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

[michelem]

Sorry I'm a little confused.

I have an antminer s4 which has an internal controller. I'm unsure if this is a rasperry pi or not?

But I believe it's treated as a network miner so it doesn't need to have minera installed?

If I only have a network miner do I need to phsyically install minera anywhere? If so how?

And if not what do I need to do?

An S4 doesn't need anything to mine and you cannot install Minera on it (it has its own firmware).

You can use Minera installed in a standalone device like a Raspberry PI only to monitor and change pools on your S4, but before doing that you need to configure your S4 to accept connection from your Minera, you can follow this, I don't know if it works on S4 too: https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/wiki/Network-Devices#antminer-s3

Then check this too for reference: https://github.com/michelem09/minera/wiki/Network-mining-devices

Hello,

I'd like to submit a request for Minera to support multiple instance of miners.

I have a bunch of different asics and it'll be great if I could get a couple of cgminer instance running (1standard + 1 custom would be enough for me) and visible in the UI.

Thank you

I'm interested in using Minera with a sidehack stick. To do that, I want to use the latest version of bfgminer.

I'm using 2 sidehack stick on Minera.

I've compiled the custom cgminer version as explained in the sidehack stick thread.
I've configured Minera to use the custom miner and roll on



the thing is I can only run the sidehack sticks with this miner.

AH okay thanks for this! I'm using smit's firmware which mentioned Minera so though it was possible

Does anyone know if Minera will work with a Dragon Miner 1TH?  If so, can you share how, thanks!

I'm doing an image, i'll give you link today

I though Minera was supposed to run bfgminer 5.* ??

minera@minera /var/www/minera/minera-bin $ bfgminer --version
bfgminer 4.8.0-34-g9c71295

minera@minera /var/www/minera/minera-bin $ bfgminer --version
bfgminer 4.8.0-34-g9c71295

This is correct /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer --version

minera@minera /var/www/minera/minera-bin $ bfgminer --version
bfgminer 4.8.0-34-g9c71295

This is correct /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer --version

How come it shows 4.8 then ? Or I don't understand it correctly ?

Hi
for Rusalka68

Try this image : https://mega.nz/#!g4lQjBSb!mE6V_shP5Zk9UO8x_pcjREdNSbKBgqO1vXGIkGj130s

I had enable SPI driver for raspberry and put in "custom miner" the right cgminer version wich works with dragon

Tell me if it's ok

You are looking at the system bfgminer binary but Minera doesn't use that, Minera use only the binaries in the minera-bin directory.

So if you go in /var/www/minera/minera-bin/ you have to run the command with:

Code:

./bfgminer

./ means "the file in the current directory". Instead if you type only

Code:

bfgminer

it goes back to the system one.

Thank you, I knew I was expecting I was doing something wrong

Thanks  Olivier!

Mega is asking for a decryption key

how about the 1.5ths version of dragon ?

thx in advance for your kind work.

[wareck]

Normaly 1T and 1.5Th are same drivers...
I put in custom miner 2 cgminer

One is directly from dragon original firmare (set by defaut in my image file)
The other one is last cgminer with bitmine_A1 driver, almost same as dragon use...
(but option are differents, so you have to check them)

[Visvas]

I cannot make my antminer U3s work with minera any longer? i have updated cgminer to 4.9.2 using the built in script (nice feature).
But cgminer claims no devices was found. Tried superuser setting, manual/terminal start and config of cgminer fra the minera bin path etc.

Any experiences?

And yes, i know all about U3 issues but these have been working recently.

[zOU]

Thank you, I knew I was expecting I was doing something wrong 

I will give that a try too:

Since version 0.3.6 Minera comes with a script to build updated version of every single miner software.

If you are in trouble with your binary file of Bfgminer for example, you can simply connect in SSH and run this:

cd /var/www/minera
./build_miner.sh <miner-name>

[wareck]

For rockminer U3, you need to build last bfgminer

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

and after, add
-S all

in config options
