[GUIDE] How to rent your rig on LEASERIG.NET - Scrypt & SHA256

[djeZo]

Nice, thanks for pointing that out.

So if/when we suffer an internet or power outage and a lease gets interrupted, how is the customer service handled. Does the lease time get auto-extended to cover the outage?

No, because LeaseRig cannot record reliably whether outage really happened (can be other reasons such as temporary lost connection with LeaseRig).

Pardon my ignorance, but how do I find my "trust thread"? I've been poking around and doing searches but cannot figure it out.

UPDATE: Oh for crying out loud, I just saw the link at the lower left side.... 

Create one. Check my signature for example.

On my rigs not currently leased, I'm seeing more use of the backup pool than usual. Does the proxy load balance between the pools or try to always use the 1st pool if it's up?

Always use first pool - as soon as it is able to connect to first one, it will terminate connection with the other one and make miner connect to first one.

Yeah I found the problem, some ports were mapped wrong on my router.

Pools.conf will get overwritten with your default pools when lease is over.

Is there a bit of a time delay for this to occur? I had a lease expire several minutes ago, but it is still mining the customer's pool and pools.conf isn't updated so far on my proxy server.

Looks like your default pool was not correct? Could you drop me a PM with image how you have it configured in admin panel?

Errhh, OK, so I'm new and trying to get things set up. I got the BAT file running and somehow got CGWATCHER running with my backup pools in action. I can see the stats updating on my backup pool  (Wafflepool) so that part seems OK.

But I haven't figured out how to run a test yet - whatever port I try just gets a failure to connect. In the meantime, I see my miner (Strongminer in Scrypt) listed on the page of rigs available for lease! Is it a safe bet that I have things set up correctly if it is listed and running my personal pools, even if I can't test it? Or should I shut it down until I'm more confident things will work if it gets rented?

Thanks!

UPDATE:
Two people have done 1-hour rentals since I posted this (I would have shut down after the first, but was out wrestling a goat...). The first one had a lot of trouble of some sort judging from what I could see, although at least part of the time it seemed to be running OK for him. I'm offering a refund though. The 2nd one seems to be working OK. So I asked the first if the problem might have been with their configuration or if they were confident they knew what they were doing.

One other oddity: at some point during the first rental the system rebooted and the Windows font size shrank to the smallest setting. I have no idea why that would happen, as it's not happened before and is something I've never messed with either related to mining or otherwise.

If you use method B, it is strongly suggested to run the test - so you know whether your config will save pools in case of rig failures so you do not loose customers pools.

Method A (LRP) does not need any test performed. It will work out of the box.

I wound up using the LRP option as I couldn't figure out the other option quickly. I gave a refund to the first renter. Just hope things are stable from here out. Thanks a lot for your excellent feedback and help.

New LeaseRigProxy version released:

v0.5b
- connection keep-alive with LeaseRig (eliminate connection timeout
  with some routers/firwalls/OSs)
- share calculation time is now 10 minutes (previous 5 minutes)
- increased buffer for saved shares (to eliminate low speed error
  with large rigs when doing low diff shares)

Thanks to several providers helping me catch the issues so I could fix them. Basically, this update is recommended to be installed by anyone, unless you really have no issues with LRP. But if you do notice one of following, then you should install it:
- if your connection with LeaseRig is constantly timing out
- if you have large rig (7+ mhs) this version correctly displays hashing speed calculated out of shares when you are mining on pool with low diff shares

[ebliever]

Suggestion: Could the Status column of rigs have an indicator for each rig as to whether the hashrate is direct from CGminer or based on shares accepted (and thus fluctuating)? (Such as a D or A in each column?) That might reassure renters if they see numbers a bit off from the rating of each rig. (There should also be an explanation of the difference somewhere for new readers.)

Better yet, would be to make the field a link to the stats page of each rig (like we can see from the admin panel), so they can verify the rig's performance more accurately. [UPDATE: Never mind, I see that this very graph appears when you click "Hire"!]

I am a little concerned because Leaserig seems to be reporting a hashrate a little lower than (1) what I see in CGminer and CGWatcher and (2) lower than what Wafflepool is reporting. (I assume my hashrate is being measured by Accepts rate.) I'm getting 3.74 Mhash (vs. the 3.7 rating I gave it on Leaserig) for Strongminer in CGWatcher, and Wafflepool (my backup pool) has been reporting somewhat higher Mhash than I see at any given time on the Leaserig page. My accepts/minute is as good as ever on Wafflepool and things are running well. So any idea what might be happening or what I could do about it?

(BTW, I am on a tight bandwidth cap for internet, so I have to avoid anything that might boost traffic on my rig; since I assume a direct hashrate measurement from CGMiner would involve frequent extra data transfer I'd like to avoid it if possible.)

Same here. I had a lease run out at 1:14am and it was not able to change back to my pool info. The last person that rented from me ended up with 7.5 free hours until I noticed and manually deleted his pools. He had about 8 pools configured and I could delete all but one. I could also see it swapping to his backup pools as I was deleting from the top of the list, but the last pool would not delete.

I had to edit the pools.conf in order to get my pool back up.

After checking out BuildTheFuture default pools - te issue was he had pools with final slash at the end - this is incorrect URL for stratum. Make sure your URL is correct.

Last pool cannot be deleted - same as with cgminer - you cant delete last pool out.

If I want my LRP to be able to calculate speed from connected rigs I have to add:

Code:

--api-listen --api-allow W:192.168.1.110 --api-port 7777

??
192.168.1.110 is my cgminer pointed to the LRP
But it does not work, anyone could elaborate how to menage LRP to read speed from cgminer?

Allow-ip has to be IP of your proxy.

Could you add an feature to the emails whenever a customer pays with DOGE, also include the equivalent current BTC amount. Or would an auto-trade to BTC be possible?

[djeZo]

You get mail with amount paid saying either BTC or DOGE.

Awesome work on adding Doge payments! Any plans to add Litecoin?
