Hi, Guys, As you all know,
http://www.lateralfactory.com/scripta/ is very good.
As Gridseed G-Blade becomes scrypt mining main stream, scrypta has not updated too much to support the G-Blade and there are a few bugs which stops us from mining with Raspberry Pi.
We at minereu.com have done some research and have put together this little script that would help you mine happily with G-Blade .
Improvements merged from other people:
1, cgminer update: cgminer was able to mine , but can not report correct hash rate on interface. when you attach to it with screen -x, you can't see correct hash rate for G-Blade. also, the API interface is not supporting Scrypt very well some of the stats are not reflected correctly.
Credit to
https://github.com/jmordica as we forked his version and to
https://github.com/mox235 as we merged his API fix so scripta can correctly report hash rate.
2, scrypta update:
credit to
https://github.com/mox235 because we merged his update to support detailed configuration from scrypta for G-Blade miner
3, Raspberry pi hanging /stuck bug: for those of you who try to mine with cgminer, it hangs after a little while or few hours. this is due to a memory paging issue. and we adopted a workaround to fix it.
4, a bash script that setup your existing pi without you have to download a image . just use following command to run the script on your pi:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MinerEU/raspberry-pi-setup/master/setup-pi.sh|bash
5, automatically start mining when your power is on Pi . (Scrypta already support this, we just modified a little bit on the start script)
If you have any thing to feedback to us, please just comment on this thread.
BTW, if you are running a PC with Debian/Ubuntu, the script will try to download cgminer and compile it for your OS. so it will also work for PC.
How to use:
1, run this script and wait for it to finish. once it is done , you should be able to connect to your pi through
https://ipaddress2, login with password: scripta
3, Pools and workers are predefined as MinerEU's test values, please change it to your own and save and then restart.
Of course, if you are kind enough to run a clean install and provide an image for everyone to download that would be very nice of you.
