Simple Ethos User guide

After you first boot into EthOS, you are greeted by a nice status widget, showing useful CPU, GPU and Network Stats - alongside the very
important Web Stats Panel address.

Let’s start by editing the local configuration file and add our wallet. We can do that by entering: nano /home/ethos/local.conf or just
simply nano local.conf, assuming you are in the root of your home directory. You can use your preferred editor, for example  gEdit, a GUI
editor, which is bundled in with the distro.

For a solo mining rig, you must first delete the first line from /home/ethos/remote.conf. This ensures that the local settings won’t be
overwritten by the default EthOS settings.
To add your wallet, the first thing you should set up is the proxywallet variable - a complicated way of saying your address that you
want your mined funds sent to.
The second step is to input the mining pools you want to mine in proxypool1 and proxypool2 (the second pool is a backup just in case
the first one fails!)

Below are some extra instructions: File: /home/ethos/local.conf

# the maximum temperature allowed for your GPUs. After this threshold the mining is stopped maxgputemp: 95

# this is the default setting in EthOS and it is recommended that you leave it as is.
stratumproxy enabled

# We're in Europe so our main mining server must be located as close as possible to have the minimum amount of latency
proxypool1 eu1.ethpool.org:3333

# our backup mining pool

proxypool2 eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8080
# specific options for ethminer, you can add any parameter that you can find with the command "ethminer --help"

# --farm-recheck n - the number of milliseconds until the miner checks for work changes. Lower is better. This option depends on your
internet connection and your CPU. The default value is 500.

# --cl-global-work n - the OpenCL global work size

flags --cl-global-work 16384 --farm-recheck 200

Your local.conf file should look like this:

One important feature that EthOS has is the remote config option. This makes administering multiple rigs very easy. To take advantage
of this, just take your local.conf contents and upload them on the cloud.

Now you can overclock, restart, change your mining pools, all by just updating this single file.
You can stop the mining with the minestop command and start it again with minestart.

You can remotely check your mining rigs status from any device by visiting your Status Panel Address:
