News about the new Minera projectHello guys, we are in the middle of the summer and the new Minera is progressing very well, there is still some missing features I really want to add before the first public release, so it's not time to celebrate yet but the things are moving and the direction is right
These are some of the features implemented and how it will work:
- There will be 3 main resource with relative repository: System, Miner and Pool. A system is any Linux system (probably Windows too in future) you want to use to control your mining devices. A miner is a local (USB) or network miner device. A pool, you know what is a pool
- You will be able to have infinite systems/miners/pools saved on your account (in beta test)
- There will be a single global and public URL with secure authentication to access your resources, control, manage and monitor them
- There will be a unique pools repository where you can save your favorite pools to add them to your miners easily without retyping them every time.
- There will be a tiny client software to be installed in each system you want to use to monitor and control your mining devices. This client will be "close source" to increase security, so you will download a binary file. When you start your client it will connect to the central Minera server and it will keep everything synchronised.
In your new Minera dashboard you will find a lot of info about your systems and miners:
- you will be able to move your miners (virtually) from a system to another one
- any miner will throw errors in a fancy way to notify you instantly for problems
- you will be able to view the history logs and notifications
- you will be able to choose to be notified by email too for specific events
- there will be many events like system offline, system online, miner unreachable, miner errors, pool last share, etc...
- you will be able to completely manage pools on fly without restart the miners
- you will be able to manage some miner configuration on fly like the frequency
- you will be able to schedule specific tasks like frequency and pool switching
- you haven't anymore to refresh the page or the data to get the fresh info from your miners, everything will be shown in REAL-TIME with different delays for different user levels (in beta the default delay will be 3 seconds, this means the data will be automatically refreshed every 3 seconds)
- there will be charts completely drawn in real-time for online resources, you will see the charts moving and there will be also charts for historic data
- there will be different views for each resource, Systems list, Miners list, System view and Miner view, each view has its own specific data displayed to have generic and detailed views of your systems/miners
This is almost everything I developed or I'm going to do.
Initially you will be able to add only Network devices and particularly Antminers.
The beta program will start for Antminers only (or any similar network device, it must run cgminer).
After the initial beta release I will start working on USB/local devices.
Beta program will be free for everyone, but probably with some ads without the ability to remove them. After the beta you will be able to buy a premium service without ads. I don't know how many premium plans will be available with what prices, etc... This will be announced later.
I think you will love it and I hope to release something asap but not before a couple of months, so be patience you will be prize
I'll update you on this, in the meanwhile have a great summer!
