Title: Setting up a pool (or something like it) for personal use???
Post by: Sancho on February 08, 2014, 08:02:52 PM
Hey all,

I have a few mining rigs and am finding it increasingly tedious to move them from mining one coin to the next. I was wondering if someone could point me to some kind of tutorial where I could set up my own pool (or something) where I can change the settings once and point them all at the right target - instead of creating and executing separate .bat files for all of them when it's time to move on.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Bump.

I have had this same question, would be great if anyone had some pointers?

You should have a look at CGWatcher and CGRemote.  CGWatcher runs on your rigs, and CGRemote can control them all from one central PC, including switching pools.

A p2pool node might help you...basic guide here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62842.0

You'd have to set up all the daemons and all that, and as long as you're using the same chain type you wouldn't have to change your miner settings (eg SHA vs Scypt). Once you've got p2pool working and the miners connect, changing what you mine is as simple as restarting the p2pool node with the correct port/username/password for the daemon you want to mine. I haven't tested this with Scrypt, only with sha256 and ended up setting up merged mining on my pool http://blisterpool.com
