Alternatively, automatically loading a config from a file named a certain way would also be useful. It's more convenient for me as I have multiple rigs, with some shared storage (NFS) where I usually put configuration files of different miners. Allows me to have one file and edit one file, which will apply the changes to all miners. Unfortunately, my rigs weren't originally used or created for mining, but I struck a really nice deal, so I actually have a pretty high number of machines with a low number of GPUs per machine, which makes management a bit of a pain.

I am also giving access to one of the machines to some friends in alternate accounts for non-compute intensive things. One of them, for example, is hosting a teamspeak server. The rigs are kind of, multi-use, I guess. Passing a file helps not only with convenience but also with privacy. I don't want them to be seing what I'm doing as I'm making a decent amount of money out of this. Compared to my country's very low wages, this is an enourmous profit in addition to my regular salary, which I'd rather people who know me didn't know about.

Don't know if that makes sense to you. It's convenience + privacy and I'm not willing to give those up for the extra $5-6 per month I'll be making with your miner. Though as I said, wages are low and if you did add that one thing, I'd be more than happy to switch.

Thanks

dstm Any chance we can get a simple function where you can load the options from a file? Say --config or -c option pointing to a file? Will be huge help. It's probably a 10-15 minute job tops (Though haven't seen your specific code).

I'm using another miner which allows that, but gives me only slightly lower profit. It's the only thing stopping me from changing my ~6100 H/s rigs to use your miner. (I really can't do without this option).
