[Minera v0.9.1] Your next mining dashboard - Antminer/CPUminer/CGminer/BFGminer

[madmartyk]

OK if I put and address into the settings page.  say xx.xx.xx.xx:12345

When it lists in the stats page like this.  As you can see minera sticks at http:// in the front of the address.  It's listed in the config file without the http://

Hello

For me with free power, it's more profitable to switch my 5chip gridseeds to dual mode from scrypt only.
I have gone and put the voltage to stock on 10 units, does minera support dual mining with the 5-chip gridseeds?

Thanks
Herb.

I hope to go from:

40 Mhash scrypt only

 to:

640 gighash sha-256 + 25 Mhash scrypt

may be more life left in these in dual or sha only mode.

Hello there,
Minera 0.3.5 is out!

* Added switcher instead checkbox
* Added export/import complete system settings
* Added save/load/share miner configs
* Fixed issue with cgminerStartupScript
* Updated BfGminer to 4.7.0 and CGminer to latest commit
* Added fixed header
* Many minor bug fixes

Some notes on sharing miner configs: first of all, as you can read in the settings page, POOL INFOS will never be shared, sharing a config requires to insert a description of the config, each config will be moderated and last as soon as I have some configs sent by you I'll start working on the public repository to look at them.

That said, as usual feedbacks are very welcome.

Have a great day!

Did you keep the cgminer-dmaxl-zeus with Gridseed support?

On page 66 i detailed how i did dualmining with Minera. You will need to recompile cgminer-dmaxl-zeus for gridseed, then you manually set an instance of cgminer for sha256 to start via rc.local (in minera dashboard settings, near the bottom), then you set a scrypt instance as usual on mineras dashboard.

only the scrypt instance will be visible on the dashboard, you can monitor the sha instance via the api, ssh, or the command window in dashboard (essentially built in ssh)

i might be getting my terms wrong, but i have 10x 5chip minis and i get 3.6Mh scrypt only, or 60Gh Sha + 2.4Mh scrypt in dual mode.

Can Minera control miners to mine specific pools?

E.g. 2 Gawminers, 1 mining LTC, 1 mining Doge.

Is it going to be the same setup as dual mining as what Axiste had done? (setting another instance of cgminer).

So I managed to enter the Minera on my PI, after doing the settings, i had it to reboot, and the PI does not boot. Removed and reinseted the SD card to no avail.

Now gonna try flashing the image on the SD card again.

[Axiste]

Minera dashboard only can monitor one mining instance, which means only 1 coin / pool at a time.

To mine 2 seperate coins or pools, you would do the same as my dual mining setup, obviously you would want to turn off auto detection of miners, and have each instance specify which miner on which usb port to use.


Strange that you could boot, change settings, then no longer boot... it didnt change IP's or something?I have my router set to provide a static address to the MAC address of my Pi so it is always where I want it via DHCP

OK if I put and address into the settings page.  say xx.xx.xx.xx:12345

When it lists in the stats page like this.  As you can see minera sticks at http:// in the front of the address.  It's listed in the config file without the http://

So, just tested and it's definitely the miner to add the http:// in front of any pool url that hasn't a protocol specified. So if you put as pool url "10.0.0.1" any miner will change it to http://10.0.0.1

But I repeat, this should be fine. Check your bitcoin node (xx.xx.xx.xx:12345), look at the logs or try to telnet it, I never played with solo mining but with Minera and a well configured bitcoin node it should work.

@Trimegistus I didn't touch cgminer-dmaxl binary file cause the author didn't change anything. (and of course it's still bugged imho)

Yeah, but I've been getting stable results ever since you released the first multi-miner version. I'll update and see what happens ;-)

Or just revert your install to 0.3.2 with "git checkout f46ca0c156329d01eee76c2ae8daf98543cb45a0"

michelem

how can i revert minera to 0.3.4? just in case.

i want to test 0.3.5 now, it has a lot change so i think knowing a way back will be nice.

thank you! and 0.3.5 seem works fine for me

[SilentH]

where can we see the submitted configs at?

[Axiste]

in a soon to be created page, as per michelems previous posts.

Carissimo Michelem,

Solo mining on minera is something you should implement, it adds an important feature to your front-end. Personally I would appreciate it a lot.  

Anyway, I found out that one module, just one module in a Gridseed Blade of mine is randomly reported dead by Minera (v. 0.3.4). I run 8 Gridseed Blades (80 chips) and 5 Gridseed 5 chips miners using CPUminer (only "Enable device auto detection" checked in miner settings with no extra options) and all working at a clock speed of 800Mhz.

Any ideas?

Ciao,
Marty

Ciao! Minera supports "solo mining" it doesn't need anything but a Bitcoin node server well configured to be used as pool server. Nothing more. If I find the time I'll add a simple tutorial on how to solo mine with Minera.

For your specific problem, really hard for me to find a solution, some hints: check the cpuminer logs, try to change the usb port, try to mine with that blade only (to see if it happens again, if it happens again the blade could have some issues), try to change to BFGminer

Good luck!

[marty1972]

Thanks michelem for your answer. So, basically scrypt solo mining with minera is possible, I just need to configure a sort of pool node, right?

Regarding my issue with cpuminer, I will try to use my blades alone and switching USB port. As you suggested, I will give BFGminer a try and will let you know the outcome.

Cheers,
Marty

I found a issue due to Minera 0.3.5 with Raspberry B+ ( New version with 4 USB Ports )

When i power off ( from minera's web page or SSH then poweroff or halt ), after 10 to 15 second, Pi will auto poweron again

How ever, I test 2014-06-20 img from raspberrypi.org, not having this issue, and i manually install minera 0.3.5 and still not having this issue.

I can't understand when you have the issue. But probably it's only an RPI config issue (wake up on lan?), nothing to do with Minera.

Now it's happens every time i try to shutdown the Pi no matter what IMG i use and the way i use ( from minera's UI or poweroff or halt ), and i test 6 of Raspberry Pi B+, it's all same! Is there anyone else use Raspberry Pi B+ here?

EDIT: Solved, i change a TF card and it won't happen again, old one is SanDisk 4G ( black, low-end ) , new one is SanDisk 8G ( red, high-speed )

I think it's an RPI B+ issue, please check:
