Yes it is best miner created by bitcoin.org. I think it will be more easy to in future.
Bitcoin.org has nothing to do with the software from MicroBt...
As for the cgminier API calls that were written by Kano as part of cgminer, ja, they can be accessed via ssh or browser by simple scripts.

Isn't this more of a cgminer (software) feature rather than the miner (hardware)? Its nice they provide their own tool, but so could anyone else who could do api rpc ssh commands.

Its not like its a special MicroBT feature (Microbt is the actual manufacturer name, whatsminer is a mere brand akin to antminer).

Or did they also release a tool confusingly called whatsminer too? So not only we have resellers using the brand but tools too?

The M in the model should give you a reminder that you are using MicroBT gear, that happens to be branded whatsminer just like Bitmain brands theirs antminer for whatever reason, while antminer is also a pool, because confusing must be good for profit, or some such...

Yes they've had a tool out for ages called WhatsminerTool, its up to version 3.4.6 now

I guess MicroBT feel they can call it Whatsminer because thats the name they call their hardware devices, just like Bitmain call their hardware devices Antminer.

Yes both Innosilicon and Bitmain have similar tools for their devices. Its cgminer API calls but I think they also do web calls to the device as well.

team viewer is free

I run two old hp pcs 24/7/365

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-ELITE-DESK-800-G1-MINI-F4L14UT-i5-Proc-8GB-Memory-NO-DRIVE-Wireless-PS/303456773762?

just add a 128 gb ssd
one is on verizon router
one is on optimum router

two full operate networks separate its

pretend router address is 192.168.0.1 on each one

I have all new gear on the optimum router

once it works for 1 month with zero virus I move to verizon router.

it is as if they are in two different homes and are full isolated from each other.  only costs 600 usd a year to do this.

back to whatsminer 5.0.2   I open the verizon link from my home in Howell to it in clifton via teamviewer i open what's miner 5.0.2 and can do up to 200( plus) what's miners I check them off and do low high or normal speed .  If I want to do only 5 of 200 on highest speed I check them go to speed control on remote and set those five instantly.  from 60 miles or 100 klicks away.

I could do this from any pc anywhere in the world.

if I just did teamviewer I could do all my gear but 1 at a time.  not all of them.

I am very likely gong to move to whatsminer's gear.  I am in NJ about 250 miles from NC I got a good repair guy there. that has a contract to do whatsminers gear.

be constructive or S.T.F.U
Wait until you see the firmware in the works with these. These puppies got some power.

I want to be the first one to hear the good news "exclusively".  Grin

Phill, would you explain what do you mean by "remote" does the whatsminer 5.0.2 tool give you the ability to access your gears outside of the local network, or is just just a local monitoring tool?

I am a newbie when it comes to non-bitmain mining gears, sadly for the past couple years I have been buying like 99% Bitmain gears, and I have decided to put an end to this, the plan is to slowly accumulate M21s while getting rid of all (or most) Bitmain gears, if we could get a better power/hashrate options on those gears - that will be a game-changer.

Yup been using it for a while, also use the InnoMonitor_64 for the inno's (doh) and I seem to get on best with BTCTools for the bitmain kit (made by BTC.com)

I only have 5 whatsminers
