is there a way to send a command to phoenix/Autominer to change the aggression? like via RPC for example? or will i need to use ./stopmining, edit the lib file, and then ./startmining, whenever i want to watch a video, then repeat when i am finished watching a video?

also, is there a way to switch back to my main pool once Autominer has started using the seondary pool? or do i again just have to restart Autominer?

or maybe a way for Autominer to periodically check the main pool and automatically switch back to it once it determines it's reachable again? sorry i'm not a coder at all but these might be good features to implement....

thanks

You can edit the lib file, then do stopmining then startmining to change aggression. Active phoenix sessions won't take a command to change aggression. I suggest making two copies of the libfile, say:

cards.lib.7 - Aggression 7
cards.lib.11 - Aggression 11

Then just do:

cp cards.lib.7 cards.lib && ./stopmining.sh && DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh

With re: changing back to your main pool, all of the pools seem to have different ways to tell that they're online. This is something planned for the long term future of autominer (probably via a python script) but isn't likely to come anytime soon. Right now it'd just be ./stopmining.sh && DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh
