What's wrong? Im using a raspberry pi 2 for mining

Thanks guys

What kind of devices are connected to it? Can we know your miner settings?

Edit: I got it working. This is what I did if you are curious.
All is well and running 4.9.1 now.

cd /tmp
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-4.9.1.tar.bz2
tar xvf cgminer-4.9.1.tar.bz2
cd cgminer-4.9.1
./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitfury
sudo make
sudo make install
STOPPED MINER RUNNING
cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/

Well done! Next time you can use also the build_miner.sh script, just open it, change the line where is the configure for cgminer (CGMINER_CONFIG) and run it as

Code:

./build_miner.sh cgminer

I think what is being asked, is what mining devices are connected to your raspberry pi 2.

Usually connected to the raspberry pi via a powered USB strip, examples would be an Antminer U2 or U3

This URL might be of help  http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-raspberry-pi-bitcoin-miner--cms-20353, but it describes setting up using the native bfgminer application running on Raspbian not Minera

Im new mining, what is exactly a "device"?
 i just want to start mining only with my raspberry :/

You can't mine only with a Raspberry, a PC or something like those, you need at least a USB ASIC device connected to start mine something. Years ago you could mine with a "regular" CPU like that in your PC (or perhaps in a Raspberry) but at this time CPU mining isn't profitable any more and softwares like CGminer doesn't support CPU mining any more.
So, go buy a mining device and then come back here

is there a way to manually update to the new version of BFGminer remotely?

[michelem]

is there a way to manually update to the new version of BFGminer remotely?

You need to be able to connect remotely via SSH into your Minera box, then just run the command:

Code:

cd /var/www/minera
./build_miner.sh bfgminer

Will tat version of bfg work with Zeus miners then?

I don't know, you should look at the commit log: https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/commits/bfgminer or ask in their thread.

But if you have Minera 0.4.0 the official Bfgminer binary builtin supports Zeus.

Hi there,

first - thank you for this great software!!! runs like a charm.

my question: is there a way to change the default http-port from 80 to something else?
i can't make a port-forwarding in my router on port 80 ...

thank you in advance

Yes of course, quite simple:

Code:

sudo vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 

Change:

Code:

server.port                 = 80

Run:

Code:

sudo  service lighttpd restart

Question: This sort of thing can be done via the terminal window in Minera - or do you need to ssh into Minera?

[michelem]

Yes you can do it via web terminal window too. You only need to be into your Raspberry, possibility are:

* SSH into the RPI
* Open web terminal window
* Connect keyboard and monitor to the RPI

Default user/pass are minera/minera

michelem - thank you very much. i will give it a try this evening when i am at home.
at the moment i use "MobileMinerApp" but it doesn't give me as much informations as minera itself

If you plan to expose your Minera to the public Internet, REMEMBER TO CHANGE each default password (system ones too)!!!

weblogin already changed
ssh will be changed after new setup

are there more i don't know about? ^^

In old versions of Minera there was also the "pi" user with default "raspberry" password, change and/or delete it. (You don't need that user anymore)
Then of course the "minera" system user password must be changed. (root password is not set)

hi, ok did everything :-)

User "pi" didn't exist
Changed password for user "minera"
User "root" wasn't able to login ... so i think there is no more further work here
disabled root-ssh-login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
for maximum security i changed the ssh port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ... well .. don't know if its necessary or not - but better for sure

Edited config, restarted service - works :-)

Will Minera run on the new Raspberry PI 2? Will it also run the Bitmain u3?

[FreeFelix]

Runs the U3 very fine on a B+ - but cannot get it working on Pi 2.

Does not boot up at all

[GrrOucH]

Are there plans to make a RPI2 version?. Also I have forgotten what the ssh login is for the RPI. Can someone tell me what the default is pleze. Thanks.
