Title: Scheduled and percentage minning
Post by: Katatus on January 16, 2022, 07:32:05 PM
Hello:

I am new to cryptocurrency mining. I have purchased a couple of ASICS for bitcoin minning BTC, and Im looking for a way to configure them via software to do the following (if possible):
1.- That it can be turned on and off according to a schedule from Monday to Sunday (for example, from Monday to Friday it turns on from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and then from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday it is on all day)
2.- That I can configure the percentage of Th/s that the ASICs use, that is, for example, that the ASICs work at 20% instead of 100%.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, in Braiins OS+ using scheduled tasks, change either power limit or stop / start mining.

All miners that use cgminer already have the % built in from the start.

Be wary of wasting power when you 'think' the miner isn't running.
Many miners wont 'stop' as such unless you turn them off.
