Mass change miners' pools

Remotely manage miners via the dashboard for mass or single changes of miners' pools. Use the mass action panel for multiple miners or the options' menu for a single miner.

Requirements for remote actions

• A Core, Scale, or Enterprise plan is required.

• Access is managed via Roles → Farm Permissions; only authorized users can perform remote actions. All activities are logged (see Logs tab or "View logs" in the miner's menu).

• For WhatsMiner devices, the API must be enabled. How to enable it →

To mass change miners' pools via the mass action panel:

1. Go to Dashboard.

2. Select miners by checking relevant boxes..

3. Click Change pools on the mass action panel.

4. Enter URL - server address where the miner will connect for operation.

5. Enter Worker name - the unique identifier assigned to the miner within the mining pool.

6. Choose Divider - dot or underscore used to separate different components of the worker name.

7. Choose Variables - predefined placeholders for dynamic worker name configuration.

   • Unique: A unique identifier for the miner.​

   • MAC: The miner's MAC address.​

   • Increment: An incremental number assigned to each miner.​

   • IP: The miner's IP address.​

   • IP (octet 1st): The first octet of the IP address.​

   • IP (octet 2nd): The second octet of the IP address.​

   • IP (octet 3rd): The third octet of the IP address.​

   • IP (octet 4th): The fourth octet of the IP address.​

   • IP (octet 3rdx4th): Combination of the third and fourth octets.

8. Enter Worker password - password for worker authentication with the mining pool.

9. Click Apply.

Configuration Inputs:

• Worker Name: miner_{IP(3rdx4th)}

• Divider: _ (underscore)

• Miner IP Address: 192.168.1.25

Generated Worker Name: miner_1x25

Explanation:

• {IP(3rdx4th)} takes the 3rd and 4th octet of the IP (1 and 25) and combines them as 1x25.

• The underscore _ is used as the divider.

To single change miners' pools:

To change pools for a single miner, click on the three dots next to it, and select "Change pools" from the dropdown menu. This option allows for individual reboot without going through the bulk process.

In a single action, the variable is set to None, meaning you can manually enter any value in the Worker Name field. The system will save exactly what you enter without applying any automatic changes or placeholders.

Key Difference:

• With None: The system does not modify or generate any part of the worker name; it simply saves the value you manually input.

• With other variables: The system dynamically generates the worker name based on predefined placeholders (e.g., {MAC}, {IP(3rdx4th)}).

This allows for full customization when assigning worker names without automatic formatting.

FAQ

How do I change the mining pools for multiple miners?

• Go to Dashboard, select miners, and click Change pools.

• Enter URL, Worker Name, Divider, Variables, and Password.

• Click Apply to save changes.

What variables can I use for dynamic worker names?

MAC, IP, Increment, Unique ID, and different IP octets.

How do I change the pool for a single miner?

Click on the three dots next to the miner, and select "Change pools" from the dropdown menu. This allows for individual reboot without using the bulk process.

What happens if I set the variable to ‘None’?

The system saves the exact worker name you enter, without modifications.

How can I control who changes pools?

Set permissions in Roles → Farm Permissions. Changes are logged in the Logs tab.

Where can I view pool change logs?

Go to the Logs tab or select View logs from a miner’s menu.

Why didn’t my pools change?

If your mining pools didn’t update, check the following:

1. Incorrect Pool URL – Ensure the entered URL is valid and reachable.

2. Worker Name Format Issue – Verify the Worker Name and selected variables are correct.

3. Pool Requires Authentication – Pools need a password; confirm it's entered correctly.

4. Miner Connection Issues – Check if miners are online and connected to the network.

5. Firmware Restrictions – Some firmware may prevent pool changes; try updating or restarting the miner.

6. Delayed Sync – Changes may take time; refresh the Dashboard or reboot the miner.
