Getting tired of having to type you username and password every time you want to ssh into a Rig??
Saving your PuTTY username and password in a Windows Shortcut
We will create a Windows shortcut which will store our PuTTY session information so that we don’t have to enter the username and password every time we log in.
If you haven’t already installed PuTTY, you can download it for free from www.putty.org
Create Windows Shortcut
Begin by creating a Windows Shortcut.
Right-click the Desktop, select New and Shortcut.
Click Browse and navigate to the PuTTY folder (usually located in C:\Program Files\PuTTY or C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY)
Select putty.exe, click OK and Next.
Enter a name for you shortcut. e.g. RIG1 and click Finish.
Edit Shortcut
Right-click on your new shortcut and click Properties.
After the double quotes at the very end, paste in the following - -ssh john@192.168.1.10 -pw PaSsWoRd
Replace john with your username, 192.168.1.10 with your RIG1 local IP and PaSsWoRd with your own password (live is the default one in PiMP).
It will look a little something like......
"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" -ssh john@192.168.1.10 -pw PaSswOrD
Click OK and you’re done!
Now when you double-click the shortcut it will bring you straight into your Rig without having to enter username or password.
Obviously this is not the "safest" or most "secure" thing to do, but you can always change the password if you have concerns.
Nb - I can't take the credit for this.. Much "google-fu ing) later.. I found it and just modified it so it was more relevant to us PiMPs.
Happy Mining all!
Currently, there are some licensing considerations with this method and Miner.farm. Be aware that every running miner profile, uses a Miner.farm license at this time.
To get your Watts showing more accurately, there are some things you can adjust yourself.
By adding Watts to the fields below manually, you can get it to match the power usage AT THE WALL (if you have a meter of course). I have mine set to “compact view” to show me all the goodies. 😉
For example…
Your main MinerFarm “view” screen.
There are two baseline power fields. One on the miner and one for the rig/actual PC or system.
Miner View Baseline Power is only used for miners that do not report their power usage.
If you know you GPU is using 100w of power but your chosen miner is not reporting and thus showing 0’s or nothing, this is where you would enter 100. If you have 6 x GPU’s, and you know each is using 100w, enter 600 in here.
For example…
When you click on one of your miners (above image, 3rd line down, Production Rig 1) you’ll see something like the below. Down the bottom right is where you add this. It’s worth mentioning that the Watts displayed on this screen are the Watts used by the device/s for mining. In my case below, the Watts that the GPU’s are using.
The Host Power Baseline is for the rig's overhead power (CPU/MB/RAM/SSD/PSU/Riser Cards) (i.e. Things not reported via a miner.)
For example…
When you click on “Admin” on the left navigation tabs you will see something like the below.
Then click on the Agent you wish to amend from the above ie, I’ll stick with my Production Rig 1 on the 2nd line, and again, see below screenshot, down the bottom right you would add your base watts here for that Rig/PC/System.
Now your Watts aka power usage should be pretty right.
As always.. if anyone needs assistance.. please jump on the chat in Discord and a friendly fellow PiMP will be glad to help out.
Happy mining all. 😊

Hello pimps I am sharing some talks we had about this in discord, hope it helps someone:
pimp currently supports many usb asic andsoon monitor network asic too
ASIC:
4x GekkoScience 2Pac
1x NF1 Nanofury
1x Futurebit Moonlander 2
here is what it looks like on the rig
[/root/bbb/extras]:# pimp --add asic
Profile list filtered by "asic":
ID Name
5101 (asic) bfgminer: for usb gridseed/asics [bfg.gsd.conf]
5102 (asic) bfgminer: for usb zeus/asics [bfg.zeus.conf]
5151 (asic) bfgminer: for usb futurebit asics [bfg.futurebit.conf]
5211 (asic) cgminer-dmaxl: for usb gridseed asics [cgminer.gsd.conf]
5221 (asic) cgminer-dmaxl: for usb zeus asics [cgminer.zeus.conf]
5301 (asic) cgminer-gekko: for usb gekkoscience 2pac asics [cgminer.gekko.conf]
5321 (asic) cgminer-ckolivas: for usb nanofury SHA-256 asics [cgminer.nanofury.conf]
Usage: pimp --add [Profile ID]
those are the miners designed for asic use (cgminer and bfgminer) and the clones of them, and they build those cgminer versions specially for some hardware to get good hashrates, i think too
For the complete list of PiMP Profiles, miners and confs, and how to use them, check out this post: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/10/setting-up-miner-profiles
Q: Any to avoid? I saw some USED on ebay. I wasn't aware of an after-market for ASICs. I went with GPU mining as I can and do sell used for
asics are usually semi profitable the sooner you get them but as more asic released for a coin then the diff goes up because everyone mines with so used asic usually for fun, learning, and if you have cheap power, a little more. mostly if you are a believer that the coins will go up then you value them even if take a slight loss due to electrics yes there are several SHA-256 algorithm coins
also great for fun & learning. For $50 you could play with one or two.
TLDR: if you look at the ones that use cgminer / bfg miner you will be in good shape
some of the team have androids and other miners that are being picked up by miner.farm - coming soon
Happy mining pimps!
Hey Ander217.
Thanks for the PiMP plug, glad you are enjoying it.
As for the right place to post.. well.. as long as you get the answers you need timely.. there is no "wrong" spot ;)
Sooo. firstly.. there are 2 spots to change your workers name. Both are in the pcfg file (pimp --edit x).
Hmmm.. I'm trying to put images here for you but seems it will not let me.. but the 2 spots are...
After your wallet address up towards the top.
Arrow down .. right down towards the bottom until you see the FLAGS= section.. change the "pimpworker" there to your rig name mate.
That will sort you out. :)
As a side note.. Claymore is "ok", but I have found that PhoenixMiner is a little better. Hashrate is a little higher, their fees are a little less and data through to MinerFarm seems a little better too.
Jump in the PiMP discord channel anytime mate.. there's always someone helpful in there 24/7. :)
Happy Mining Brother! :)
