[ANN] Miner Control 1.6.1 - Auto profit switching miner controller

[StuffOfInterest]

This piece of software is amazing.
I would be even more amazing with monero mining support.

What do you think ?

Miner Control can mine anything because it doesn't actually do the mining.  All Miner Control does is contact pools to get pricing info and then launch an external mining program with the configuration you specify.  There is nothing which will keep it from mining Monero.  The problem comes in getting pricing info.  Miner Control works by calling to a pool's API to retrieve pricing info.  Those prices need to be in Bitcoin in order to rank the profitability and select which pool/algo to mine.  So, short answer is yes you can use Miner Control to mine Monero but only if the pool has a pricing API in Bitcoin.

Mind you, I know next to nothing about coding, but wouldn't it be possible to use the miner to check for life? Let's say you're mining with miner A, and you want to check if service B is alive. You then start miner B, and if it gets a block or other sign of life, you close miner A and let miner B do it's thing. If it doesn't get a sign of life, you close miner B and let miner A continue.

Yeah dude, I thought of that as well. But having 10 pools to check it means MC has to open 10 instances of a miner? Every minute?... :) Even with 5 that would be too much.
Anyhow - I hope there are more knowledgeable people that can help with how to check for an alive pool. Maybe someone from the sgminer devs? The sgminer code is available for everybody to look at, right? If somebody can read it that would be great.

Does ccminer allow for failovers?

Alright. So I own 70+ AMD GPU's and have had the following set up all summer: MRR's on a bunch of different algos with two pools for each one I am trying to use the API to mark whatever other algos are not being rented as "unavailable" when one of the algos is rented. So i have all the same rigs as listed on x11, x13, x15 on MRR.

If no MRR, Then Nicehash, but I Have some pretty high parameters for profitability.

If no Nicehash, then I have a number of pools where I can just go into and slap the port number on there on various pools. Suchpool, coinking, ipominer, etc. Right now I'm x11 multiport coinking into Darkcoin i Believe.

What sgminer does that ccminer and this tool will not is allow this order of events to occur. which is what jjjordan was trying to get at, I believe. I have sold about half of my AMD's and I'm honestly sitting on cash and mining cryptonight with the few maxwell's i have while I want for a tool like this to be developed. This is the closest I've seen to what I need. I would be more than willing to throw some BTC at this project should it accomplish what I want it to. This is my AMD code below: Once ccminer can accomplish this, I'll be buying a ton of maxwells.

Mind you, I know next to nothing about coding, but wouldn't it be possible to use the miner to check for life? Let's say you're mining with miner A, and you want to check if service B is alive. You then start miner B, and if it gets a block or other sign of life, you close miner A and let miner B do it's thing. If it doesn't get a sign of life, you close miner B and let miner A continue.

Yeah dude, I thought of that as well. But having 10 pools to check it means MC has to open 10 instances of a miner? Every minute?... Even with 5 that would be too much.
Anyhow - I hope there are more knowledgeable people that can help with how to check for an alive pool. Maybe someone from the sgminer devs? The sgminer code is available for everybody to look at, right? If somebody can read it that would be great.

Does ccminer allow for failovers?

Alright. So I own 70+ AMD GPU's and have had the following set up all summer: MRR's on a bunch of different algos with two pools for each one I am trying to use the API to mark whatever other algos are not being rented as "unavailable" when one of the algos is rented. So i have all the same rigs as listed on x11, x13, x15 on MRR.

If no MRR, Then Nicehash, but I Have some pretty high parameters for profitability.

If no Nicehash, then I have a number of pools where I can just go into and slap the port number on there on various pools. Suchpool, coinking, ipominer, etc. Right now I'm x11 multiport coinking into Darkcoin i Believe.

What sgminer does that ccminer and this tool will not is allow this order of events to occur. which is what jjjordan was trying to get at, I believe. I have sold about half of my AMD's and I'm honestly sitting on cash and mining cryptonight with the few maxwell's i have while I want for a tool like this to be developed. This is the closest I've seen to what I need. I would be more than willing to throw some BTC at this project should it accomplish what I want it to. This is my AMD code below: Once ccminer can accomplish this, I'll be buying a ton of maxwells.

