Minera 0.4.0 and Gridseed 5 Chip miners mine Bitcoin?

[Axiste]

you could run a seperate instance of BFGminer in the background on minera, as I did for my dual mining on page 66 ish of Minera thread, you put the startup command into the rc.local settings on the dashboard settings page.

Essentially it would be

screen -dmS bfgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer -o <pool> -u <user> -p <pass> -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0781 --api-listen --api-port 4030 --api-allow W:192.168.0.0/24

That will start bfgminer seperately behind the minera dashboard, with an antminer U1 at 1.8GHs, with the api set on port 4030 (so as not to interfere with the CPUMiner running on Minera) and allowing full control of the api from the 192.168.0.* network.

Obviously change the -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0781 for settings that work for your device.

Thanks Axiste!!!! Great info! I got it working! The Gridseed 5 Chips are mining AND my Red Furies are mining too. I can tell they are mining because the lights on them are flashing and the worker stats page (on the pool's website) shows them working. But I can't see BFGminer running from SSH or my browser.

Here's what I ended up putting in....
screen -dmS bfgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u MyUserName.redfuries -p x -S bigpic:all --api-listen --api-port 4030 --api-allow W:192.168.1.50

My computer's IP is 192.168.1.50 on my local network, so I should have access. What do I need to do in SSH or my browser to see the instance of BFGminer running?

while on ssh, you need to do:

screen -r bfgminer

which will bring it to the front so you can see it in the terminal.

then, to leave it running when you finish looking at it, do:

ctrl + a, then d

this will move it back to background, otherwise if you press q it will quit.

Nope....  Didn't work. When I enter "screen -r bfgminer" it returns "There is no screen to be resumed matching bfgminer."

If I enter "screen -r" I see my Gridseeds mining away.

oh, might need to do:

sudo screen -r bfgminer

as its in rc.local its probably started as root user not minera

There it is!!! Now I see it! The "sudo" did the trick.

Now I can see that each miner is working, and the speed and error rate of each miner.

Thank you Axiste!!!
