I think I like wifi-menu more... It looks like it is reconnecting to wireless...

I am mostly with you.  I plan to put to a vote on the forums;-

http://minepeon.com/forums/

Soon and then pull into the mainline distro.

With this new 0.2.5 image you can't use Wireless.

[minepeon@minepeon etc]$ sudo wicd-curses

sudo: wicd-curses: command not found
And I can't figure out hot to use it with this board. Did I misunderstand that this one had this board enabled in miner already and I need to compile it?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/open-source-avalon-gen2-55nm-board-323175

0.2.5 is my unstable branch that I test stuff with.  I am trying out wifi-menu in that version, to use it do;-

sudo wifi-menu

I am still not convinced it is the best way to go over wicd, see what you think.

Is there any way to switch pools in MinePeon?

You can add pools to it, but it does not use them.

Click the arrow beside the pool to move it to the top of the list.

I guess I need to run it as root...

You do indeed.

Regardless, the normal networking code will be monitoring for an ifup event when your router comes back online and will configure the interface.

Neil

P.S. Your code does not have an exit condition, if you are running it from cron you will end up with multiple instances of it.
No I'm not running it from cron but in a shell... Just for tests for now... How do I get root... I can't find password for it anywhere...

Anyway it doesn't reconnect after disconnect... That is my problem

The minepeon user has rights to reboot (it is used in the web interface).  all you need to do in your scripts is;-

sudo reboot

And it should kick it over exactly as the WebUI does it.

OK figure out another thing. Since we are in a middle of one of the worst natural disasters of the county history and power is really intermittent at best I figure out that one of the problem I have is Rosebery doesn't reconnect on wireless.

I was planing to run this script

Code:
#!/bin/bash

while true ; do
   if ifconfig wlan0 | grep -q "inet" ; then
      sleep 60
   else
      echo "Network connection down! Attempting reconnection."
      ifup --force wlan0
      sleep 10
   fi
done

But I get error

ifup: command not found

I guess I need to run it as root...

Any other way to do it?

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/21399/minepeon-peercoin-asic-miner-not-working

Im new the the game so please correct me if needed.

I have a RasPI running minepeon 0.2.5, a DLINK USB Hub ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00008VFAF/?tag=stackoverfl08-20 ) and a Red Fury USB ASIC Bitcoin Miner 2.2-2.7GH/Sec By BITFURY

I've added my pool https://ppcoin.d7.lt/ and things looked good except nothing is mining.

The miner states it's running but the device id is 0 and 0 hashrate.

I've tried to start the miner manually https://ppcoin.d7.lt/getting-started

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u miner.1 -p 99999

it starts up but states the USB hub is busy, I see it testing the Red Fury but after that it still is not mining.

Am I missing something?

It should just work.

Can you give a screenshot of the pools screen and the status screen?

Neil

Thanks, I fixed the issue but now having a hash rate issue as well.

Here is the fix:

This issue helped me solve my issue:

https://github.com/MineForeman/minepeon-base/issues/13#issuecomment-33760864
running the command

sudo lsusb -v
I get this out put, is this correct?

idVendor 0x03eb Atmel Corp.
idProduct 0x204b LUFA USB to Serial Adapter Project
bcdDevice 0.00
iManufacturer 1 BFMG
iProduct 2 Bitfury BF1
add the lines below to this file

/etc/udev/rules.d/01-miner.rules
add these lines

# BF1
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="204b", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0666", GROUP="minepeon"
rebooted the server and now I see my miner!

Here is the hash rate issue:

MinePeon is a nice piece of work. I see that Hashfast is using MP on it's miners. Did you license it to them, or  is the kitty cat gonna come out. It would be nice to get 15 minutes a day on several hundred terra hashes.

I will have to email and ask, a few people have mentioned that MinePeon is on their miners.  As free and open source software they are fully within their rights to do so (and very welcome do do so as well).

MinePeon is after all based on many MANY other free and open source projects (cgminer... bfgminer... the Linux kernel etc).

I don't know if they left the donation code in (donations are anonymous) and I have no way of checking and there has not been a sudden increase in donations, but yeah, if it is still there I might be able to leave my day job and work 100% on MinePeon Tongue .

Now what else could it be. Since it heaped at the same time every night... There was no problem with computer only pi...

The list of potential issues are (in order);-

1. Power: Don't plug it into the hub that is powering your miners.  It should work, but often does not.  I use a apple power adaptor for mine.

2. SD Card: Try a few different ones, Class 10 and good brands (but even good brands through out the occasional dud).  Weird stuff happens when you have a bad SD card making it hard to diagnose, bet trick is to try a few untill you find one that works.

3. Hub:  Strangely enough I have had the best luck with USB 1.1 and USB 2 hubs with big power supplies.  Remember, each miner will suck up at least .5 of an Amp (more if possible).  I like to count on .75 Amp's per working socket.  Easy way to check this is unplug all your miners except 1 and see if your problems disappear.

Work through those 3 to start with, I know it is a bit of a pain in the ass, but your power bill will thank you for it if you can get it stable.

Neil
Are you assuming that I'm using USB miners? I'm not... And I tested option 2. But since it is time specific I guess it must be something in software and crontab related since deleting donation helped... The one with USB miners have no problem... Same hub... And it is happily donating... Not much by now but it was more in the past... Anyway I see that there is 2.4.3 and 2.5.1 out... Will test and see. Would love to live donate function working...

I just got my fresh new rpi-b
Downloaded and installed the latest 0.2.5.pr1 on the 16 Gb superfast SD and all seems to work this far
When i used the rpi plain with only the psu which came with it it powered down when unplug the mini connector
So i took my little 10 port usb hub from the shelf with its 5 amp psu and the minute i connect the hub the rpi powers up on the normal usb 2.0 port.
Looks like the psu which came with it is now overkill or am i wrong and does it still need its own power
I have 8 devices which probably will be connected constant and maybe sometimes the usb wireless keyboard when it fails.
As far as i know the only one pulling some power will be the usb wifi-n dongle.
The other devices should not pull any power from the hub since they have their own psu.


More stable with its own power supply.
