#CGMINER. CODE#

This code is provided entirely free of charge by the programmer in his spare time so donations would be greatly appreciated. Then from there, you can continue following the compilation according to adafruit which is tar xvf cgminer-3.6.1.tar.bz2Īnd then make a pool. This is a multi-threaded multi-pool FPGA and ASIC miner for bitcoin. Well, enough time has passed, and I found out that they are up with v3.6.1 which we downloaded. I was having problems actually reading the data that was coming down from many of the pools and it turned out that cgminer is too old (This is because at the time the suggested 3.1.1 as there were interface issues ASIC mining. It supports both pooled and solo Bitcoin mining. I not only did not want to output to screen because I telnet into my Pi and I just use the “screen” command to minimize it in the background whenever I log out. CGMiner is an open source graphical frontend for mining Bitcoins. In 3-4-6 months, I might not only pay for the ASIC block eruptor but the Raspberry Pi itself!įollowing Adafruits entry on bitcoin mining. But it’s one more thing for my Pi to do, and who knows. We’re not overly serious about Bitcoin and also are fully aware that the hash rate I am running at is pathetic now that ASIC miners are everywhere. We decided to out my Pi to work on getting me bitcoin currency. Because it runs on a 24/7 basis that means that I’m pissing 3 watts of power non-stop. CGMiner is an open source ASIC/FPGA miner written in C, cross platform for Linux, Windows and OS X, and including support and binaries for RPi, OpenWrt routers. My Raspberry Pi runs almost 24/7 with some of the projects that we’ve done in the past such as OpenSIM and installing Airplay onto it so that we can send music to the amplifier to my living room and even running some P2P programs to get my latest Linux distros faster.
