Are you a miner also?

I used to be … but there’s no competing with China (yes, the country), the biggest miner in the world.

@Phate

I did some private mining a long time ago but its not worthwhile anymore.

What do you offer for what kind of module? :D

Here is a link to github but remember that work is still in process!

Phate

@schnep202

You are a legend…

I guess you mined in the CPU/GPU days…

I’m in a unique situation…

I have access to free power :-)

Running:
300mh Scrypt KNC Titan ASIC
4 X 40mh Scrypt Zeus ASICS
2 X Antminer 4.7th Sha S7’s
Just got an Antminer S9 - 12.9th

As soon as I get home from work I’m going to try installing your module… Excited…

How much would you consider fair to code a module?

I want some sort of module that makes it easy for people like me to get any data. Thats why i’m thinking import.io or something like it.

One module for as much data as you can find on the net.

But I may be able to adapt your module to import.o’s api… maybe lol

hmmmm frustrating… had a quick try while working…

No luck so far…

Where are the dependencies meant to be installed…

Straight to pi? In the Magic Mirror folder? Module folder?

I think this is the same reason i can’t get the iCloud module to work…

Have another attempt after work…

Cheers again… Awesome work… it looks great

Phate

I had another play around…

Pretty sure my issues is with the dependencies…

No idea whats going wrong… either installing in wrong place or errors stop me…

Phate

@schnep202

I think its node_helper issue…

What was it you changed to fix that?

Thanks again for building this

schnep202

hey @Phate

sorry for the late answer. was a bit busy these days :o

you need to install the dependencies directly in the MMM-Bitcoin folder to run the request.
hope you will get it run ;)

my problem at the beginning of writing the module was just a wrong file name of module_helper.js. yes i know, it was a bit stupid…

i started mining with some usb asic miners. if i remember it right, they had about 300Mhash each :D

a module to get any type of data would a bit complicated because you need to know what kind of fields you have in you json. a real dynamic module for any json input would be over my horizon i guess. but if i have some time, i would give it i try ;)

Phate

@schnep202

No problem at all mate… Appreciate any help at all lol

USB little blade things… I skipped that stage… Went GPU rig straight to larger ASICS… Cost a fortune at the time tho lol

My issue is installing the dependencies in the actual Bitcoin module folder… it throws an error…

I’ll try again now and see if I can copy paste the error

In case I’m doing this wrong…

Cd into module folder MMM-Bitcoin

npm install request

Phate

@Phate

I’ve tried a bunch of different ways to get the dependencies installed in the modules folder… No luck…

Keep getting:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/package.json
ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/node_helper/package.json

I’m guessing I’m still doing something wrong

I haven’t had another chance to have a play yet. Think I need a reinstall of the whole magic mirror system. Start fresh.

It occurs to me tho that I should be able to adapt you module to lookup an address balance…

I love the idea of being able to set notifications for the price… Haven’t been able to see how that works yet but I wonder if a config setting is possible where it takes the previous value and indicates the price changes compared to the new price… i.e. up or down

Again awesome job… can’t believe how quick some of you guys write these modules… lol

schnep202

Ahoi @Phate

had this problem a few weeks ago. dont remember how i fixed it :D
You can try to copy the dependency by your own to …/MMM-Bitcoin/node_modules/request/.
but i am not sure if this will work…

a comparison between to prices should not be a big problem ;)

Phate

@schnep202

I was hoping you’d say this was the case… I’ll give it a try… Seen in another thread somewhere that someone had to do that to…

See how I go…

Cheers

Phate

Nope… Still no luck…

I’ve seen the issue elsewhere so its not just me having issues with modules and dependencies…

hmmmmmmm

Phate

Ok full fresh install…

Nothing… same dependencies issue… No matter how I try and install it or copy files over…

schnep202

while working on the comparison, i found a problem with the request.
The problem is that the mirror only starts on request.

In my config i have 3 modules using request: MMM_Traffic, MMM-Bitcoin and the default newsfeed module. if i run only run one of them, they work nicely! if there is more than one, only the first module in the config gets the data. the other only try to load the content.

working with node.js is new for me, so i dont have any experience with it. i cant solve the problem by my one at this point. i hope anyone here has a solution.

BTW: Comparison works nicely^^

Phate

@schnep202

Wow your awesome…

How does the comparison work… Change of colour?

I can’t wait… Also can’t wait to see if I can adapt it to show address balances…

Something odd happening for sure… Fresh install and managed to install iCloud calendars dependencies etc no trouble…

Hopefully someone else has some hints lol
