I will try to make this as simple as it gets as a revised version of guide (Method B) this is if you have a static ip and are using a config file (BAMT)
Forward your port, standard in BAMT is 4028. So you can do that for now, I suggest changing it however for security reasons.
- Go to http://checkmyports.com/ on your miner and see if it is open. If it is then you are good. Also, if you do not know your external IP this is where you can obtain it easily as you will need it for LeaseRig.
Configure cgminer, bfgminer,...(since many miners share same API, just follow this regardless of which miner you use)
You have to enable API listening on your cgminer. Following config options have to be added in cgminer config
Then go to your LeaseRig admin page, configuration, then put your externalIP:port into "Mining rig address (including port)*:" So it should look something like this "Mining rig address (including port)*: 50.122.333.222:4028"
Update, enable your rig. And you should be good to go.

FYI, for those using BAMT, the save call in the api will create a new cgminer.conf under /.cgminer/cgminer.conf .
This is of course useless since BAMT starts cgminer pointed to /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf
A workaround is to schedule a job to check for updates to /.cgminer/cgminer.conf and overwrite /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf . This will restore your customers pools in the event that you need to reboot/power outage/etc. Unfortunately the cgminer.conf created is a bit over-complicated, and duplicates values for each of your GPUs, even if the values are the same for all of them... regardless it does work, and is the best for the customer.
Login to your BAMT box using ssh and perform the following:
sudo crontab -e
Add the following to the bottom of the crontab (This will check for updates every 5 minutes and only overwrite when changes are made)
Code:
Exit (and save)
Also, please keep in mind that SMOS linux has a script that will periodically mine for the developers, thus robbing your customers of time. Use BAMT or SMOS bee edition, or manually remove the offending code.
