Hey guys,

I was a member here since 2011, but it seems my account got deleted during some forum migration.

Anyway, I have a quick question: I have an offer, where I could be managing a small Antminer S9 farm (with 20x ASIC's) in a different country. I would install Awesome Miner on a PC that is on the same network as the miners, and then remote connect to the PC there via TeamViewer or VNC.

My question is, would this be enough to maintain the miners? There would be a person that can power off/on the PSU's and check the ambient temperatures, but that would be all.

I've never worked with ASIC miners before, so I have no idea how often they need maintenance (and how often they break down)? I can go there a few times per year for cleaning the fans and stuff like that.

Cheers!

 That has to be the most inefficient way to communicate to a remote I have ever heard of.

 First off by a real router such as a Fortigate 90. Then set up a VPN in the router. With the VPN you can can remotely connect securely to any device on the other end.

 Networking 101.

im not sure what awesome miner is, but i can vouch for teamviewer. I had about a dozen mining devices (antminers mostly) in a remote hosting alongside a crappy laptop that had my teamviewer account running. I could easily TV in and then SSH/html access the miners locally. Needing to reboot/cylcle the powersupply or miners in person was pretty uncommon (most could run months at a time without any issue) and typically just the result of my pushing an overclock too far

Hasn't anyone on this forum managed a mining farm remotely?

Perhaps I can ask an easier question - would GPU mining be easier to do remotely than ASIC mining?

I hope someone replies?
