Note: I believe we have already covered this in the PIMP live chat, but I wanted to make sure the answer was posted here for all the pimps:

Please follow the exact instructions for writing SSD in the Guide:

Here's the latest Users Guide! https://getpimp.org/guide2/ is the website, and on the rig you have: pimp --help and minerfarm --help

We will be glad to work with you to find more information about using PIMP with your Pandaminer in the PIMP live chat. No guarantees, since this is non-standard hardware, but we can give it a shot!

Thank you for your interest in PIMP!
You can view hashrates and example rigs in the PiMPs Corner: https://getpimp.org/pimps-corner

I have never used any dummy plugs, I don't know what they would be needed for. I am currently able to boot PIMP 1.9 and 2.0 without a monitor connected on a variety of cards including 270X, R360, RX470 and RX480. Those are the ones I have the in PIMP FARM: https://miner.farm/farmer/pimp

Also, the above link will bring you to miner.farm, our pro monitoring service. This is going to be your main tool for managing your farm. Miner.farm supports monitoring profiles and email alerts for paid accounts.

As far as overclocking, this is not yet available in PIMP due to an upstream bug in AMDGPU-PRO drivers. We are tracking the progress of the bug here: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/137657081

Currently you can flash your own clocks to the GPU using Windows tools, or flash your own rom using atiflash included with PIMP.


Hoping that the translation was wrong as we do not "promise" features, but we do take all of your suggestions to heart and add features that are most requested or we think will be most helpful to the pimps.

Making mining easier and easier with every new version, we are committed to bringing mining to everyone.

You are welcome to grab a copy and check it out!  Definitely like/follow us on media, subscribe to email news, and drop by the IRC to have a chat with all the PIMPS!

Why would you remove support for thousands of loyal Customers? The PiMPs deserve to have Claymore, and you deserve to earn the dev fee that you get from us. Please release linux support. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your question. This question will be answered below. More information can be found in the PiMP Users Guide at https://getpimp.org/guide2    and also in new guides, videos and posts we have been making for you all, such as this one: https://getpimp.org/how-to-edit-and-tune-your-miner-confs-the-fastest-and-easiest-way/

In short:

The edit command checks the JSON syntax of conf files (but not .pcfg files) to alert you if you made a typo.

When starting the miner it is always done by a screen, so that you can look at the miner screen later.
Also, Some miners do not provide API access at all, so we don't know what the hashrate is, for example. The non-API miners, like Claymore and Optiminer, we can start and stop and even switch profiles.... But they just don't give the information.

Good news, it's working fine. What's happening is this: Because optiminer does not actually have an API, we don't get any data from it at all about the hashrate or the GPUs. so, it's mining away, but minerfarm only knows that "it's running" and we don't know anything else. We grab info about the GPUs from the GPUs themselves, like the fan speeds. So we created gputool for miners like this, since they also do not control the fans. use gputool --help for info. so you're doing it right. there's 2 good ways to view your actual hashrate. You can use pimp --test to attach to the running miner screen.... and you can view the "observed hashrate" At the pool we have a lot of improvement planned for this, but just being able to start/stop these miners from minerfarm is a huge win! really curious what your hashrates are on the miner screen, when you get them


Also, please run pimpup to make sure you have the latest version of PiMP gputool. We have been focusing on this and making improvements and supporting more cards.

Hello PiMP. Thank you for your questions. Your feedback about the value of the forum posts is very well received. I will do my best to post more helpful information here for you pimps!!! Thanks and keep those suggestions coming!!   


Also, I have been updating and incorporating the new information into the users guide, keep checking it for updates too!!

So.. With miningrigrentals.com, it is a special type of service that has partnered with PiMP to provide security and flexibility for PiMP customers. It is a service that allows you to rent out your rigs' hashrate for a profit.  To use miningrigrentals yourself, you can both rent your rig and rent other people's rigs to get yourself more hashrates to jump in on a very profitable coin or whatever your reason might be!

If you can, please use our referral link (which we prefer as it makes us a tiny amount of revenue!) https://www.miningrigrentals.com/register?ref=733  and create your own account. 

Then, you can create a rig, per algorithm type, put your pools and information in, and you will get your own pool/worker information to connect with.

Once you have your worker info from MRR, you would put that into your miner conf on PiMP using the edit command.

However, if you do not want to use miningrigrentals, you would use a different pool.

We try to put more pools in as examples.... moneropool, flypool, and ethermine.org are all found in the PiMP default confs. Check out the PiMP users guide on https://getpimp.org/guide2, hope this helps.



We did hear that VPNs are having trouble, we have listed this in Limitations of Software. You have to provide PiMP a good network route to the servers. Both ours and the pools. That can only be provided by you, the customer. If you know of any setting in particular that we can change to accommodate pimps like you, please direct me so that we can take a look!

Well, we've done a lot so far to make things easier. Right now we have the newpimp command that shows how to get started, we have pimp --chworker now that can instantly change an address in. Many of these tools were requested by our professional farmers and so we made them externally available via ssh.

We do have the tracker full of great ideas like this, including the "PiMP setup wizard" which has long been a dream of ours. This will allow people to get onboarded easier.  Yes, we are very excited to bring mining to new miners so crypto can be more accessible. Thank you for helping us do that with all of this great information!!!


Thanks again and happy new year PiMP ! Lets Stack loot from head to boot in 2017 with PiMPed out rigs!

Yes, we are ACTIVELY working on nvidia support. You can follow PiMP development more closely in our Livechat, #PiMP, by subscribing to our Assistant PiMP e-Newsletter on getpimp.org, following us on Twitter and Facebook, etc.

