Setting Bans / Finite Mining

Swarm has its own ban system, to remove miners that don't seem to work well. However, if you wish to fine-tune SWARM to mine under certain circumstance, there are two major ways to do so:

As Argument

-Bans x16r:z-enemy-1,gminer-1,x22i:nlpool,grincuckatoo31:NVIDIA3,veil

This will do the following:

  • Ban x16r on z-enemy-1
  • Ban the miner gminer-1
  • Ban x22i from nlpool
  • Ban grincuckatoo31 from NVIDIA3 device group
  • Ban veil altogether.

Using as arguments means it is temporary, if you remove the arguments the bans are gone.

Using A Command (Works Remotely)

As Command:

bans add x16r:z-enemy-1,gminer-1,x22i:nlpool

This will permanently ban those items. Meaning it will transfer on updates, and require them to be removed.

bans remove x16r:z-enemy-1,gminer-1,x22i:nlpool

Mining A Finite Set of Coins/Algorithms

SWARM has the ability to select only a few coins / algorithms to mine with. This is done by utilizing the -Coin and -Algorithm parameters in conjunction with the -Auto_Coin and -Auto_Algo parameters.

-Coin RVN,VEIL,GIN,XZC -Algorithm x16r,VEIL,x16rt,mtp -Auto_Coin Yes -Auto_Algo No Will mine only those coins on pools that support coinpools.

-Coin RVN,VEIL,GIN,XZC -Algorithm x16r,VEIL,x16rt,mtp -Auto_Coin Yes -Auto_Algo Yes Will mine those coins on coinpools, and will mine algorithms on algopools
