MultiMiner: Any Miner, Any Where, on Any Device (Free, Open Source, Cross Platform)

[ManeBjorn]

Thanks it did make me feel better.
It just takes me so long to get anything done now it can be extra frustrating.
Fuses are no fun good job to be able to do that.
I can imagine you have torn apart a ton of gear just to find out what it is to program for it.  That must be fun discovering all of that.

I have some good news on the Avalon damage.
First I was able to carefully remove the port and direct connected to the ethernet cable and enabled the wireless.  From there it was back to mining and shows up with the API ok.

Then today I took it down and re-soldiered a new ethernet jack on it.  All is good now. 

I hate replacing ports all I could think I was going to toast the board.  I am ok with A/C jacks and such but I have not done much delicate soldiering since my injury as it is too hard to sit comfortably.

At least good news for a change. 

That's awesome news. Man I break my setups all the time. I mess with them a lot (since I do dev based on them) so I've had my share of breakage. It always sucks.

That said, when something does break and you are able to figure it out and fix it yourself - well that almost makes up for it  I learned how to solder when my Blade V2 fuse assembly burnt up.

...the AntMiner S1) automatically show up in MultiMiner with zero configuration (devices themselves must allow RPC API access)

I got my first AntMiner S1 today and plugged it into my LAN but MuM 2.6.3 does not see it. What does "allow RPC API access" mean? I can't find anywhere to set that.

Also, AntMiner S1 comes with cgminer installed. Should I disable that?

I have a weird question.
Now that I have it seeing my Avalon I have an odd display bug.
What happens is that I have MuM on two systems.  Since both systems see the Avalon for some reason it shows up as having the Avalon's hashrate twice in total network gh/s display.
Is this a bug or do I need to check something somewhere as I do not see anything.

Good one - I'll look into a way to somehow filter that out.

[ManeBjorn]

Cool deal.
I wasn't sure if I had messed something up again.
The Avalon is working rock solid right now too after all that.  I already made .03 from just that alone today.  I'm very happy it will help in my building to some bigger power in the future.

It's different for each standalone ASIC, but basically they usually run a version of BFGMiner or cgminer which means you need to alter the arguments or configuration file to pass in --api-listen and --api-allow. When it comes to the AntMiner S1 it's cgminer and a configuration file.

The first step is to SSH into the AntMiner S1 as root, password root
Use vi to edit /etc/config/cgminer
Add/alter the following line:

Code:

option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/24'

Adjust the IP range as needed for your own network based on:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIDR_notation#CIDR_notation

Restart the miner using the Web UI and wait a few minutes. The miner should show up in MultiMiner automatically.

Might want to look on github for latest firmwaer as their one that come out 3 days ago that fixed the problems with cgminer

Thx, will that problem with cgminer stop it from mining using MuM

I followed somebody's instructions to log into S1 and switch static IP to dynamic. It took me a long time to correct that error by finding a link to the little manual and the S2 reset button.

Now I'm trying to learn how to "SSH into AntMiner." I installed Cygwin with OpenSSH.

After updating this last client, Multiminer does nothing but freeze up... (Win 7 x64)

Can you try previous releases to determine the version that introduced this problem for you? Haven't seen any issues myself or had anything reported (yet).

Can you check the Event Log in Windows under Applications and see if there are any entries for MultiMiner?

Edit: Could you also post a screenshot and / or video (e.g. using Jing, it's free) so I can see exactly how it is behaving and locking up?

MuM 263 is running better'n ever for me. What's a "freeze"   Are you using CoinWarz at 5 minutes by any chance? Your freeze may be their quota. Switch to CoinChoose.

Ok, you whipped out your Linux and made me feel all stupid. I'm guessing that cgminer is loaded inside the AntMiner with a Linux OS. It comes with zero documentation and I searched the forums but folks assume everybody knows Linux.  What do I type on the OpenSSH command line to "to SSH into the AntMiner S1"

A restart of my system seems to have corrected it actually, previous updates didn't have that issue.

NO i had to like many other it was a problem in cgminer that it wouldn't allow to connect into multiminer once i updated i updated things where better for it and also allowed to work on stratum support too. And my multi miner also detects it on the network without making any changes to the ant miner.

Ok, AntMiner S1 is mining and the wrong instance of MuM discovered it. Since worker name goes with the coin and not the device that's not good since that MuM is running itty bitty Block Eruptors that like diff 1. The pools use the worker name to associate it with a preferred diff.

Is there a way to get AntMiner S1 to show up on the fast MuM instance

If you are using the Network Device support, the AntMiner is mining whatever you have it set to mine in the Web UI for it. MultiMiner is not controlling that.

Okay folks - it's time to start kicking the tires on 2.7 pre-releases for those who have the time!  

Version 2.7 PR1 is available for download here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcu3y19txi78j4t/MultiMiner-2.7.0.zip

So far this update includes:

• Added the ability to rename all devices
• Added the ability to restart Network Devices
• Added the ability to switch pools for Network Devices
• The full list of Workers for Network Devices is now shown in the Details pane
• The hardware list is now saved and restored when reopening the app (hardware is no longer scanned on every startup)
• The combination of Remoting and Network Devices is now more consistent in reporting hashrates
• Fixed issues with Network Devices not showing their full hashrate
• Minor fixes and UI improvements

[ManeBjorn]

Wow you have been busy.
I will have to try this out tomorrow.  I'm too tired tonight to.
I almost hate to ask if you had time for any DualMiner support work.

Still road-blocked. Waiting to be un-read-blocked, which is outside of my control. Soon hopefully!

Anything we can do to encourage un-road-blocking?
