Great info here. Another relative noob (old linux user but stopped years ago). I have MinePeon (6-11-2013) running fine on my Pi and I see CGminer is already running as well (I guess that is default?). I have another couple of months wait time till my Jalapeno arrives so I'm in learning mode now but will probably pick up an Eruptor to play with.

Question - Going through the commands here:http://minepeon.com/index.php/Main_Page#Images I notice that ipconfig is not found. If that is listed on the main minepeon site, why wouldn't it be installed? Also, nmap is not there, running this command : sudo nmap -sV --open 10.1.1.0/24 -p22 | grep -B 4 Raspbrry
This is odd as everything is stock, no?

If anyone has a link, is there a recommendation for some pools that function well (or do they all) with CGMiner? (Not wanting to join the biggest for obvious reasons.)

Thanks and my first donation made to the MinePeon.com today (and I don't even have a miner yet! But on the way...)

Thank you... sorry for my oversight.  I must have missed it.

Thanks for agreeing to do this DBG, it is really appreciated.

To tell you the truth there are now so many people using MinePeon supporting it has become a part time job (one that does not pay unfortunately, not many people make use of the donation feature and seem to set it to 0 when they set their timezone).

With your help getting the wiki into shape I hope to be able to spend more time adding the features that people want (better stats for a start) and less time helping people out getting it running.  (Perhaps I will get time to do some new articles on mineforeman.com too)

Anyway, thanks.

Hi, I downloaded MinePeon-2013-06-11.zip to have a try with my CM1 and the stock autoconfig stuff doesn't seem to work - I see:

[    4.067600] systemd-udevd[76]: starting version 204
[    4.368042] systemd-udevd[76]: unknown key 'SYSFS{idProduct}' inusr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-cairnsmore.rules:1
[    4.368165] systemd-udevd[76]: invalid rule '/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-cairnsmore.rules:1'
[    4.405813] systemd-udevd[76]: specified group 'plugdev' unknown

in dmesg.

but - If I try to use the cgminer options that work on the self compiled version I made in Raspbian (similar to above, using -Sdev/ttyUSB0 -Sdev/ttyUSB1 etc) after running "modprobe ftdi_sio product=0x8350 vendor=0x0403"
I get:
   
/opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer: -S: unrecognized option

has something changed with the build of cgminer in this version?

=== from minepeon 2013-06-11==============

/opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer -help
cgminer 3.2.1
Built with bflsc bitforce icarus avalon modminer ztex mining support.


==from the one I compiled from source on raspbian (works) ================================

cgminer --help
cgminer 3.1.1
Built with icarus mining support.

has anyone managed to use raspberry with a USB 3.0 hub ?

Thanks, it will help out.  It may sound crazy but if enough people did it I could turn MinePeon into a full time job, can you imagine what I could do if I had 8+ hours a day to work on it.  You would not even notice 15 minutes off your mining time either.


Lots have changed with cgminer in the latest versions related to USB, 99.999% for the better.  Without a Cairnsmore board it makes it very hard to debug though, I don't have one and I don't think the cgminer or bfgminer people do either.

BFL and ASICMiner are very good at making sure all of the bitcoin mining developers have a 'developer version' of their hardware, perhaps someone should suggest to Enterpoint that they do the same (it is in their interest to make sure it works after all).

I knew you liked it and I wanted to be mean to you .

Seriously though, as I mentioned at the time there was a rather irritating bug with how php handles raw sockets and sessions in Arch ARM (crazy I know).  Kano (who wrote miner.php) uses sessions raw sockets to communicate with the cgminer api.  I don't use sessions and use fopen and that mysteriously was not affected and it was 2 versions on before anyone pointed out to me that miner.php was not working (I don't use miner.php and had not really counted that as part of MinePeon so it was not part of my test plans (it is now)).

Rather than back porting all the changes made to MinePeon to an older version of Arch and freezing php I decided to continue releasing versions while working on the bug.  It would have taken a lot of time to back port (and unfortunatly it took a long time to fix the bug).

Anyways, it is fixed now in unstable and I will be moving that to testing tomorrow (probably).  Once it is in testing I will rush through all of my test cases to make sure I did not break anything (again) and probably get it into production and release it some time Sunday.

I hope you guys appreciate the blood I sweat for you .

I've managed to get the graphs display useful data in the June 11 release.

As you can see from the attached picture, it's the old style (without the fancy table with miner details), just overview of the hour/day/week etc. but since it's the default webpage that I see when I visit the minepeon I'm glad it works again



looking forward to official fix from Neil though : )

You can use 'sudo wicd-cureses' from ssh or the console.
