Ethereum: Automation of Devices BFGMINER

As a Bitcoin enthusiast, you may not be unfamiliar with the battles of manually connecting to your BFG miners. The current method of entry of the device can be boring and subject to errors at each launch. Fortunately, we will study alternative solutions that allow you to automate this process.

Current method: Simple script

Your start script is a good example of how a manual entry can run:

`bash

Bfgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz :3333 -u …

`

It determines the port and username of the device, but in reality the devices are not yet added. We will need to introduce an additional step to automate this process.

Introducing the script bfgminergen

Thebfgminergen ‘script is a tool specifically designed to generate BFGMINER configurations and automatically connect to the list of devices. More information on bfgminergen" can be found in the official GitHub repository: [ (

Here is a role model for "BFGMINERGEN" Script You You Can Use To Generate Configuration:

bash

#!/bin/bash

Define the Ports and Usernames of each blockchain device

Stratum1 = (

“192.168.0.100:3333” “Stratum.bitcoin.cz”

“192.168.0.101:3333” “Stratum.bitcoin.us”

)

Stratum2 = (

“192.168.0.102:3333” “Stratum.bitcoin.co”

“192.168.0.103:3333” “Stratum.bitcoin.at”

)

Define the devices and their corresponding ports

devices = (

“Block 1” “192.168.0.100:3333.192.168.0.101:3333”

“Block 2” “192.168.0.102:3333.192.168.0.103:3333”

)

Generate bfgminer configuration

Cat> Config.json 2> /Dev /Null << eof

{

“Devices”: {

“$ (” Stratum1 [0] ” +” | $ (Stratum1 [1]) “)”: True,

“$ (” Stratum2 [0] ” +” | $ (Stratum2 [1]) “)”: True

},

“Port”: “3333”,

“Username”: “Stratum.bitcoin.cz”

}

Eof

Save configuration in the file and attach it to the list of devices

CAT CONFIG.JON >> /DEV /NULL> BFGMINER.CONF

Now you can connect the devices using the following script:

#!/bin/bash

Echo “Enter the Port of Device:”

Read Department

Echo “Enter the username:”

Read devusername

Echo “$ bfgminer.conf”

bfgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz: for publjport -u $ devusername

`

Running bfgminergen

To run the “bfgminergen”, save it to the file (eg, bfgminer-gen.sh) and make the script executable:

`bash

chmod +x bfgminer-gen.shs

`

Then execute the script as you would usually do:

`bash

./bfgminer-gen.sh> bfgminer.conf

`

It will generate a “Config.json” file with your BFGMINER configuration. You can then connect this file to your device list using the script provided.

Tips and Variations

• You can also use the BFGMINERGEN script to generate time to generate several configurations for various blockchain.

• If you are using the Linux system, be sure to set the correct permission before execution (for example, chmod +x bfgmininer-gen.sh).

• You can consider adding error processing and input validation to make sure the list of devices is accurate.

By automating the device connecting the process to your BFGMINER, you will save time and reduce errors using the BFGMINERGEN script. Happy mining!
