custom miner shows offline

No it isn't, please check the miner logs and let me see it.
Gonna have to wait. OS updates require that I reinstall everything. Maybe it will even fix this error. I'll let you know tomorrow. It's bedtime here.
I wonder if this next install will rewrite my ssh keys again. Grr.
How do you start it? Via Minera or manually?
The cpuminer? I start via minera. Installing minera ruins my ability to ssh from terminal, which is how I manage the rest of machine. I probably will not reinstall for that reason.
I just discovered that tprovot/cpuminer-multi, since 1.0.8, has had an API for monitoring (defaults to 127.0.0.1:4048). I assume I need to set the IP and port numbers to a range Minera looks for? Will it be the same as for bfgminer and others?
I will probably reinstall and test this out if I can figure out how/where to publish the API in a way Minera can monitor it. As for ssh keys, I'll figure something out. It bothers me a lot that Minera overwrites my existing key but it's not the end of the world. I won't do this today (probably) but I'll let you know what I discover.
I think it uses a different way to get API requests but I'm unable to test it because I'm living abroad for the next months.
Hello,
I have investigated this and I can confirm cpuminer-multi
works fine on Minera but you have to configure it.
First of all, JSON file doesn't work I don't know why probably it want a different format, so disable it from Minera and put your miner command on Manual Options textarea like this:
-o stratum+tcp://<pool_url>:<pool_port> -u <pool_user> -p x --api-bind=127.0.0.1:4028
Note! You have also to use the option --api-bind
because it runs by default on port 4048
while Minera get by default port 4028
, this is why you didn't see anything in the dashboard.
Please let me know.
Oh well RPI cpu isn't so good to ask it a lot of things to do, yes better to put Minera in a desktop or server.
