Ok, I got home and I SSH into Minera and looked at dmesg.
I see both 1-1: New USB device found and also 1-1.2: New USB device found. So I assume it is seeing the miner.
It says that BFGminer is online but it does not hash. The dials for everything just sit there and spin.
I'm not sure I have BFGminer setup correctly. And as I said earlier I have no idea how to compile CGminer.
So still not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

For Bfgminer, check you are mining WITHOUT the --scrypt option you have to mine in SHA256 not scrypt.

For Cgminer, SSH into Minera and:

Code:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer
cd cgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-blockerupter 
make
sudo make install
cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/

I needed to move my 2 AM Tubes from an office to the basement (wife said they were to loud). So I needed some way to make them wireless, Minera seemed like the answer!
but being relatively new to using Minera, I'm having some trouble getting Minera to connect to the tubes. I have the newest Minera build on a rpi B, I am connected to the rpi with the usb-uart adapter. I have tried both CGminer and BFGminer and neither of them work, is there something I am doing wrong or something I didnt do. I thought that CGminer would work for the tubes but I am not sure. Any help would be great! Thank You

First of all you should look at the dmesg log when you plug-in the USB cable:

- SSH into Minera
- plug-in one Tube
- do "sudo dmesg" and look if something happened (you should see something like "usb 1-1: New USB device found, etc...")

Then if USB are correctly detected you should need to configure the miner:

for Bfgminer it should work, you can try to look at this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-dogies-comprehensive-asicminer-tube-setup-hd-769570

for Cgminer according to the readme you need to recompile it with the "--enable-blockerupter" option (this is not in the default cgminer on Minera) https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/ASIC-README

I will try to see if something happens when I plug it in but I can't try until I get back home from work. Also I have no idea how to recompile CGMiner is there somewhere that explains this process?

I'm trying to use MultiMiner to monitor my Minera setup that is running on my network. I also have an AntMiner S3+ running separately on the same network.

MultiMiner detects the AntMiner but not the Minera.

Is there something in Minera I need to do so that MultiMiner detects it?

Thanks.

As Axiste/Nwoolls said you need to use bf/cgminer as preferred software (CPUminer hasn't this option), then you need to setup the "Allow API" section in the settings page adding your LAN network address like "W:192.168.0.0/24".

This should enable MultiMiner to detect Minera too.

I can go into more depth here, as I am currently doing this.

For minera to show up as a network device on Multiminer, you need to be using either BFGMiner or CGMIner (or an equivalent). CPUMiner does not have the option to push the api across the network (so far as I can see, due to the lack of options available when CPUMiner is selected).

Just piping in from a MultiMiner point-of-view to help Michelem understand & answer the question: MultiMiner will detect any miner on the network as long as its RPC API is enabled. So this should be a matter of enabling the RPC API in the miner that Minera launches.

Hey michelem, how can I check and see what frequency my miner is operating at?
I have a modest one (R-Box) and I used the --rock-freq parameter for setting the clock on it as per the instructions in cgminer, but I'm not sure whether or not it actually worked. It seems to have, since my hash rate bumped 2GHs but I am also wanting to see if I can bump up the clock further up from 290.

You should ask to cgminer author, Minera just looks at the RPC API stats ("Raw stats" button on dashboard) for the frequency value, if it can't find this it throws a "not available".

Also, you could try with bfgminer, may be it can give you the freq info, the option should be:

Code:

--set rockminer:clock=290

But as I said for cgminer, best check could be ask in the relative forum thread.

Is there a way to set miners to solo mine?

You only need a working wallet daemon running on your LAN, then point your Minera pool to it.

Something like this: http://www.miningpools.info/solo-mining/

I strongly suggest to not put the wallet daemon in the Minera raspberry because it needs a lot of disk space and it writes a lot on the SD Card (you can get it corrupted easily).

Hello can we monitor some antminer s5 or s3 with this ? And if yes what the way i need to take for configure.

THanks

Minera doesn't support hardware without an USB connection, if you know how to setup an Antminer Sx without using their built-in dashboard, please let me know.

You can run the Antminer Ux models with Minera, those have USB connection.

Just the first day with my new Raspberry B+ and Minera but it is pretty cool, thanks for that nice peace of Software! Cool

All runs fine but the only thing I didn't find out is how to setup the Frequenz for my "New R-Box"
Also in my Miner Details on the Dashboard I can only see "n.a.MHz"
I don't want to complain cause it already runs with 115Gh/s and near 9% Errors (is this ok?)
Can somebody just give me a little hint working with CGminer 4.x Official

Thanks in advance

hy
i want to use minera with a gridseed gblade and raspberry, do you know if it possible to manage load-balance and 12 or 16 pool at the same time, usually with cgminer i can is the same with minera?

could raspberry use the wifi with minera?

New here. This looks really promising, I just think I have one more hurdle to get over. I am having trouble getting my miner online I tried the build miner command but I get permission denied. Please help, thanks!

edit: interesting I left the system on and after some wait everything was all of a sudden connected and online but my miner isn't working

Welcome! If you are posting about problems it's always a good idea add info like: hardware used, miner software used (bfgminer/cgminer/etc).
That said, can you give us the permission denied error? It looks weird, you should be able to build a miner with:

Code:

cd /var/www/minera
./build_miner.sh

This command must be run by "minera" user.

If you still have issues please look at the miner logs too, you can find it in the bottom of the dashboard.

I'm using a RPI B+ with wheezy. Looks like it was my USB hub that didn't work. I tried another and it works fine only problem I have now is when run it with 'superuser' enabled the Red Fury works but the U2's dont and when its disabled its vise versa. The only software I got to work was cgminer. I am using a Etekcity USB Hub it seems like it the miners are not working at full capacity.
