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

[shaxs]

1) Is there a way to automatically switch pools after x amount of time frame? Say I want to mine a pool for 24 hours and automatically switch to another pool after that time is up?

Currently this can only be done based on profitability or difficulty or price, not on a strict rotation.

What are you trying to achieve? There may be another way to handle it.

I rent out, or do mining contracts for 12h increments. So I have to setup manual reminders and go in and manually change the pool back to my pool or the next user's pool. It would be nice to automate this somehow.

Are they physical devices connected to MultiMiner or are they Network Devices that MultiMiner discovered?

Antminer S1 over the network.

Antminer S1 over the network.

Are you able to calculate the split based on a percentage rather than hours-a-day? If so you should be able (in theory) to setup the S1 to use the quota argument found in CGMiner to split the work between multiple pools, e.g.:

Code:

--quota '25;url' -u user -p pass --quota '25;url' -u user -p pass --quota '50;url' -u user -p pass

It doesn't need to add up to 100 either. This would be within the cgminer config file on the S1.

Possibly. Lets say I rent it out for 24 hours then it needs to revert to my pool...not sure how that would work. And does this do the quote every day? I contract in 24 hour blocks and then it is over unless they buy another.

Gotcha - no I don't think it would work for short term contracts like that. If you want to follow up in private we can discuss what it would take to do something like this. I'm assuming you'd need to keep entering new pool info for new customers, etc. You can contact me via DM on here or via email (in my sig).

Done. Thanks!

Hi Nate,
When I add the --log 5 to the front or after --api-allow it gives me this error and will not connect to mine.

Code:

[Firmware Version] => 20140227
cgminer: 
cgminer-openwrt-packages: bb677a2+
luci: d2fe67a
Socket connect failed: Connection refused

I am stumped.

I had it in there before.  Would this be the correct order for it?

Code:

--log 5 --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/24

More weirdness with the Avalon reporting.
It still reports on each instance of MuMi just not the current hash rate.
Now it shows as running in MobileMiner but does not show the hash rate anymore.  This just started a couple hours ago.
The Avalon is running great with no issues.
I have no idea what is wrong.  I have tried everything.  Could you help me please?

You need to add --log 5 to the arguments for the Avalon. That should make the current hashrate show in both MultiMiner and MobileMiner.

Can you check the API Log for the entries for your Avalon and then let me know how the current hashrate is reported? Probably something like "MHS 20s".

The --log argument should only affect how often the miner polls for statistics, nothing to do with the API access.

[ManeBjorn]

That is the log.  Nothing else happens.  It is odd.  I have even removed the API arguments to run it from stock and cold booted.

Sorry - I mean in MultiMiner. Right-click and click API Monitor. Look for the "devs" API calls that are going to your Avalon (I'll get IP and Port in that window now that it does remote APIs). You can use CTRL+C and CTRL+V to copy out the values

You should see something like MHS 5s=10000 or MHS 10s=10000 etc. I need to know what the Xs number is.

[ManeBjorn]

Now I cannot get it to mine.
I knew I was playing with fire.  LOL  It has been running between 83 gh/s and 86 gh/s solid for weeks.  I add one line to the api that should not change anything and it stops mining. 
I have the worst luck.
I will figure that out and then get back to you with the info.  Thanks.

This has been submitted to Apple and should be available in under a week.

Great work.
Too bad I don't use an iphone.  Looks great.

I got my problem fixed.  An extra --api was hiding and kept sticking when I would retype.  I had some help it's all good.
I also updated the firmware again while I was down.  LOL  It never ends.

Another nice option would be the ability to name/give label to Miners in the software. I dont think that should be too hard?

[ManeBjorn]

It's there.
Just right click or double click on them and you can rename them.

Both Android and Windows Phone updates will be coming very shortly with the same feature set.

Tell me about it

Nwools, there's a new coin-choosing app that was just announced.  Might be a good alternate for your Coinchoose/Coinwarz woes - if they support APIs...

That is great news.
It is a great project that is for sure.
