Bitcoin miner

Bitcoin miner using ASIC Chips attached via USB (2015)

Install and configure BFGMiner

Install and build

git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

For Raspberry Pi:

sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
Add "slub_debug=FP" to the code at the end of the first line (same line)

Configure bfgminer

sudo ./bfgminer -S antminer:all -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u 0xfab1.worker1 -p xyzdu2ee --set-device antminer:freq=4F02

Add to autostart

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Add the following lines at the bottom but above "exit 0" :

cd /home/pi/PiMiner
sudo python PiMiner.py &

cd /home/pi/bfgminer
#BITCOIN.CZ
#sudo screen -S bfgminer -d -m sudo ./bfgminer -S antminer:all -o stratum.bitcoin.cz$
#CEX.IO
#sudo screen -S bfgminer -d -m sudo ./bfgminer -S antminer:all -o stratum+tcp://nl1.$
#BTC GUILD
sudo screen -S bfgminder -d -m sudo ./bfgminer -S antminer:all -o eu-stratum.bt$

Now with the following command you can access the bfgminer screen:

sudo screen -r

Kill mining task

ps aux | grep PiMiner
sudo kill <processID>
ps aux | grep bfgminer
sudo kill <processID>
