HASHRA - MINING TO THE MOON
Love this image...has worked really well for me!  How many seeds can the HASHRA Atlantis support per Rasp Pi??  When I tried to run over 20 on a regular wheezy install it would bomb out after a few hours.

Hi,

The CONTROLA can support 20 Gridseed minis max.

HASHRA - MINING TO THE MOON
Got an ODD problem I'm hoping someone can diagnose...

Using the Hashra Controla v 1.4.0 image from the Hashra site, updated to 1.4.5 via the web console...

2 days ago, we switched our mining to LTC coins.  After updating the URL to point to and doing a Save and Restart, I saw only 9 of our 11 GridSeed miners come up  (Miners 1 thru 9 came up...).  The remaining 2 say "loading" on the advanced tab.

Last night, I pressed the web button to "Restart" and saw 10 of our 11 GridSeeds come up (Miners 1 thru 10 came up...).

Any ideas what I can do to get all 11 GSD's up?

I noticed it appears the Raspberry Pi seems to be using a specific program for LTC mining that's different from what it uses for other lite coins.


Thanks!

hi greyscale,

Please email to [email protected] screenshot of the activity log when you start the miners and we will help : )

Here are the results from my head-to-head comparison against Hashra.  I have two identical RPI setups with qty ten 5-chip miners each.  Since there is no way to distinguish between rigs on Nicehash's website, I used my BTC address for Hashra Controla and Michelem's donation BTC address for the Minera controller. 

Hashra's Dashboard and Nicehash stats
 

Minera's Dashboard, Settings, and Nicehash stats
   

Looking through the log, it looks like it took about 6 hours for the autotune process to finish.  Minera had FAR fewer rejects and HW.  It's hard to tell from a short run like this which is the ultimate winner, but I think that Minera has a solid edge over Hashra.

Nice job

Hmm.. I like the graphs..  will try out a copy of this other program.

I have 5 RPIs setup with Hashra at the moment

Has anyone got Hashra working with DualMiners (usb sticks) ?

Has anyone had success using a wireless dongle on the rPi with Controla?

I've tested my rPi with a single Gridseed, directly connected to my router, and it seems to hash successfully. Although, the Controla web page is really not accessible while the Gridseed is hashing (I can see the results from the pool side however).

If I try this very same setup, but with a wireless dongle instead, Controla doesn't even recognize that there is a Gridseed attached.

I'm thinking that maybe the wireless dongle is overloading the USB interface on the rPi, but I'm pretty new to the rPi. I did try the same test with a Scripta image and had the same results basically.

This is the wireless dongle that I have been testing: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FADTN14/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_2

SSH

What version of CONTROLA do you have? if it's lower than 1.4.0 then you're using an older img with a different password.
You can download the latest img from the HASHRA support page. That img has the aforementioned password

Hero! That explains a lot Wink

I'll update my rigs tonight, thanks man!

Good news Ladies & Gentleman…

We have now decided to release the SSH login details for the Gridseed Based products using the CONTROLA Firmware:

USER: pi

PASSWORD: 3K4Hb8FMeZjQZJEX6scYzZa

ENJOY!  Smiley

Unfortunately I can't login, I'm getting an access denied. More people with that? I've updated to the latest version (if that matters)

SSH login or CONTROLA login? the CONTROLA login through the browser is hashra/hashra

How are you powering your Pi?

with the usb wire that goes into the wall.  looks like an iphone charger except usb on 1 end and plugs into the square socket to plug into the outlet.
got scripta to hash fine with 1 grid, when I put a 2nd grid into the other usb port, both will not detect and shortly after going into the web interface, onboard Ethernet stops working. only way is to unplug and plug the power to get back in with 1 grid connected

forgot to mention after i remove the scripta sd card and put the latest control sd card into the same unit that was mining.  when hashra boots up.
in the log window i can see it found GSD 0 however it does not show under the graphical interface, there are no grids listed to the left.  Also after 30 sec ethernet disconnects and the lights go out on the pi, only the red power light stays on and occasionally flash red or free i forget,  but the ethernet light stays off

also forgot to mention, i do not think it is defective merchandise as we have a couple hundred grids to try, 10 raspberry pis and 5 extra sd card that i am burning various images on.  got several usb hubs to try as well.  thanks for the help
