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

[nwoolls]

Another suggestion:
Currently, any time any change is made on the Coin settings page, all miners are stopped are restarted, which is quite inefficient.
a) It doesn't make any sense to do this is strategies are turned off, unless pool information for an active coin has been changed.
b) It doesn't make sense to do this if strategies are turned on, unless pool info for an active coin has changed, or profitability changes mean that a new coin should be selected.

True, but it's also something you don't do much after getting things setup. It's been mentioned before and I understand (and it does bother me from time-to-time), but checking to see if any of the numerous changes in any of the settings dialogs could affect mining isn't necessarily straight forward. I try to keep the code simple which means less time spent fixing bugs and more time adding features.

Let me know if I've overlooked a scenario where this would be a problem on a day-to-day basis rather than during initial setup of coins & pools.

With MultiMiner 1.3.42 and bfgminer 3.3.0, SHA-256 mining constantly crashes. This is the output when taking the flags and putting them directly into bfgminer. I'm not sure what's going on. Gotta downgrade

Let me know how bfgminer 3.2.1 works. I use 3.3.0 and haven't had any issues with SHA-256 mining but every system is different.

I downgraded to 3.2.1 with the latest MM, and all is well.

Feature request:  Interface with the mine peon, anubis based mining server/web ui ... may require some changes in their stuff as well but interfacing the 2 projects makes you both all that much better.  I'd love to be able to use your mobile miner for instance to update the mine ninja settings and check hash rates etc.

You can do this already. If you use bfgminer as the backend miner and then enable the Stratum Proxy feature under the Advanced backend miner settings:



Then in the MinePeon UI enter the IP for your MultiMiner machine and the port specified in the dialog above.

Your MinePeon (and any other devices you point at the proxy) will show up under the Stratum Proxy device.

Is there any way to use a script-jane miner for coins like Lottery Tickets (TIX)?

[nwoolls]

Is there any way to use a script-jane miner for coins like Lottery Tickets (TIX)?

I've never heard of Scrypt-Jane myself, sounds like something for CPU mining?

MultiMiner uses both cgminer and bfgminer on the backend. If those end up supporting Scrypt-Jane then MultiMiner will too.

please add OSC,TEK,BFC

Are those coins? You can add any coins you want. You don't have to select one of the ones in the drop down.

Yes they are new coins some on exchanges and some are on their way to.

[nwoolls]

Yes they are new coins some on exchanges and some are on their way to.

When you add a new coin configuration a dialog is shown with a list of existing coins. However, you can type whatever you want into that dialog. It doesn't have to be something from the list.

If you type in a coin that does not exist, another dialog will pop up allowing you to enter the exchange symbol for the coin and the type of algorithm.

Hope that helps!

The world coin difficulty comes as 1.8 hence the 457% profitability, but its difficulty is actually 7.43 as of now, and it said it updated 1 minute ago. Also it never switches from WorldCoin except for 10 mins this morning for florin but according to http://coinchoose.com/ there are ones with more than 457% profitability

WorldCoin is not currently being returned by the CoinChoose API:

http://www.coinchoose.com/api.php?base=BTC

That may be causing issues for you.

ah i see... well im going to continue mining it still, does seem to be a good coin.

A new prerelease of MultiMiner is now available with the following changes:

• Added support for specifying a stratum port (in addition to the existing getwork port) for the built in Stratum Proxy (under advanced miner settings)
• The machine name is now sent with notifications pushed out to MobileMiner
• Block found notifications are now optional (enabled in the Coins dialog)
• Added the option to be notified when shares are accepted (enabled in the Coins dialog)

Let me know if you run into any issues. I am working on getting things stable for a 1.4 release (which should also include support for some new hardware).

since i updated to the new relese I keep geting this error

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Can you zip up and send me the XML files in your %appdata%\MultiMiner folder? Thanks!

Thanks. Just double-checking: are you mining coins not on CoinChoose? It looks like that is causing the bug.

Edit: If you are mining coins not on CoinChoose, give this a try: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8q2paqzjnfikl2r/MultiMiner-1.3.43.zip

I was getting the same errors every minute or so on all of my miners. It started when Cryptsy did their server migration tonight. They were down for about an hour during the process. The coins on coinchoose that had Cryptsy as the exchange are no longer listed on the website. I imagine this is what is causing the .net framework errors. I installed the version from the latter post and the errors are not occurring anymore.
