How many days mining using Mineforeman.com's Minepeon [CLOSED]

[Polyatomic]

Rasberry Pi miners using minepeon , How long have you been able to mine WITHOUT a restart ?.

[Zanatos666]

Almost like clockwork I would have to restart my Pi every 2 and a half days. Finally got sick of it and just hooked up my Jalapeno to my desktop.

For those whose RPi's didn't go longer than 2 days, what were the problems?

My erupters are on order and won't be here before this poll closes...can't wait to try this out.

Without cooling, I saw problems with my Block Erupters after a couple of days.

This will be quite interesting to see.

I sort of assumed that because the original MinePeon (the first of the development Peon's) has an uptime of 6 months+ that everyone was in the same boat (does not need restarting, apart from updates and updates COME from that Peon, not go to).

Can I ask people to add why they reboot?

I'm also interested in this. I assumed MinePeon was a set-it-and-forget-it distro, but it seems a lot of people can't run them reliably. I'd love to hear why, and if they were isolated incidents.

A new hub seems to have sorted my issues of random failures for my Rasberry Pi on minepeon 2013-06-11. 72 hours stable.

I know right?  Most mystifying is that not-a-single-person asked me for help making it more reliable because of reboots (or anything else)!

I had a power outage at my house a few days ago, but prior to that I would have been at close to 3 weeks of uptime.  I have a USB hub attached with 5 USB miners.

I just setup my RPI with Minepeon 0.2.1 and have been running for more than 2 days without any issue.
My specs are RPI model B with a D-Link USB hub (DUB-H7) and 2 block erupters with a usb fan to keep them cool to the touch.

My Raspberry Pi (256 MBytes) with MinePeon 0.2.1 is very stable. But 2 days ago, when it launched again cgminer after the donation period, it could not access the 2 USB Block Erupters. They stayed with the green leds lighted and I had to restart the RPI to get them mining again. Both USB Gizmos have heatsinks "glued" to the ASIC IC and forced air from 2 fans. They don't go higher than 38ºC, but the Hardware Errors stay @ 0.9%.



I have at my work, another RPI with the last version of MinePeon that included cgminer 2.11.4, that still mined with CPU's, mining at a montruous 150KH/s for more than 30 days.

Excellent case for the Pi dude.

I mine using RasPi with 11 ztex quad boards (not using Minepeon, just a stripped down version of Raspbian), runs fine for weeks. And even then my uptime is only affected when i power it down to re-arrange cables.

Code:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uptime
 17:02:56 up 12 days,  2:31,  1 user,  load average: 0.47, 0.63, 0.58
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

Sounds like an excellent rig turtle83. What hub do you use ? .

no restart in July

with dlink DUB-H7 usb hubs.

Belkin F4U022v.

Had to add the following to /boot/cmdline.txt to get it to detect the ztexes.

Code:

dwc_otg.speed=1

One of the hubs powers the pi.

@1Pakis , what distro are you running on your Pi

[turtle83]

FYI:-

The 11th ztex was mining on my desktop when i took the pic.
The pi is mounted on a single stand-off -- not ideal....

Thats a mad rig , more hashing power  than a jalapeno. I have the same lowprofile heatsinks and fans , just not as many boards.
