guys:
I have a few really, REALLY basic problems. If this is the wrong place for them, please point me in the right direction.
I'm putting together a bitcoin rig for fun out of stuff I have around the house (mostly).
1 RP 3
1 ANKER 7 port powered USB hub
1 gekkoscience 2pac exploder
I have the ANKER plugged into a wall outlet and the Gekko 2pac plugged into that. The indicator light is glowing a cheery green.
I downoaded minepeon and sent it over to my microSD. I checked the directory, and it is shown below. The PI is getting power, and the indicator LED is red. I have a cable running from my PI to my (netgear) router.
I'm at the point where I have to find the IP address of the pi so that I can direct it to my pool (I'm using slushpool). My first problem is that when I log into the router, I can't see the PI. So I'm kind of at a standstill.
I had kind of assumed that to run the mining software, I would install it onto my PI from scratch, without an OS, that is was some kind of bianary magic that would run itself when it rfound itself in contact with the magical commands from the 2pac. Do I need to install rasbian?
Thanks in advance
