Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon

[MineForeman.com]

Are you going to do a upgrade to include cgminer 3.3.1

When it warrants it I will.  I cannot make a new release every time that there is a miner upgrade in a piece of software that is in MinePeon, I would literally doing 2-3 releases a day if I did.

"Stats" at upper black menu?

Never!  I am in the process of moving all of the relevant data there to the graphs page.

Just so I know though, what data there do you look at (I would not want to miss it).

how about to create a debian repo so you can supply updates for minepeon?

Does the miner on minepeon have to restart ~every 10 hours or so .

Nope, that is defiantly not normal behaviour

It might be a coincidence but the miner has just restarted when I login through putty after work or when I get up in the morning to check. Maybe its not getting enough power ? .

Yeah, power would be my guess, what are you using to power it?  (And why do you check with ssh?  I ask because I can include what you look at on the graphs page)

Wouldn't work, MinePeon runs Arch Linux not debian .

But yeah, a pacman repo (that's what Arch uses) is in the works.  The problem at the moment is that MinePeon is in heavy development and so much changes between releases package management would slow things down to much.

However if you want to update Arch you can by doing;-

sudo pacman -Syu

Just don't blame me if it breaks something.

Cheers for replying Neil

                                I'm Powering the pi with a 5 volt / 700mA Travel charger I had laying around. Is that enough for it. If not what would you recommend ?.
On the graphs page I cant see accepted shares etc. Im using minepeon 2013-06-11

That's more than enough, some of those travel adapters are quite shoddy though, have you got anything else to try with?  (I use one of those apple ones that came with my phone)

If you upgrade to 0.2.0 those stats are on the graph page.

Neil

P.S. Something is defiantly up at ozcoin, I did not receive a single hash from the Americas today .

oh sry, thougd its a modified raspbian (couldnt use it yet due to no hardware).
i agree that package management is a huge hassle

Very true!

I do love that [Mobile] option. With all the Graphs, it's horrible to see that page with a smart phone.

The new info in Graphs page lacks elapsed time (to see when cgminer/bfgminer started, validating that it indeed worked for you), the best share, the cgminer/bfgminer version in use and a first (or last) line with sum values for the guys who hate mathematics or who have many miners.

For instance:

Code:

Name	ID	Temp	MH/s	Accept	Reject	Error	Utility	Last Share Time
TOTAL   2               671.87  5873    4       50      4.62
AMU	0	0	335.95	2936	2	24	4.62	10:49:52
AMU	1	0	335.92	2937	2	26	4.62	10:50:17

As stated before by someone in this forum, it lacks also MinePeon's version.

UPDATE: At the Graphs page, as the "Update Time: Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:01:45 WEST" is in 24h format, it would be better to display the "Last Share Time" in same 24h format.

Also, with miner.php, we have options not seen anywhere else like:

Code:

Switch to	Enable	     Disable	    Remove
 [Pool 0]      [Pool 0]      [Pool 0]      [Pool 0]
 [Pool 1]      [Pool 1]      [Pool 1]      [Pool 1]
 [Pool 2]      [Pool 2]      [Pool 2]      [Pool 2]

Brazil, Greenland, Uruguay, and a few tiny islands. There's also a UTC-2:30, not sure which category that would fall under in the stats.

Also Nuuk in Greenland I suppose.

I've also stepped up to the plate and sent a donation to MineForeman, as he's both saved me some time and made me some money this past couple of weeks

Thanks for that by the way.

Neil

What I was wondering is whether a straight-up BTC donation would appear as donated hashing in your stats... I'm at UTC-2:30

(and thank YOU)

[Anon10W1z]

I would suggest you remove the bitcoin CPU mining and change it to litecoin CPU mining...

The only problem would be that you now have to have two separate input fields, one for CPU litecoin and one for ASIC/FPGA bitcoin.

Litecoin CPU mining using my own distro actually gave me 0.002 LTC in 10 hours of mining, whereas I got no shares via Bitcoin mining (also using my own distro - MinePeon didn't work for me)

CPU mining isn't supported in cgminer anymore. Also, it's not worth it.

I had not thought of that, I will see what I can do.  Do you want graphs on the mobile option?

elapsed time, the best share, the cgminer/bfgminer version, last line with sum values, MinePeon's version, Last Share Time" in same 24h format.

I will add those to my list (some are already on it).

Also, with miner.php, we have options not seen anywhere else like:

Code:

Switch to	Enable	     Disable	    Remove
 [Pool 0]      [Pool 0]      [Pool 0]      [Pool 0]
 [Pool 1]      [Pool 1]      [Pool 1]      [Pool 1]
 [Pool 2]      [Pool 2]      [Pool 2]      [Pool 2]

I will work something out like that too.

BTC donation would appear as donated hashing

No, I only did those stats because I was bored sitting on the phone on hold.

It does appear to have backfired on me though, the day before I released those stats I averaged 827.92 MH/s and after I released them a lot of people turned off their donate time and it dropped to a daily average of 212.79 MH/s.

No graphs on mobile option...

My graphs on the mobile option I mean graphs sized to fit on the mobile device, not the big ones that are on the graphs page.

I vote for mobile specific graphs. The reason is it is easy to spot something wrong right away visually. Thank you for your continued work on this project.

You're still getting 15 minutes a day from my rig on the US west coast, so maybe it is a problem ozcoin. I'm busy tonight, but I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know if I find anything.

Ok, I second that vote.

That's my assumption, people tend to give USA a hard time but I have had cause to visit several times and know from personal experience the average guy on the street is no different from anyone you would meet anywhere else in the world, I fail to believe that they all turned the donation off at the same time.  (The tourists you guys let out are another matter all together )
