Not if you have externally powered devices.
Thanks  I'll bear that in mind next time. I bought powered because I'd been reading that the pi is much stabler with them..... It can't hurt. But the question was whether or not it was necessary in order to run a Jalapeno on a Raspberry Pi, and then answer is that it's not. |

Ah, I misunderstood. Was the point that the original Jalapeno's be powered by the USB hub, being that they are only 3 watts or so? I guess a computer would have no problem with that? |

Just 3 watts? Really? That rocks if true... |

The original design was for 5w power draw, 500mA from two USB ports but since the chips use more power than they expected the jalapeño is now externally powered, mine draws 32w from the wall

Just 3 watts? Really? That rocks if true... I mean the Raspberry Pi is 3 watts (I read). It makes using it as a control center a no brainer. It helps the environment, lowers costs, increases profits, etc. |

R Pi is great. I have one running xbmc for watching movies stored on my unraid server. I would rather have it hooked up to a Jalapeno making coin. I have a April 4j 2013 order for a upgraded Jalapeno, Ir will prolly be months before it get it. I am considering getting some of the USB Block Erupters, if the price dropped a bit.

as a fellow pi user, they are great... but id drop the peon, arch is a pain, a normal rasp weezy and you can compile cgminer from git source hapily.. also worth looking at :- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76502.0which now runs happy on my pi, with spine polling Good install doc is available at :- http://n00blab.com/works fine on fpga's and asics  |

Oh That looks rather easy. What do you like about the DIY method vs the ready made MinePeon Image? |

Not having to use pacman for a start Arch Linux sux, and peon comes with cgminer 2.11  Prefer 3.1 or bfgminer myself  |

You inspired me Here's my duo Jala setup, pretty much a carbon copy of what you did: https://i.imgur.com/p8UmO8V.jpgrunning stable with 10.8 GHash @ 56.3W |

Great way to max out the RPi, most bang for the watts... |

Please solar power it, just to be the first and show it can be done with a little 50w panel...  A 50 watt panel would only be enough to power it during the day, and probably not the whole day either. I'd recommend a 200-300 watt panel, a deep-cycle battery around 80-100 amp-hours, and a charge controller - this way it could run 24/7 only on solar power, worst case scenario that battery could run it for at least a full 24 hours. how much would this setup cost?? and can i get the stuff at bitcoinstore? You can get a raspberry pi starter kit with bitcoins at bitcoinin.com. It costs 0.35 - 0.62 coins depending on whether you get just the raspberry pi or the kit. |

What awesome setups you both have! But then again, I'm quite afraid of the difficult rise... Must order an ASIC to stay in the mining game. |
