Topic: Innosilicon releases A9 Zmaster 50ksol/s Equihash miner at 620W - page 21. (Read 45641 times)

Oh I just meant I didn't have a wallet for Komodo, Hush, BCI, so I set the payout on Supernova very high since I haven't had the time to get the wallet set up, that's all. I get those set up tomorrow and set the payouts to a reasonable rate. Just rushing things tonight learning as much as I can about AM.
Thanks, good advice about the market.

What do you mean high? I would pay out a reasonable amount where (if) any fee taken is negligible. You want altcoin to capitalize on profits as soon as there are some. Right now is hold or push to BTC with market down.

I started by following this guide to the letter:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-setup-profit-switching-in-awesome-miner-for-z9a9-miners-4547429

Then I went here and learned how to add more than just three pools.
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help.aspx

So now I got all the Equihash pools switching on profit.
I set the payout high because I don't have wallets for a couple of these coins

So far I'm blown away. I also set up nicehash/equihash as one of the pools and it's switching to them at times.

I'm very new to mining as I'm sure most of you can tell but so far AM is the best thing I've come across, just incredible.

Thanks everyone for answering my questions. Appreciate it!

Hi "I set up profit switching for AM"  can you give steps please

Thanks sweeperAA and Xpulse, I got it working. I set up profit switching for AM and it has switched once already. Amazing software!

A question for anyone using AM.

The hash rates reported by AM are way way off. Is this because I still have the original A9 firmware? Not a big deal since my hash rate is fine at the pools but if updating the A9's firmware would help AM's reporting I'll do it.

Loving AM!

Thanks

Yes, this is what I had to do. I wasn't able to get xpulse's method to work (even though it should have).

Another way is update in cgminer.conf in /config/ folder, following line:
"api-allow": "W:10.0.0.0/24,W:127.0.0.1",
where: W:10.0.0.0/24 <- should be your local network.

Thank you!

To be 100% certain before I do it, here are the steps??

login via putty

remount file system to read write:
"mount / -o rw,remount"

edit cgminer.service with vim
change this:
"ExecStart=/bin/cgminer -c /etc/cgminer.conf --api-listen --api-network --syslog --text only"

to this:

"ExecStart=/bin/cgminer -c /etc/cgminer.conf --api-listen --api-network --api-allow W:0/0 --syslog --text only"

Save/exit/reboot

Then AM will have privileged access?

Thanks in advance!

Do you find that when you use Nice Hash it is smooth?

No interruptions?

I have not been able to do this.

Will you share your wisdom with us please?

I'm about $3.40 a hour on nicehash. The thing for me is it's very consistent with payouts while as of the last few days WhatToMine shows the coins moving up/down in profit very quickly, so without switching coins I don't see how I can beat nicehash. I hope I can because I'd rather be mining coin! I know I can just buy them but it's not nearly as much fun... Anyone care to give easy instructions to enable the A9 to be controlled by AM? I found this post but can't imagine it could be this easy?

I got putty and know how to ssh in, use vim, etc.. Just got no clue at that point.

How much per hour on Nice Hash?

As we speak, I am doing $3.05 per hour on NanoPool. I guess I will stay there.

I was really hoping for Nice Hash since I fucking love getting paid in BTC. It's a novelty. Yeah, yeah...just sell you ZEC for BTC, I know, I know. But nothing beats being paid in cold, hard, decentralized BT fackin C...

I PM'd you back. Both my agents are chicks. Sally (the first one) is good.

Hi guys...

MY MPH test concluded and it was less than I hopped for. After 24 hours I averaged $2.81 a hour. Nicehash beats this by about 60 cents per hour for me. Also just mining ZEC on Flypool beat this considerably as well. I'm now back on nicehash deciding what to try next. I like the idea of switching for profit so I bought AM but don't have a clue how to use it yet, or unlock the A9 to give AM privileged access. I did ssh into my A9 and change the fan speeds so hopefully I can figure this out before long.

24 hour MPH test:
2.347406 ZEN - $57.97
0.66755112 ZCL  - $9.69

Total $67.66
$2.81 a hour:(

I can't recommend MPH profit switching for the A9 over other options. Mining one coin directly might be fine, I have not tried that on MPH. Profit switching using GPU's or other Asics might be fine, I did not try that. Not bashing MPH but for the A9 there are better options than the Equihash profit switching.

Observing the switching on MPH it seemed to switch too late. Once one coin over took the other MPH would stay on the less profitable coin for a while, sometimes a long while. I guess until the block was found. Many times by the time it switched to the other coin it was on the way down. That's just my observations and could be incorrect.

Hempkat I also PM'd you about the Alibaba guy.

Thanks

NOT SURE ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE ACCORDING MY EXPERIENCE NICEHASH IS HIGHER RETURN IN BTC. i COMPARED 2 DAYS MINING. IN EUROPEAN SERVERS AT LEAST.

Yea service is something to be desired in the asic world especially.

I have been using NanoPool.

Happy to help.

If you want this, I can get you the information you need tomorrow.

I am interested however in other pools like Mining Pool Hub.

Sent you a PM.

Hi,
what mining pool to use with a9 Zmaster, can someone please help me out setting it up
I'm new, please forgive me if it seems silly.

That did the trick!
thanks a lot, it is working now
