1 the . pimp is how that rigg will be called there if you have more then 1 rigg that would make it easy for you to see what rigg does what
you are able to change that to what you like (this is called your worker name)he
i) Talking specifically about 'miningrigrentals.com' , you have a number for your created rig , such as 32999 and you have got a user name to login the site lets say,' btc_ist' . So my worker name is a number and use name is 'btc_ist' for this example. What I want to understand is I will replace 3000.pimp with 32990.btc_ist .Is that tue?
2 the seccond pool is a backup pool if pool 1 would go down it would switch to that pool in your case switch out the 2 pool urls so that the eu and the us are switched ( then you will mine on the eu server of that pool )
ii)I know that the second pool is a backup pool incase of pool connection problems.What I want to learn is , 'are there any alternative pools other than miningrigrentals.com?'.
3 when you still have problems with setting up a account on miningrigrentals or have any other question please after christmass join our chat and then there is always someone who will help you .
iii)The channel is always active and there is always a mod to answer, however the questions and answers are always same.In the forums we can re read and analyze the problems experienced before.They are like the case studies and we do not waste our and your time.
I can not talk in the name of other users but I personally prefer late answering forum to a live help.You are doing a good job with Pimp.I am hearing the softwares name from my surrounding circle.
Hello PiMP. Thank you for your questions. Your feedback about the value of the forum posts is very well received. I will do my best to post more helpful information here for you pimps!!! Thanks and keep those suggestions coming!!
Also, I have been updating and incorporating the new information into the users guide, keep checking it for updates too!!
So.. With miningrigrentals.com, it is a special type of service that has partnered with PiMP to provide security and flexibility for PiMP customers. It is a service that allows you to rent out your rigs' hashrate for a profit. To use miningrigrentals yourself, you can both rent your rig and rent other people's rigs to get yourself more hashrates to jump in on a very profitable coin or whatever your reason might be!
If you can, please use our referral link (which we prefer as it makes us a tiny amount of revenue!)
https://www.miningrigrentals.com/register?ref=733 and create your own account.
Then, you can create a rig, per algorithm type, put your pools and information in, and you will get your own pool/worker information to connect with.
Once you have your worker info from MRR, you would put that into your miner conf on PiMP using the edit command.
However, if you do not want to use miningrigrentals, you would use a different pool.
We try to put more pools in as examples.... moneropool, flypool, and ethermine.org are all found in the PiMP default confs. Check out the PiMP users guide on
https://getpimp.org/guide2, hope this helps.
I also have some recommendations for the next version of the software.
First of all, sometimes we experience problems launching the PIMP.It is because of late response of VBN.Would you increase the reponding time from 10ms to 1s?
Secondly, many people whom I have chatted with about PIMP are experienced BTC miners however not much experience with altcoins. We would be happy if you could add a section to knowledgebase or a small engine to the site about what to mine with what binaries.To be more clear, if I want to mine ETH, I would like to see my alternatives.
The program should ask me which altcoin I am willing to mine? ---->I would select among the options.
The program should ask me if I would use a GPU or a CPU? ----> I would select GPU
The pogram may warn me about expected daily income (This is an option but not necessary).
The program lists my options. I select one of them.And it mines....
What about user name, wallet? These must be edited at the beginning.There must be pools and we must sign to these pools and enter this info, and our wallet info to Pimp.By and large it can be more user friendly.
We did hear that VPNs are having trouble, we have listed this in Limitations of Software. You have to provide PiMP a good network route to the servers. Both ours and the pools. That can only be provided by you, the customer. If you know of any setting in particular that we can change to accommodate pimps like you, please direct me so that we can take a look!
Well, we've done a lot so far to make things easier. Right now we have the newpimp command that shows how to get started, we have pimp --chworker now that can instantly change an address in. Many of these tools were requested by our professional farmers and so we made them externally available via ssh.
We do have the tracker full of great ideas like this, including the "PiMP setup wizard" which has long been a dream of ours. This will allow people to get onboarded easier. Yes, we are very excited to bring mining to new miners so crypto can be more accessible. Thank you for helping us do that with all of this great information!!!
Thanks again and happy new year PiMP ! Lets Stack loot from head to boot in 2017 with PiMPed out rigs!
