Pool Configuration

Overview

OptiFleet's intelligent pool management system operates on three levels:

Administrative Control: Define which pools and worker accounts are permitted
Configuration Templates: Create standardized settings for different mining scenarios
Automated Enforcement: Continuously monitor and correct pool configurations

This layered approach ensures your mining operation always directs hashpower to approved destinations while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to changing business requirements.

Key Business Benefits:

Enhanced Security: Prevents unauthorized pool changes and malicious redirects
Operational Consistency: Ensures all miners use approved pools and accounts
Reduced Human Error: Eliminates manual configuration mistakes
Compliance Control: Maintains audit trails for client requirements
Faster Recovery: Quickly restore settings after miner repairs or maintenance

Permissions:

Facility Technicians: Can apply pool configurations but cannot create or modify them
Facility Admins: Have full access to create, modify, and deploy pool configurations

Allowed Pools and Sub Accounts

Pool configuration settings can be found by navigating to Management > Sites > select the site you want to configure > Pool Config tab

Managing Pool URLs

Step 1: In the Pool Config tab, choose the Allowed Pools and Accounts in the top right corner.

Step 2: In Allowed Pools and Subccounts, click Add Pool. Enter the selected Pool URL and verify that it correct.

Step 3: Remove unused pools by clicking the trash can icon

Managing SubAccounts

Step 1: In Allowed Pools and Subccounts, click Add Subaccount

Step 2: Enter the subaccount name

Step 3: Remove unused subaccounts using the trash can icon

⚠️ Important: Pools and sub accounts currently in use by any miner (even offline miners) cannot be deleted. The system will display an error message if you attempt this action.

To delete these you will need to remove the pool config from any miners containing that pool URL. You could do this in the miner list by search on the pool URL fields, and pushing updated configs to those miners.

Best practices:

Organize subaccounts by location so you can track pool performance by location. You may also want to use subcustomers or other critical data in your subaccount naming .
Review and validate Allowed Pools and Accounts regularly.

Creating Standardized Pool Configurations

Build reusable configuration templates that ensure consistency across your mining fleet and simplify deployment processes.

Step 1: Click Add Pool Configuration

Step 2: Enter a descriptive name for your configuration. Use clear naming conventions to make configs easy to manage and deploy

Step 3: Select from your approved pool URLs to provide primary and backup pools:

Pool 1: Primary mining destination
Pool 2: Failover destination
Pool 3: Secondary failover

Step 4: Assign subaccounts by selecting from your approved list

Step 5: Configure the worker template to create a unique identifier for each worker in the target pool. Select a worker template type:

Miner ID
Serial #
Model Name
IP Address
Asset ID
Custom

Step 6: Enable auto pooling for security enforcement, if desired. (Recommended.)

Check the box next to Force any pool not on config to the standard settings
This automatically corrects miners that drift from approved settings
Prevents manual changes outside of OptiFleet from compromising your configuration

Step 7: Save your configuration for immediate use

Applying Pool Configurations to Miners

Method 1: Bulk Assignment via Miner List

This method allows you to configure multiple miners simultaneously, making it ideal for large-scale deployments or routine maintenance.

Step 1: Select Your Target Miners

Navigate to the Miner List
Identify the miners you want to apply pool configs to
You can use filters to create a target list. Select individual miners by checking the box next to each miner's name.

Step 2: Configure Miners

Once the miners are selected, click on the Actions menu and select Configure Pools
A configuration window will appear with available pool options
Choose your desired pool configuration from the dropdown list of available pool configs
Review the settings to make sure they are as expected
Click Save to deploy the configuration

Step 3: Verify Deployment

The system will push the selected configuration to all chosen miners
Pool locking will be automatically enabled to enforce approved pools
Most miners will apply these changes without requiring a reboot, minimizing operational downtime

Method 2: Individual Miner Configuration

For targeted configuration of specific miners, you can apply pool settings directly from a individual miner daashboard.

Step 1: Open the specific miner's detail page from the miner list, issues list or site map

Step 2: Click on the Actions menu > Configure Pools

Step 3: Select and apply the desired pool configuration by selecting from the dropdown menu. Use the Manage Pools link if you need to add or adjust pool configs.
