learn to use APIs


I will, could you explain just a bit more? Specifically how it relates to mining?

As Kluge stated, the pools typically help you track them.

With my 9 rig setup, which will be growing very soon, I use worker threads on coinotron's pool and login and check them frequently.

Additionally, I also use UVNC to make changes. I also took it a step further, as we know many times the machines are not responsive if GPUs are not working, and I have switched PDUs that will allow me to remotely power cycle each plug (BIOS set to auto power on - don't forget this one).


found some switched PDU's, very slick never knew such things existed. Any chance you can recommend a particular one? The site Im on has about 30 of them, no idea which one to get

Thanks a bunch, I was looking for anubis and all I got was egyptian stuff and some tech companies

checking that thread... Its MASSIVE (74 pages) but will read every post, thanks for the heads up, I think this is what Im after. Might have to ditch windows, might be for the best though.

I tried a pool (deepbit I think) that allowed you get get an alert when your miner became inactive, neat feature. Right now Im only on Slush, I like the vibe there so I will stick there for now.

I have a separate monitor in my office and like (would like) to obsessively watch the miners if I can. Getting emails etc is not exactly what I want.

I will be installing some miners at my cottage also because I get power for $0.02 a kw hour (Im serious, its called 'farm hydro') so I really wanna watch these miners  Grin

Again appreciate the info LOTS. Time to get reading  Grin

Checking pool website would probably be the easiest solution. Make sure each computer is assigned to a different worker on the pool website to keep tabs on them. Some pools will even send you an email alert when a worker stops sending hashes. I think some may even send SMS alerts.

If the computers are only mining, you alternately might want to consider something like BAMT @ https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bamt-version-05-easy-usb-based-mining-linux-with-farm-wide-management-tools-65915

All VNC software's going to have the same hash-stealing problem as Logmein, so those are probably your best bets.

I now have 2 windows 7 PC's up and actively mining in my basement.

I want to be able to watch them from the PC in my office, instead of running downstairs to see if they are up.

They keep crashing and I would like to know when that happens.

I have tried logmein but I think that uses up a lot of hashing power.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
