Is the issue already resolved where when cgminer is restarted that the correct pool (the one of the customer) is connected to again? And also his/her backup pools?

Enable save command and will work.

FYI, for those using BAMT, the save call in the api will create a new cgminer.conf under /.cgminer/cgminer.conf  .
This is of course useless since BAMT starts cgminer pointed to /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf

A workaround is to schedule a job to check for updates to /.cgminer/cgminer.conf and overwrite /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf . This will restore your customers pools in the event that you need to reboot/power outage/etc. Unfortunately the cgminer.conf created is a bit over-complicated, and duplicates values for each of your GPUs, even if the values are the same for all of them... regardless it does work, and is the best for the customer.

Login to your BAMT box using ssh and perform the following:
sudo crontab -e
Add the following to the bottom of the crontab (This will check for updates every 5 minutes and only overwrite when changes are made)

Code:

*/5 * * * * cp -u /.cgminer/cgminer.conf /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf >/dev/null 2>&1

Exit (and save)


Also, please keep in mind that SMOS linux has a script that will periodically mine for the developers, thus robbing your customers of time. Use BAMT or SMOS bee edition, or manually remove the offending code.

Hey, thanks a lot for this.  it's a great help.  i have 3 concerns, but bear in mind, i'm a linux idiot, so please, speak to me like i'm a child...

1.  when i save the file - command-o, it says "File Name to Write: /tmp/crontab.xbPyzp/crontab".  Why the odd tmp path?  am i really accomplishing anything, or just editing a tmp file that won't survive a reboot?

2.  before i made this change, my cgminer .cgconfig file contained my pools and the rest of my cgconfig info.  of course, it also granted lease rig's server access to my api.  after this change, it now has duplicate entries for each gnu, just like you said it would.  but it still has my pools and not my renter's pools.  if i remove my pool info from my cgconfig i can't start cgminer without it error'ing out.  shouldn't i see my renter's pool info in my cgconfig file now?

3.  if my rig is not rented, it mines under my pool.  when someone rents it, it always goes straight to their pool.  that part is very reliable.  so why have to make this workaround in the first place - why not just schedule the server to force it to the renter's pool every x minutes, whether it needs it or not?  wouldn't that be more elegant?

Here we go; scrypt-jane, nfactor and whatever kind of algos - as long as you run cgminer or some sort of forked off- cgminer which has same API as cgminer, then this will work. Don't forget to include details of your config (nfactor numbers) when listing your rig that way, so customers will know what they are hiring. Simple method is to simply say in description box that your rig is for mining VTC for example.

I was looking into this scrypt-jane all morning, and it's a mess!
Am I right I need to have different miner app/start miner with different settings for each coin? It's not that simple like pointing scrypt machine at different pool.

Yes, thats why details are needed. In most cases, rig will be possible to mine only certain coin. Configure it for VTC, looks like there is high demand for it - I guess you could rent it for high price too.

Ezo it would be nice if admin could also see a pool password of the user that is renting (if save for cgminer not work), (if save dont work, and user changed password from "x" we got a problem)

I've setup a rig for nFactor, I'm testing stability now before enabling it

[Squirreljester]

Guys, just set your prices lower. There are hundreds of customers waiting to get this great service with bulk rig management and all, but with so high prices, it is not worth their risk. I set my rigs low and they are snapped in a moment they appear free, having almost constant 24/7 rental rate on them And yes, I am still making like 20-30% more compared to multipools like middlecoin. The goal is not to be greedy.

The problem is, the prices are so low now that I make more mining on my own than I could ever make renting right now, because of the prices.

What are you mining?! Besides gambling on fresh new alt-coins that may go nowhere..

The whole point of this service is to offer your rig if you dont want or dont have time to scout for coins, but still want to make a bit more than on multipools, being paid in advance. Else you shouldnt offer your rig.

Ok everything seems to work fine so I enabled my rig but just to be sure it's only for small leases.

Remember that since hashrate is halved with nFactor, price is rated 2x higher.

Edit: Crashed... Working on a better config for cgminer.

But at the rate that middlecoin is going today, it does look like they may hit .016-.017 BTC/Mh/day today...  with my rigs rented for another 60hours at .0158 BTC/Mh/day

Oh no!  You might lose out on a potential $2-3 USD

Actually if it reaches .017 thats a 5.80 loss per day for me, what to speak if it keeps going up, and for another 2 and a half days, that a potential $15+ dollar loss, or .02BTC

I tried to put one of my rigs to VTC and had same issue - cgminer simply crashed. And that wasn't enough - it crashed my whole rig lol. I am not putting my rigs to VTC, because I simply have no time to prepare everything, but others, I really suggest you to - you can earn some extra there for sure.

This extra is due to unexchanged coins that were accumulated in past few days. When I check average income on middlecoin for past 10 days, looks like you were getting around 0.01 BTC/MH/day and not more. So, having price 0.014 BTC/MH/day is actually very good and your rig gets hired instantly.

I noticed that once the first pool of the customer is dead, it switches perfectly over to the 2nd pool of the customer. But when the first pool comes back up, it seems like it doesn't ever switch back to it.
So I assume you don't have a failover system in place like cgminer does? Meaning it switches back to the first pool if it is back up. I am pretty sure the customers would like to see that implemented.

This is up to cgminer. If cgminer is configured properly, then failover will work just fine. Keep in mind that cgminer takes like 5 min to switch back to first pool (sgminer takes 1min).

Can you please link one miner address on middlecoin that has been mining steadily who was paid more than 0.12/MH/24hours for any of the last 3 days?
All the ones I look at are getting around 0.007-0.010 while lease-rig has been paying 0.014-0.016 steadily.

What about when middle coin was lower than that and you were renting your rig > .02 You din't complain then did you

[kenshirothefist]

My caveminer01 rig is setup for mining Vertcoin. It's hashing @2.1Mh/s for Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor which is equal to approximate @4.3Mh/s regular Scrypt. That's why the price is set to 0.03625000 BTC/Mh/s/day (that would be equal to 0.018 BTC/Mh/s/day for regular Scrypt).

You're welcome to rent it: caveminer01 at http://leaserig.net/

If demand will be high enough, I'll add additional VTC miners.

Who would complain about making more? Your statement is invalid

You should change its type in admin panel so there will be no confusion around it

Good job! Lets get some VTC rigs!
