Deploying 2nd PI miner #20

Open africanman1961 opened 6 years ago

africanman1961 commented 6 years ago

While trying to deploy my second PI 3 miner I received this error - API bind to port 4048 failed - trying again in 20sec. I am assuming this port 4048 refers to this file. Is there an alternate port or is there another fix to this issue?

you have another instance of cpuminer running in the background. check top or htop an kill the background miner. then start your own instance of it.

Is there a way to run two instances of the miner simultaneously on the same machine ?

For those looking for answer, pleas use the--api-bind 0 option

./cpuminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://xmr.poolto.be:2999 -u <your_wallet_address> -p x --api-bind 0

-a : Mining Algorithm, "cryptonight" in case of Monero. -u : User, in case of the Monero Pool server, it's the wallet address that will receive the Mining Reward. -p : Password, received from server owner, most of times 'x' for public servers. -o : Pool server URL, with stratum+tcp: - Protocol //xmr.poolto.be - Server Address :2999 - Server Port

--api-bind 0 : disables the remote API interface.
