MobileMiner: Monitor & Control your Farm from your Browser or Phone w/Open API

[nwoolls]

Hey folks - just wanted to show a quick preview of the upcoming support for the iOS 8 Today Screen in our iOS app:



This and more should be ready when iOS 8 drops. Happy mining!  

Another new feature for iOS 8 - you can swipe to Stop and Restart mining from notifications:



Stopping mining requires entering your passcode if you have that OS feature enabled in iOS.

Coming soon!

I've added my MobileMiner code in Minera but on my phone it doesn't show any active devices. Am I missing some important thing to activate or something? Even tried making a new account/code but no success.

Can you check the web app?

Also could you please email your MobileMiner application key or registered email address to nate @ mobileminerapp.com.

I haven't been able to make this software work...I like the idea of this app.  Can you give me a little bit more assistance I have tried everything.

What mining software are you using?

[Jybrael]

I am using CGminer to do most of the mining work for me right now I am putting the mining on hold can't decide which one is profitable to mine ;-(

[nwoolls]

Going over the numbers - MobileMiner is currently managing 300 Th/s SHA2 and 3 Th/s Scrypt!  

[panqueque]

this is a really great extension to a really great app

Hi folks - just a quick note to let you know that the MobileMiner HTML5 app now supports Hour, Day, Week, and Month views for the various historical charts:



Happy mining!

Don't know if you'd be able to help or not since you're not the author of this script, but how do I run CGMinerMobileAdapter on Windows? I have no idea how to install it or run it. I have python installed, but can't figure out what to do with the install.sh file. When I run the python script directly a prompt window opens then immediately closes... can't tell what it does, because it's too quick.

From taking a quick look at the install.sh that portion is not made for Windows at all. So you'll need to read through the install.sh script and try to make out what needs to happen on Windows.

https://github.com/dreadpiratepj/CGMinerMobileAdapter/blob/master/install.sh

It looks like you'll need to install argparse using pip. There is information on installing Python and pip on Windows here:

http://stackoverflow.com/a/9038397/33112

It looks like you'll also need to manually create a settings.conf file and then place your email address, application key, and machine name each on separate lines.

Finally you should be able to run the CGMinerMobileAdapter.py using Python from the command line.

You may have an easier time using MultiMiner as you only need to unzip it and it will detect miners and submit their statistics to MobileMiner.

I would but this is the computer that's going to be running my RockMiners, so CGMiner seems to be the only viable option to be running them at full speed.

You don't need to actually perform the mining with MultiMiner. MultiMiner will automatically detect any other miners on your network as long as their RPC API is enabled. You can monitor and manage those miners from within MultiMiner and benefit from MobileMiner support.

https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/wiki/Network-Devices#network-devices

So run CGMiner (however you want) using the --api-listen, --api-port and --api-allow commands and you should be all set. MultiMiner will pick up the miners and submit them to MobileMiner. There's a "Network Only" option under Settings > Advanced Settings specifically for this scenario where MultiMiner will not, itself, be mining.

Try to configure the CGMiner config for this to work:

This is what I got:

Code:

But MultiMiner isn't picking it up. I'm running MM on the same computer as CGMiner.

What is the IP address of the machine?

Edit: scratch that. In reviewing the network scan code I see I remove the local PC IP addresses as an optimization. So for now (until I fix that) you'll need to quit MultiMiner and edit the NetworkDevicesConfiguration.xml file (found in %appdata%\MultiMiner on Windows) and add an entry manually, e.g.:

Code:

 <NetworkDevice>
    <IPAddress>10.X.Y.Z</IPAddress>
    <Port>4028</Port>
    <Sticky>true</Sticky>
    <Hidden>false</Hidden>
    <RecentCommands />
  </NetworkDevice>

  </NetworkDevice>

Got ya... I set-up another computer to use MultiMiner directly for all the other hardware I have, and the CGMiner process is being detected there (as a network device), so as you said it's the local IP address thing, since the other computer is seeing it.

Good to hear it's working.

The latest version of MultiMiner (3.8.4) updates the scanning code to find miners on the same PC. You need to make sure you whitelist the network-facing IP, not just 127.0.0.1 (which you already have).

On the webpage I have all my miners, but on my mobile about only the half of them.

Any ideas why?

How many miners total, and how many are showing in the mobile app? The mobile app uses different limits on data due to its nature.

173-175 total.

About the half shows.

If you want me to count them and check I need some time.  

Yup - you're hitting the limit on the mobile apps. I'll bump it in the next round of updates. What OS (iOS, Android, WP)?

Edit: in the meantime the HTML5 site should show all of your machines: http://web.mobileminerapp.com

Yep, the web is fine.

I have only problem with the mobil app. I'm using Android.

Thanks for clarifying - I'll get the mobile apps updated ASAP.

Maybe any news on this one?

Edit: only CC payment to upgrade?
