I was having issues running Minepeon 0.2.3a with CGminer and the USB Block Erupters. If I ran more than 12 Erupters (on three powered D-Link DUB-H7's), CGminer would crash my Raspi Pi. Tried to switch to BFGMiner, but could never get it working.
    
    Decided to try Minepeon 0.2.4PR2 and loaded the BFGminer config file. This time Minepeon is running BFGminer with 23 USB Block Erupters on 4 D-Link hubs without a hicckup for almost 9 hrs. Only thing I lost is my LCD output to my AdaFruit LCD and LCD Systems Info screens

Something very strange happened half hour ago...

I got 2 new USB Block Erupters and inserted them in 2 HUB's that already were being using to mine. Both stayed lighted. I did a reboot to the RPI affected. The bfgminer didn't started. I removed the 60 seconds sleep time... nothing... Transferred both Gizmos to the second RPI. The same. No bfgminer again after a reboot. Without the 2 new Gizmos, the first RPI didn't restarted bfgminer. Tried cgminer default and reboot. Nothing. Finally I did a reboot to the third RPI. bfgminer didn't started. Several restarts and the 3 RPI's have the same problem. No miner starts.

The 3 RPI had the last version of Arch and MinePeon, from 2 or 3 hours earlier.

I had to go back to MinePeon 0.2.4 PR1. With this old version, bfgminer started at the 3 RPI's and all 46 Gizmos are working again (with the 1970-01-01 problem).

What could be wrong, Neil?

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Actually minepeon os base is arch linux and people have had success with USB 3.0 on minepeon it is the raspbian os that has issues. Also the orico USB hub isn't a cheap one. It is a good quality hub.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong in the above that is just from what I have read.

I stand corrected then I just thought I had seen Kano post that he was using a USB 3.0 hub with minepeon.

Has anyone else ran into an issue with some pools where it'll accept shares for about 15 mins then it stops.  Minepeon shows mining happening but non of the pools I have programmed are getting them.  Bitminter and BTCguild work great but recentley I started mining on GHash.io and that's one pool I'm having problems.  Also Coinotron mining PPC.

Ideas?

Check the settings page, you can change the miner there .  (and set parameters if you want)


Soon

Upgraded to PR2 and seems to be running smoothy now.

I have now successfully received some emails from the Peon, so disregard the above. On the other hand, Gmail put them in my spam folder, and SMTP Auth might help with that. Actually, now that I look more closely, the email appears to have no 'To:' address, as if it's been BCC'ed - possibly it would help to fill that in? Perhaps this is because I entered into the Peon control panel the from address where the to address should be? I wasn't sure what should go in the box, because it just says 'email address' and not 'from' or 'to'. I think my ISP forces the from address to be a particular thing, so perhaps the 'to' address has been dropped by being the same.

Sorry about being a bit pedantic about how I want it to work, pear SMTP is already loaded and being used, plus it also makes adding on hooks for other types of alerts easy.
