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

[IMJim]

no worries bud, if you have any questions about the buggie feel free to PM me, am quite familiar with it:-)

It should be a sin to not like scampi, especially my moms drunken buttery goodness scampi!


EDIT - in case we didn't make it clear, this only happens every once in a blue moon and only upon clicking the "save" or "save and restart miner" buttons after editing or adding pool data.  Instead of the proper response from the selected button, the screen just moves you down to the area it seems to have an issue with.  Sometimes after updating, the pre-filled data that gets added to the Email field under the mobile options is not a valid email......it is a word which I cannot remember, it seems Minera picks up on this data and wants you to address that field before it will allow you to save the pool info.  Have only seen this one after an update.

The one where it drops you down to the coin selection seems much more intermitant and without reason although it could be something silly like the coin you had selected before doesn't exist anymore or something.  I really don't know the rhyme or reason for this one, I just select any combo and click save under that field and back off to the races.

Hope it helps!

How would I run Gridseed orbs on Minera. I have tried everything and it just won't work. Is there a special command line that would go in the manual window to get them to work properly?. Iwould like to run  them with Bfgminer or CGminer. But I'm not having any luck.

First of all use cpuminer with gridseeds mini it's the best one for that.
Then please give us at least the command you use with bfgminer or look at the log in the dashboard.

Hey M.. I have tried using CPUminer but it never submits any work. I don't use a command line with BFGminer.  Also BFGminer seems to be broke in the update. It won't run my U2s and it won't even come up at all.

First off, started using this monitor Saturday and it works/looks great!  Very good job.  Got it running on a Beaglebone black using Bfgminer as a proxy and every

thing is smooth.  One thing I have noticed though is the weird way error and reject rates are calculated.  Seems it is based on difficulty 1 shares.  My proxy is set to

accept diff128 shares so these figures are waaay inflated.  Is there a way to edit the way these are calculated.  I also use Anubis and was able to change these figures

in the Php code with it.  Could this be done here?

Speaking of reinventing the wheel - shouldn't they submit a pull request back to CGMiner so that it can be included upstream instead of introducing Yet Another Miner Fork?

ckolivas just posted the good news in the Prisma thread:

In an unexpected but most welcome move, the driver for these was submitted to cgminer. I've reviewed their driver and suggested some changes which they've already resubmitted so the driver is now part of mainline cgminer and will be in the next release due out today.

Another + for AM over BM!

Score - I wish they all took the extra time to do that.

It has been mentioned several times, that the RPI B+ is not the SoC best suited to run a chain of miners (AM Prisma's can be daisy-chained 32 units = 8 devices to be connected to the controller using only one UART->USB adapter) because of the issues with the ethernet port being connected to the USB controller. Instead the BeagleBone Black has been suggested because it has a dedicated ethernet controller.

Does the Minera ARM image work without modifications on a BeagleBone Black, or does one have to install another Linux distribution (like Ubuntu on Beagle) with Minera on top?

I don't think RPI image works on Beaglebone, you should try, but best option is to start with debian/ubuntu on Beaglebone and then manually install Minera.

There aren't any calculations for accepted/rejected/errors data, they are directly taken from RPC API stats from the miner.

I have 10 Gridseed minis running on Minera no issues, what coin+pool are you trying to mine? Im currently on LTC/DOGE on GHash.io

Used CPUMiner with autotune to start with, now set to specific clocks.

just curious if anyone has seen this on the latest version. the pool on the dashboard do not reflect what is in the settings. is there a work around for this?

Did you restart the miner?

Anyone have an 0.3.5 image?  The 0.3.7 image and my G-Black boxes are not working well at all!!!  0.3.5 worked like a champ!!!

Any releases can be downloaded, just change the version number

I seem to be having problems with CGminer. Anyone know how to fix this issue  [2014-10-14 13:56:13] KnC transport: Can not open SPI device /dev/spidev1.0: No such file or directory.
Getting that message over and over again. Makes it hard to watch the log.

i did. it was still the same. i ended up reimaging the disk and started fresh.

I've just put it on a fresh ubuntu install as my raspberries aren't quite up to the number of blades I've got on them. I've tried a single gridseed mini on the ubuntu rig.

I have to use <minera-ip>/minera/ to get it to display, / is a default homepage. Dunno if that's connected

When I try to save stuff from the web gui, it just doesn't seem to work, the rc.local edits don't seem to work. the pool settings get saved in the web page, but there's no json being made.

Will there ever be multi-device support???


I have a Gridseed Orb, 4 Antminer U2s, and a Gawminer Fury and would love to have all of them displayed on the dashboard. I run the Gridseed in dual mode, which is nearly impossible to do in the web interface, and the Gawminer can only run in scrypt mode. It would be great if the dash can display each of the devices independently, because I will be mining a multipool for the miners doing scrypt and a Bitcoin pool for miners performing SHA256. I know this is a tall order, but believe it could be done.

Also, I had setup a quick instruction guide to setup dual mode for the Gridseed Orbs/Mini/5-chip, if this can be of any help to be able to enable dual mode via the web interface:

Personally, I really like the interface of Minera and the app support to check on my miners remotely via the iOS app that is compatible with it. I think Minera is probably the best that I have seen yet for a web-based interface, especially that the interface can easily switch between desktop and mobile browsers. I hope you (or your development team) continues to do the good work that you do. It is really a blessing to have such an easy to use interface, even for someone like me who is comfortable in a Linux shell.
