hi good day, just wanna ask if there any mining software i can use that i can remotely control like start/stop...i have 30 PC and tired of running/stopping the mining software like cg miner in each of every computer from time to time,cause those pc are also my online gaming business not just for mining. any help suggestion are really appreciated. thanks a lot

If you're using Windows, CGWatcher has a lot of scheduling options, like starting/stopping mining, changing intensities, enabling/disabling devices, etc. and they can be triggered at specific days/times or intervals, when the computer is idle/not idle, or when a specific program starts or stops, among other options.

CGRemote allows remote monitoring and control but is in beta and not yet released. It will provide the same level of control as CGWatcher, whether you're running CGWatcher on your miners or not.

Thanks for the quick reply sir really appreciate, the problem is im not that good in mining configuration etc...i just recently use bitminter client, guiminer alpha and cgminer as mining software and just luckily made it work just following some easy as 1 2 3 instruction. this software looks awesome but looks complicated but i will give it a try, will it work even im using a smartlaunch internet software? anyway thank you so much sir

by the way sir do u have any conf file for 7970 card i don't know how to create one, i think this software need config file right?

CGMiner can use a conf file or arguments (sometimes referred to as parameters or flags) or both. While there are around 70 different settings for CGMiner, you only need to set a few to get it working... then there are a few more you can tweak to try to improve your hashrate. If your computers all use the same hardware, you should be able to use the same configuration on all of them (though some may have to be slightly adjusted because not all GPUs of the same model behave the same).

With CGWatcher you can use online config files, meaning you can post your conf file to pastebin or any valid URL and point all miners to it. That way if you want to change something, it changes on all of them. CGWatcher downloads the config file before it starts the miner to make sure the miner will be using the latest config.

Once you've setup CGWatcher and your profiles on one mining computer, you can then just copy the folder to all of the other computers. No installation is required. Even the autorun entry will be created the first time CGWatcher is ran if this setting was enabled in the initial setup, meaning you don't have to go through each computer and enable it.


With CGRemote, you can then manage all of the miners from one computer. You can start/stop/restart miners individually, or check the checkbox on each miner to apply actions to a group of miners at once. If you are running CGWatcher on the miners, you can also switch profiles to mine different coins (assuming you've setup more than one profile.) As I mentioned, CGRemote is in beta so there are still a lot more features to come... and I'm not sure how soon until release.

I have 7950s, so a few settings would need changed for 7970s. There may be others who have better configs and you can find them posted on various sites. I have to keep my intensity low enough that I can still work on these programs while mining without lag, especially when scrypt mining. If you would still like help PM me or I'm on freenode IRC in #cgwatcher.

Is there anyway that I can test CGRemote?

Thanks

I prefer this over CGwatcher, and it incorporates auto coin switching based on profitability, as well as an android and IOS App.

The CGRemote beta is limited to donators (at the request of some early donators), so anyone donating $10 or more is added and will get the full version for free once finished. There is more information at http://manotechnology.blogspot.com/p/cgremote.html.

And CGWatcher also has profitability mining with a scheduler that gives you complete control over what happens and when, plus a ton of other features.
