Auto Start Miner with Hash Monitor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\nIf you have spent any time mining with Vega&#8217;s you know the drivers are \nflaky and can be prone to &#8220;hash drop&#8221;.&nbsp; That means they can be running \nat full speed for a few hours or days and then BAM!&nbsp; For seemingly no \nreason they throttle down to 1600h\/s and you are loosing 20% of your \noutput until you check on your system and catch the problem.&nbsp; This is a&nbsp;HUGE&nbsp;frustration\n and can make mining with Vega&#8217;s really high maintenance.  \n@TheJerichoJones has developed a program to manage the madness.  The \nprogram, &#8220;JJ&#8217;s Precious Guardian&#8221;, is a one shot method to starting your\n miner.&nbsp; It does all the things we did previously:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Disable Vega&#8217;s,&nbsp;<\/li><li>Enable Vega&#8217;s,&nbsp;<\/li><li>call OverdriveNTool,&nbsp;<\/li><li>and start xmr-stak&#8230;.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> but it&nbsp;ALSO&nbsp;monitors and manages the hash drop problem.&nbsp; Precious Guardian&nbsp;detects when hash drop has happened and&nbsp;automatically restarts&nbsp;the Vega&#8217;s back up to full speed.&nbsp; Vega mining with 56&#8217;s and 64&#8217;s is can be the fire-and-forget miner you expected it to be. <br> The hash monitor REQUIRES that you are using xmr-stak (as we installed above).  Keep in mind you ALREADY have a functioning miner.  This step is totally worth it but is not required.   <br> Note: While his original program was to be supported by donations&#8230;  they were extremely rare so he has now designed Precious Guardian to  mine for himself (TheJerichoJones) for the first 5 minutes after every  restart.  This equates to about 1 cent for a Vega restart.  Even though I  actually contributed with the initial concept of the program, I  personally have no issue paying him this fee on my two miners because it  is (a) really small and (b) because I want him to stay engaged to offer  bug fixes and updates.  My systems (and hopefully yours) are pretty  stable so it costs a trivial amount to use the program&#8230; and when it  does kick in, that means I hash dropped and thus I find it totally worth  it.  YMMV. <br> If you are not interested in hash monitoring, TheJerichoJones provides a  free script that will reset the Vega&#8217;s and start the miner but does not  monitor for hash drop.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\n<strong>DOWNLOAD AND CONFIGURE JJ&#8217;s PRECIOUS GUARDIAN<\/strong>\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>download &#8220;Precious Guardian&#8221;<ul><li>If using XMR-stak or higher: Click&nbsp;<!--noindex--><noindex><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/crypto-mining.blog\/LINKURL\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jcnlwdG8tbWluaW5nLmNsdWIvZW4vbWluaW5nL3htci1zdGFrLTItMTAtNy1kb3dubG9hZC1hbmQtY29uZmlndXJlLw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"  target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a><\/noindex><!--\/noindex-->.<\/li><li>If using XMR-stak version 2.3 or higher: Click&nbsp;<!--noindex--><noindex><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/crypto-mining.blog\/LINKURL\/aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56LyMhNkxwaHlZSVMhQTlMOXczdEFpR2p4Y2NwMzZwMzZscEJZeW9WaHBUR3ZkQUEtbGNJYVlWNA==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"  target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a><\/noindex><!--\/noindex-->.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Unzip contents INTO THE DIRECTORY that contains XMR_Stak.exe, OverdriveNTool.exe and OverdriveNTool.ini<\/li><li>(Windows 7 users only: I am told you need Management Framework 3.0 which can be downloaded from Microsoft <!--noindex--><noindex><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/crypto-mining.blog\/LINKURL\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWljcm9zb2Z0LmNvbS9lbi11cy9kb3dubG9hZC9kZXRhaWxzLmFzcHg\/aWQ9MzQ1OTU=\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"  target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a><\/noindex><!--\/noindex-->)<\/li><li>Open PreciousGuardian_Config.txt to edit three parameters<ul><li><strong>(1)<\/strong> Scroll down a few lines until you see:<ul><li>_httpd_port=&#8221;420&#8243; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>(roughly line 14)<\/em><\/li><li>Change the number (&#8220;420&#8221;) to be the same port number you used in xmr-stak config.txt<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>(2)<\/strong> Scroll down ~10 lines and find the line that says:<ul><li>_hdiff = &#8220;300&#8221; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>(roughly line 25)<\/em><\/li><li>This is your hash drop trigger (in h\/s).
