Can anyone tell me if these need to be plugged in to a computer to mine. If i can use the computer to set it up and leave it mining by itself that would be great
I would suggest you run the proxy on a raspberry pi instead. Runs great 24/7. This way you dont have to keep your PC up all the time. I tried Minepeon with a Raspberry and my rejected share rate was significantly higher. I think if you use bfgminer and Raspian it might work better(?). I dunno, for me there were problems using anything other than Slush's proxy, something to do with long poll support and the cubes, even bfgminer as proxy on PC wasn't allowing long poll support. Fwiw, you might want to check the rejected shares in the cube webUI. I run it with bfgminer as proxy on raspbian. It turns out to be run fine for me. The rejected shares stay around 0.03% all the time. Were you able to get static IP working on Raspian without using wifi? On MinePeon it's all messed up, I can only get static IP to work with a mini wifi adapter. I have a second Rpi kicking around and want to use it, but I don't want to buy another WiFi adapter, considering Raspian with BFGminer if the static ip setup works. Also, is it stable 24/7? |

I am not sure on this. My router automatically assign ip to devices statically. I have tried different OS, reformat, reboot on the same device but I got back the same ip regardless. You should tried it out first. I previously run 20x USB Block Erupter 24/7 on 2 rpi for 5 months without any problem. I also have another rpi running 5 Red Fury and another for a Cube. So far has been running for weeks without problem. |

So tempted to buy another damn cube lol... |

I have no other choice of exchange but Coinbase and I have to wait a week for 0.05 BTC. lol... Also, you can't believe that I actually have to rework the whole damn house electricity wiring and network for this 1 damn cube. Definitely need another router and a higher amp fuse.  |

What Wifi device are you using for these? I'm in the market for one, too! |

I was already waiting for Coinbase to credit the BTC I bought. I just can't understand why it takes them two days after the money is out if my account , 5 days total. I'll be buying one Monday night.

Just keep in mind, you gotta go into settings and tell it to automatically connect and you need to add some setting code into the devices thing. It's been a while, but there are guides online for configuring. One thing they won't tell you is give it some time to warm up, mine takes 30 seconds or so to automatically connect and grab it's assigned IP, but it never fails and it's steady. When I first got it I thought I was doing something wrong, or thought it wouldn't connect automatically, in the end I just wasn't giving it enough time... |

Not sure who you are asking, but I was using a bridged WiFi connection on a laptop and the network got too congested, or it basically started acting shitty... Anyways, I got a TPLink powerline kit for like $40, router to wall on one end, wall to switch on the other; works awesome, cheap, steady, good speed, and I don't need to mess with any long wires. |

Yes, this one looks pretty good. I had my cube in my living room for a long. I want to move it to my basement but do not have a direct link to Ethernet port there for internet. |

I thought of getting one of these to ease the job as well but arent they suppose to run on the same circuit? |

I'm in an apartment, it's a 1br but I've got about 10 breaker switches in my utility closet. I've got these things on separate breakers on opposite sides of the main room and it still works. It's a gamble worth taking, just buy from a seller that will allow return, easy enough to explain if it doesn't work with your wiring. I thought the same thing but decided to give it a shot, glad I did, thing works like magic! |
