Is there a way to have the miner not hash during certain times of the day?
At the simplest idea of mine, was to hook up one of those AC timers that kills the power during certain times and then restores it at others.
Thats a very noble way and most effective.At the simplest idea of mine, was to hook up one of those AC timers that kills the power during certain times and then restores it at others.
You could also write a script that kills cgminer (and cgminer monitor) during your chosen downtime but ensure it is started during your chosen uptime. (don't ask me how to do it 'cause I do not know AND you've already got a good solution!)
Great idea! Could go even farther and use different frequencies at different times. It's colder at night would be nice to have night freq, and day freq.
That was step two haha, once summer hits, to have variable frequencies.
So far I've only used the web interface, I assume I can SSH with the same root/root login on port 22 as well, then run various cgminer commands as needed?
Is there a software that could neatly schedule this and is scalable? I was thinking for one or two I could just have them as local scripts on the machines, but would be more fun to have them all talk to a central computer or site that would report their temps, hash speed, frequency, on/off status etc, and allow global changes.
Also I haven't upgraded the firmware on both of my S5's and so far haven't had any issues with them not hashing properly. Once I experience an issue, will probably try out updating the firmware
