Okay, if you have 10 rigs with all the same MBs and GPUs, you might not name you machines...BUT if you are running different hardware in each machine, did you give any of your mining rigs a "nickname"?

For example, one of my rigs is name C.H.U.D.

Worker1, Worker2, Worker3, etc.... Not very creative but it's easy to keep track of them on various pools etc. that way.

Chugger1, Chugger2, Chugger3

:D

I know them by numbers, makes it easier for me.

Though all of them seem to have their own quirks and errors even though the OS was mirrored so it's almost as if each number had a personality.

Kind of reminds me of the TV show Dark Matter.  :)

they are all seven of nine.

I've started with the alphabet and when I run out of letters I'll move on to numbers or some other naming scheme.

my rig names

 ;D ;D ;D

First two were named Dufresne and Django.

As in Andy Dufresne from the Shawkshank Redemption - who used a rock hammer to mine a tunnel through his cell wall to freedom.
And Django - who just bossed his way to freedom.


I will free myself from the antiquated, cyclical bindings of 9-5 working life.




At the base of that wall, you'll find a rock that has no earthly business in a Maine hayfield. Piece of black, volcanic glass. There's something buried under it I want you to have.

My computer parts arrive tomorrow and I will be building my first rig. Very excited.
It will be called Theresa.

My mining phones and tablets are named whatever random name Android decides to use (android-<some long hex digits>), my desktop is named after the motherboard that's inside it (DX79SI), and my external HDDs used for Burstcoin mining automatically get named some random sequence of hex digits when I format them for use. My Avalon 4, however, was named Chrissy after my friend who sold it to me.

All mine are named after Cylons...

They all live up to their names
Caprica (Sexy Cylon)
Saul (Old Asshole that's apparently drunk most of the time)
Galen (the workhorse)
Athena (Hot Sleek and Sexy 4x 1070 1x 1080Ti)
and Leoben (The pain in the ass machine)

Did anyone get the C.H.U.D reference?

My first rig was named Ishimura, none of the rest have had notable names.

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller?

Lol. Anyway my rigs are pretty much easier to remember:

StudyHall
LivingRoom
ParentsRoom

yeah i name them rig 1 2 3 etc... simple than that there is not, you can just name them 1 2 3 etc, even simple but boring maybe, if you don't name them i get confused if i need to solo and put a wallet in one of them, they all look the same

ha ha...if only.... ( 0 ) ( 0 ) !

OP: yes, originally was MBname_00#, but is evolving to Rig00#.

gratz!!!

what did you get/where

I name my mining machines based on the primary GPU cards in them, as most of them are built on 1 of 2 MB/CPU/RAM/PS platforms (HDs vary a bit more).

 2x1080x1, 3x1070x3, and such.

 I might be changing that though, as I get my current infrastructure built up, to a "location-based" scheme, like R1S1 (Row 1 Shelf 1) - but haven't decided yet for sure.



 7 of 9 (Jeri Ryan?) was seriously topheavy for my preference, Denise Crosby (forget her char name) IMO was much nicer built.

 9-)

I named my first Ishimura. My other ones are just enumerated for ease of admin.

No, since here I have only a desktop PC with only three GPUs and I don't see why to name the mining hardware, but if there are many rigs, naming them makes sense for monitoring and management purposes.
