Topic: [ANN] Miner Control 1.6.1 - Auto profit switching miner controller - page 31. (Read 164304 times)

Looks like YAAMP is "down."  Wording is such that I can't figure out if it's a protracted outage or if they've shut it down completely.

Miner Control pulls profitability stats from each pool's api, that's how it knows which pool to switch to.

Nope, can't do that in ccminer, not right now anyway. Sometime in the future. That was the problem we were all trying to get-around. Hence, the use of MC for now. I did just discover that the way I'm using it, it's the last pool in the .conf that it goes to first. But I haven't put nicehash back in to see if that affects it.

Not sure where MC is getting it's BTC price from. I was hoping for a way for it to switch to the 'coin-being-paid out'. No such luck, but that's OK. At least it restarts ccminer for me. I'll be doing more testing and fudging later. Trying to get an S3+ back on-line, right now.

Thanks

I could be wrong but the only multiplier I know of is the one called 'weight'

weight - multiplier to adjust price if you don't fully trust the reported numbers

Unless you count the specified hashrate as a multiplier. 

Rearranging the pools will not change where your miner points.  Miner control simply mines at the pool where it is most profitable.  Maybe you can find the weights of pools that make it do want you want but as long as there is a pool that is more profitable than the one you want to mine at, miner control will always go towards the most profitable based on your inputs. 

The situation you are describing can be done without miner control.  I've never used ccminer but in sgminer you can set multiple pools in failover states.  If one gets disconnected it moves on to the next available.  If both those are offline, it moves to the 3rd and so on.  In sgminer I think you can even set up pools to mine in a round robin type fashion.  That would enable you to mine quark at yaamp and get paid in ltc for a specified time and then it switches to mining quark at yaamp and getting paid in uno.  This is easily done with config files within sgminer, I just don't know if ccminer has these attributes, let alone if you can even use config files (vs command line).  If you're trying to use miner control to monitor your rig, there is other software out there better suited for that.

Will do, but have a couple questions. Not biggies but just wondering, the currency exchange is tracking BTC prices with a multiplier (I think)? Is there a way to get it to track the 'coin-being-mined' price instead. ie. LTC.

Next, arranging the different pools in the .conf doesn't seem to use any order as to which pool it starts mining. Is there a way to give each pool a priority? ie. I want it to start yaamp mining quark as my LTC coin first. How do I let the program know that. Putting that one first in the .conf doesn't mean it tries to start that one first. It seems to want to go to nicehash before any other. I'm sure it's coded that way but unless I delete all references to that pool (nicehash) from the .conf, that's where it seems to start.

As I stated...it's not a biggie BUT......it would be nice. I'm just glad I got it to do what I wanted. Now I haveta figure out how to attach a file to a post in here...lol. I'll figure that out and put up my .conf as an example. It actually wasn't difficult once I understood what MinerControl was doing. I've just been having a bad last couple of weeks. Senior moments!


edit; Oh...and is there a way to adjust the column width?

If miner control solved your problem maybe you can tell us how in case someone else comes along needing the information.

Yeah, I can. It's what I'm doing now but many of us get kicked off yaamp due to connection error time-out and wish to switch to a diff pool until we can do a reconnect. I guess I'm just too picky and don't like to sit here all day (or night, as it is now) and do restarts. Looking for a program I can tell what to do. Not one that tells me what I can't do. You did clear up that I can only get BTC from nice/westhash tho. Crap!

edit; nope a loop.bat won't work so no need to supply an example. I'm not the first with this issue. We have another whole thread for this. I was hoping MinerControl would take care of it...hmm..wait..it might still. Gotta try something. BRB


edit; THANK YOU< THANK YOU< THANK YOU...I did it! Cooking with gas now. Everyone...sorry it took me a bit to catch on. Now...on to another mess I've gotten myself into Ollie.

The link I gave you should contain everything you need.  They claim all you need to do is change the btc address to yours.  You have the same card they set it up for.  Download their version and open up MinerControl.conf and take a look around.  Compare it to the barebones conf to find out what the variables do. 

On the offchance you're not quite sure what miner control does, it's not a miner in and of itself.  You have to use it in conjunction with actual miners, in your case ccminer or cudaminer.  It just points miners to the most profitable pools using the inputs you give it.

I'm gonna try this again. It could be that I have been misunderstood. Basically...look...I'm not a Linux, unix, redhat, cgWin, putty, or none of that kinda guy. I'm just a guy trying to have a little enjoyment in his retirement with this hobby. No need to be short. I get that it's really simple to understand for some ppl, but, you must understand,  not so for others. I fit the later.

I DID go in and look at the sample file, I HAVE read this thread (30+pgs), as well as a number of others, until my eyes bugged OUT. I AM actually very intelligent (and have picked up a lot of good information)...but I'm having the toughest time picking up on coding, of any kind. I just completely screwed up a piece of equipment and I ain't happy, right now.    (deep breath).  may I please get a working (operative word) .conf file.

I really want to choke the f'ing life outa this computer (and some 'o the rude commen...never mind) right now.

Calm....breath..

edit; all the APRAM this and SPRAM that is greek to me. I don't get it. What do I put before APRAM and SPRAM, or does it come after, and does it need quotation marks and commas or colons or semi-colons, etc. I'm not kicking the can here folks. I REALLY don't know what any of that means or what I'm supposed to input in order to get the correct output. May as well be latin, french, spanish...whatever....I need plain, simple English. Enter my pool, username, password, mining program, how I want the program to run. How hard can that be?

Sooo, plz...you open that 'example'_whatever.'conf' file, close your eyes (tight), spin around until you get dizzy, now,.... quickly look at your screen. That's what I see. A MESS! Further..don't you dare tell me to view a linux board...I'll hunt you down!! (I AM kidding, of course,...or am I?).

No Zels....I am VERY appreciative of all the help I've been given. Ya don't need to be rude and no, I'm certainly not lazy! While I was working on trying to get MinerControl working, I was also trying to work on my S3+. I tanked that, and am now trying to recover. I think I might have bricked it. Money down the drain for a small-time miner hobbyist. Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Needed a break to dry my eyes.


edit; aww, dang...that link did me no good. Takes me to a version I've never seen. Sure Zels...send me a sample.conf that I can just customize to fit. That would be great as I am going to be very busy getting a antMiner back up before my wife cuts off my sac. Gotta order a break-out board now. Thanks, in advance,  for the .conf file. You may have saved my life.

edit 2!; my fingers are too fast (wish my brain was)....maybe I need a new hobby!!

1st post on this topic: there is 2 example and you didn't find one?
Or too lazy and just want someone to give a conf ready to go for your own setup ?

Maybe this will help you.  I don't use nvidia so....

Hi,

Ok..I've been trying to set this up for 2 days now & still can't get it. I have a GTX750Ti 2GB running ccminer (spMOD latest). I want to mine just quark and convert to a couple of different coin (not BTC). Can't seem to come up with a .conf that will let me do this. Frustrated!! and ready to just .cmd line the miner and not use this program at all. Can anyone send me a .conf sample for just quark mining?

Thanks for listening!

edit; there's no readme I can go to for an example. Reading this thread just got me more confused. Please help. I wanna use yaamp with nice/westhash as fail-over.

I really like the idea, good job!

I'm having one problem though. When I try to run sgminer from within your app I get:

No problem MysteryX I'm glad your problem is solved.

Btw, guys, I'm sorry I was out, life catched up to me. I'll be back on track in a week, I presume.

Thanks to help from the guys in the IRC I got my problem fixed, cheers guys 

could be wrong, but i believe you set the minprice to that amount.
