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

[Raptor2213]

Minor iOS MobileMiner bug.  When you tap on a miner, it pulls down the details.  After doing so, it is not possible to hide the small strip on the side for the details.  It would seem intuitive that you can click on a blank part of the miners and clear it, but the only way I've found to clear it is to kill the app.

Hi Nate,

Been really happy with MultiMiner for running my gridseeds on win8.1. It's my most troublefree option I've tested. I wanted to post this problem I've been having running 30 gridseeds in MM. It doesn't seem to occur when I have less than 5 - 10 running at once:

More often than not, when I start mining, 1 or 2 or 3 miners won't find shares, or they find 1 or 2 shares then stop. They are hashing full speed the whole time, even the ones not reporting shares. I've tried various combinations of "restart suspect miners" and "detect orphaned miners", but I rarely see an effect on this problem. The problem is not specific to any particular miner or com port, it jumps around.  I hit stop, then start mining again... Previous ones that didn't work, are now working, new ones are now not working. This happens 50-75% of the times I start mining. Its obvious to me when the problem is happening, so I don't wait more than 10 mins usually. If they are all going to work, they tend to all find shares in the 1st 1-2 mins. This has been true for me at any diff setting I use at the pool (multipool.us). But, it only takes about 10 mins of stop/starting to get all of them to work at once, and once they do, they run for days!

thanks

This pic was at a high diff setting, hence the low amount of shares...

Can you please explain the processes you went thru to get multiminer working with your gridseed it would be highly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had similar issues with a lot of AntMiners.  It would be nice if it automatically detected these hung miners and restarted them.

Right on the settings page it has a check box to restart suspect miners.

I'm aware.  It doesn't seem to do it when this happens.

[ManeBjorn]

That is too bad.
I wonder if the final release of BFG 4 will take care of it.

I'm also aware... "I've tried various combinations of "restart suspect miners" and "detect orphaned miners", but I rarely see an effect on this problem. "

However, two times (out of ~100 tests) I have seen the process log state that mm restarted "frozen" miners, but this has been almost impossible to recreate. "Detect suspect miners" seems to happen immediately when you START mining, and when you have 30 miners this can lag for 3 mins or more before any hashing is reported. So I leave that unchecked now. So we've got frozen, suspect, and orphaned miners... maybe Nate could shed some light on this area.

I've read a few posts where people ask for mm to launch multiple instances of bfgminer to make restarting individual miners easier, that seems smart, but I honestly don't care how he gets there. I would love to see some more aggressive restarting of miners based on lack of accepted shares, without restarting all of them. Ideally, if we could rightclick a miner and restarting it manually, that would be awesome.

Was pretty easy.

1. Disabled digital driver signatures in win8.1.
2. Installed gridseed drivers, linked by Nate in this thread.
3. Updated mm, hit hardware scan, waited 5 mins.
4. Replaced bfgminer in users/myuser/local/multiminer/miner with Nate's pre-4.0 test version.
5. that was it.

Once each gridseed device has the proper driver showing in device manager (should say "gridseed orb" for each), hardware scan in mm should detect them. If it doesn't, try a restart of mm or a reboot, then repeat.

ugh: forgot a step...

Does Multiminer support VERTCOIN ?

[Raptor2213]

Does Multiminer support VERTCOIN ?

MultiMiner supports any coins that BFGminer is capable of mining.  If you don't see it in the dropdown, it can be manually added fairly easily.

I tried today to mining vertcoin but it did not work like vertcoin miner.

Does Bfgminer support Vertcoin?

[ManeBjorn]

At this time now it does not.
Vertcoin uses Scrypt N and they have not contributed code to BFG and MM yet.
Anyone who has the ability to help Nate and Luke support it they are open to the help.

I agree with you.

Thank you for support

Your welcome.
I wish I could code so I could help them integrate it.

Multiminer crashed and it doesn't want to start anymore.  Using MM 2.8.4 in ubuntu 13.10 64 bit here is the terminal output:

Is there a way to manually add network miners?  I have a few Antminer S1s that I am connecting to through ssh tunnels.  MultiMiner doesn't seem to detect them.  I am able to use CGRemote through the ssh tunnels, but it doesn't have all the feature that Multiminer has. I connected the same laptop to the Antminer's local network and MultiMiner detects them just fine that way. Thanks.

I have been having issues adding the proxy. I enabled the Proxy Settings but my ASICminer Erupter Cubes are not being detected. My USB erupters and GPU are being detected however. I am using the latest version. Is there a reason why the miners would not be detected?

They work just fine with bfgminer normally or miningproxy.exe on the same machine so I ruled out networking on that side. Is there a specific howto on setting up ASICminer Cubes? I havent been able to find one in searching. Also I am using the 32bit version of bfgminer as well.

Hi, I'm mining LiteCoins on CoinHuntr. Say the current hash rate is 450 KH/s for a card, the effective hash rate is listed as something like 300 MH/s. Now if only that were true! Is it just a simple mislabelling, i.e. the effective rate is 300 KH/s? If not, is there a way to get the effective column working correctly?

Thanks.

So I am using Multiminer and Mobileminer, thanks for creating them Nwoolls!

Using it with Gridseed 5-chips, and using Bfgminer 3-10-0, sAystem is Windows 7 and Iphone iso 7

Two issues, I have to start and stop mining a couple times for all the devices to start hashing, is there any fix for that?  Second issue, which I had read else where that its a problem with the gridseed Bfgminer branch I am using?  Is that on mobileminer it only shows 1 USB device but I have 20 of them? 

Thanks to anyone who can help me with these issues, and thanks again Nwoolls for building this great app.

Ok so I switched to the Bfgminer-Windows-Clean branch and I tried to start, stop and start mining, 5 times so far and it seems to have solved the issue for the Gridseed miners submitting shares.  Also switching to that branch solved the Mobilemining problem I had and now all my devices are showing up.  So I guess I didn't even need to post the questions but hopefully others will see this if they had the same problems.

Thanks again

EDIT: The only other thing I am noticing and maybe it is actually more accurate now, is the current and average hashrate.  All of my devices are volt modded ( the two bridge mod not the resistor mod ) I run them all at freq 950.  The 3-10-0 branch would report them running at 403 kh/s steady, the new clean branch they are jumping from 380-404 but are not holding steady.  Probably just a more accurate showing of the hash rate but wanted to state this just incase it may be an issue.  

My wish list:
- ability to set different device frequency's for Gridseed devices, so say one can run at 950 and one at 1150
- go along with the first wish is the ability to do this with the device serial numbers like how girnyau did with cgminer -source code for this is at; https://github.com/girnyau/cgminer-gc3355/commit/ac7ee8b084abcffc8b8431eb515c62ed3e891fb1
