4. Start Mining

  • Double-click the .bat file to start.
  • Check the console window to ensure mining is running correctly.

Description:

  1. @echo off – Hides the execution of commands in the command prompt.
  2. cd /d %~dp0 – Moves the current directory to the location of the .bat file.
  3. bzminer -a rvn – Specifies the mining algorithm (Ravencoin).
  4. -p stratum+tcp://rvn.kryptex.network:7777 – Specifies the pool URL where the hash rate will be sent.
  5. -w YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME – Replace “0000” with your wallet address and specify your rig’s name.
  6. –nc 1 – A parameter that can be used to prevent reconnection.

BZMiner Configuration File

BZMiner allows you to configure mining using the config.txt file. This file serves as a convenient alternative to .bat files and helps automate the startup process.

To configure config.txt, specify the following parameters:

  1. wallet: Your mining wallet address.
  2. pool: The URL of your mining pool.
  3. rig: The name of your rig (or worker). This is used for tracking statistics.

Example content for the configuration file:

{
"algorithm": "ethash",
"wallet": "your_wallet_address",
"pool": [
"ethproxy+tcp://ethash.poolbinance.com:8888"
],
"rig": "rig1",
"pool_password": "",
"nvidia_only": false,

}
]
}

Launch BZMiner using the command line, specifying the configuration file:

bzminer -c config.txt

With this, the basic setup is complete. Run BZMiner and monitor its performance.

BZMiner API Setting

Introduction to the API

The API (Application Programming Interface) in BZMiner provides a powerful tool for remotely monitoring and managing your mining process. With the API, you can automatically collect performance data, track the status of your hardware, adjust settings, and control the mining process without needing physical access to the device.

Key features of the BZMiner API include:

  • Retrieving current mining status (hashrate, temperature, power usage).
  • Managing devices (turning them on/off, adjusting settings).
  • Retrieving logs and error messages.
  • Adjusting mining parameters on the fly.

Integration and Process Automation

Integrating the BZMiner API with your systems allows you to automate the management of your mining operations, significantly improving efficiency. For example, you can set up automatic pool switching when profitability decreases or change overclocking settings when GPU temperatures fluctuate.

Examples of integration:

  1. Monitoring scripts: Use the API to create scripts that regularly check hardware status and send alerts in case of anomalies.

  2. Algorithm switching automation: Set up automatic switching between algorithms based on current market conditions to maximize profit.

  3. Integration with management systems: Incorporate BZMiner into your existing monitoring and management systems for centralized control.

Example of API Usage

To start working with the API, you need to enable it in the configuration and set a port for communication. Example configuration:

"api_port": 4067,
"api_bind": "127.0.0.1"

Example request to get the current mining status:

curl http://127.0.0.1:4067/stats
This request will return a JSON object with current parameters such as hashrate, temperature, power usage, and other data.
