You short the green wire with a ground wire, this will show you how You need to use a bit of wire to short two pins in your power supply.

If both sides of the miner have green lights turn on and the fan starts, wonderful! You're on your way. Plug your power supply into the wall/power strip.

#Raspberry pi cgminer find full#

6+2 also fits, I use the full 8 pins because why not. You need 2 6 pin PCIE power sources per miner. Plug the power into your miner(s), keep the power supply off for now. The fun part where you feel like you're getting somewhere. If this gives you any errors, just close your terminal window and reopen it so it brings you back to your default directory.

#Raspberry pi cgminer find install#

>$ sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev Now let's make sure we have what we need for the custom cgminer to run. >sudo git fetch -all & sudo git reset -hard origin/master & sudo. This one is moving your directory to your minera directory In your terminal window type these, in this order Now supposedly Minera comes with most of these correctly installed, but let's make sure:

#Raspberry pi cgminer find download#

You don't need to download anything, or click any files, you just enter a command into the terminal window and it will do it all for you, and clean it up too. There is also a terminal window from your Minera web interface you can use if you prefer, but the Bitvise one is much better.ĭownloading your dependencies and getting everything up to dateĪ few things for you to run through before actually starting your miner, and this is where linux and raspberry pis and github is really cool and useful.

#Raspberry pi cgminer find update#

You'll know if you didn't do it correctly cause it'll give you some error codeĪnd you must do that every time you update the miner version, unless you do a git pull to update the software as Soleo is now including the permissions on git pulls. Pick your SD card (represented in a A:/B:/C: drive style format) sudo chmod a+x /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/cgminername/ Plug in your SD card reader - insert the SD card Install Bitvise SSH - just leave this for now, you'll need it though Specs of the miner - 320W or so, 500Mhash X11 ASIC miner.Ī lot of details are borrowed from with some updates from myselfĬhecklist all done? Ready with your pi and sd card? Ready to actually do something with your miner LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE We split the payouts besides that, which lead to me having to do some experimentation to get them all working as multiple units on a pi are not 'officially' supported by Pinidea at this point in time. Several of my friends purchased some as well and I offered to run it for them as long as they pay for the electricity. Some information before I go on further: The pinidea miner was limited to 1 per person at launch. I mean you could do it all for fun with just a pi if you like.

HDMI monitor is a plus, but (probably) not required A bigger power supply can take care of multiple miners if desired. A power supply capable of supplying at least 400W - Again only needed for the DR-1. This isn't the model I have, I went to Fry's because I'm impatient. A USB type B cable (The weird one printers use) - This is only for the DR-1 miner. You can pick these up for about $10 online, or a laptop or anything that can run a disk imager with an SD card plugged into it. An ethernet cord (technically may not be required as the pi3 does support wireless)į. Phone plug charger, or power strip with USB slotĮ.

A microSD card (4gb minimum, I'd say go for 8gb or more)ĭ. Latest version of the mining software by Pinidea.ī. Win 32 disk imager - this lets you burn the minera image to your SD cardĭ. Download Bitvise SSH - this will let you update and control your raspberry pi from your desktop without having to get up and attach a monitor and keyboard to itĬ. Download a copy of Minera - Start this NOW. This is also an exploration of what it takes to set up an ASIC miner when they are still relatively new, and treading some new ground.Ī. You can do some REALLY cool stuff with a simple raspberry pi. I know many people involved in steem have to be into the altcoin scene, but a lot of the time mining is as simple (or complex, really) as running a miner on a spare mobo, or even your main on your downtime. Everyone! I would like to link you to my thread on steemit showing a very indepth look at how you can start mining with the Pinidea miner using Minera
