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

Hello, i am a complete N00B in linux and all of that stuff, but it was very easy setting everything up and now everything is up an running and works perfectly! one thing though, i would like minera to connect to my home WiFi on each boot rather then using an ethernet cable, can somebody please tell me how can i do that? also, it would be nice if minera could have an option to use a specific miner for a group of devices but a different miner for a different group of devices, because usually the G-Blade devices are mining at vardiff 256 and gridseed mini devices mine on vardiff 64,if you run one miner for all devices the g-blades decide that they use vardiff 256 but the productivity of the mini miners goes down at this vardiff, less shares are submitted.

For multiple miners there isn't any support but you can always run yours manually in the same Minera instance.

Thanks! wifi works perfectly!

How can i do that?

I don't know if this is what michelem had in mind but I've had some success sshing into Minera and executing another instance of bfgminer or cgminer whilst the primary mining instance is running.

I have two R-Box 2s arriving today.  I'm hoping that they'll work well on Minera after the trials of trying to get Antminer U3s to work in a consistent and stable way.  Minera itself worked perfectly but the U3s themselves were a nightmare!

So if I want this to work i just need the write the minera.iso to my sd card and put it in the pi with all the hardware connected ofcourse.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty much yea know what hardware you have and miner software supports what hardware  but yea just burn and then plug and play .

[salaman112]

okay so i got everything running with my 2 zues blizzards the software i use is CGminer(Dmaxl zeus fork) with the command --scrypt --scan-serial zeus:auto --zeus-chips 6 --zeus-clock 330 everything runs fine for a hour and after that i get the error failed to send work.
Thanks in advance.

so how can i do that, and how can i make it autostart on each boot?

I'm trying to use Minera on a Raspberry Pi with a Zeus Thunder 3 and bfgminer. Note that did a manual install of Minera on an existing Pi image.

When I try to start up the miner, it fails with no obvious error. I tried running bfgminer manually using the same command line so that I could see what's wrong. Apparently there's a missing library, or the paths to it are not there:

Code:

 /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer --scrypt -S zus:all --set zus:chips=128 --set zus:clock=254 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json
/var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer: error while loading shared libraries: libbase58.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Note that I tried running as various users, including my own user, "minera", and root, in case there was a path issue. Same error in all cases.

After searching for a solution I tried this suggestion, but it did not help. I'm still seeing the error:

https://gist.github.com/daryltucker/1c17354fa39ce8cb2285

Any thoughts on getting this to work?

Maybe I need to manually build bfgminer?

Never mind. Turns out that I did have to build bfgminer after all.

Originally I skipped that last step in the manual instructions because it looked like a bfgminer binary was installed already.

When I followed the last manual instruction and did this, I was able to run bfgminer:

Code:

./build_miner.sh bfgminer

How can i give Minera a static network IP?

You can follow this guide: http://elinux.org/RPi_Setting_up_a_static_IP_in_Debian

Hey, is it possible to create your own multipool with minera?
Would love an option, that switches through all your pools that are set up.

Maybe 2 hours each pool than switching to another.

Thanks :-)

That's a good idea, unfortunately I haven't much time now but I will add it as TODO. Thanks for the feedback.

Is there any other apps similar to mobile miner? I would still really like to control miners from my phone.

Does anybody have any experience running new Rockminer R-boxes with Minera?  I have two hooked up to a RPI2.

cgminer autorestarts every few hours and then about once a day the Pi freezes altogether.  Once the RPI2 is powered off and on again, mining begins until the same thing happens again.

For reference the R-Boxes are running off a breakout board from a Corsair 750w modular PSU and the RPI2 is running off a 2.5A power supply from my old Nexus 5 smart phone.

Any ideas why cgminer keeps restarting and my RPI2 eventually hangs?

That's an issue known to be present with the Pi. If your looking for a stable SBC to run these on, try getting your hands on a Cubieboard with the A10. Rockminer said they did extensive testing with these and they were the most stable SBC to use.

Interesting, thanks for this info.

What is "HW" in the local miner details area?
