I do not mean to be rude but there are open source auditable solutions to do anything you need to do on your farm. Why trust this?

Finally got my first Canaan miners. Porting AntGuardian to Canaan will only take a few lines of code.

Update comming soon. 

Did you find a bug?

Hi Mark,
Just connect to the VPN in which your miners are connected, and run AntGuardian and it will work.
No need to do anything additional.

Please do 

Help is very welcome in the areas of:
-Graphic design
-Python developers
-Miners
-Anyone who has benefited from monitoring your miners with AntGuardian, even if you have no skills you can contact me if you wish to help.

I'm always happy to meet others that think the same way!
Thank you for your feedback

I know there are many Antminer monitors out there, but one could argue none as simple and easy to audit as this one.

I Would love to bring support to other miner brands as they develop. Any developers would be appreciated

If anyone has an old unprofitable miner (not bitmain) that they can donate and send it to me to Miami, I could develop support for that brand. You can send me a PM or post it here and I will give you my address

Please anyone who posts questions or troubleshooting requests send me the screenshot of the program output (what it prints on the command line)



If you have multiple versions of Python, most of the time it has to do with that, you might have the requests package, or every package installed on another version of Python that the one you are running.
Try uninstalling Python 3 and using Python 2.

Can you send me the logs or screenshots?

Hello eeva1990,
No need to pay me, you can donate if you wish but I will help you as a user regardless of your donation or not.

Can you send me some Logs? or screenshots?
How often does it restart the miner? It will certainly restart the miner if it detects "accepted shares" are not increasing (and there is an internet connection).

You can P.M. me or use this thread.

Just send me screenshots of the program functioning (command line).

A lot of traffic to GitHub is coming from here so some of you guys must be out here. Im talking about AntGuardian users.

I know it is a simple tool for a very niche sector of people but It has found its way to gain some popularity as I can see from the Github traffic statistics and from generous donations recieved over the past few months. There are other free alternatives but in my opinion none is is as "bare bones" as this one. You can literally analyze the whole python code in an afternoon, which is nice if you are paranoid like me.

Another reason I think it has gained popularity is because you just set it and forget it. Although it would be very very nice if we could release some play store or SNAP store packages or windows executables for ease of use but I think that might just miss the whole point to begin with... About being free and transparent and all... Let me know what you think about this

I would appreciate some feedback from users since I have not been mining for a few months now. Specially I would like some feedback about how it works with the new miners. But any feedback good or bad is appreciated. Let me know what miners are you using it for, adn for how long (if you feel comfortable with it).

Personally I just had 3 S9s, and It just worked Flawlessly. I have heard from some users having 12 and 13 miners working perfectly 24/7. I would like to hear more feedback about how it works with 20+ miners.
Happy mining!

Update: Bug fix: AntGuardian.py used to throttle while internet() returned false. A delay fixed it on the new version 0.1.3

Please update or your CPU might throttle when you loose internet connection.

Happy mining!
 

COOL !!!
Should have read this before I developed my script!
However I think this can´t restart the system OS like the HTTP GUI approach can, can it?
IDK if that is usefull at all
Thank You!!!

OK, maybe you can try version 0.1.1 then,, it is a fairly simple script. The only difference with the current version is you have to enter the list of IPs for your miners (not very convenient when using DHCP).

https://github.com/rsolano60/AntGuardian/blob/master/Old%20Versions/AntGuardian0.1.1.py

Hope this works for you.

We can make it work with any API pretty easily. I do not have miners to test tho.
Earlier versions of antGuardian use BMMiner API through SSH but since ssh was closed we started just using the web interface.

I would give it a try for CGMiner API but I currently do not have any miner to test...
Im looking forward to anyone joining development. You can even create a pull request on github and start de conversation going.
Anyway thanks for your reply!!
