Topic: Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon - page 99. (Read 684919 times)

I just heard yesterday that my next BFL device is on its way, I am not going to catch up to you but I will feel a bit less inadaquite.

From my tests the cgminer BFL driver is spot on and consumes tiny amount of resources.  I would go as far as to say a single 5.5 GH/s BFL device takes up only a bit more resources than a single Icarus 333 MH/s device.

EDIT:  By Icarus I mean the driver that the Block Eruptor USB uses.

I'll try all that on my RPi soon - just got one of the 'larger' items 2 days ago.
Had to rearrange things to get it fit it all in.
Waiting on 2 AMUs I ordered today that I'll get tomorrow and be using the RPi for testing there to finalise the USB1.1 funkiness - then I'll try the RPi hashing that size after that.

130.7 GH/s......

Way to make me feel tiny.

cardcomm has been working on a python script to the API and I've been testig it for him also on my desktop.
I'll leave him to update you about the script when it's working, but I hacked it up a bit and also got it to display what I wanted
Pointing at my main rig:

I will try not to blatantly lie to you again .

I am just glad I caught my mistake before some else did and pointed out what a noob I am .

Thanks Neil,
That fixed it. Now the donation settings are working again.

Hmmm...

That's because I sent you incorrect instructions!  It should be;-

chmod 660 /opt/minepeon/etc/minepeon.conf

Not 440, sorry about that.

As I said a while ago in this thread, there are quite a few changes going on in git at the moment, that file is new and still undergoing testing (so pull at your own risk, but there is a lot of cool stuff in there).  Thomas has kindly volunteered to work with me and teach me AngularJS and a lot of new features/changes are going on.

Funny story, Thomas (a web developer) does not even have a miner, he helped a friend use it to set up an Avalon and liked the project and technology so much he has been teaching me the finer points of JS and CSS as well as doing a lot of direct contributions.  He has to send changes to me to merge and test with real live miners!

I have dipped into the donation pool (donations made an entire bitcoin in the last month, and they found a block at ozcoin! Thanks all) and I am sending him his own miner (A Block Eruptor USB), partially as thanks and partially so he can test his own code .

Neil

It does not appear to have worked. Any other suggestions?

Your brave .  Past these three lines into ssh as minepeon;-

touch /opt/minepeon/etc/minepeon.conf
chmod 440 /opt/minepeon/etc/minepeon.conf
chown minepeon.http /opt/minepeon/etc/minepeon.conf

That should fix it, if it doesn't get back to me.

Neil

Amazon did something strange to my EC2 instance and I am just trying to work out what now, it seems to have rolled back a few months.

Once I work it out I will restore from backups though, it will be back soon.

What happened to the calc page 404 not found? http://mineforeman.com/bitcoin-mining-calculator

I just ran a git pull on /opt/minepeon/ and /opt/minepeon/http/ and now nothing on the settings page appears to be saving. Which file do I edit via ssh to force these settings?

... or more specifically ... you broke the pipe between you and the computer by shutting down

It's usually hard to talk to a computer after you shut it down

Thats the end of the ssh session. The computer you are connected to is power cycling so all connections are lost.

Couldn't wait: Just switched back to Minepeon and tried "sudo wicd-curses". Looks great, but I failed to save. To save I have to press F10, but it doesn't take the F10 of my ssh remote...

Tryin again...

EDIT: After shutting down, this message appeared:

[minepeon@minepeon ~]$ sudo shutdown
Shutdown scheduled for Thu 1970-01-01 02:00:05 BST, use 'shutdown -c' to cancel.
[minepeon@minepeon ~]$

Write failed: Broken pipe

I gad that sometimes when trying, what is broken Pipe? I installed about 5 Times and in every Install somewhere appeared this broken pipe...

Right now I have Raspberry installed and no time to switch (and no second Card). Maybe on Weekend I'll have some time, then I will try this.

I'm new to Pi and Arch Linux and this distro. I ran into a few issues when starting out with wireless. Thought I would share my results in case they help anyone else.

I have a situation where I wished to be WiFi only (totally non-wired), but ran into a number of problems:
1) WiFi wouldn't seem to connect at reboot
2) time was inaccurate on startup
3) timezone was off.

Note: various commands may require sudoing.

First I set up the wireless network by booting and running 'wicd-curses' to configure the wifi device. Once it started I:
1) Typed 'P' and set Wireless device to wlan0 (after I had already confirmed that was correct with the 'iwconfig' command). I also removed eth0 from Wired Interface. F10 to accept.
2) 'R' to refresh, then found my network and hit right-arrow to configure it. Scroll down and hit space on 'Automatically connect to this network' to set it and then scroll all the way down to set the network password (or Key). Hit F10.
3) 'Q' to quit

Next I stopped dhcpcd from running on eth0 on startup by typing 'systemctl disable dhcpcd@eth0'. Dunno if this was contributing to my connect to wifi startup issues, but it did help get rid of a startup error (since I am not using eth0). Note: you don't need to enable dhcpcd for wlan0 because wicd handles that automatically.

To get ntp working right for me I used wicd scripts to make wicd a prereq for ntpd. I created one script that starts ntpd on connect and another that stops it when about to disconnect:
1) created /etc/wicd/scripts/postconnect/openntpd-start.sh with the following content:
2) 'chmod 755 /etc/wicd/scripts/postconnect/openntpd-start.sh' to make it runnable.
3) create /etc/wicd/scripts/predisconnect/openntpd-stop.sh with the following content:
4) 'chmod 755 /etc/wicd/scripts/predisconnect/openntpd-stop.sh' to make it runnable.
5) 'systemctl disable openntpd' to make it so openntpd doesn't autostart at startup anymore, since wicd now manages it.

To get timezones matching my timezone I created a symlink from /etc/localtime to my zone info:
1) found my timezone in the /use/share/zoneinfo directory structure. Mine was '/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Detroit'.
2) rm /etc/localtime
3) ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Detroit /etc/localtime

The  I rebooted.

All was well (mostly). wicd takes longer to get connect then I would hope (takes a minute or two after boot). Once up though, I can connect remotely without issue and 'date' looks good.

Try having a go with "sudo wicd-curses".  That is Arch's native 'network gui' thing and it works REALLY well and is very flexible and easy to drive.

Good stuff, that means that Yes, MinePeon will be supporting it .
