having some trouble getting started:
at first , the stick could not find DHCP, but now it has
When I go to the simplemining.net site, and login, it seems like it sees me
noname default - ON(4) 0 H/s 35℃ 30 %
on my rig, I get a few error messages, one of which seems rather ominous...
SAID invalid http response, wrong number of bytes recieved : 42
response; {:message" a valid address is required."}
any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Have you configured a Miner and Miner options in Rig Groups and assigned it to your rig yet?
last night , in chat, Gpunot asked me to list my config
I went to "rig groups" and under
Miner options it says:
-epool stratum+tcp://eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal $walletETH/$rigName -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -dpool
http://siamining.com:9980/miner/header?address=$walletSC&worker=simpleminer -dcoin sia -dcri 16 -mport 127.0.0.1:3333
which Gpunot explained meant I had not assigned an address to my rig
I went to "RigList" and then "Global options" and added my public address
0x449F3333C5046eaD162e9Aa5cEECc4Fc9879830a
since miner option also says "$rigName", do I have to assign that too? Or can I leave it as default?
$rigName will just "feed" the actual name of your rig to the pool statistics. If you leave the Rig Name as the default, you'll see "noname" in the pool stats. For example, if you were mining Metaverse on Sandpool, your Miner options would look something like this: -epool stratum+tcp://etp.sandpool.org:8009 -ewal METAVERSEWALLETRECEIVEADDRESS -eworker $rigName -epsw x -ftime 10 -allcoins 1
Then, when you wanted to check your stats, you'd go to etp.sandpool.org and enter your Wallet Address to look up your Worker ($rigName) to see what it's up to.
It really sounds like you need to start at the beginning and use the steps below.
1. Choose a coin you are going to mine.
2. Find a pool to join to mine that coin.
3. Determine what miner you can use to mine that coin (based on a number of factors, hardware and algorithm being the most significant).
4. Download a wallet or use a web wallet (or other wallet with a receiving address) to get a Receive Address to mine to.
5. In smOS, select the correct miner for your coin and hardware and set it up with the appropriate Miner options (usually retrieved from the mining pool's website).
For example:
1. Coin to mine: Metaverse (ETP)
2. Pool is: etp.sandpool.org
The pool's website says Miner options (parameters) should be: -epool stratum+tcp://etp.sandpool.org:8009 -ewal METAVERSEWALLETRECEIVEADDRESS -eworker $rigName -epsw x -ftime 10 -allcoins 1
3. Since ETP is an Ethash algo coin, you can use Claymore miner. The current version is 11.9.
4. Go to
https://www.myetpwallet.com/ and setup a web wallet. Get your ETP Receiving Address from there.
5. Set up smOS with all the info from the first 4 steps above.
