How to set up Ethos Config files for dual mining
Setting up Ethos Config files is the easy part. If you rig is up and hashing, you are almost done. I recommend editing the config files via terminal (the black box on the side of the screen). Do not get overwhelmed. It is a lot easier than it looks.
For dual mining, you will have to edit 3 files.
- Remote.conf
- Local.conf
- claymore.stub.conf
Steps for dual mining.
Step one
- You have to upgrade your user privilege
- Type SU and hit enter
- Type your user name, and press enter. Default user name is "ethos"
- Type your password, and press enter. Default password is "live"
- you will not see the password while you are typing it
Step Two
- Edit your remote config file, so your settings wouldn't reset every time it restarts
- Type nano remote.conf , and press enter
- Delete the first line (all of it)
- press Ctrl and O
- Press enter
- Press Ctrl and X
- You should be back at the default screen
Step three
- Edit Local config file
- Type nano local.conf , and press enter
- Go to the top and change the miner. type globalminer claymore
- Change the proxy wallet to your wallet address
- Proxypool us1.ethermine.org:4444
- proxypool2 us2.ethermine.org:4444
- flags change global work number to 16387
- press Ctrl and O
- Press enter
- Press Ctrl and X
- You should be back at the default screen
you final local config file should look like this
globalminer claymore
maxgputemp 85
stratumproxy enabled
Proxywallet 0x6ac7826833A4f14DE64F4c3D1Bc2977DBedE5F13
proxypool us1.ethermine.org:444
proxypool2 pool-eu.ethosdistro.com:5001
lags --cl-global-work 16387 --farm-recheck 200
globalfan 85
Step four
- Edit claymore config file
- Type nano claymore.stub.conf, and press enter
- you only have to edit the bottom half. (LEAVE THE TOP HALF AS IS)
- press Ctrl and O
- Press enter
- Press Ctrl and X
- You should be back at the default screen
Make sure your config file looks like below. (I choose ETH/Sia as my two coins)
-mode 0
-epool us1.ethermine.org:4444
-ewal 0x6ac7826833A4f14DE64F4c3D1Bc2977DBedE5F13
-epsw x
-dpool stratum+tcp://siamining.com:7777
-dwal dcca3a347c2a7559d8e078242c06ef05a072f717a28c17bdcf0c00433256924a210071a98d82
-dpsw x
-esm 1
-mode 0
#-tt 70
-dcoin sia
That's it you are done. Restart the rig and hash away. Let me know if you want the config file for anything other than ETH/Sia
Let me know if you have any questions, and i will be more than happy to help.
Hey there!
Thanks for your description! Is it possible to dual mine Ethereum Classic (ETC) and Sia (SC) with Claymore?
Also is there a way to recover the default set up, meaning the screen that you get as you open "nano home/ethos/claymore.stub.conf" for the first time?
I have trouble saving my made changes in the "claymore.stub.conf" file for unknown reasons (file or directory does not exist).
Appreciate your help!
Cheers
