Running multiple instances - Port detection timing about nplusminer HOT 11 CLOSED

I see, that Nemo have same code... But i think it is your code and implementation:) Thats why i write here

from nplusminer.

Yes, we share the same code.

Get-FreeTcpPort is called only once at start, not when miners are launched. That is why the readme says that miners of the first instance must be running prior starting the second instance.
Make sure first instance mines before starting the second and you should be fine.

If you automatically start NPlusMiner instances on windows startup, get a one minute sleep in the second instance batch.

I agree it might not be the best but this avoids polling port on every switch. (Polling ports too often might make some AV not happy)
I might review this later.

Your suggestion of adding 4068+[InstanceID] won't work if the port is used by any other app.

Quickly made this for you on a separate branch.
It will check available ports at each miner launch.
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for your reply.
My suggestion is:
Function Get-FreeTcpPort {
$StartPort = 4068 + [InstanceID] * 10
$PortFound = $false
$Port = $StartPort
While ($Port -le ($StartPort + 9) -and !$PortFound) {try{$Null = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient -ArgumentList 127.0.0.1,$Port;$Port++} catch {$Port;$PortFound=$True}}
}
Or you can use first GPU number from config instead of InstanceID (1st instance GPU 0,1,2 second GPU 3,4,5)

I'm programmer too. But i dont know PS syntax. My languages c++, c#, vb.net

What i don't see is what it changes from what's done currently?
This would just change the port range.

For different instances

Have you had a change to test the proposed version?

Hello!
Yes, no bugs yet. I have read your code and understand that it was my fail...
But i still have a trouble with stats updating. Now i'm trying zergpool. Pinpin now having trouble with ddos protections and miners some time losing connection... It doesn't matter witch pool i use - same issue can happen if internet connection is down for a while.
For example i have 1 1060 card and real hashrate on skein about 320Mh/s. When miner is running more than [StatsInterval] your miner start to update Stats... If during the [StatsInterval] miner software have lose connection - it reports incorrect avr speed via API. Maybe you can make some mods to Stats updating procedure? For example - if current speed more than 20% less, than the Live/Minute/5minute from stats - dont update stats speed.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for testing. Will include the change in next version.

If found case where miner don't like the port poll and stop :(
Need further investigations. Might be better way to detect available ports.
Sticking to detection at start for now.
