Title: How do ** you ** run ETH-PROXY ?
Post by: Darwin84 on May 26, 2016, 07:02:55 PM
Here is a topic that isn't discussed often. Eth proxy and when and how to run it.

I'm not looking for help because I already run it, instead I'd like to get an idea of how you guys run eth proxy and at what point does it make sense to run eth proxy on it's own and for what numbers of miners.

With one or two miners running EP on each server makes sense. But what about after 3-6 or let's say 20 miners. Does it makes sense to run one proxy and point all local miners to it ?  How do you guys do it and what is a safe number of miners to point at one proxy.

I'll start off by explaining how I do it.

At home I run two miners with their own EP each and a third miner which is just a test box doesn't run EP and points to Miner 1 for access.  At another location up north where I have a couple of hundred MH/S and poor internet access I'm running them 2 for 1 but would like to change that as it grows.

So let's hear from people on how you run EP with your rigs.

I believe you only need to run 1instance of proxy per computer your running gpus from.  I configure the config file to the pool then launch the eth proxy.  Once eth proxy is running, I then launch the ethminer from a bat file.

I know that but I'd like to know when it makes sense to no longer do that. Why have dozens of proxies on the wan and flood the internet.  I already have a 2 to 1 but would like to go more and thinking of building a dedicated proxy server and pointing all miners to it.  I'm obviously way ahead of you here on this but thanks anyway.
