Title: how to manage 6 Antminer S1 Technobit Hex16 / pools switching
Post by: pjcltd on January 05, 2014, 11:12:28 PM
Hi

I have the following kit

6 Antminer S1's
3 Technobit  Hexc16
now I don't use them to mine BTC's I use them for ALT coins
but its a pain to log onto each one to change the pool
is there a program that I can use to manage the Miners
so I can change the pool from one please instead of 7.

thanks
Paul

the easiest way i can think of would be to use the proxy program and change that

so youd point all your miners to 1 proxy and change the proxy to go to what ever pool you want. you would need to set up the same user names on all pools you use but it would be one of the easier ways to do this

I have tried that
and i keep getting 100% error rate
i have tried multi miner with the proxy but still the same 100% error

Bump to determine if this was ever figured out or ever worked?

I setup a proxy to direct my 8 miners at whatever pool I decide on by using batch files. I point my miners at my PC running the proxy (or a rasp pi usually) and just switch proxies when I want to change pools.

I use slush proxy and several settings while launching it; my command looks like this:

start mining_proxy.exe -o us1.ghash.io -p 3333 -rt -gp 8332 -sp 3332 -cu vdv.proxy -cp x

The command will launch a proxy for the Ghash.io pool, and listen on port 8332 for getwork and 3332 for stratum. In the case of S1s, you should use getwork port. The next commands tell the proxy that, no matter what worker name subscribes to the proxy for work will work using the username and password provided (vdv.proxy and password x).

This allows one to put any name/pw in the mining program controlling the machine, and control the work sent to pool by the proxy setup. This allows one to make several proxy shortcuts for different pools which may require different usernames or a BTC address as username etc..

Hope this helps for you!
