I still can't figure out how to even get into the miner to change the code. Once I ssh into the miner, how do I download the config files to edit them? Jesus I'm a newb.
You don't download the file locally. You use vi (visual editor) to edit it remotely.
I will advice people to do some research, instead of following instructions blindly.
It is so much better to know what exactly you are doing and it is not very difficult to understand it either.
Just use Google.
