Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon

[dmz241]

Can you elaborate I am new to linux. I know arch linux has the latest bfgminer that I can download but I don't know how.

New bfgminer: 4.1.0

Edited: http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/latest/

New: cgminer-4.3.5

I am soooo close to start doing pre releases of MinePeon 0.3.0...  would you mind waiting for a bit (or compiling your own)?  If you are really hungry for the newer versions I will put 0.3.0 aside and build/test them tonight though.

I am trying to put all of my efforts into 0.3.0.  Going fully embedded solves a lot of odd behaviour and reliability & stability is also rock steady.  The download is even going to be under 50 MB (compared to the current 480 MB).

Of course I can wait, but not bfgminer... 4.2.0... LOL

Neither cgminer... 4.4.0. 

[DIEMcoin]

Doe's minepeon work with the R-BOX?  Or is there a way to upgrade bfgminer to 4.2?

[tripppn]

Can someone help me out.  I want to use this to update bfgminer to 4.2 but don't know what to put into the comment/* fields

Hi again, Neil. Any news about the MinePeon 0.3.0?

[Hektek]

any plan of a release date of 0.3 ?

thanks in advance

best regards

I hate the new login screen, because of the little timeout the browser has, after today's update. You need to include an option to select 0/no timeout.


EDIT: Now I have all Minepeon's that keep asking to "Setup Your Account", I insert (again) the user and the password 2 times, I get the "Your account is Created, you can now login" message, I try to login with that same user & password and I get a error message "Username and password did not match". A reboot doesn't solve the problem.

Please take away this stupid new feature or give us the option to disable it, Neil.

Hey! Got my RPi up and kicking and I've been loving it, but I'm running into one glitch that you might be able to point me in the right direction for a solution...

I have my Peon running one Rockminer R-Box, so to enable support I did a command-line upgrade to BFGMiner 4.2.0, and seems to be running well except for that odd and intermittent Sick/Dead glitch that occasionally pops up, but a quick miner restart clears it out. In an attempt to automate this process, I decided to monitor the Peon with MuM from my server, which is already hosting a few old Saphire BEs and a couple of U1s. The trick is that I can't get MuM to detect the Peon AT ALL. I've been messing with the API settings for days, and I'm just stuck.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S rockminer:all --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,W:10.1.10.0/24 -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

My server with MuM is on 10.1.10.99, and has a second NIC at 10.1.10.199 (webserver interface), hence trusting the entire 10.1.10.0 subnet just in case the request is going out the other NIC. From everything I gather, this should be correct, but no communication. Zip. Nada.

I've also tried using this for testing: MultiMiner.Xgminer.Api.Client.exe 4028 10.1.10.202 (Peon is @ .202, of course)
I don't see any feedback from this tool either.

I just need a fresh set of eyes looking at this, and would appreciate any advice you could offer.
Yes, I've enabled donation, and enabled it shall stay. Your work on this project has been highly appreciated!

Hey guys new to minepeon. I am running 2 usb antminer u2 on minepeon and they seem to be hashing fine. I use cgminer to run them. I also have 2 dualminer usbs that I would like to run in scrypt mode. Now I know I cant do that from the gui but since minepeon is the gui on top of linux distro cant I run bfgminer through ssh in the back ground with the dualminer scrypts? If I can I need to update the bfgminer as 4.0+ supports the dual miner sticks. Can anyone tell me exactly how to update bfgminer to latest version and then run that through command line for the dual miner sticks?

Doe's minepeon work with the R-BOX?  Or is there a way to upgrade bfgminer to 4.2?

Ok guys. I JUST did this, so I'll post the commands I used (which I modified from the post @ http://minepeon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1151 specifically for the 4.2.0 release), so it's just Copy/Paste for you. BFG4.2.0 is running great for me, so this should get you through the process and on your way to Hashing Glory! (TM/Patent Pending).

Get Putty and SSH into your Peon. Once you're logged in, hit 0 to drop to shell and then run the following commands:

Code:

sudo su
wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/latest/bfgminer-4.2.0.txz
tar -xvf bfgminer-4.2.0.txz
cd bfgminer-4.2.0
./configure
make
mv /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer.old
cp bfgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer
exit
sudo systemctl restart miner

After the miner restart, I went ahead and rebooted the RPi just to be sure all was well, but that's just me and my tinfoil hat, making sure all was well from a cold boot.

Happy as a clam!

I hope this helps you through the process. It wasn't hard. just be patient with your RPi as it builds the new version of BFGMiner. It's not a supercomputer, so it takes about 5 minutes or so to get through the config/make steps.

Nice thread....

[mikerbiker6]

I noticed something odd.
I am running 3 yellowjackets on minepeon 2.4.6
But they show up as 5 yellowjackest (NF1) in minepeon:


Their combined hashrate is about what it should be.

[dmz241]

Just wanted information. I have bfgminer 4.2 but it doesnt accept the --scrypt option and if i start it without that option on my dualminer usbs it just doesnt run.

I have same issue with NF6 (one pcs). Cgminer restarts it quite often. After one day ID can jump up to 100.

Thanks for posting this.  Now that its been running for a couple days is it stable?  I was having issues with the miner dying on me after about 24 hours.

First I would like to apologise for not reading this post from start to the end.

But is it possible to add a proxy address in minepeon?

[MineForeman.com]

But is it possible to add a proxy address in minepeon?

You can with bfgminer.  If you go to miner settings and put "--http-port 8337" in your bfgminer startup settings then you can point other devices to your MinePeon.

I hate the new login screen, because of the little timeout the browser has, after today's update. You need to include an option to select 0/no timeout.


EDIT: Now I have all Minepeon's that keep asking to "Setup Your Account", I insert (again) the user and the password 2 times, I get the "Your account is Created, you can now login" message, I try to login with that same user & password and I get a error message "Username and password did not match". A reboot doesn't solve the problem.

Please take away this stupid new feature or give us the option to disable it, Neil.

Thanks for your kind help and support, Neil.

Sorry,did you manage to reset and go back to head?  There is a lot of stuff in there that does not work!  You should be on the 0.2.4 brach, if you;-

cd /opt/minepeon
git checkout 0.2.4

It should change you back (I am not in front of one at the moment, so that is from memory).

Ok, It worked, went back to original state, with bfgminer 3.10.0, but when I tried to git pull again minepeon, I got so many errors, that I prefer to make fresh SD's from scratch than copy/past them to this thread.

Do you have any idea when you'll have the new 0.3.0 version of Minepeon?
