This tool is a fork of the auto_switch for ethOS by allcrypto (https://github.com/allcrypto/auto_switch)
Run in HiveOS terminal:
git clone https://github.com/akokkon/auto_switch.git
Optional but strongly recommended is the installation of leafpad and pcmanfm, if you do not prefer to use HiveOS' terminal and subsequentlly nano as command line editor:
sudo apt-get install leafpad (xhive text editor)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pcmanfm (xhive file manager)
sudo apt-get update
** To enable a new coin you have to place:
a. a config file in the `configs` folder
b. a config file -with the same name as the above- in the `overclockings` folder
** Steps to create config files:
a. from HiveOS web Interface launch the `flight-sheet` of the coin that you prefer to mine (e.g. ETH)
b. from terminal run `pcmanfm` and then open `wallet.conf` (path: /hive-config/wallet.conf)
c. `edit` the 9th line of `wallet.conf` in this way:
MINER="insert_the_name_of_miner" (e.g. MINER="ethminer")
d. `save as` the `wallet.conf` file to the path `/auto_switch/configs` with filename in this format: `poolname-TAG_OF_COIN.conf` (e.g. dwarfpool-ETH.conf); for nicehash you have to follow this format: `poolname-TAG_OF_ALGO.conf` (daggerhashimoto-NICEHASH.conf and then daggerhashimoto-ETHASH.conf or daggerhashimoto-EQUIHASH.conf or daggerhashimoto-NeoScrypt.conf ...)
e. from `pcmanfm` open `nvidia-oc.conf` (path: `/hive-config/nvidia-oc.conf`)
f. `save as` the `nvidia-oc.conf` file to the path `/auto_switch/overclockings` with filename: `poolname-ETH.conf` (e.g. dwarfpool-ETH.conf)
** The script will automatically use the tag in the filename to apply the config for the specific coin.
e.g. poolname-ETH.conf = ETH, poolname-RVN.conf = KMD
** Note that we do not know about AMD GPUs and if there is -in the same way- an amd-oc.conf file to save as it to the overclockings folder
a. Insert time in seconds for the next whattomine check-point
b. Enter Telegram-bot notification settings (chatid, key)
c. Define the percentage of profit above that the system switches to the most profitable coin (greater_profit)
d. Define the WTM URL for looking up current prices from whattomine.com.
Enter parameters about your setup, and then parse it according to what you're looking for ... So select your video cards, hashrate and power cost, click calculate, then copy the link and add ".json" after "coins" and you will get output based on what you fed into it.
After every coin auto_switch the miner-log is being copied to the /logs/ folder. That way you can more easily track if a config file wasn't working.
There's also a main log of the script itself which is written to /scripts/log
After every coin auto_switch you will be notified through the telegram bot you have start in this format:
HiveOS switched to COIN_TAG (RPOFIT_PERCENT) (e.g. HiveOS switched to RVN (125%))
To create your telegram-bot you can follow this guide: https://tutorials.botsfloor.com/creating-a-bot-using-the-telegram-bot-api-5d3caed3266d?gi=45407e1d0131 (at the end of this process you will get and write down the telegram-bot API KEY)
To get your chatid you have to open https://telegram.me/myidbot --> open in web and after authorization send /getid.
