How many miners do you plan on connecting to the proxy? it could be just a waste of time and effort if the number is small.
but I'm pretty confused as to how the proxy works. How do I know what server port my ASICs are connected to? I need to configure the proxy for multiple pools as I have some of my friends' machines here as well.
You can create as many servers on the proxy as you want, you can create
1-
Name - Myserver
Port - 5555
Pool - Viabtc
Worker - Myworker
2-
Name - Friend1
Port - 6666
Pool - Viabtc
Worker - Friend1Worker
3-
Name - Friend2
Port - 7777
Pool - Braiin
Worker - Friend2Worker
---------------------------------------
This will create 3 local mining pools on your PC/ raspi or whatever
Then on your miner:
Pool URL : IP-Adderss of the PC the hosts the proxy + port number (5555)
Worker: Myworker.1
Password:x
On your Friend1 miner
Pool URL : IP-Adderss of the PC the hosts the proxy + port number (6666)
Worker: Friend.1
Password:x
--------------------------------------------
The worker on the miner itself will not reflect on the pool it would be just for you to watch on the proxy screen.
Setting up a proxy is not so hard yet not so easy, so if you don't have a few dozen gears -- probably a waste of time.
