nano-service is an example of building a platform that allows rapid deployment of web application code. The server-side script that runs is written in JavaScript, and executes in the context of the request, returning the evaluated result.

Using a Raspberry Pi to Mine LiteCoins

In this tutorial I assume that you already know about LiteCoin, and have already signed up to a mining pool. If not, probably best go start reading here.

To begin, lets install the latest Raspbian image on to your SD card from here. I use Win32DiskImager for this:

Now we boot up the pi and run through the initial setup steps. We could skip this part, but you may want to run through the steps to expand your SD card and/or overclock your pi. Be warned: overclocking may shorten the life of your pi.

After logging in to the command line, first make sure our distro is running the latest and greatest software by running the following commands

sudo apt-get update

Then…

sudo apt-get upgrade

Agree to the prompt to make changes. Go and make a cup of tea while this runs, it won't be quick.

Some time later, when we have a command prompt back, we need to install the pre-requisites we need:

sudo apt-get install make automake build-essential git libcurl4-openssl-dev

Agree to the prompt to continue. You may already have some of these (git for instance), which is fine.

Now we need to get the source code from Github:

git clone git://github.com/pooler/cpuminer.git
cd cpuminer

We now have the cpuminer source, so now we build it

./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make

This should compile the source code into the binary we need to run. Note that the CFLAGS="-O3" option is the capital letter O for Orange, not zero.

Now we can run the miner. Provide your pool url and username/password and off you go:

./minerd --url=<pool url> --user=<username> --pass=<password> -–debug

I have specified the debug flag here in order to diagnose if there are any issues. You may want to leave that out if you're feeling confident.

You should now see something like this:



As you can see, the hash rate is barely worth the effort. Even with the low power usage of the Raspberry Pi, you will be spending far more in electricity than you will gain in LiteCoins. If you have some solar panels or other free electricity source then this may become viable, but really you’d be better off selling the electricity!

Visual Studio Remote Debugging

I had some problems today getting Visual Studio to connect to the Remote Debugging tool (MSVSMON.exe) running on an ASP.NET application server. The error message I received when I clicked on “Debug” –> “Attach to Process…” was along the lines of:

The Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be running on the remote computer.

…even though I definitely was running MSVSMON on the server via an RDP session. There were no firewalls enabled on either machine, or sitting on the network between us.

In order to resolve this I shared my locally installed version of MSVSMON over the network so that it could be accessed by the server in question and ran the tool directly from the share. Once I had done this I had no problems connecting. Typically MSVSMON can be found in the “<Visual Studio Install Directory>\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger” folder in both x64 and x86 flavours.

10 Things I Learnt Watching A Video About 10 Things Paul Irish Learnt From The jQuery Source

Great, if slightly quirky, video from Paul Irish. Some good points about IIFE’s and jQuery selector performance.

I’ve even added a Cornify button for you to click here:

One or more types required to compile a dynamic expression cannot be found. Are you missing a reference?

Just had an issue trying to use a dynamic object in a .NET test project – at build time I had the compiler error:

One or more types required to compile a dynamic expression cannot be found. Are you missing a reference?

In the end all I had to do was reference “Microsoft.CSharp” from my test project.
