Topic: [DEV] IRC controlled mining rigs (Read 1100 times)
hi i need sum help an iv been told this is the place to come to so here gos i have got 2 mining rigs both rigs have 3 asus r9 280x cards runing on windows 7 64bit i use cgminer on both. what i want to do is use both r rigs together when i solo mine insted of seting them to mine the same coin independently iv seen it done i just don no how to do it any help would be grate thanks. ps i no pool mining is better but i only solo mine the coin with low difficulty
no interest?
Sounds neat! Is it possible to connect to my own IRC server? Can you change pools on the fly?
You can connect to any IRC server you want. The setup gui will guide you trough the initial config file settings and after that you can edit the missioncontrol.ini file to change the settings.
Currently you can not change the pools trough irc, but you can upload the cgminer.conf files to a webserver of your choice and let each worker download it's dedicated .conf file. I'll implement commands to edit the important cgminer.conf settings trough irc in a later release. I'll write a roadmap once the beta client is released.

I wanted a easy way to manage all my mining rigs in different locations at once without the need for remote desktop connection.
At first i used Anubis and some bash scripts i wrote myself but it was missing a lot of features i wanted to have and maintaining that setup was very time consuming. Then i switched to Windows 8.1, CGWatcher and Teamviewer but it was also very time consuming to login to every mining rig just to update the cgminer config files and check the temperatures. I wanted more automatisation and centralization.
So i began developing my own solution based on Windows 8.1 (custom image), sgminer 4.0, IRC Bot & teamviewer as backup.
I controll all my mining rigs trought IRC. They all connect to a specific chatroom and only listen to my commands.
Right now i'm in the process to rewrite the IRC Bot and i thought why not make it available to the public.
I've already designed a GUI for the inital setup (IRC Server, Channel, Nickname, Workername etc...) and a readable config file.
The bots are able to display their hashrate, gpu temps, update the cgminer.conf file from a webserver of your choice and many other things.
As an example i'll explain what the updatecgminer command currently does:
1. stop the running cgminer (sgminer) and CGWatcher.
2. delete the installed cgminer and CGWatcher
3. download the latest cgminer.zip (i'll provide the latest versions of both with the client) containing SGminer and CGWatcher from a Webserver configured in the .ini file.
4. unzip cgminer and CGWatcher and create a Startup entry for CGWatcher
5. download the latest cgminer.conf for this worker from the webserver you configured.
6. start CGWatcher
7. check if cgminer and CGWatcher are running and report back to the IRC Channel / Owner nick
With this command i can update sgminer in my zipfile to the latest version, upload it to my webserver and all my rigs will update to this version with just one command.
Another example is the current output of the help command (not rewriten yet, very much alpha):
As you can see there is also support for cpu mining but this will not make it into the first public beta versions.
I plan to do this for donations only and i will not release the sourcecode at this time.
Is there any demand for a system like this? If so, I'm looking for some beta testers trough the next days until the release of a public beta.
