How do you get the HEX16A running with Multiminer?
A simple advice would be appreciated, since I'm having one HEX16A2 in my hands (hopefully) today.

It's not running in MultiMiner, it's running on a Beagleboard Black (like a Rapsberry Pi). MultiMiner is reporting it up to MobileMiner using the Network Device detection feature.

As I understand it, they're network miners, so there's two ways.  

• Point them at the Stratum Server.
• Let MuM automatically detect and control them.

From what I've seen though, I wouldn't use one.  They seem to use more power than is worth it (from the number crunching I did they cost to run more than they produce).

Wait i'm confused. CGMinerMobileAdapter works with BAMT (it specifies Sgminer). Shouldn't you be able to apply some level of support.

He's referring to MultiMiner, not MobileMiner.

Looks as if it's getting a 404.

Code:

Looks to me like it cannot get a response back from the CGMiner RPC API. You need to configure your miner to enable API access and to allow API access from the IP where the Python script will run.

Try telneting into the IP & port of the CGMiner instance in BAMT. If you are unable to connect then the script is not going to work. See this thread for more info:

Here's a quick preview of a new feature coming in the next release:

This should make life even easier for users of MultiMiner Remoting!

Happing mining  

That's great! It's interesting, as I was just thinking about another feature along the same lines that would be useful... I've been using the export and import feature to move in coin profiles, and the upcoming version will make that even more easier. However, if I have a worker for each rig setup on a pool for each of the coins, I still need to change the worker name on every machine.

Any chance of using a variable, and being able to just set that variable somewhere in the main setup?

I typically name my workers:

loginname.1
loginname.2
loginname.3
loginname.4
 
...and so on...

If I could set a field in the setup of each machine with the worker name, I wouldn't need to change anything when importing my coin configs, I'd only need to change the name once per rig during the setup.

A few different user defined variables might be useful, in the case of differently formed pool names.

Thanks, i'll give that a try tonight.

Hi, having some trouble with multiminer. FOr some reason I am having no luck getting it to properly detect my miners. Have 4 ants and 2 block erupters running, all have been detected in the past easily. When I run multiminer it detects 3 ants and none of the block erupters. BFGminer detects them as normal (3.10.0)  this problem showed up in the last couple days and nothing seems to have fixed it. I installed multiminer 2.7.4 and 2.7.3 and am going to try 2.7.2   to see if it works. Anyone have this problem and fix it, or have any ideas?  the drivers all are fine, and both cgminer and bfgminer have no problem with them, just when im running multiminer.  thanks!

So back to my stand alone avalon clone that I'm trying to solo mine an altcoin with. I have the proxy setup on a coin. That coin is setup to mine on localhost with the rpc port in my .conf for the wallet. I have the ip of the pc with the wallet on it in the pool info for my avalon with the proxy port listed in multiminer. I get nothing but rejects and cgminer on the avalon and multiminer show no hashrate. Multminer shows a climbing numbers of errors and cgminer on the avalon show a climbing number of rejects. Any help?

I haven't been able to solo mine with multiminer either since the switch from cgminer to bfgminer, no idea if this is a similar issue or not, but I've had to use alternative programs when I want to solo mine.

Did you try right-clicking and clicking Scan Hardware? Starting with 2.7 this no longer happens automatically on startup.

Looks like Azure maintenance. Just got in late from a concert but I'll dig in deeper if it's not resolved soon.

I'm pretty sure that along with the issues atomicchaos mentioned with solo mining that there are also issues using the Stratum Proxy to Scrypt mine. Both are on my (ever growing  ) list of items to look into. I spoke to Luke about Scrypt mining with the Proxy a couple days ago and he had some thoughts on what may be causing issues there. Unfortunately he's out of town speaking at the Bitcoin conference in Texas this week but I'll get together with him about this when he returns.

Resolved and running! Thanks!

MultiMiner version 2.7.6 is now available. This bugfix release includes the following changes:

• Port is now specified when reporting Network Devices to MobileMiner (for cases where multiple miners are running on one device)
• Fixed an error updating MultiMiner on all rigs using MultiMiner Remoting with more than 10 rigs (InvalidOperationException)
• Improved performance integrating with the MobileMiner API
• Fixed a rare application crash if a specific network timeout occurred
• Fixed a rare NULL reference exception on startup

Mote notably this release lightens the load on MobileMiner when running multiple Network Devices and MultiMiner.

[ManeBjorn]

This won't mess up the pre-release DualMiner support will it?
Or should I wait until the official release of BFG 4 and MultiMiner?

Won't mess anything up - those changes made it into MultiMiner 2.7.5.

Thanks for the update.
Just deployed it on all my rigs.

There is still a persistent bug in the MobileMiner app for iOS. All rigs show as offline in Status, even thought they are not.

Keep up the great work !

Can you check to see if this is happening on the HTML5 app?

Also note that the MobileMiner API has been up and down this evening as I tuned many things for the increase in users I am seeing.
