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

[Asylum]

So I've gotten Minera on my PI3, got the web app up and it detects the usb miners but they don't seem to be doing anything at all. They are the 333mh/s block erupters, any recommendations on the settings to use to get them up and running? Iv'e been reading through this thread but can't seem to find anything that helps, other than a mention of running bfgminer as root on page 143 but that hasn't helped either.

Tell us at least your current miner configuration, what miner software are you using?

Firstly Minera is amazing

I have a small issue, everytime I turn off my pi it will no longer find any miners and I am unable to change or save any settings. The only way I can get it to work is to re-install Minera onto the SD card, it probably something I am doing this is all a learning experience for me

I had this issue before.   there are 2 spots to setup the mining pool info.    dont do it on the dashboard, go into the pool page section and add it there, and save them.

should stick from there. mine did.

after 4months of running, i did lose one pool, that i had to readd, which was a bit odd. but overall it ran great.

mmm that's weird, you have to check the Minera logs in /var/www/minera/application/logs try to save and then check them I think you have some problem with Redis (DB) or disk space is full.

if it's not full make sure you have Append JSON conf (-c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json) set to on , if it is off it will still work till a reboot or turn OFF/shut off and will some times even hold though a reboot because the power was not tuned off on rebooting ..

I read instruction on manual install and need some clarification:

I know how put raspbian on SD.

But is below that I mwan making sure I understand correctly!

After installing rasbian:

code 1:

Code:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michelem09/minera/master/install_minera_ubuntu.sh | sudo bash

step2:
Skip this step and continue below if you have a web server with PHP just installed.

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y lighttpd php5-cgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo service lighttpd force-reload

When your web server is ready you can install Minera:

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y redis-server git screen php5-cli php5-curl
cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/michelem09/minera
cd minera
sudo ./install_minera.sh

Questions:
In step 2, what step is this referring to and is it require installing a web server with PHP?
If not then all I need is executing code 1? correct?

Yes it does but you have to update it on a RPI 2 or lower first if it doesn't boot out the box .. then take the SD and put it in the RPI 3 it should boot up .. if it doesn't Id say do a manual install.. it will then ..
like it says here:

 https://github.com/michelem09/minera

down the page some .!!! were it says

Manual install (Some skills needed)
 

Oyea  Minera will run anything that can run this type of OS or  Linux OS. .. the only thing,I'm not sure about is a cell phone or tablet, it, probable won't  but it will run any PI type or PC ... that runs Linux...

That work.

Does minera work rpi 3

Hey michelem,

when using bfgminer via minere sd, I often get the following nessage:
1) "all pools are dead' while still producing!

In fact, I just restarted that miner without rebooting and pool is alive!

Is message (1) fake at this point and how to prevent this in command line?

Use this

Code:

/#xnsub#skipcbcheck

or

Code:

/#skipcbcheck

should fix it with BFG ...does for me

after the port like this :

Code:

stratum+tcp://yourpool:port/#xnsub#skipcbcheck 

or

Code:

stratum+tcp://yourpool:port/#skipcbcheck

code 1 may not work with raspbian use all the code below that im using Ubuntu 16 that was bitch and took hours of searching to find out there is a bug with Ubuntu 16 and rpi 3 it works now after I used the work around for the bug.

 i can make a back up of my image and post it some place for you if you want, ill set it to defaults all but the IP,so you know what the IP is, it will be Ubuntu 16 with minera installed on a RPI 3 and static IP set at http://192.168.1.200/minera , i can change to DHCP then you ll have to find the IP dhcp gives it ...


as for code 1 it only works on Ubuntu 15 or lower it won't work to well on Ubuntu 16 because of the PHP that 15 uses and 16 no longer uses 16 uses PHP7.0 .... what that code downloads was written for Ubuntu 15 or lower...not raspbian it never worked for me on raspbian even If i could get it to work ... I don't use raspbian any way if i can help it, i have to many issue and like Ubuntu server standard a lot better .

I think he means if you all ready have a webb server  installed skip 2 then do step 3  if i don't understand some thing i do it any way if it messes up the SD i know better and learned why and understand to me is the best way to learn and burn two SD ...


lighttpd is a open-source web server ....

http://www.lighttpd.net/

lighttpd php5-cgi is for  Ubuntu 15 or lower or raspbian

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y lighttpd php5-cgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo service lighttpd force-reload

lighttpd php7.0-cgi is for UBUNTU 16 or higher and works much better or seems more stable then php5

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y lighttpd php7.0-cgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo service lighttpd force-reload

last thought if you do get Ubuntu 16 working on a RPI3 you will need to edit some files in the minera folders after you down load minera before you install it , you have to change a few lines in one or two files in the minera folders that have to do with PHP5 to php7.0 or minrea my not work well or at all .

A quick question.
I use raspi pixel x86 with a manual install.
I manage to get the miner auto started on boot by replacing the first line in /etc/rc.local with #!/bin/bash
But when i update some settings in minera the rc.local file will be overwritten and rule out my mod so i have to do this every time.

any quick fix for this ?  thanks.

Add your stuff to rc.local from the Minera settings in the System settings.

I guest I won't be using rpi3.

I have another questions:
When seeing message stale share found submitted from user.
I got bunch of same message in which I lost 44 shares and I think it disconnected from pool!

When trying restarting rpi2 and come at following and doesn't go further:


Can you explain what's going on?
As far as I know, there no heat on rpi and on gridseed blade! I can two red light on each blade none of green lights are not seen!

This is pool server problem? Right?

If not, will be great in knowing to fix this!

I used one of following code:

Code:

#xnsub#skipcbcheck

Code:

#skipcbcheck

If there a way to list device to see what's wrong it might help.
As of matter of fact, I re-created sd with minera and same problem.

That's not a Minera related problem, please ask to Bfgminer authors or specific related thread

[splat44]

Actually, I solved this issue! It turned out to be connectivity pool server problem!
Yes, that might've not have been miner issue but toptech quite active here!

Another question:
Which version of cgminer that minera built is using?

Check it from a terminal I don't remember.

Code:

/var/www/minera/minera-bin/cgminer -v

You can always re-build it with the build_miner.sh script

Hello! I install Minera on my Raspberry Pi and i love the possibility to control Minera from the web. I'm trying to mine Bitcoin using my gridseed mini with BFGMiner but i don't know what write in the option line. I try the default profile in the menu for thr gridseed and bfg and work when i mine scrypt currency but not with sha coins... Can help me? Also with the gridseed i can mine x11 coins? Thx!
