Be sure your PSU can provide enough power.
A cube consume ~200W (280W overclocked).
If you use an ATX PSU you have to connect PS_ON to ground
("Masse" in the pic below) to turn on the power supply.
Go to the Command Prompt ("win key" +
"r", type "cmd" [ENTER]) type
"ipconfig" [ENTER]
This will show your network information.
If your IP address is in the
192.168.1.xxx range (and you have a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0)
connect the cube to your network and go directly to 3.
if not --> 2.1
Open your networksetting and change your
IP address to something in the 192.168.178.xxx range,
but not to the cube's address (.254). Connect the cube directly to your
PC:
If you dont know how to change your IP click here.
Or use netsetman
open 192.168.1.254:8000 in your browser, you should see this:
Now enter values, according to your
homenetwork:
IP: cube's static IP, be sure it is in
your network range. If the IP from your router is 192.168.178.1 for
example,
use an IP from the 192.168,178.xxx range. Use a high number (but
<254) to minimize the possibilty that your router's DHCP server
has given the IP already to another device.
Mask: 255.255.255.0 should fit most home
networks
Gateway: insert the IP of your router (the gateway IP from 2)
WEB Port: you can change this to 80
Primary DNS: insert the IP of your router (the gateway IP from 2)
Secondary DNS: optional
If you want to point the cube directly to
a pool be sure the pool
support getwork.
For best results we recommend to use a local stratum proxy (see 4.)
You have to enter two values below, seperated by a comma
Pool Ports: port1,port2
Pool addresses: pool1,pool2
Miners user:psw: user1:psw1,user2:psw2
click: "Update/Restart"
If the update was sucessfull you get:
"The parameters are updated or the system is simply restarted! 625"
If your cube is connected directly with
your PC (2.1)
connect the cube now to your network and undo the changes in your
networksettings.
Open the new IP in your browser and watch it start hashing :-)
We recommend to use a Raspberry Pi with MinePeon, see 4.3 for other options.
Download the latest Version of minepeon
and unzip it:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/minepeon/files/latest/download?source=files
Download and install the latest Version
of Win32DiskImager to write
the image to a SD card
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
Select the MinePeon.img image file,
select your SD card drive letter
(double check this!) --> Write.
Eject the card from your computer, insert into the Raspberry Pi,
connect it to your network and power it on.
check your router for recently attached
devices to find out the IP
of your MinePeon.
Enter the IP address into your web browser. Login in with
user: minepeon
psw: peon
Due to MinePeon using a self certified certificate you will get warnings, ignore them.
set the correct timezone --> Save
scroll down to "Miner Startup Settings" --> click "Default bfgminer"
add " http-port 8330" to the last row in the setting box above -->
Save
by default minepeon donates ~1% of the
hashing power of the
developer.
(it changes the pool for 15 minutes a day)
If you do not want this, you can turn it off/reduce it here.
But please support the developer.
Use MinePeon's IP and port 8332 in the
cube config page.
For every differnt user bfgminer will ad another device. So if you
have more than one cube, use different usernames to get separate
statistics in MinePeon.
You can find more infos about minepeon here: http://minepeon.com
You can use bfgminer without minepeon.

The proxy function is enabled in the linux and win32 build
or you can use slush's proxy, but we
recommend bfgminer.
