ethOS - Ethereum Mining Platform

[marcous]

Site: http://ethosdistro.com/

Features

Remote configuration: instruct rig to remotely reboot; set core clocks, mem clocks, fan control, pool info, and other settings remotely.
Extremely lightweight: Works with weakest possible CPU made in the last 5 generations on only 1 gb of ram.
Automatic GPU overheat protection: GPUs will automatically turn off if they reach a temperature threshold.
Stratum Proxy: Automatically configured for local stratum proxy, stratum pools can be changed in config.
Boots and mines: IP assignment via DHCP, hostname defined by mac address.
Easy KVM: A terminal window opens with focus on boot, no mouse required.
Automatic reporting: Web panel with detailed rig statistics (example: http://337652.ethosdistro.com/).
DAG file management: SSD won't run out of space.

Requirements

At least 16gb SSD.
64-bit system.

How to Get

ethOS is released pre-loaded on a 16gb SSD.
Buy it at http://mining.gpushack.com/
gpuShack accepts major Credit Cards, PayPal, Amazon Payments, and Bitcoin.

Development

ethOS began development on January 21st and was released on February 15th. ethOS development took approximately 500 man-hours, which is the the equivalent of $25,000 USD at United States Average Linux Developer contractor rates. Therefore, all proceeds from ethOS sales are distributed among the development team.

You got it right! ethOS has features that are very compatible I guess. being here adds to my knowledge about mining. Certainly, Ethereum can be said to be the king of coins for mining with a variety of updated features

I know ethos launched last year 2018 and this miner looks good but obviously won't come cheap. What is the possible ROI and harsh rate? I will like to try it out if it can be integrated to work on my set of RX580 4GB running at a little less than 8 mh/s

no more news or updates about ETHOS?

I am still using ETHOS and some news about this OS will be great...

i am using too... but i am having problems when i try to config phoenixminer.. only runs with defaults config. Do you known how to config the parameters? like we do on claymore?

i try to put on standart config file, but it did not take effect

So far if you use the miner-manager (link on your rig monitor webpage) you can load most modern miners.  Easy enough and still as solid as ever. 

[miner29]

As for miners you may need to look in /opt/miners/(the miner you are using)
In the subdirectory should be the config file you need to edit.

So for say xmr-stak i would

ssh into the rig
have miner manager install xmr-stak
cd /opt/miner/xmr-stak
nano config.json
and edit the file
Then edit you remote or local.config for ethos and set xmr-stak as the globalminer and set my oc setting. 

Miner-manager needs to be installed and a link is on the web montior page foryour rigs.  Works great.

Tks for you answer... before i ask, i did exactly as you said..

But...

If i do:

1) disallow
2) cd opt/miner/phonenixminer
3) ./miner_start.sh

It starts to mine with phonenixminer config file.

But if i start with command "minestart" or "allow" on ETHOS, the system does not take the confir file on phoenixminer folder, i do not know why...

Any suggestion?

[miner29]

Have you tried putting in setting whats in the start.sh file into the phoenixminer=flags like so




phoenixminer=flags -mode 1 -proto 3 -wdtimeout 300

This line comes after globalminer= phoenixminer

look at whats in the start.sh file and put in as flags...then when miner starts it will use those setiings.


hope it helps and let us know!

using

phoenixminer=flags works!!!

Thanks a lot!! now i can have full control of phoenixminer!!

You saved a miner!!

[miner29]

Awesome. 

Ive managed to get cpu mining and fpga mining up on ethos using the screen command in crontab by adding the miner manually to /opt/miners/xmrrig in this case :

reboot sleep 15 && screen -d -m ./xmr.sh


Then os just ssh in and do a

screen -r

and it switches to the output.
be sure to ctrl a-d to exit or you will kill the process.

Also added a python script i found to reset the rig automatically if a gpu got hung...keeps a log so i can the card with intermittent issues.

👍

very nice work you've done!

Can you send this script and a guide to do this job (reset the rig )? i am very interested

[forato]

Does anyone knows if there is a way to auto switch to the best profit like cudominer or NicehashOS does?

if i want to change for example only GPU 3 MEM CLOCK's, how can i do?

[miner29]

if i want to change for example only GPU 3 MEM CLOCK's, how can i do?

http://ethosdistro.com/pool.txt

explains how its done
check your config file and will be a line starting with mem

i have checked several times this file, but it does not explain if it is possible to set only one GPU in a rig with a lot of GPU's.

I can set by worker, by Bios or globalsettings, or set one by one.. but i want to set only one GPU (the third one) on the rig.. Is this possible?

EXAMPLE:

MEM: default default 2150 default default default default default

[smilodon]

for change only gpu3 memclock
in the local.conf or remote conf add this

mem (abc123)=workernamerig 0 0 1900 0 0 etc...

mem abc123 0 0 1900 0 0

five cards and change memory clock only for gpu 3

It wasnt even very far into the document.

tks!!

problem solved!

please, how can i Run phoenixminer as a root user?

I am using minermanager to install all miners that i need and it is very good, but some flags did not work becouse the miner does not run as root
