What’s Smart Agent?
Smart agent is a stratum proxy released by Poolin.com mining pool. Acting as the connection between miners and mining pool, smart agent can help increase the management efficiency of miners and save network traffic. The agent mainly has the following functions:
- save network traffic and bandwidth;
- support syncing worker setting from miners;
- support setting sub-accounts in smart agent for miners, and hashrate allocation weight of different sub-accounts;
- support keeping electrical load when there’s no network connection.
Mining Setting
- Miner Configuration Setting
Agent port is the port that miners are connected to the agent, which will be used in miner configuration. In miner configuration page, you need to set agent ip:agent port as mining url.
Example
Mining URL: 192.168.1.2:8080
Explanation:
192.168.1.2 is the computer’s LAN IP where smart agent is installed;
8080 is the agent port you set in smart agent;
192.168.1.2:8080 is the mining URL you shall set in miner configuration page.
- Smart Agent Setting
In smart agent, you need to set mining url and/or worker (sub-account) which can be got from Poolin.com website.
Example
Pool Mining URL |
Port |
443 |
|
1883 |
|
25 |
- Sync Worker from Miners
If you’d like to mine with the pre-set workers (sub-account.miner ID) in miner configuration page, please click as follows:
[⚫] sync worker from miners
[⚪] set sub-accounts in agent
Note: please check and double confirm the worker setting in all miners are correct, or your miners may be mining in incorrect sub-account.
- Set Sub-accounts in Agent
If you’d like to set sub-accounts in smart agent for all miners in the same network, please click as follows:
[⚪] Sync worker from miners
[⚫] Set sub-accounts in agent
You need to set both sub-accounts and corresponding allocation weight by choosing this mode. Details are as follows.
- Sub-account: the one you’ve created in poolin.com website;
- Allocation weight: range from 1-100. You need to set a weight for each sub-account. In case of one sub-account, this sub-account will have 100% of the hashrate that are connected to the agent. And in case of two or more sub-accounts, the hashrate connecting to the agent will be allocated to those sub-accounts according to the weight you’ve set.
- Percentage: this column is a value calculated based on your weight setting which cannot be edited.
Example
Sub-account |
Weight |
Percentage |
poolin001 |
90 |
52.94% |
poolin002 |
80 |
47.06% |
- Auto-run
After activating auto-run, smart agent will start up together with the computer. In case of power outage, smart agent will restart when power is back and the computer starts up.
- Electrical Load Keep
When electrical load keep is activated, smart agent will continue to send virtual jobs to miners and make miners work as usual and keep regular power consumption when smart agent loses connection to Poolin.com mining pool (generally in case of no network connection)
Note: in case of no network connection, those jobs miners are working on are invalid ones and cannot make profit.
