This isn't the first time this has occurred. It has actually happened several times but I have let it go thinking it was a rental where someone rented my unit and scored blocks on low difficulty coins.
By the way Thank you for your reply sir. I always appreciate it.
Unfortunately I do not have anything anywhere near 50 bill and I haven't had anything up for rent in weeks so I am at a loss as to why the monitor shows a block. Knowing you've solved a block is a big deal to some of us. I do not know if I have ever had a miner solve a block.
If I kept everything pointed at Kano.IS I would know wouldn't I?
I am going to figure out how to get data from API calls and put it somewhere so I can figure out how to know.
I am also going to find or make something which gets the current buy / sell prices from as many exchanges as possible for BTC and I think API calls are my best way to do so.
If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Back on Topic for here, My SP20s do not show the correct hashrate. I read this thread today from the first page to here and see where one other person had the same issue.
It looks like mdude recommends you get all your data via http and not ssh so I have mine setup that way.
See in this picture where I show what the pool side shows for miner 47 and it is accurate in so far as that is what I see when I login locally through the SP20 web app. I also show what M's Miner Monitor displays for miner 47. I tried using 5.2 and MMinerMonitor53b1
47,48,50,51 are SP20s and these are the ones shown. All of my SP20s have the same issue.
With the pool monitor you can see where it shows the score as well. 51 is the SP20 which has a 1 in the block column next to it in M's mimer Monitor. The rest show 0
If I select the checkbox for API access in M's Miner Monitor, then config, all I get are the same values except my uptime goes to error.
I followed the instructions in the OP to allow API access to the SP20.
SSH to your miner
type "vi /etc/cgminer.conf"
NOTE: with newer firmware it may be cgminer.conf/template
On my SP20, I see one line of data that start with this:
{"api-listen":true,"api-allow":"W:127.0.0.1","pools":
press 'i' on your keyboard to allow editing
scroll to the end of the section that reads "W:127.0.0.1" and add ",your ip", like this where "your ip" is the IP address the monitoring app is running from. It should look something like this:
{"api-listen":true,"api-allow":"W:127.0.0.1,192.168.0.194","pools":
press Esc, ':' then 'w' and then 'q' and press enter.
Then it statesRestart cgminer from the miner console, and on the pools tab you should see the new API allow.
I can check the pools page in the local web gui for the SP20 and it shows my IP along with the 127.0.0.1 just as Mdude's instructions show it should. If I restart anything from the local miner web gui and check pools the IP I added is gone.
I must not understand exactly what is meant by:
Restart cgminer from the miner console
I know Mdude stays hooked up and busy so if anyone has any suggestions no matter how trivial please drop me a line.
Ultimately I want to have specific local miner and pool data taken at random intervals and I set flags for various items of interest. Hashrate drops to a certain point, best share over a certain value, temperature highs / lows, etc, etc so I am going to have to learn how to get this data myself and record it.
I keep running M's Miner Monitor for a bit and then stopping for a while, but it is so handy compared to anything else I have seen, or obviously if I can customize the data provided to me, again with API calls then that is probably what I should do.
I have to learn how to do it heh
Thanks Again!
