Hy there,
i am building a small farm with round about 15pcs Antminer S7 in EU and i do need a nice piece of Software to control these, and direct them to the pools i need.
I have read the documentaton, but obviously i do not get the information i need from it (or i am just blind
)
- When i run this on an Ubuntu Server, on which port do the miners need to connect?
- Which credentials do the miners need? (Just the IP:PORT without any Worker, Walletaddress, password?)
- Why is minera installing mining software, when it (for my understanding) "just" needs to redirect the miners to a pool?
- Can i specify multiple pools for multiple miners <-> Grouping?
- Can i specify time tables for each pool to be mined?
- Are there live data of exchanges?
- Can Minera listen on a URL to get contacted remotely?
Thanks in advance for your answers!!!
Kind regards,
elrippo
Hello, first of all a clarification: Minera can only monitor and/or manage pools on-the-fly for networked miners (like S7), this means you need to previously configure them each one by using their own web interfaces/ssh.
- When i run this on an Ubuntu Server, on which port do the miners need to connect?
All your miners S7 MUST have the
api-allow,
api-listen (and if you want to change the default one
api-port) option configured to allow Minera to get their data from API Please check this
https://github.com/michelem09/minera/wiki/Network-mining-devices and the Cgminer README on how to allow API connection from other hosts.
When you have setup your miners, from Minera you can insert IP and PORT (in the settings page) where your miner is (usually 4028 or what you set in api-port).
- Which credentials do the miners need? (Just the IP:PORT without any Worker, Walletaddress, password?)
You don't need any credential to access the API, you need to setup default pools data from the miner web inetrface (if you want to have one automatically when it restarts) or you can set the pools data by Minera when your miner is up&running (go to dashboard and look for the pools table of your miner)
- Why is minera installing mining software, when it (for my understanding) "just" needs to redirect the miners to a pool?
Because Minera uses also a local miner software if you plug some USB miner to it (no network miners)
- Can i specify multiple pools for multiple miners <-> Grouping?
No you have to set up one by one for each network miner
- Can i specify time tables for each pool to be mined?
No there isn't a feature such this
- Are there live data of exchanges?
There is a dropdown menu in the top showing almost real time Bitcoin rates against USD/EUR
- Can Minera listen on a URL to get contacted remotely?
Yes of course, but you need to setup your router/NAT it's not a Minera task, you need NAT between your public IP address and a selected port (you can use 8080 for example) and the Minera IP:80, so going to
http://yourpublic:8080 you are forwarded to your Minera LAN IP.
