Does anyone have an effective way at auto launching 4 miners at start up. In a way that I can monitor them remotely.
I've been able to check for pool being up or down and launch miners at the up pool, but I didn't find a good way of monitoring them apart from dumping to a text file eg ./pocbm flagss usrname pass blahblah > blah.txt This is ugly hacky though.
For the moment I'm just waiting on smartcoin to be completed:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16548.40This should do everything you want. Donate to the dude if you'd like to see it sooner.
Also, I saw someone mention how to essentially load balance between two pools, so that if a miner goes idle it will distribute the resources to the lower priority pool. I have been searching and searching trying to find the info again, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or where that post is located?
set up two or three miners for each gpu each set to go to a different pool. Set lower priority pools to higher --frames (or less AGGRESSION)
For example:
screen1:
./poclbm blah eu.eligius -f10
screen2:
./poclbm blah ozco.in -f20
screen3:
./poclbm blah deepbit.net -f30
This means that when eligius goes down, hashrate will go to ozco.in, and if they're both down, then hashes go to deepbit. If you want to have even amounts of hashrate going to different pools, then make the -f the same. If I use say -f10, f11, f12 on 3 different pools I get 75% going to first pool, 24% going to second pool and 1% going to third pool - unless one of them goes down. Just play with the -f flag and multiple miner instances for each gpu.
Can remember where original post is either. BTW, smartcoin will also help with this.
