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

[I_IZ_CEO]

michelem.... YOU ARE THE MAN!! THANKS MUCH, it works like a champ!



Everyone

[wareck]

Hi
I had test "upgraded version" on raspi B+ (ver 3.8 to 4.0)
and tested 4.0 image on PI B+ and Pi B

There is no problems for me until now...

Works greats and I can use my custom miner tools without make "bricolage"

Thanks a lot and happy holidays !:!:

[suzukii]

It's been a while for me.  I've just been gazing from afar.
Happy holidays, Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year to all.

Michelem, thanks for the new 4.x update. all is well.

To add... (I think I've mentioned this before)...  if only someone with the know how (this excludes me, I'm lucky I know what "SSH" is) could come out with a version that'll work on the BeagleBone Black Rev. C SOC unit.  This is my Xmas wish.  


again...
Happy holidays, Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year to all.

Got a problem 

I am waiting for my Rockminer R-Box to make it's way home and in the meantime I installed Minera on my Raspberry Pi.
The install ran just fine, meaning no issues that I could see. I can access minera just fine at the raspberry-ip/minera/
I get the login interface and here's where I run into my problem. I type in the password and nothing happens, the page just refreshes.
It does show a status of Offline, does that matter? I was expecting to be able to log in to the dashboard and go from there?
I followed the instructions to change the password with the sudo passwd minera command, and I tried both the default minera password as well as the password I set up and nothing works. The page just refreshes.

If you installed it from image file the web password is "minera"

[fishb0ne]

I've tried that password, no luck. Just refreshes the page and I get right back to the login page. I've tried this on mobile Safari on two devices, as well as Firefox on a PC.
I performed a manual install on my Raspbian distro. Right below the password box I show a grey dot and the word "Offline". Does that matter?
If I access the raspberry ip I can access the generic lighttpd webpage just fine. I've tried restarting the pi as well, no luck.

Do this on SSH

redis-cli set minera_password f6048a781885a51d7156afc13f2fb477

Then retry with "minera" as web password

[fishb0ne]

I'll give it a try in about 6 hours when I get home from work and report back with results. Thanks!

michelem, Long shot here; does this support the DigBig Excavator? My SD card just died with the "FusionMiner" software.

michelem, Long shot here; does this support the DigBig Excavator? My SD card just died with the "FusionMiner" software.

If the Digbig supports official bfgminer or cgminer, you can use it with Minera. If it uses a fork version and you have it or you know how to build it, you can use it on Minera and the new special feature "custom miner", where you can put your fork and use that to mine with Minera.
So, it's hard it cannot be used with Minera.

[fishb0ne]

michelem, it worked! Thank you! I got everything up and running yesterday. I am planning to mine for Peercoin which is SHA like Bitcoin. I was going to let the miner work and donate the proceedings to your pool, but it is a measly 32 GHZ/s so it's getting a 100% rejection rate. Probably just gonna donate you the bitcoin instead
What would be the best way to do a clean uninstall of Minera if I do decide to pull the plug on mining? I know my way around Linux only enough to get stuff up and running, but still have big gaps in knowledge.

Now I gotta figure out how to configure CGMiner in Raspbian to set it up for solo mining Peercoin. Off to more reading!

[goghua]

I just switched over from Minepeon. I managed to get Minera v0.4.0 installed and up and running with no issues however I am having a problem mining...

I am using the donation pool for testing.

I have selected BFGminer 4.X (Official) as my miner.

I have the following extra options: --log-file -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981

Everything starts up properly and begins mining, but all my shares are getting rejected with the message Low Difficulty Share.

Here is a snippet from the log:

[fishb0ne]

michelem, I think after I got done installing Minera, Putty warned me that the SSH keys have changed. Is this normal?

LE: now that I think about it, I did reset the "pi" password, maybe that's what triggered it.

Thanks!

Donation pool works only for scrypt algo not SHA256.

[fishb0ne]

^ That explains why I was getting all my shares rejected, as I was in SHA mode 

[michelem]

Yes, but I'm just working on a way to add the right donation pool relative to the algo used.

[fishb0ne]

That would be great, so I can allocate some mining time, but given my measly computational power of the miner, I'm going to end up just buying up some coin and donating. You're not going to get crap off a 35gh/s miner
By the grace of the crypto Gods I actually have my Pi up and running! For some reason BFGMiner wasn't playing nice, it was showing my pool as "dead" and was getting a 30% error rate, so I switched over to CGMiner and it's working absolutely perfect, error rate is not even 1% if that. Now what I gotta play with is the overclock argument, which I am assuming goes in the Extra settings box, see what kind of impact that has.

Either way, I just wanted to say that Minera is an amazing piece of software, incredibly well polished, a solid performer on minimalistic hardware, that offers a GUI on par with very expensive tools. Great work! I will support you in any way I can.

[fishb0ne]

michelem, anything in the install process of Minera that may cause my SSH keys to change?
I'm running it on a raspberry pi which is completely isolated from the world.
I did change my password for the "pi" user, but I was told that would not cause the keys to change. Just want to make sure nothing weird is going on.

Yes, there is a procedure to change SSH keys, to have them fresh at each install.

These are the lines involved in install_minera.sh:

Code:

echo -e "Generating unique SSH keys\n-----\n"
sudo rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
sudo service ssh restart

New here. This looks really promising, I just think I have one more hurdle to get over. I am having trouble getting my miner online I tried the build miner command but I get permission denied. Please help, thanks!

edit: interesting I left the system on and after some wait everything was all of a sudden connected and online but my miner isn't working
