Raspberry Pi - Mining with MinePeon

[jafc76]

I currently have a SC on my PI with no hub and its working. the hash varies slightly between 59GH and 63GH. Since I only have one device and it draws it power from the wall I didn't think it cared about the power it got from the PI. Is there any reason I should use a hub?

So what I was thinking is correct, you don't need a hub. The Pi should work fine, the SC is getting only the signal of the USB, not powering anything, that's exactly the same if you use a Hub so no difference. Without hub is better, simple and less parts so more reliable.

If the device is getting power from the wall then yes I would agree that no hub should be necessary. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to plug in a whole bunch of miners at the same time ;

Any suggestions on the best wifi adapter to use with minepeon would be much appreciated. Preferably one that works out of the box with minepeon. Thanks again.

I used an Edimax that worked out of the box for about 2.5 months before it broke due to overheating. I replaced it with a TP-Link which used to work out of the box, but I got a newer revision which requires a 3rd party driver install. They were both extremely cheap.

How do I get to the screen that shows the hashrates of the various usb devices connected to the Pi? I did it before, but I can't remember how. Also, how do you get out of that page and get back to a command prompt?

I'm running headless. No monitor/keyboard/mouse. accessing it via https over my internal network. only thing hooked to it is the network cable and a jalapeno merrily minting 0.0054BTC per day whilst consuming barely 11 cents in electricity.

I setup minepeon with a btc single yesterday , It detects the wifi network with wicd-curses (I followed the tutorial) , but when I reboot it doesn't boot on the wifi dongle . How do I set up minepeon to connect with wlan when itstarts up automatically ?

Tdonnell, Take a look here: WiFi - MinePeon

I followed this exactly and have zero issues with my Edimax on the rPi out of the box.

I find that 4G is optimal size SD card, I have had problems with larger cards.

I also am having difficulty with my wifi reconnecting after a reboot. i followed all the instructions from the earlier post. But when I reboot, it does not automatically reboot. When I go into wicd-curses, all my settings are still there, but I have to manually reconnect again. Any thoughts on what my problem might be?
