1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Windows mining monitoring tool - v2-BETA [OPEN BETA] on: June 20, 2017, 03:03:50 AM
Cool. Nice to know.  Smiley
Now, after you clarified security questions, I've got a question about the tool itself.

Is it OK to run miltiple instances of monitorig on the same PC?
I'm using my home PC for mining, not a dedicated rig. Just plugged the second GPU in via PCIe raiser.

So I've got multiple-vendor setup. Nvidia's 970 as primary GPU, which only works for mining when PC isn't used (Claymore's ETH miner). And AMD's 7970 as a secondary GPU, which works 24/7 (Claymore's ZEC miner).
As a result I've got two different miners working in parallel, each on it's own GPU.

In the monitorig, I don't see the way to launch multiple miners at once. So the reasonable question is: is it possible to launch multiple copies of monitorig? Each with it's own configuration and miner.

There's also a VNC server included, providing the remote access to my PC. Which, technically, is an extremely high security risk.
I see there's a "remote control" feature in your tool. So I totally get what you use it for.
But I, personally, would prefer not to have this feature, rather than giving a full acces to my PC for some app I can't descrube as trusted. Yeah, I'm a security freak living in the era when almost any app spies on you and sends some kind of "telemetry", I know.
But still.

So I hope, removing vnc-server won't stop other parts of your tool from working properly? It will brake only "remote control" feature, right? From what I see, it works OK without VNC server.

One more thing. There's a node.exe under peer-vnc folder. On the details section of this file's properties, I can see it has a version 0.8.28.0.
So I downloaded the same version of Node.js windows executable from the official archive just to compare. And, again, they don't match. Not just in binary comparison, but even the size. And your node.exe has some noname-style digital signature.
Is it some kind of a modified version of official Node.js release?  Huh

Just to be perfectly safe, I've replaced it with the latest release of Node.js. It won't cause any problems, I guess?

@th00ber
I can't download the zip archive with the beta v2 release.
My browser just doesn't let me to do so.

It's in russian, the text says: "Blocked: It may contain a virus or spyware".

I'm using Firefox 47.0.2
I can try to download it with another browser, but so far it never gave me a warning with no reason.
And this is not even a warning. It's an authomatic block.

So, the reasonable question is: what could be causing that?

UPD: I've downloadid it with Opera and sent it to virustotal. You know, the VirusTotal detection rate is REALLY high.
https://www.virustotal.com/ru/file/7a6d64511dca6fb75cafacc5fd7fb0e491f8315709877c2897676da1b64c9c22/analysis/1497884845/
Your tool has 4 detections more than the miner itself. And, more importantly, it's forcefully blocked by the browser while the miner isn't.

UPD2: OK, I've unpacked the archive, removed the miners subfolder, repacked it and sent to VirusTotal again: https://virustotal.com/ru/file/57d40e07074e4e50ec9abce6d6070485c00cb7ba4f93c253a9e3b02fe8e7b298/analysis/1497886011/
Now it's almost perfectly safe.
Then I bitwise-compared the embedded miner files with the ones downloaded from the official threads (Claymore's ZEC and ETH). And they don't match. Like, at all. It seems you're using an older versions (a much older ones).
So now I've got a few questions:
1. Why do you use the old versions instead of new ones?
2. Is it safe to replace the embedded miners with the latest official releases that I download myself, or you have modified them in some way?
3. Is it safe to completely remove miners that I don't use? Won't it stop your tool from working?

offtop: that's why open-source is always better.

I also did some tool to follow mining status.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1448855

And I host the server, so you can manage your rig online
http://www.monitorig.com/#?panel=dashboard&id=1086db9224632d26671ab42df5ee1d92bf0187bbdd

Give it a try.
By the way, your graph is cool and really accurate Smiley
Man, your tool looks great. Mine tiny python script written for the weekend is not even close.
Now I regret I couldn't find it before I started developing my own.
I'm definitely going to try yours.

Tool for hashrate / GPU temperature / Fan speeds analysis

Hey guys. I've just uploaded the small pyhon script that parses this miner's log files and builds an interactive graphs using this data.
https://ibb.co/gwR9oQ

It allows you to:
  • easily check if everything was fine with temps
  • evaluate the average hashrate for your hardware
  • verify your pools's statistics. To be specific, it lets you check how much your mining performance reported by that pool corellate with the actual hardware performance

It's more of a prototype than a complete application. But it's already useable and works just fine.
Most likely "professional miners" won't need it. Since they already have something similar made by themselves.
But it may be useful for beginners.

It's interactive so you can zoom/pan the graphs.
