Hey, sorry if this has already been discussed here, but I’m pretty new and honestly don’t even know the right terms to look for answers.
I’m curious if you can combine ASIC miners, like having them point to a solo mining pool and then pooling their hashing power together. I’ve got an S9 and a T17, which together give me around 95TH/s for any SHA-256 coin I want to mine. Right now, they’re set up in the same pool but are mining separately. I want to find a way to make them work together.
I heard that ckpool has a Linux program that can do this, but I’m not sure how to set it up on an ASIC miner. I usually configure them through their own interfaces, you know? No idea how to funnel them through a Linux setup to a mining pool.
Has anyone done this before? I’d love to hear how you made it work.
Thanks!
Answered my own question. Just needed to put the worker name after the address, i.e., <BITCOIN ADDRESS.RIG_ID>. Shows up with the combined hashing power.
Not really sure what you are saying.
If you point 2 miners at (e.g. my) pool, they each get separate work.
Everyone 'achieves' this all the time
If you know some pool that doesn't do this, then you should stay far away from that pool.
That's a bug that means the pool is throwing away hash rate.
The worker name doesn't affect that.
Using two worker names means you can breakdown and total the work each miner is doing.
The overall total is still the same.
Actually, you just make yourself confused to setting up the miner you just need is a worker name you can name them miner1(s9) and miner2(t17) and point them directly to the same pool. You can see your whole hashrate on the pool dashboard as a combined hashrate of these two miners.
If you are mining on solo mining with https://solo.ckpool.org/ you can just ignore the .RIG_ID and only put BTC address the RIG_ID
Sample setup for s9
You can set up your both miner with the same pool config without adding something at the end of the BTC address.
