4. To your knowledge, do you know that if AM supports profit switching for the BlackMiner Mini(+) series? like if I get a few of them and if I can use the custom defined pool groups on them as I do with Managed Profit Miner GPU rigs? (I know the website states AM do support the F1 but was unsure about the other models).
5. If 4 is doable, another non-essential question would be if there are any method to add them (obviously in reasonable numbers) to AM if I was to host them behind a NAT, currently using NeoRouter for the VPN for remote miners, not sure what's the most efficient and uncomplicated way to add these standalone FPGA/ASIC in similar fashion.
Profit Switching of BlackMiner isn't supported today, but these devices can be monitored by Awesome Miner. I've promised another user (@STSMiner) to look into the profit switching for these miners.
It's actually more the BlackMiner that doesn't support the standard pool prioritize commands and this is what the External Profit Switcher requires from an ASIC/FPGA in order to work. Awesome Miner would have to use SSH to reconfigure the pools and algorithms of this miner in order to do profit switching.
The typical way to add FPGA/ASIC miners is to use the Network Scan feature (via New Miner button in the toolbar) and scan for Cgminer using an IP address range. With the VPN connection, I assume it's possible for Awesome Miner to access these miners with a unique IP address for each miner?
Hi Patrike,
Thanks for confirming that you are still looking at this with the Blackminers F1 devices, would be great if this can be done.
@moppidoo,
I've passed on all the info for the API calls and config structure for the F1 miners to Patrike, hopefully we will see something that can be beta tested in the new year.
Patrike has done a lot with Awesome Miner since version 1, and I must congratulate him on a job well done for all the hard work and time that he has put into it's continued development with suggestions / idea's that have been put forward to him from the vast user base that it has.
Most of the time Patrike has come through with 99% of requests to improve this or add this feature, it's nice to see a developer of a program take his customer base idea's and feature requests and add them.
So, people, please be be patient with Patrike, he's there to help us the best way he can etc ...
Patrike,
Once again, thank you for your continued development of this program.
STSMiner.
