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

[ManeBjorn]

Raptor2213 and nwools thanks for the idea.
I have thought about it alot but a couple issues is the lack of USB hub space.  Right now I have two Anker 7 ports with 7 ports full between the two.  That nice beast Razorfishsl is selling would be great in this case but then I end up with much less to buy Ants.
It's a toss up right now between a Block 30 to 38 gh/s, 2x Jalapeno's and having them upped to 15 gh/s each, the Ants and a new hub and some blades.
I really like the block for speed but not being a simple USB install has me nervous.  I have a good TP-Link router that handles well all traffic so far but the whole proxy issue with me having in excess of 10 devices that are on the network might cause it to not work well at times from what I read makes me a bit hesitant plus it's older tech.
The Jalapeno's are nice but it is a week or two extra to have them sent to lightfoot for upgrading which would feel like forever.
The Ants would be here super fast but no space to plug most of them in leaves me a bit leery too as the ship time for the Razorfishsl hub seems to take a couple weeks.
The blades are the same deal another device to hook into the network and older tech.
I would love to save up for the S1 but it will literally take me months too.

This decision is difficult to say the least.

This decision is difficult to say the least.  

Do you pay for power? If so I'd really recommend using some calculators that factor in power. The Cube seems attractive because its cheap and 30 Gh/s, but the power consumption per-Gh is not the same as what you see with AntMiner solution hardware (or Bitfury or even BFL). That's why they are being sold for cheap. They won't even pay for their own power consumption for long.

Edit: if you aren't looking for profit and just want easy-to-setup hashes, the Cube is fantastic.

[ManeBjorn]

Quite true.
Power isn't an issue as long as the cows keep pooping here.  We have the methane electricity generation plant here that went online this summer.  So poop power for free.
Still though I don't necessarily want to run something that as I add them means new power lines to my server room.

This decision is difficult to say the least.

It'd also be nice if we could get WU hashrate support as is seen in CGminer. It's a great way of diagnosing problems and utility doesn't seem to have any sort of baseline to compare it against.

This is already in there in 2.4. Click the Utility column header to toggle between Utility and Work Utility.

I may be reading it wrong, but it definitely isn't a hashrate. There isn't a scale or anything explaining what the utility column is in the first place. WU in cgminer actually shows your hashrate being submitted to the pool.

That is shown under the Effective column.

WU:  The Work Utility defined as the number of diff1 shares work / minute
     (accepted or rejected).

Edit: if you are Scrypt mining you'll need to grab a daily build of bfgminer to display an accurate WU and Effective hash-rate:

[Raptor2213]

nwoolls, I'm getting a few AntMiners sometime this week or next.  Is there anything you want me to test for you?

[retek]

Hi =)

Two questions here:
- Is there a way to set per-device bgminer arguments like per-coin and per-pool?
- using a erupter and a ant-usb-miner, choosing the "Difficulty" strategies, MM chooses to set two different coins (for example, eMark and terracoin) for the two devices. Why ?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Not sure about the rest of it, but you can set up per-coin rules in the "miner arguments" section of the coin config.

I cannot see dogecoin mining daily revenue and profit

This happens if the Coin API you have configured in Settings is down or having issues. If it persists turn on the API error notifications under Settings > Advanced service settings.

[nwoolls]

- Is there a way to set per-device bgminer arguments like per-coin and per-pool?

You can set per-device arguments by separating them with a comma under Settings > Advanced miner settings:

Code:

--thread-concurrency 22400,8192

- using a erupter and a ant-usb-miner, choosing the "Difficulty" strategies, MM chooses to set two different coins (for example, eMark and terracoin) for the two devices. Why ?

Under Strategies there's an option to mine "only the single least difficult coin" or "all of the least difficult coins". I'm assuming you have the 2nd selected? If so MultiMiner is going to automatically mine every coin (that you have devices for) that has difficulty lower than your target (Bitcoin), starting with the lowest.

If you set it to "only the single least", only the single coin with the lowest difficulty will be mined.

Yes, this does the work ! Now these options are more clear =)

Okay folks - I need your help in preparing for version 2.5 of MultiMiner. Specifically those of you with more than one rig running MultiMiner!  

Version 2.5 of MultiMiner will feature the #1 request from users: MultiMiner Remoting.

MultiMiner Remoting means being able to view and control any rig on your network exactly as if it were a local MultiMiner instance. There is no need to configure anything, add rigs, or enter IP addresses. Simply enable MultiMiner Remoting in the Configure Perks dialog and your rigs will start showing up automatically in MultiMiner.





This first preview currently only supports viewing, not controlling remote instances. Future updates to this preview will include:

• Remotely controlling any remote instance exactly as if it were a local instance - starting mining, stopping, switching coins, changing settings, etc.
• Farm-specific features, such as pushing coin and pool configurations out to all PCs

Note that you may need to open the following ports or allow MultiMiner.Win.exe itself through your firewall (only internally, not publicly): 50625-50627

Please let me know how this works for you, any issues you encounter, what you love and what you want. Once this is feature-complete and stable I will release it as version 2.5.

And as always, thanks for the feedback and happy mining!

Wow! Awesome!

I will start updating in about 8 hours, all rigs will be updated with this and the daily BFGminer. My rigs are currently solo mining outside of Multi-miner (due to BFGminer issue I have with solo) until difficulty drops on LTC, but once it changes, I'll be moving back and will update then.

We are all very lucky to have you in this community, you've done amazing work, and I've seen how you stepped in to help out on BFGminer as well. Great stuff. Everyone better have the donations going, we can't afford to have you not helping!

Please zip up the XML files found in %appdata%\MultiMiner and post those publicly or privately (it will contain your worker names and passwords which is safe unless you re-use passwords). Thanks!

I have to say this is absolutely not true.

Care to elaborate? Hash-rate in what application? Using what hardware? MultiMiner doesn't install a single thing that would affect anything outside of MultiMiner whatsoever. Most likely you are attributing some other variance to the action of moving or removing MultiMiner.

Edit: If you believe this to be an issue, please use the free utility Jing to record this experience and then post the screencast (they do free hosting as well). That may help more than trying to explain.

I installed the latest version Nwoolls provided earlier that now supports remote monitoring and it is absolutely awesome! I ran into a slight glitch when I used the import function under coins on two machines, but what I did was not a typical process that someone would do. No issues on the other machines. 9 machines loaded, and they all see each other. Clicking on the other machines listed, I see the status as if I was logged into the machine itself.

This is exactly what is needed to manage multiple rigs from one machine!

A couple minor requests (minor in regards to the fact that it's no big deal if they can't get implemented):

1). Ability to sort the machines alphabetically (would love that for coin listing too) under network header
2). Ability to input a low hash rate threshold for each machine (ie. 3x7950, I would expect 1890 to 1950, so I'd input 1870 as a low threshold) and maybe it can show up as red, or such in the list if it dips below the expected rate? This would allow a quick visual check for issues

If I have multiple locations, and I'm VPN'd in, I need to test if it can see multiple networks.

This is going to save so much time! I'm not sure the depth of the remote ability, but if updates could also be done from the remote console, wow!

I say it often, but it's very deserved... THANKS!
