Sweet, waiting for my new pi to come. I just built bfgminer on my ubuntu box with the needed libmicrohttpd built in to run my new blade. Took way too damm long to figure out how to do it, but it is up and mining now. Going to give minepeon a try with the blades when the new pi arrives

I know this probably isn't the best place to ask, but are there any USB plug n play displays that can be used with the Pi?  Found a 3.5" car display and the displays on rasppilcd.com but I'm looking for something closer to the 3.5" that already is USB.  Feel free to shoot me a PM rather than reply on here.

While I'm sure one could be found, the issue would more than likely be drivers... (btw, rasppilcd.com doesn't seem to work for me?)

[tk1337]

Neil, do you have a BeagleBoard at your disposal? Just curious as I'm considering buying one soon.

I actually have 2 now, the port is already in the works to see if I can help out some of those KnC miners.

Neil:

When can we have BFGMiner 3.4.0 for git pull it to 0.2.4 pr2?

[yxt]

hi Neil

The version display in the webgui still shows "MinePeon Version: MinePeon 0.2.4 pr2"

Thanks

hi Neil

Thanks

I noticed that once I released it, if you;-

cd /opt/minepeon
git pull

It will fix it.

I can't seem to remember what the commands were to update bfgminer, any care to enlighten me? I would like to update to 3.4.0 because I have OCD

If you do a git pull as mentioned above bfgminer latest is in there already.

If you want to compile it yourself...

Code:

git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer
cd bfgminer
sudo ./autogen.sh
sudo ./configure
make
mv bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin

* on the mv bfgminer, make sure you're just moving the executable, not the folder, (ie: make sure you're still in the bfgminer folder).


Edit: (Or listen to Neil and do a git pull... he was 3sec faster at me in response, lol )

I just got 0.2.4 running with my blade using bfgminer as a statum proxy using the -http-port option in the miner startup settings. Below is what mine looks like, I am just running a blade with this. On the blade you just point it to your minepeon ip address. Hope that this helps someone looking to do the same.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer --http-port 8330 -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

Just edit the /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

Code:

"http-port": 8330

Edit:
 
This is the default miner.conf:

Code:

{
    "algo": "c",
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-port": "4028",
    "expiry": "120",
    "hotplug": "5",
    "log": "5",
    "no-pool-disable": true,
    "queue": "1",
    "scan-time": "60",
    "shares": "0",
    "kernel-path": "\/opt\/minepeon\/bin",
    "api-allow": "W:0\/0",
    "pools": [
        {
            "url": "stratum.btcguild.com:3333",
            "user": "MinePeon_Donate",
            "pass": "MinePeon_Donate"
        },
        {
            "url": "pool.50btc.com:8332",
            "user": "neil@mineforeman.com",
            "pass": "Donate"
        },
        {
            "url": "us.ozco.in:3333",
            "user": "minepeon.donate",
            "pass": "donate"
        }
    ]
}

You would add it in like so:

Code:

{
    "algo": "c",
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-port": "4028",
    "http-port": 8330,
    "expiry": "120",
    "hotplug": "5",
    "log": "5",
    "no-pool-disable": true,
    "queue": "1",
    "scan-time": "60",
    "shares": "0",
    "kernel-path": "\/opt\/minepeon\/bin",
    "api-allow": "W:0\/0",
    "pools": [
        {
            "url": "stratum.btcguild.com:3333",
            "user": "MinePeon_Donate",
            "pass": "MinePeon_Donate"
        },
        {
            "url": "pool.50btc.com:8332",
            "user": "neil@mineforeman.com",
            "pass": "Donate"
        },
        {
            "url": "us.ozco.in:3333",
            "user": "minepeon.donate",
            "pass": "donate"
        }
    ]
}

        }
    ]
}

Any advantage to adding it the miner.conf file vs passing it though the web GUI?

[tk1337]

not really, it's just cleaner to keep all the settings in a single file.

Ok, I tried your method, compiling bfgminer in my RPI's and it worked! Thanks. I'm using now bfgminer 3.4.0 without a git pull...  

Now, the only problem to solve is how to use the Bitfury miner via SPI/GPIO...

[teletobi]

I can't get 0.2.4 to run on my PasPi.
I tried two different SD Cards, about five Installations and made a new Download from source forge, but Minepeon won't show up in my Router nor in the Browser.
0.2.3 is running fine with my USB Sticks, but in some Days I'll get some BFs. Can I upgrade my running 0.2.3 to the BFs? Or anything to get 0.2.4 running?
I wanted to try the PR2, but couldn't find the link anymore...

[eman5oh]

You could plug a monitor into the pi and see if it booting the image and what it has for an ip.

[teletobi]

Unluckily I don't have a Monitor :-(
I only have a Laptop and ssh in when needed.

[Pentel]

Is there a step by step guide for noob's?
I found this http://www.raspians.com/full-guide-to-minepeon/
But don't really follower...

EDIT:  It's okay, I found one!