Code:

ccminer doesn't inherently support failover but with Miner Control it is able to accomplish the same effect.  You can configure ccminer to exit after several unsuccessful attempts to connect.  Miner Control detects this exit and marks a pool as dead for a period of time and goes to the next most profitable service/algo.  That is how the sample config in the thread's lead post is setup.

I am doing the same thing has jjjordan, and am looking for a superceding function when rented. I can set the reset time to 10 minutes so then i get 10 minutes of uninterrupted mining, but it also takes 10 minutes for the renter to connect. In addition, and to jjjordan's posts, every 10 minutes it must go through the miners and find the one that is alive.

Also, since Nicehash allows for minimum profitability to be built into passwords, does that work with MC? Below is my config for MRR, and nicehash, with built in cryptonight mining as well.

Would there be a possibility of adding WePayBTC to your stable of pools?  There is a very basic API here http://wepaybtc.com/payouts.json.  The miner is setup specific for them and includes a "percentage" where 100% is the reference.  When you mine there, the miner shows you your own percentage.  With that custom miner percentage, applied to the json data to calculate profit, I would think this might just be possible.  WePayBTC has been topping the PoolPicker list over NH/WH since they debuted on the list.

Should be easy to work with that pool based on what the API is returning.  I would like to know a little more about it in terms of how the number is calculated but I'm not too concerned.  It would also be nice if they had a balance API to pull in how much a person has sitting on the pool.  That's something every other pool has been able to provide.

[ghotiphry]

I agree with you on the limited API.  They calculate the percentage by how much processing power your miner throws at it.  The payout is actually a static number, right now it's 100% = 0.0010 BTC per day, as indicated by the API "reference" field.  The other fields are just converted to different algos, although I'm not sure of the calculations they use for those conversions.  At their web site they say they only update the API when the daily static payout changes, so their conversion calculations might not fluctuate based on market conditions.

OK, released version 1.5.5 with WePayBTC support.  It is up to you to handle setup. I don't have AMD cards so I can't test it myself but it does get the pricing information.

If the pool would add per-protocol ports it would be possible to mine with nVIDIA cards and Miner Control on this pool, in case someone wants to pester them.

Wow that was fast.. any attempt to look at MRR and plug into their API for renting out rigs?

Give me a link for their API and point me to the connection info and I can tell you if it is possible.  If they have pricing in BTC via a JSON API then it will be easy to add the same level of support as I just did for WePayBTC but if there is anything more complicated with the rig rental API then it may be beyond what can be easily integrated into Miner Control.

From what I can tell in their source code of their sgminer is that they transmit additional information through the stratum connection that tells the miner what port to mine.

I can't actually figure out how to plug in WePayBTC.  Problem is you're not given an algo, or a price, or even a hash rate.  You are given a price in BTC/day, the actual Net.  So how to get to that rate in the MC's Net column without the contributing factors?

As I understand it the api is returning the BTC/day/khash (which I convert to per mhash).  If you look at the sample config all you should need to do is plug in your launch parameters for the service.  Use the same for all algos.  If one algo moves ahead of another it will trigger a restart for mining but behind the scenes WePayBTC will select the algo it wants to mine.

Not going to happen.  This API is a full on management API not just a pricing set.  The method of operation is completely different than how Miner Control was intended to be used.  If you want to rent your rig via a rig rental service then you pretty much need to dedicate to that rather than switching between pools and rental.  Maybe there is a solution out there for integrating the two solutions but I don't see it here and someone will have to provide clear information on what to do as I'm really not interested enough to invest significant time figuring this out.  Sorry.

Ah, thats fine. I would be willing to throw btc to make it happen. I can do all that I want to do with sgminer, but not ccminer . I guess i'll keep looking around and trying to get sgminer-like features in ccminer.

Considering that Miner Control is open source, you could always offer a bounty for someone to add the support you are looking for.  If someone comes up with a good solution I can even merge that change back into the main branch of Miner Control (preferably via a pull request on GitHub).
