When can we get cgminer 3.4.3 to git pull to MinePeon, please?

So far I can't get 3.4.3 to run longer than an hour on Raspbian before locking up seems the same on Pidora Cry
Putting it back to 3.4.2, so far still running. So I'm not sure about that...

I am running 3.4.3 through its tests now.  It has not done anything funny yet.

Once it runs for a while I will push it up for you guys.

Neil
Neil, do you have any news about MinePeon full image 0.2.4?

My cgminer 3.4.2 is doing strange things... is working for some hours, unexpectedly starts with errors accessing the USB Gizmos and the RPI freezes. I have a 0.2.3 (not a) MinePeon version with all Arch Linux and MinePeon updates. I have Automatic recovery enabled but doesn't work.

Follow these instructions to fix the system clock

Then do

Code:
sudo systemctl stop cgminer
sudo systemctl start cgminer

Followed these instruction and after about 2min 3sec, the miner went back to 15963 day.  I believe they are still working as accept reject etc still move, however it would be nice to have it completely operationing.  

I changed to America/New_York timezone and the following ntp servers:
           server 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
      server 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
      server 2.north-america.pool.ntp.org
      server 3.north-america.pool.ntp.org

Any other ideas, I'd be more than happy to try.

*EDIT* Realized I missed iburst after each ntp server address.  Adjusted file and restarted cgminer fingers crossed.

Please Help:

I finally got my first Erupters up and running and excited to start hashing for first time.  Only problem is after Minepeon has been running for 5 min, by Miner Uptime goes to 15963 day 4 hr 36 min 54 sec.

I realize this it a date time issue, I've found threaded that have me SSH in reset time, but it seems to just do it again 5 minutes later.  What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried a fresh install of 0.2.2? It seems people have had problems with 0.2.3

Thank you!  Looks like with my configuration now 0.2.3a had some issues... strange.  I upgraded to 0.2.3a when i had half as many miners, only when I added double the miners did I have an issue, but 0.2.2 is working fine now for over an hour with no issue.  Well, I cant say for sure 0.2.3a is the issue, maybe a clean install would have worked, but I wanted it working ASAP so i did clean install AND old version at the same time, and one of those two things solved my problem.

Mined the first full hour on the donate address, love this project!

USB 2.0 HUB Powered 7-Port high speed+Free AC Adapter

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370812764010

Tnx for help

I'm using the same just with another branding. It works well with 5 USB Miners. For over a Month now. have You tried different USB Cables? Sometimes it helps to cut the red cable of the Connection, but I didn't.

I did change The cable, but no difference. I don't understand... The 2 usb asicminer work perfectly well if plugged individually either directly to the Pi or to the USB hub, but if I put them together (USB hub or PI port or one in the USB hub and one to the Pi that's what happens... Basically one the two gives errors, but is not always the same one...alone works perfectly!

The AC adapters that came with my 2 HUB's like your's were of 5 volts, 1 ampere. As each USB Block Erupter needs 510 mA to hash and the switch also needs some mA to work, it can't give enough energy to both Erupters.

You need a AC adapter with more amperage. I'm using AC adapters with 5 volts 3 amperes and I can connect 5 USB Block Erupters without problems.

What date is displayed? Have you corrected it to the current date? Have you tried another sd card?

Hrum... seems when I set the correct time zone, the time is an hour off minepeon says it is 7:30 am when it is 8:30am...  I live in the same timezone as Chicago... So i set my timezone there.  I swore Chicago was on GMT -6 not -5 as stated in minepeon  The time is 1 hour off of what the actual time is here, but this may be due to me being retarded with timezones.

I noticed that I seem to be getting 30% hardware errors... I thought maybe things were overheating so I spread out my miners on the ports a bit more and moved it closer to the fan, no luck there, still the same problem.  And from my reading I have seen people put more miners closer together with less or no fans without issue... so i doubt that is my problem.  But 30% hardware errors...

I will go out and buy a new SD card, I have been force restarting this thing a lot and I imagine something on the card could be fucked up, thank you for pointing that out.  Still testing stuff!

Round 2!

Star configuration is the solution to my previous problem!  Thank you everyone who helped me out with that!

I now can get every miner recognized and when I start up my PI they all start mining shortly after the pi turns on!  Then the bad stuff happens... about 10-15 min later some of the miners, usually just 1 or two will go idle for a few seconds... and then after that find work and start mining.  Once that happens I know the whole rig is about to shut down.  After that more miners go idle, then after a bit come back on to mining.  Within a minute all my miners go idle, and the second all of them go idle, I can no longer access the webGUI and they never start mining on their own again.

If i powercycle the pi, they all come back on and work like there was never a problem, but the whole thing mines for less then an hour before it shuts down.

OK, now I'm confused.

On the one hand, you've managed to set up all your erupters such that they only sit on one logical hub per physical hub. Smiley (Looking at the D-Link, it seems that plugs 1, 3, 5, and 7 form one logical hub, and plugs 2, 4, and 6 are on the other logical hub.)

On the other hand, you have six logical hubs showing up -- something I haven't been able to accomplish.  Like you, I have the Wifi plugged directly into one of the Pi's ports, and my hubs are in a star config off the other port. Here's the same output from one of my Pis:

No matter what I do, I can't get the Pi to recognize any additional hubs; in fact, I can't get it to recognize erupters plugged into logical hub 2 on my last physical hub.  Anyone have any ideas?


I know, I am awesome.  Wink

But unfortunately I can not share that awesomeness with you, I can only explain my setup  Sad

Realize it might have been best to post here first, but I started a thread about a MinePeon issue, and not recognizing all erupters then stops hashing after a little over a minute.  10 minutes later all erupter leds go solid and LCD unput freezes.
