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

[nwoolls]

I will be receiving two "The Fury"s from GAWMiners hopefully within the next two weeks, I will keep everyone posted as to their compatibility with MM

I have a Fury coming from GAW along with a stock ASIC coming directly from Zeusminer so there should be decent support in BFGMiner and MultiMiner within the next few weeks. AFAIK GAW isn't shipping for another week.

Can anybody help me how to setup X11 mining?
I have my miner running with a config.conf file but it's not stable in the long term, so I would like to use multiminer to restart it after 6 hours.

I keep selecting LBSPHSGMiner, but nothing changes.
Also when adding coin I can only select SHA-256 or scrypt.

You can manually add ANY coin you like...just type it in the box

I have yet to switch to X11 yet, hoping I can get that done today after some maintenance.

As mstrongbow indicated you can type whatever you want when adding a coin. If it is not in the list, you will be prompted for an algorithm, including X11.

The reason you don't see more options is you have the Coin API set to CoinChoose.com. CoinChoose is the default because it is free, but it only has SHA and Scrypt algorithms. If you switch to CoinWarz you'll see more coins and algorithms when you add a new configuration.

Howdy folks - there's now a preview of MultiMiner 3.2 with support for LasyBear's fork of SPH-SGMiner, including support for X11, X13, and the modified X11 kernel with ~40% performance improvements.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/n5n8irp190w84jl/MultiMiner-3.2.0.zip

I've updated the 3.2 preview download (same URL) with the following features:

• Added support for arbitrary backend GPU miners - MultiMiner now registers miners found in the Miners\ subfolder
• Removed Vertminer and DarkcoinSGMiner from the default list of backend miners
• The Worker name field is now a drop down that auto-suggests previously used worker names
• Selecting a previously used worker name now automatically enters that workers password (if the current field is blank)
• Adding a new pool now applies some sensible defaults (stratum+tcp:// and port 3333)

Hellsya!

how hard would it be to enable poolers cpuminer? I know cpu isn't used much but I do have some high end xeon cpu's that give me decent hashing rates and would love to be able to start and monitor them via multiminer. I've copied it to the miners directory but I don't think it recognised it.

[bensam123]

This is a smaller request, but consider changing the formatting of address and port to address:port. This simply allows you to copy and past premade URLs on pools for easier setup.

Otherwise good changelog. It'd be nice if you'd add a auto-subscribe to a preview channel. Upgrading to preview on all my miners is a PITA, but the features look great. ><

A little teaser for MultiMiner 4.0:



 

[mstrongbow]

Had another error today, which happened to be a repeat from the other day. I think I saw another forum member post the same error info..
I think I need to update this machine but I cannot remember now. Lemme know if you need anything else from that. Oh yeah, I wanted to note that twhen this error shows, MultiMiner will continue to mine and report until you click the button in the popup dialog box.

I seem to have lost the 'network view' and the ability to see my other miners on my other PC with this latest version (3.1.2)?

I've done a complete uninstall/reinstall of MM on both machines but they no longer see each other within the program though they are networked fine  

Also Nate, what does the 'utility' heading mean?

[BCwinning]

Is there a way to pass arguments to specific devices of the same family?
I have some U1's that I wish to overclock individually. It appears and I might have overlooked it, that the arguments I set
would affect all devices?

Overclocking is done with the --set argument to BFGMiner and is specific to the type of device. It is not applied to all devices. If you want to overclock the U1s you can add the --set argument under Settings > Advanced miner settings > SHA arguments.

Sounds like a coincidence or something transient. There were no changes in 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 other than very minor fixes, unrelated to any mining or network device detection.

You can try rolling back to 3.1.1 though, it's available at http://releases.multiminerapp.com.

Utility is a measure of shares accepted / minute, more-or-less.

I changed algirthm to CoinWarz but still not able to select or use X11 with LBSPHSGMiner. When I select it from the settings, nothing changes. Also when trying to add coin I can only select sha or scrypt. No possibility to use LBSPHSGMiner anywhere. Using cgwatcher at the moment instead.

Using CoinWarz requires you to enter an API key. You can obtain one here:

http://www.coinwarz.com/v1/api/documentation

If you have already added the coin configuration with the wrong algorithm you can correct it by editing CoinConfigurations.xml.

[BillTech]

hey nate any way to add a edit coin button so its easy to change/test different miners on a existing coin

[nwoolls]

What would you change? I'm not seeing the connection between changing a coin configuration and testing different miners.

I think it makes sense to be able to change the algorithm in some way other than editing the XML as I've seen a few folks accidentally specify the wrong algorithm.

[BillTech]

yeah sorry thats where i was going algos/miners etc just to be able to change/fix stuff

Gotcha - thanks just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything.

Okay folks, MultiMiner 3.2 is now publicly available:

• Added support for the X13 algorithm
• X11 mining received a ~40% performance increase
• Added support for arbitrary GPU miners (the Miners\ folder will now be scanned)
• The Worker name field will now suggest previous worker names and will auto-complete the password as well
• Added the ability to edit an existing coin configuration (e.g. algorithm, symbol, name)
• Pasting 'hostname:port' into the Host field will now be handled by MultiMiner
• Sensible defaults added for new pools
• Both Vertminer and DarkcoinSGMiner have been removed from the default miners (LasyBear's SPH-SGMiner fork is now included)