You can also see pimp2.0-nvidia rig(s) on the PiMP farm as we are creating and working on them, at any given time, https://miner.farm/farmer/pimp

Early 2017 we should have a pimp-2.0-nvidia release for you.

Thank you for your interest!

We provide services to help people mine crypto currencies the fastest and easiest way on their own equipment. Check out our website for information: getpimp.org

Thank you for supporting PiMP.

Yes, I believe we cover all of the major pools now for each algorithms. We try to put 1-3 example pools in each default conf file, to make it easier.

If you have any settings or pools that are working very good for you, or hashrates, share them here!

Hey PiMPs thanks for helping each other out. In the meantime, the testers and I have been working up more guides for you.

Here is the guide on editing confs so far: https://getpimp.org/how-to-edit-and-tune-your-miner-confs-the-fastest-and-easiest-way/
Here is some more about minerfarm: https://getpimp.org/what-is-miner-farm/

Pictures and videos to follow... You can view our actual tracker for pimp marketing and website here: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/1174064

Please let me know what videos and guides pimps want and we'll make them for you! 

We are very proud to collaborate with tpruvot, Wolf, and the other miner devs to make mining easier and more profitable for you.
tpruvot's cpuminer-multi is actually configured out of the box on PiMP, according to the PiMP 1.9 and 2.0 Users Guide "1.6: Included algorithms and miners" located at https://getpimp.org/guide2/ It mines XMR with the default configuration.

We are Happy to answer any questions! join us in IRC.

Hey james. Thanks for your interest and support. Unfortunately, the newer miners are written in newer programming languages and libraries, and have more sophisticated needs, and AMD drivers are getting more and more specific. Most likely, you will not be able to mine anything profitable using those GPUs, since the OS is required for the miner software does not support at all the drivers you need for those GPUs. It is recommended you get one of the GPUs listed with our products download page.

I'm sorry, I never heard of that, although you can probably use PiMP OS to get yourself some!!! We have always built mining software for miners, we do not handle money ourselves (pools, wallets, coins) we only make it very easy for everyone to get and use the crypto coins they want!

That is great news!
Here is our guide: PiMP Classic: Getting Started 6: Using your own miner.farm Account  https://getpimp.org/classic-gs6/

You can do it by ssh or command line now, just like with pimpkey, using "farmkey" command, or paste them right into minerfarm configure screen. If you have trouble use livechat command and it will bring you right into #PiMP chat room where we can help you in person!

We do not currently have afterburner for linux but we are exploring all the options (including writing our own exciting new mining framework codenamed "PiMPjuice" that will be our next generation of products

We also are hard at work on miner.farm, we have some fun new features coming to miner.farm as well as PiMP Classic.... RX400-series support, Zcash, and more coming in the next months! No, I am not getting much sleep, but this is what us miners live for!!!

Thanks for supporting getPiMP, FFI2013!

Have not seen any instance where the desktop runs off the screen. Can you try using RDP Like the following instructions? https://getpimp.org/classic-gs3/#rdp

On that same page you can find the other ways to access your rig. Using SSH and poolmanager/seedmanager may be most useful.

If you are having trouble with the default seedmanager profiles, There is a known bug in 1.8 where the old seedmanager profiles do not work as the filenames of the confs were cleaned up. You can fix this with pimpupdate:

Run 'pimpupdate' at terminal, choose option #4 and it will update you to the fixed version of the /opt/ifmi/seedmanager.conf

Note: Seedmanager is a little buggy on the new pimp.... I actually use minerfarm to manage all my asics until we get that resolved. You can see my rig on https://miner.farm/farmer/PIMP/farmstatus  although it is a development rig and may be starting and stopping a lot while we work on new secret project codenamed "PiMPjuice"


Feel free to join us in IRC for live support.  Thanks again!
 

That is really great to hear, hammerhead, and thank you so much for supporting PiMP.  So far we are very proud of our testing team for finding all the bugs, as there has been hardly any need for support! It is feedback like yours that makes us smile.

We are hard at work right now on RX support, NVIDIA support, and working with some of our pro farmers deploying large farms using miner.farm so stay tuned.

Please join us again in IRC for discussion, because your thoughts can help shape the future of PiMP products. Also, you can find discussion of good settings, ideas and ways to get more hashrate!

Thank you for your interest in getPiMP.org! We are glad to help with all of your questions.

PiMP has never included any hidden donation code or stealing hashes from our miners.

The claymore miners do have their own donation hash system that you can disable with -nofee, it doesn't matter to getPiMP if you use that or not, but many users wanted it included as an option. We do not mine to these by default. All of the miner profiles, locations of binaries and confs, can be seen by using "mcontrol switch" for GPU/CPU profiles and "smcontrol switch" for ASICs.

Same key will work on RX version We are already working on it.

NEW VERSION AVAILABLE: MINE ETH, ETC, XMR, DCR, and MORE!!!!!


Hello miners! We have a lot to announce here, and we will keep it brief:

getPiMP.org is now an entire suite of crypto software products and services. Since we have a lot of things to offer the mining community we are no longer doing our work for free, but we think you will find our pricing model reasonable and affordable. You will be able to purchase PiMP using our secure website, using credit/debit payment via Paypal, and BTC via Coinbase.

PiMP Classic, the original PiMP mining platform, has been fully updated and enhanced with many new features. We now support Ethereum and other new algos, updates are working, and it’s easier to get support. We are also planning a PiMP nVidia edition, something we have wanted to do for years.
A brand new website, brand new miner.farm service, brand new PiMP! Come check us out: Stack your loot from head to boot!

https://getPiMP.org - Accept no imitations.



Also, We created a new ANN Thread for the new projects: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1635828
Post wherever you like!

Thank you miners for your patience! Today is a proud day.

Your friends,
getPiMP.org team.
