Hello Miners!

Today, I would like to explain how does my Worker Management feature work. As you may have seen from the video, Worker Management is designed to bring about the ease of use when maintaining a large scale of workers. With this feature, having a large quantity of workers connected will not inconvenience you, the user, in any way. On the contrary, it will help to keep your workers well-arranged, so you always know which one is doing what.

What is a worker and what is a miner? A miner is your mining device. When connecting to Slush Pool, your miner will be connected to a worker. So why should you have more than just one worker? First, it divides the job between your miners, giving you a more granular control over them. Second, it helps you to maintain an overview about the performance of your individual mining machines, if you set up one miner — one worker.

What are the advantages of Worker Management?

As this system is designed with hundreds or even thousands of workers in mind, mostly the big miners will benefit from this. When connecting miners, the system will connect them to a worker, based on the login used. This will happen even if the worker does not exist; the system will automatically create one.

login: userID.workerName

Apart from miner setup, everything else is automatic. there is no necessary user-input beyond entering the worker name in the login, making it easy for you to just plug-and-play. This feature is especially helpful for large-scale operations, where additionally setting up thousands of workers manually would consume precious labor time.

But the neat worker overview and its features help our small miners as well. With the auto-worker feature, you, the miner, can rest assured that even without naming the miner at login, it will continue to mine on your account (by logging in with just the userID and without the workerName). No Hash Rate is ever wasted. This maintains the ease of use, in case you do not want to distinguish between miners — zero-work maintenance.
