Support for additional miners
ravensorb opened this issue · comments
Any thoughts on extending support for other miners (Eth, Claymore, etc)?
No also because Minera was born and still intended for Raspberry use where you can't mine with GPU, so it doesn't make sense.
Sorry.
Not sure I follow. Wouldn't it be a matter of accessing this tools monitoring APIs (ex: claymore has a json-rpc based api)
Not so easy, you have also to manage the start/stop and the configurations. Furthermore you should also prepare the system with all the drivers needed by the various GPU cards. It should be completely different from the current Minera.
Agreed and the claymore api allows for stats per card, as well as ability to start/stop miner or individual cards if needed. Or is there more that is needed?
Nope Claymore give you only the ability to look at stats, all the rest you have to write scripts, for example if you want to change the pool or the pool address you have to write down a new configuration file, stop and start the miner. And this is to be done for any re-configuration of the miner.
Ahh, ok I understand now. You are correct in that regards, you need to update a file and then you can trigger a "restart" with the API.
Correct.
