ethos-auto-miner

Automatically switch miner to the most profitable algorithm for Ethos.

Setup

Clone the repository to your ethos home directory /home/ethos.

$ git clone https://github.com/ajpsp5/ethos-auto-miner

Navigate into the /home/ethos/ethos-auto-miner directory and run the installer

$ cd /home/ethos/ethos-auto-miner && php install.php

The installer will clear any remote or local config files so make sure you save a copy of your configs.

After the install script finishes, set the cronjob. Run command:

$ crontab -e

Cron Schedule:

*/50 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/ethos/ethos-auto-miner/ethos-auto-miner.php > /home/ethos/ethos-auto-miner/output.log 2>&1

It is possible that ethos may throw the common error gpu clocks too low or gpu clock problem. If this happen, perform a hard reboot of your rig.

Default Configs and Settings

There are two default settings added for either AMD or Nivida rigs. If you have an AMD rig, you simple start with the AMD defaults

$ mv /home/ethos/ethos-auto-miner/_amd_algo-miners.json algo-miners.json && mv /home/ethos/ethos-auto-miner/_amd_config.json conf.json

Config Usage

This is where you will set your wallet address and your rig name from ethos. Be sure to set your what-to-mine json address.

To generate the correct what-to-mine address, select GPU types, click calculate, then add .json to the url. Here's an example of a rig with 6 RX580 GPUs:

Make sure you update the notification section email to the email that needs to be notified when your rig is down or meets an threshold. IMPORTANT rigname must match your rig's information.

Algorithm Settings

This where you can overclock settings based on the Algorithm type.

File Example: /home/ethos/ethos-auto-miner/algo-miners.json

{
    "cryptonightv7" : {
        "miner"         : "claymore-xmr",
        "flags"         : "-pow7 1",
        "attributes"    : {

        }
    },
    "cryptonight" : {
        "miner"         : "claymore-xmr",
        "flags"         : "-pow7 1"
    },
    "ethash"        : {
        "miner"         : "claymore",
        "flags"         : "--cl-global-work 8192 --farm-recheck 200",
        "attributes"    : { // Attributes can use any rig specific Ethos Config setting
            "cor"   : "2000 2000 1200 1200 1200 1200",
            "mem"   : "2200 2250 2250 2000 2250 2000",
            "pwr"   : "5 5 5 5 5 5"
        }
    },
    "equihash"      : {
        "miner" : "ewbf-zcash",
        "flags" : ""
    },
    "lyra2rev2"     : {
        "miner" : "ccminer",
        "flags" : "-a lyra2v2"
    },
    "neoscrypt"     : {
        "miner" : "ccminer",
        "flags" : "-a neoscrypt"
    }
}

Notifications

You can also recieve notifications based on thresholds set in your config file. Simple add the notifications section to your config and set your min and max thresholds.

{
    "notifications" : {
        "email"         : "email@test.com", // You can set multiple emails here by using comma separators
        "thresholds"    : {
            "core" : {
                "min" : "1000" // Rule states notify me when the core reaches below "1000"
            },
            "hash": {
                "min" : "100" // Rule states notify me when the overall hashrate reaches below "100"
            },
            "temp": {
                "max" : "80" // Rule states notify me when the overall temperature reache above "80C"
            },
            "voltage": { // Rule states notify me when voltage is below "1" or above "3"
                "min" : "1",
                "max" : "3"
            }
        }
    }
}

Possible threshold attributes

version      - Version of Ethos Rig is running 
hash         - Overall Hashrate of Rig
uptime       - Rig uptime in seconds 
cpu_temp     - Temperature of Rig CPU
temp         - Overall temperature of Rig
gpus         - Number of GPUs Rig has
fanrpm       - Each GPU Fan RPM
fanpercent   - Each GPU Fan Speed Percentage
miner_hashes - Each GPU Hashrate
core         - Each GPU Core Speed 
mem          - Each GPU Memory 
voltage      - Each GPU Voltage
powertune    - Each GPU Powertune

Once notifications is set, the system will also notify you up to 3 times if your rig has been down for over an hour.

Common Mistakes

• Why isn't ethos-auto-miner mining?
  • Make sure to change the rigname (f72a8a) attribute in the config to the rigname displayed in your ethos panel.
• Why am I not recieving any notification emails?
  • Make sure to replace the sample notification email (fake_email@test.com) attribute in the config.json with the email you want to recieve notifications. You can also list emails using a comma separator like so: bob.mining@test.com, john.doe@test.com.

Support

If you should find any bugs or need any enhancements please open a Github issue. I will try to get to it as soon as I can. Happy Mining Guys!

Donations

Your rig will donate one hour a day of mining time, roughly $0.15/day, towards improving the program and towards a free mobile app project under way for monintoring your Ethos rig. If you have any questions, feedback or suggestions please submit a Github issue.
