Updated bminer install directions in SMOS courtesy Greerso from the VoskCoin group.

1.  Log into your smOS install via ssh.

Code:
ssh miner@<your.smos.ip.here.>

Code:
miner@simpleminer:~$
2.  Login as root.

Code:
miner@simpleminer:~$ sudo -s

Code:
miner@simpleminer:~#
3.  Change to the smOS miners directory.

Code:
root@simpleminer:~# cd /root/miner_org
4.  Download bminer.

Code:
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# wget https://www.bminercontent.com/releases/bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a-amd64.tar.xz
5.  Expand the compressed directory, then delete the downloaded file.

Code:
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# tar -xvf bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a-amd64.tar.xz
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# rm bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a-amd64.tar.xz
6.  Choose one of the existing miners that you would like to replace with bminer, I chose 'sgminer-gm-5.5.5', then rename that folder so that smOS ignores it.

Code:
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# mv sgminer-gm-5.5.5 sgminer-gm-5.5.5_backup
7.  Create a symlink from the bminer directory to the sgminer directory and enter that directory.

The line below has been updated to reflect a change in the tarball as distributed by bminer. If it does not work, please look at the folder that you downloaded and make a link to that, exactly as it appears for you, these directory names contain version information that will change. If you can not list a directory in linux and find a directory, google it (hint: 'ls'), if you still can't figure it out, you have no business installing another miner in smos. You should see a folder that you expanded from the tar file. Currently it is named bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a (could be something else by the time you read this, so check what you download and expanded.

Code:
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# ln -s bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a sgminer-gm-5.5.5
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# cd sgminer-gm-5.5.5

8.  Create a symlink from the bminer application to masquerade as sgminer.

Code:
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org/sgminer-gm-5.5.5# ln -s bminer sgminer
9.  Go to http://simplemining.net and setup a new rig group for sgminer-gm-5.5.5 with the following miner options.  This example is for MPH, but whatever your preferred pool is can go here.  Change <yourusername> to your username duh.

Code:
-uri stratum://<yourusername>.$rigName@us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20594 -no-timestamps -api 127.0.0.1:1880
10.  Assign the new sgminer (really bminer) to a rig.

Hey realbminer,

I believe there is a minor bug in bminer.
It seems when running under linux with IPv4 and IPv6 installed, the API starts only on IPv6.
This seems to occur when the '-api' parameter is set to '-api 0.0.0.0:1880'.
This rig was freshly installed with a minimal version of ubuntu 16.04.3.
I've also experienced the same issue on other versions of linux including CentOS.

I CAN access it via IPv6, however, the availability of IPv6 on some other machines is limited in my environment AND, going forward there are some API connections I'd like to use that would need IPv4 compatibility.


Before anyone starts in on me about opening the API access, I require access to the API on the local network. It's well protected.

Oh, I also have a request: Please add the device name for each device on the default API webpage. When there are multiple types of GPUs it can be difficult to tell what type each is. Especially with many rigs.

Thank you for your time and work.

@realbminer

Today there was a problem with the zenmine.pro mining pool,...don't know what was up but after investigating I've found out that bminer still has some sort of connection problems...see the picture below,...all this time the GPU was at full load,...although it didn't had a proper connection to the pool and I couldn't see it on the minning pool. Then I've switched to ewbf/dstm, both miners connected immediately and are working properly?Huh

I use following in a batch file:
Code:
-max-temperature 80 -max-network-failures 5 -gpucheck 0 -watchdog=false
...

This is a huge issue! I've lost at least half of the hashrate because of this bug.

Why are you using 'max-network-failures 5' & 'watchdog=false'? Shouldn't you leave it at the default so it will continue to try to recover the connection, especially if you are complaining of a bug saying it's not connecting?

The documentation on bminer.me states:

Quote
-max-network-failures   Default: -1   Description: Number of consecutive attempts that Bminer tries to recover from network failures. Set to -1 to keep on recovering.
-watchdog                           Default: true   Description: Automatic restart to recover from hung GPUs. Bminer exits itself in case of errors if watchdog is disabled.

Please add BMINNER !

You can do this yourself, courtesy Greerso from the VoskCoin group.

10.  Assign the new sgminer (really bminer) to a rig.

Sit back and watch your sol/s and sol/w hit new highs.

If you think I'm awesome, send me your zencash!  If your rig sets on fire, you did something wrong, this worked for me.
