USB Miners on HiveOS or other OS

Hey miners!

I have a quick question, i’ve been searching online about this but seems i’m the only one wondering?lol

I have some FutureBit Moonlander 2 and GekkoScience 2pac and NewPac laying around and i’m making this a Father-Daughter project where i would like to solo mine with these. I have all the hardware needed to mine with them, but out of curiosity i was wondering if HiveOS or any other mining OS would recognize the USB Miners and use them as if they were normal ASICS or GPUs that were connected to the computer…?

I have an extra RPI4 laying around that i could use, but if i can just setup another GPU mining rig and have the usb miners connected to it aswell it would make for an awesome little mixed rig.

Thanks for your time and feel free to tag me in the comments, i’ll make sure to keep an eye on every comment for interesting conversations!

cheers!

I think you have to use windows for USB miners, according to the setup procedure. They use CGminer and they install it on windows.

they can be used with CGMiner on Linux aswell so that’s why i was wondering if it would work haha Thanks for your reply!

Hi,

I managed to install the cgminer for nerdaxe ultimate v1 usb asci miner. I did connect with webshell dont use ssh I did try it but didnot work.
Goto your webshell login as user and run the build code.

For nerdaxe this info can be found on

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev \
libjansson-dev libncurses5-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev zlib1g-dev git -y

git clone https://github.com/nerdaxe/cgminer-nerdaxe.git

cd cgminer-nerdaxe
sudo usermod -a -G dialout,plugdev $USER
sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" ./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-nerdaxe
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

This worked for me then in the webshell I run

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://sha256-eu.unmineable.com:3333 -u RVN:xxxxxx -p x --nerdaxe-wait-factor 1 --nerdaxe-freq 350 --nerdaxe-usb-detect --nerdaxe-start-freq 250

It works great only I cannot get it to work like a custom miner like cpu miner when you login again in the webshell your output on the screen for the miner is gone I tryed miner but I cannot switch to the active screen of the miner.

If you manage to get it working as custom miner I would be very happy
