To run the mining operation on another computer on the network, the first step is to install and run Awesome Miner Remote Agent on all computers that will be used for mining, except the computer where the Awesome Miner main application is running. Once the Remote Agent is running, it can be used when creating a new Managed Miner in the steps below.

Follow this guide to setup either a single Managed Miner or multiple Managed Miners using the network scan.

Setup a single Managed Miner

  1. Click New miner... in the main window of Awesome Miner
  2. The wizard welcome page is displayed. Click Next to continue.
  3. Select Managed Miner and click Next
  4. Configure the new miner:
    1. Description: Give the new miner a description (optional)
    2. Managed host: Specify on which host the miner should be running. Select Local to run on the local computer where Awesome Miner is running. To run the mining on a computer where Remote Agent is running, either select it from the list if it already been added, or click the New button to add it. When adding a new Remote Agent, the IP address of the computer where the Remote Agent is running needs to be specified.
    3. Click Next to continue
  5. Configure the mining software and algorithm:
    1. Algorithm: Specify the algorithm to use for mining (optional)
    2. Software / Path: Specify the mining software to be used. Based on algorithm, some mining software will be listed in gray to indicate that they do not support the selected algorithm. By default Awesome Miner will automatically download the mining software, but when required, it's also possible to manually download and then specify the path to the software.
    3. Pool: Mining pool to use.
    4. Click Next to continue
  6. Click Finish to confirm the new miner

Setup multiple Managed Miners

  1. Click New miner... in the main window of Awesome Miner
     
  2. The wizard welcome page is displayed. Click Next to continue.
  3. Select Network scan and click Next
  4. Select the Miner type Awesome Miner Remote Agent and the IP range to scan. Click Start scan and wait until the scan is finished:
    1. Check the box on the left side for each miner you want to add
    2. Give the new miners a description (optional)
    3. Click Next to continue
  5. Select Managed Miner:
    1. Algorithm: Specify the algorithm to use for mining (optional)
    2. Software / Path: Specify the mining software to be used. Based on algorithm, some mining software will be listed in gray to indicate that they do not support the selected algorithm. By default Awesome Miner will automatically download the mining software, but when required, it's also possible to manually download and then specify the path to the software.
    3. Pool: Mining pool to use.
    4. Click Next to continue
  6. Click Finish to confirm the new miners
