I have three pointed here now: http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.alienesbstick

Nothing special, just "stock" settings.

For a little bit, just letting all 5 sticks point here.

http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jake36stick

Got some running around to do, then I will play with the Pi/raspbian some more, I think I might have forgot a step in the build Embarrassed

, so 1 more try and if it don't work, minera is all ready on a sd and will start playing with it.

windows 10 has been harder still trying to get more then 2 sticks to work on a hub.

I will let you know how the RPI install goes hopefully monday. Once I get it I at least wont keep dropping from network.

After I get my production stick and a few more U3's I should be set up for my little solo mining.

which rpi I only have the newest model

I went with the original B model as I had good luck with it in ~~future~~ past. If it turns out to not be enough I will order a RPI 2.

I also have a windows machine that is almost always on, so that is kinda last resort.

Tired of setting up the sticks.
Tomorrow I will try bfgminer

I am surprised that the w-7 in the VMware fusion shell is doing the best 5 sticks.

And a mess at my house. rained like a mofo. So post office hands me a large box not wet from sidehack and co.

inside it is a drenched crushed box in which they pull the address off and glued it to the bigger box.

So I open the second box and 20 sticks are in it they seem to be okay.

I have been playing with 3 pc's

2 have windows 10 one has windows 7

the windows 7 is on a vmware fusion shell in a mac mini. it is running 3 sticks.

on my address at ckpool

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

Quote from: Jake36 on September 12, 2015, 04:31:39 PM

Thanks, that was one of the first things I tried, figure it would be easy, LOL. Even done lot's of edits to where the only thing left was "compc-freq" :150.

youre most welcome.

that .conf I posted has had stuff in there since, well, forever ago. since cgminer is so stable I just tended to modify the conf here and there and then ignore it for months. if I didnt modify something, I just left it for the most part even if I thought it wasnt needed. I think I cleaned most of the GPU stuff out a while back though.

been about a year since I mined with anything but a blockerupter. gonna have to go through the cgminer README again and see whats what.

hopefully youll get it sorted out soon.

Stick back on. Debian is not liking my setup. Sorry if it falls out.

I will have a RPI (should be monday) to run it more stable.

This is already on the to do list (already downloaded from your link), Thanks for the conf, it put's me one step closer.

Yes, I like to tinker, but sooner or later, it's time to throw the towel in, which is getting close LOL.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

Note that if you go the Minera route, you don't need the above config. Minera makes the config file for you.

All you have to do is this:

Copy the image to your SD card
Boot your Pi
Log into the Minera web page (assuming you know your Pi's IP address)
Add your pools
Add the --balance option (if you want load balancing of pools instead of fail over), and remove the donation pool
Press the "Save and Restart" button

That's all there is to it, although there's extra stuff you can do if you want, like changing your passwords or personalize the GUI.

cgminer-gekko won't write a cgminer.conf file (comes out blank), so been trying to do a script to start it and add 5 pools in balanced, so it would point 1 stick here and 4 at another. But so far, all I can do is get it to start with all 5 pointed here, then I have to type to add the others.

In case it's helpful, here's my command line and config file (pulled straight out of minera).

First the command line. Note that your paths will be different, and you'd have to decide if you want to use "screen" or not.:

Code:

/usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer-gekko /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/cgminer-gekko --compac-freq 150 --balance -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json

And the config file contents (replace with your other pool URLs and worker addresses):

Code:

{
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-allow": "W:127.0.0.1",
    "pools": [
        {
            "url": "stratum+tcp:\/\/solo.ckpool.org:3333",
            "user": "REPLACE_WITH_OTHER_WORKER_ADDRESS",
            "pass": "x"
        },
        {
            "url": "stratum+tcp:\/\/solo.ckpool.org:3333",
            "user": "1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.edonkeystick",
            "pass": "x"
        }
    ]
}

Not much to it, really.

Of course, you could just use Minera and have it work out of the box, including starting at boot, auto starting if the miner crashes, and a nice web GUI for stats. But maybe that's less fun than tinkering.

use a conf file generated by a stock cgminer and modify it, or just make one from scratch.

at least novaks build is fine using my old stock cgminer conf files I had previously used. only thing I changed in the conf file was adding another pool and worker to point to the solo club address, then adding --balance and --compac-freq 170 to the command line in the .bat file I use.

EDIT here is my conf file (for windows).. I have no idea if the stuff below the API stuff is still used some of the stuff probably dates back to GPU days.

Code:

{
"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333",
                "user" : "1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.vapourminerstick",
                "pass" : "pw"
        }
,{
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333",
                "user" : "my-ck-solo-only-addy-here",
                "pass" : "pw"
        }
		],
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4029",
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.0/24",
"expiry" : "120",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

Didn't check on to the board until a few minutes ago and heres this.

Going to try and point a stick there now!

EDIT: looks like it's there.

http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jake36stick

Update, still got something wrong with the Pi/Raspbian and the gekko driver. Will try again shortly, if it don't work this time, will switch to the Minera one.

maybe you need a powered hub.

Back to running.

I'm running on this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plugable-USB-2-0-7-Port-High-Speed-Hub-with-60W-Power-Adapter-and-Smart-Charg-/251814383267?hash=item3aa14e8ea3
I forgot that I had it.

So only trying to run them at freq 150 for now and 5 sticks are the only thing on hub.

It's not "only usb sticks" its a pool club for owner of the sidehack's compac stick. The goal is to promote sidehack's product by giving an incentive to people to get one and some sort of reward/fun for owners.
