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

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 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%. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fct1aic.dyndns.info%2FRPI%26Gizmos.jpg&t=665&c=Phj2ju4LdmUgRQ) 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. 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 ? .

FYI:- ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FNhha1HS.jpg&t=665&c=FqqVKhJxanUuiw) 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.
