Cold Knowledge | The function "mining machine grouping" used by big players

Experienced miners who have been in the mining circle for many years will definitely find that "mining machine grouping" has become a standard feature of high-quality mining pools. I heard that big players are using the grouping function. Why is "mining machine grouping" so important, and how to use it reasonably?

"挑Sir" will introduce in detail the functions and specific usage scenarios of mining machine grouping.

Let’s first take a look at the user interfaces of the mining machine groups of the major mining pools. They are beautiful and ugly, and each has its own characteristics.

BTC.TOP

There are too many to appreciate one by one!

It can be seen that the operating logic of the mining machine groups in each mining pool is roughly the same.

The main functions are as follows:

• Set different group names to manage mining machines differently.

• The group page gives the current mining machine operation status (active status/valid status) and basic information of the mining machine (mining machine name, average computing power, rejection rate, and last submission time).

• The BTC.com mining pool additionally gives the number of rejections within a certain period of time.

• ViaBTC mining pool additionally provides a line chart of the computing power and rejection rate of each group.

Using the "mining machine grouping" function, you can easily compare the mining machine status between groups at the same time. What type of miners is this function suitable for?

When a miner has 2 or 10 mining machines at the same time, due to the very limited number, he can directly see the operation status of each mining machine according to the mining machine name in the All Mining Machines page. The "Mining Machine Grouping" function is very limited.

When the number of mining machines reaches hundreds or even thousands , it is difficult to find the problematic mining machine or the data that needs to be compared from the pages of all mining machines. At this time, the role of "mining machine grouping" becomes particularly important. Therefore, the "mining machine grouping" function is more suitable for miners with a large number of mining machines.

Since many mining pools have fee reduction policies for large computing power users, and individual computing power is too little, the computing power of multiple people is aggregated into one mining pool account, and the computing power is combined to reach the fee reduction computing power standard, which is convenient for mining machine viewing and profit settlement.

It is difficult for a mining farm with a large number of machines to quickly find a mining machine among many mining machines when a problem occurs. Therefore, the mining machines are grouped according to the rack. The rack where the mining machine with the problem is located can be directly located on the mining pool page, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to quickly maintain it.

Mine personnel group the mining machines according to the time of purchase. On the one hand, they can clearly see the operating status of the newly purchased mining machines to avoid buying second-hand or refurbished machines. On the other hand, it is convenient for the mine's financial personnel to calculate the profits.

Mining field personnel group mining machines according to the products of different mining machine manufacturers at the same time or different models of the same manufacturer. Over a period of time, they can compare the operating conditions of different mining machines and provide suggestions for future purchases of mining machines.
