How to set up Ethos Config files for dual mining

in ethos •  7 years ago 

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
