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

[silverthornne]

Can Minera be installed in the Archlinux distribution used for Minepeon? I think the problem I'm having with Minera and bfgminer may be the Raspbian distribution and not Minera itself. Granted, it really is a problem with the R-Box miners since they're such a pain but the thing is that whenever I boot up a Raspberry Pi usually only one or two of the R-Box miners get recognized. I have four of them and I have to keep moving them around different USB ports in the USB hub I'm using. After fiddling with them for a while, eventually Minepeon with bfgminer 4.3 recognizes all four miners and as long as I don't need to reboot (please power don't go out for longer than the UPS can handle!), all R-Box miners work fine.

With Minera I usually get my one or two R-Box miners recognized (and it's not always the same one or two; this can vary) and if I start moving them around the ports of the USB hub I can just spend hours at it and the two other miners won't get recognized. In fact, what usually happens is that the two miners that were working also stop working! So I think that may be something about the way Raspbian is managing the USB devices vs the way that Archlinux does and not an inherent issue with Minera.

Hello all for some reason and I have tried everything I cannot get my gaw fury to work with minera. The fury does work and is/was working on starminer. I have tried bfgminer and both cgminers. Different configs . The dash board shows nothing like I am not running but the main page shows miner online. I have redown loaded the image and manually pulled it thru git hub. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have spent a total of 4 hrs on trying getting this running. trying to get the cgminer dmax zeus fork running
 
Guided
Scrypt checked
Scan all checked  
--set zeus:chips=6 --set zeus:clock=354

Manual settings
--scrypt --zeus-chips 6 --zeus-clock 342 --scan-serial zeus:auto

Thanks in advance

It's a known problem.

Default is from what I read --zeus-chips 6.

All you need is scan all ticked, scrypt ticked. --zeus-clock 342 in the extra cmd box.

this is for dmaxl.

For me there was a 7 min delay till zeus fury was picked up.

I dropped minera for now and am back to hashra.

Don't get excited. These are SHA-256 hashrates. :-P



Thanks michelm! Using the version you posted I've got 3 r-boxes running on Minera. The hardware errors seem artificially high considering I've got a fairly good poolside hashrate for only running a few moments. It got up to 95gh poolside after 10 min

One thing I'm noticing in the terminal window is the KNC spi errors. I'm going to try recompiling myself with only USB drivers installed.
I'll leave this running for a few hours and let you know if there's anything odd.

I notice you're using cgminer. I also had really high hardware errors with cgminer. Switching to bfg the hardware errors went down significantly, but my Pi had trouble recognizing my R-Boxes. Do you also have that kind of problem with them? They're a pain...

On minepeon, I use the CGminer provided by rockminer. It detects fine and I get 103gh average for 3 with no real fuss.
That's the version of CGminer (I think) I'm using here. I think the errors are artificial - because there doesn't seem to be a real impact to pool-side hashrate. I think.

There's definitely something wrong with the binaries.
I git cloned dmaxl cgminer and compiled it myself on minera and it now picks up gaw/zeusminers instantly and without the 7 minute wait for it to start.

Also recompiled bfgminer from the luke-jr tree so it was 4.4 and not 4.3.

Also, michaelm, you need to update the udev rules for cgminer and bfgminer, they don't match the ones available from the bfgminer source tree or cgminer (dmaxls), I copied over new ones myself from git, things are running much nicer!

Suggestion, the api check failing due to not connecting that makes it restart the miner, check more then once before restarting the miner (3 times) for sanity checking.

Would love if I could get this section on its own Page for mobile. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vanoy3u7rkj6698/2014-07-19%2023.47.10.png

Hi Nate,
That is great news.  Minera is like MinePeon on roids.  It am loving running it with my different miners.
I have the Blizzards working great now and over clocked as well.
Thanks for the hard work as always.

I think nwools is going to try intensively Minera with fews hardware to test something, hope we can ask him his impressions and suggestions soon.

I will be putting Minera through the ringer and giving michelem feedback on any hardware that should work with BFGMiner but isn't.

That said I cooked a Pi over the weekend (not the tasty kind and nothing to do with Minera) so I'll be waiting on a new Pi to arrive Monday before I can get going.

Does anyone have a copy of minera that actually works with the zeus miner blizzards. I figured out it works better with firefox. But it does not see more then 5 blizzards. Also the start time is like watching paint dry. if at all. its a awesome program when its working. Thanks

[Talie5in]

Dmaxl has some issues with Pool hashrate calculation (but it should get a reasonable one in few minutes)

minera/application/models/util_model.php
Line 325

Code:

if ($this->_minerdSoftware == "cgdmaxlzeus")
                                        $cgbfgminerPoolHashrate = round(($totals->{'Work Utility'}*71582788/1000/64), 0);

You divided by two, I played around for awhile and dividing by 64 seems to be spot on? (Seems accurate for me!)
I'll test by removing a blizzard and see how much it falls by.

Minera v0.3.2 with a lot of bug fixes and new features (almost every you asked me) is ready to be pushed. Today, or at max tomorrow.

Stay tuned and have great Sunday!

@Talie5in-Thanks

Hi,

I have gotten Minera to work with my Gridseed in SHA mode, had to use manual settings for CGMiner(DMAX). I am only seeing a hashrate half of what is expected, is there any reason for this?

Next question, will Minera be able to handle these units in Dual mode? Hashra can but I find it unstable.

Would be awesome feature for next release


Cheers

Exactly what hashrate were you expecting?

[ceslick]

I'm expecting around 11Ghs, minera is only showing 5Ghs, and looking at screen console cgminer(dmaxl) is only showing 5 to with a command line syntax that gives 11Ghs on latest cgminer with gridseed support

[tekgeek]

for those of you with fury's mine is running 3 of them on BFGminer
I didn't use any special commands just checked the ones available

so the fury's work fine with this... now I have to figure out how to setup
both the gridseed mini's (4 of them) along with this...  they will work fine
for awhile and then time out and just appear dead till I reboot the whole thing

this is all based on my RPi if I can get them working as well I will let ya know

It's none of my business but are you sure you want to mine SHA 256 at 11 GHz? Is it worth the effort?
