i know my raspberry pi does not have enough storage for a full node also what is good about running a full node at your house

i do have a whole lot of older computers that i can install linux on and was hoping to start my own pool for my self and maybe for others to join

im also looking into a way to control my gridseeds and my compacs on 1 thing where it starts automatically

sorry for asking for alot but i do not know much about linux

i have tons of hard drives to use for this and alot of older computers

if your able to help please let me know where to start not looking to rush into this

thank you for your time

The type of functionality you're explaining is a server-client setup. The mining hardware will be running on the servers, which can be opened up for SSH login from a client. You can then connect to any of your machines via SSH and control them from one terminal.

This can be done using raspberry pi + external HDD. I'll gather some links for you.

Here: http://getminera.com/ <- this would be the dashboard

thats an example with an antminer s5, If you made your own pool, you would need a server I think you can follow this link: http://blockgen.net/novices-guide-to-setting-up-a-crypto-currency-mining-pool/

yea im running minera on the pi right now

Look into minepeon and there are many guides for raspbian too related to bitcoin mining.

what i have been doing is because i rent my rigs out on mining rig rentals website ive been useing it to manage my antminers to change servers but ive been toying around with making a pool and setting up a very low fee on it

just toying with ideas right now cause i might be getting rid of my antminer s1's but what is the point of running a node at my home do you know ?

I mean.. do not set a pool unless you are gonna study for 1 year to get all the technical knowledge to do it because you are messing around with peoples money and time. You can try CK/Kano pool that its like solo and its really low fee and they know what they are doing. Be careful.

sorry for lack in reply but i have been busy with my back issues sometimes its a pain to get at my computer

i think right now what i am wanting to do is get a normal linux install onto my raspberry pi

and get it setup to automatically start my gekko science compacs and my gridseeds up and running

any ideas on how to accomplish this ?

As far as a pool goes, use p2pool.  It helps to eliminate concentration of miners.

Here's a guide for your first question;

ok just tried something and it seems to work

i use my raspberry pi to run my gekko science sticks they run under minera on boot
i ssh'd into my pi and installed cgminer for gridseed and then ran the ./cgminer and everything

it works now my next question would be is there a way to automate this ?

You can modify your rc.local to include startup scripts
