Re: [ANN] AIDEN | First Crypto to use Scrypt-OG (Optimized for GPU) [altaccept.com]

Since the PiMP linux distro (http://getpimp.org/) comes with sgminer, it's pretty easy to get it working with Aiden. You have to create a new cgminer config file and modify the poolmanager config file.
The only issue I've had is that hardware monitoring (GPU temp and fan speed) doesn't always work for me. I find that if I boot with the scrypt profile and switch to Aiden it works but if I start with Aiden it does not.

Create a new file called /opt/ifmi/cgminer.aiden.conf with these contents. You can increase your intensity settings to whatever you want. These options should be a good starting point for a R9 280X.

It would be pretty easy to automate these changes with a shell script. Eventually I'd like to have a modded version of PiMP or a comparable distro available for download that was preconfigured to mine Aiden.

Code:
-----/opt/ifmi/cgminer.aiden.conf-----

                "user" : "workername",
                "pass" : "workerpass"
        }
]

Modify the existing /opt/ifmi/poolmanager.conf file. This will add a dropdown from the web management console for an Aiden profile. Once you select the Aiden profile click restart.
