Zilliqa (ZIL) Mining Switch for ethOS

crypto-zil-miner-switch-ethos's Issues

Installer: kill running instance

When upgrading kill an instance if one is running.

Add Proof-of-Mining (Logging)

(A10)

Plan How-to Video

• Motivation
• Explanation about how Zilliqa Miner is supposed to work with Pool
• Installing Mining Switcher
• Configuring Mining Switcher for use with some example Pool
• Show successful mining (log output, received ZIL on viewblock, etc.)

avoid segmentation fault

segmentation fault maybe due to starting miner too fast when previous miner hasn't fully terminated yet

Readme: describe upgrade

Installer: clean apt cache

to save disk space clean apt cache after installation

Add details for Configuration

(A04)

get status / check running

Users want to know if switcher is running.
Make sure users can check if it's running.

Installer: install from master branch

• A08 - Zilliqa miner should be able to run without primary miner
• A09 - Show Zilliqa miner in ethOS Statistic UI
• A10 - Stability
• Documentation
• A03 - Install Zilliqa miner
• A04 - Configure Zilliqa miner
• A05 - Uninstall Zilliqa miner
• How-to Video

reduce logging level

Claymore Option

Users sometimes prefer to use claymore instead of phoenix miner. There can be an option to use claymore or phoenix, probably with a 0 or 1 check in minerpool.txt and an if statement to check for it.

To connect to the pool using claymore the minimum setup is

-allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -epool pool.zil.farm:3333 -ewal {Wallet} -eworker {Worker_Name}

curl as requirement

add to Readme Installation guide !

Installer: keep config .txt when upgrading

Installer URL is broken

Installer: Install Requirements

calling API too often

extend interval on the last minutes to avoid API blocking

catch race conditions

e.g. main miner not stopping properly

Uninstall Guide

(A05)

redesign to end zil mining when pow actually ends

PhoenixMiner:
Eth: New job #00000000 from eu1-zil.shardpool.io:3333; diff: 8589MH

ensure it's running a single instance only

Ability to run ZIL mining only

... without mining another "primary" coin.
(A08)

add worker name

Installer: add worker name to be the hostname of the ethos rig

Requested by: @Swaggadan ( http://t.me/kidkid1 )

For now it can be edited in mineropts.txt manually.

Readme: Add Pool

Add details to Readme that we're mining via a mining pool rather than mining solo.

install into cron

Install into Cron instead of (or additionally to) custom.sh

depends on: #11 (ensure running single instance)

Write ReadMe

Readme: add check/verification

Logic for PoW-Wait

Add Installation to ReadMe

add logging

Installer: Do Configuration

update default pool
