You can follow below steps for Minepeon on your Raspberry.

In case of questions, let me know.

1.
Buy a Raspberry PI version B.

2.
Download  SD formatter 4.0.
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

3.
Format a SD card min. 4 GB Class 10, with SD formatter 4.0.
(use a good brand, e.g Sandisk)

4.
Download Win32DiskImager.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

5.
Download MinePeon
http://sourceforge.net/projects/minepeon/files/latest/download?source=files

6.
Install MinePeon on the SD card with Win32DiskImager.

7.
Boot the Raspberry with MinePeon and locate your IP.
MinePeon login:
User: minepeon
Pass: peon

Command: ifconfig

8.
Create a pool account (BTCguild, 50BTC etc.)

9.
Enter the IP in your web browser (on your PC) and fill in your pool account.
User: minepeon
Pass: peon

(check all other settings)


10.
Restart your Raspberry with your ASIC miner plugged in.
Your miners will mine now, check your pool account.

Check your miners on your Raspberry:
Command: sudo
User: minepeon
Pass: peon
Command: screen -r

(for USB miners, use a good powered USB hub)

That's it!

Anyone finding this helpful, feel free to tip!

Are ฿itcoins Radioactive?
I need someone to talk me through getting my block eruptors mining. I have SSH set up, pi connected to internet. I am just useless at setting up the software. As I said I will pay 0.5 bitcoins to help me through this!
Prefferably will have to use some kind of chat. skype etc..
Don't waste your money. See this thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/linux-mining-distro-for-the-raspberry-pi-minepeon-137934) and pay attention to the USB HUB you are using to connect the USB Block Erupters to your Raspberry Pi.

I have one of my RPI's mining with 2 USB Gizmos, getting a stable 671 MHash/s, with MinePeon.

Good luck.
