help with mobileminer

Eric Stein

Hi ya'll - 1st off - great software

I have a jalapeno and a SC hooked up via USB and mining great - I want to monitor the setup with my mobile miner software - but can't get it to show anything.

It says it will show the output of the API window - but i can't get that to show anything either!

It says add a networked device with IP and Port.... ummm....

How do I find that if I just use the regular mac miner software? I just put in my slushs pool info and go - I don't have an IP and port for this...

So once I figure out how to add a networked miner as it says or at least get the api window showing info then maybe it will show on my mobileminer app?

Thanks for your help!

Once that is done, I'd love to know if I can monitor my 2 antminer s1's as well... but for now want to get the macminer software api window showing output and get mobile miner working to monitor.

Thanks!

Eric Stein

ok, restarted computer and working now!

awesome

so now - how can I add in my 2 antminer s1's that are on my network to the api window or to my mobile miner?

OldTimer

At the top left hand corner of the API View window, you will see the text "Add Networked Minor", click on the text and a dialog will popup for you to enter the IP address of your AntMiner S1, so enter that with the port at the end after a colon, e.g. 192.168.1.99:4028, then click on the "Apply" button.  Re-open the API View and the AntMiner S1 should appear soon.

HTH

Thank you thank you!

Does anyone use multiminer? That looks pretty cool too.

I am trying to get P2Pool running on my mac...

I'm stuck here on this page:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64329.0

Where it says:

Download the latest source from the P2Pool thread. Extract the file. Run Terminal.

I am assuming where it says Download the latest source, its talking about one of these:

Windows binary: http://u.forre.st/u/wftncvpn/p2pool_win32_13.4.zip
Windows binary signature: http://u.forre.st/u/eoietnxc/p2pool_win32_13.4.zip.sig
Source zipball: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/zipball/13.4
Source tarball: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/tarball/13.4

But which one for mac? zipball? tarball? wtf?

THANKS!

Eric Stein

OK, I got the zip ball and got a little further...

Now I am stuck here:

After I save the bitcoin.conf file, restart bitcoin, then type run the python command in terminal it says:

Bitcoin configuration file not found. Manually enter your RPC password.

If you actually haven't created a configuration file, you should create one at /Volumes/MonkData/monk/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf with the text:

server=1

rpcpassword=592eef2d07bb261ad3d3050b95707879

I then, tried to close bitcoin, enter that password as the .conf file password, restart bitcoin and then run the python command again and exact same thing happens, but it gives me a different password...

what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Eric Stein

Please let me know if this is ok to post those p2pool questions here - I just wanna get the thing running so I dont' have to rely on other pools...

Thanks

Eric Stein

I am trying everything to get this working... tried putting in terminal:

python run_p2pool.py -a 19bnA27MErrmj2fMUzZRW7VbufkbkaCZ74 PRCUser RPCPass

and it did:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /Volumes/MonkData)

Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

it looks like the problem you're having is

the username is entered wrong?

Eric Stein

hey Thanks for your reply!

I gave up on the p2pool for now - I have to do some more research on it, sure I could get it hooked up in the future...

I know I can google this, but is basically p2pool just everyone together that doesn't want to join a big pool? so we get paid direct BTC from the source?

You're right about P2Pool, unfortunately it does have imperfections but it helps keep mining open. When you mine with P2Pool it's more like solo mining than with most pools, and the payouts show up in the wallet as mining income.
