I wrote that document you quoted and the code related to it.
It is up to the driver developer to include ascset commands, since each device driver has it's own unique hardware related to that.
If BM don't include options to change what you want in the API in their driver, that they added to cgminer, then it's not available at the moment.
You'd have to request them, or the only legal firmware release: bOS, to add it to their release.
HiveOS, and every other release for BM hardware in this part of the forum, violates the cgminer license.
That violation includes the firmware released with awesomeminer.
While people like Phil and tazers only care about money and gambling, and don't give a damn about the cgminer license, please avoid joining that crowd of criminals using infringing firmware.
Also note the obvious: the price of BTC changes every day every hour.
You don't know in advance, what price you will get for all the BTC you generated for the days or weeks up to when you sell it.
Pretending that calculations based on the current hourly price and difficulty will directly affect your profit/loss, shows a complete misunderstanding of that.
Hello Kano,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The things you've said are very interesting and I will definitely keep them in mind going forward.
As brainsOS is the only decent open source solution I have found thus far there is a strong incentive for me to use it. Sadly the latest releases of braiins don't implement cgminer API as the old Cobalt releases did.
Anyway as for now I feel comfortable continuing to write my own code to modify the configuration file to change the desired properties myself. So far its working pretty well.
What you said about noting the obvious. Of course you are absolutely right that there is a large degree of uncertainty involved. Depending on the scale of the mining operations it may at least be possible to minimize to timeframe between mining and selling. The results and profitability predictions will not be completely accurate, but I hope to make an educated guess about whether or not it could be profitable to mine given certain parameters.
As for now the entire thing is more of a research project and in case of success I am considering to deploy it at a larger scale.
