Let me know if you end up getting the above to work.

By the way... I am holding onto the BTC from the sale, so if we can't get it working then we can work something out with you.

Good luck Smiley

A cron job set to run every hour might do the trick.

The command to stop and restart cgminer with minepeon is:

sudo systemctl stop cgminer.service

Make a shell script with that command and place it in /etc/cron.hourly/

Note: you may need to change directories in the first line of the script before running the command to whatever directory the systemctl command is. I am assuming its in the home directory so it may not be needed.

My Linux skills aren't that great, so you may need to trouble shoot this a bit... but it may work if you can get the script setup properly.

I apologize you are experiencing issues. I promise the Baby Jet was working fine before I shipped it to you, I guess something happened while it was in transit. I will poke around on the internet/forums and look for a solution.

Have you checked to make sure the water cooling setup is properly connected and working? Perhaps it is overheating, although your temperatures look OK in your after picture. Also check all connections inside the case to make sure everything it intact and seated correctly.

The screenshots show you are using bfgminer, but you do mention that you are using/have used cgminer. So, have you tried cgminer or not?

After adding up the devices it looks like you are still hashing at 381 Gh (and I disregarded the decimals so it is a bit faster than that), so it is only a bit slower than you started out. Are you sure that it is not an error with the hash rate reporting on minepeon and the pool is showing something different?

I'm assuming you adjusted the difficulty on Eligius/ghash?

One other idea.. I realize this isn't optimal, but have you tried hooking it up to a PC or laptop instead of using the Pi?

I tried just regular cgminer and it does the same thing after 30-40 minutes.  I guess I can try a PC later today, but that will not work for my farm setup and no way I am running mining rigs at my house.  Honestly 400GH is just not worth this much effort lol.

I have also tried a different pool (ghash.io) and that did not help either  Undecided

I am offering a $25 bounty (in BTC) for help making this POS HashFast BabyJet work and be stable...

I have tried using MinePeon and Wheezy and have the same issue on both....it mines for 15 minutes - 1 hour and just dies.  MinePeon will be hashing a long then all the sudden it spins the fans down and finds another device... Below are the screen shots of before and after.

With just wheezy and cgminer will run for a little bit then just close...I have tried using a stronger power source for the Rasp Pi (Apple Charger) it doesn't help.  When starting Cgminer it warns about the firmware.

 

Before it messes up...




After...
