GekkoScience NewPac, GekkoScience 2Pac and RockMiner New R-Box on Raspberry Pi (Minera)

Hi,

This is my first post.

Was up in the attic, and found my RockMiner New R-Box that I was using before :)
And wanted to try building a Raspberry Pi mini home mining farm.

I aslo have some GekkoScience 2Pac, and bought some GekkoScience NewPac.

Hardware:

• Sipolar 10 Port USB 2.0 Hub 5V 20 Amp
• Gekkoscience 7 Port USB Hub 2.0
• EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G3, 80 Plus Gold 1000W
• ARCTIC Breeze Mobile USB-Powered 92mm Portable Fan
• USB fan fra China
• ENERMAX T.B. SILENCE PWM FAN 120MM
• 5 GekkoScience 2Pac
• 5 GekkoScience NewPac
• RockMiner New R-Box
• Raspberry Pi

Also have a Futurebit Apollo LTC Pod Scrypt ASIC Miner that I bought to have in my office.

Setup:

Download Minera:
https://getminera.com/

And write it to Raspberry Pi SD-card.

• If you are on Windows you can use Win32DiskImager
• If you are on a Mac OS X you can use ApplePi-Baker
• If you are on Linux you can use ImageWriter or the command line below
  dd bs=4M if=minera-latest.img of=/dev/your-sd-card

Github:

Then you need to install cgminer with correct drivers for the GekkoScience NewPac, GekkoScience 2Pac and RockMiner New R-Box.

When you have installed Minera, start the Raspberry Pi, and find the IP.
Then go in your browser and type:
http://<your-controller-ip>/minera/
Default password: minera

When you are on Minera, in the left menu click on "System". And the click on "Open terminal".
Then type in terminal:

• cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin/src

• sudo apt-get update

• sudo apt-get upgrade -y

• sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev screen libtool automake pkg-config libjansson-dev

• sudo mkdir -p git/vthoang; cd git/vthoang

• sudo git clone https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git

• cd cgminer

• sudo CFLAGS="-O2" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko --enable-icarus

• make -j 2

• cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/cgminer-vthoang

• cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom

• exit

Shutdown Raspberry Pi, and plug in miners you want to use.

When miners are connected to the Raspberry Pi, power it up.

• Log into Minera. (http://<your-controller-ip>/minera/)

• In the left menu, click on Settings then Custom Miners.

• Enable your custom miner, cgminer-vthoang.

• Under Local Miner Settings, select your custom miner, cgminer-vthoang. Enable logging and Append JSON conf.

• Under Pools Settings, configure your pool. Make sure your new pool is the first option by dragging it above or removing the donation pool. (You must have a wallet and a pool account for the coin you’re going to mine. (ex. solo.ckpool.org, ckpool.org, SlushPool, TheCoin.pw, etc.)
  Or you can mine solo to own node :)

Aften you have the settings you want, reboot Minera.

If you want to try solo mining, this site is fun:
