# SKN Miner - Lab Client (v1.0.1)

**Changelog:**
- v1.0.1 - colored console output, on by default (ccminer's own built-in
  colors). To turn off, edit `skn-lab-miner.bat` and set
  `COLOR_FLAG=--no-color`.
- v1.0.0 - initial release

For PCs that have **no internet**, only LAN access to a server running
**SKN Stratum Proxy** (see the main Stratum Proxy download on
pool.sinarlink.com/download). This is the piece that goes on the 60 lab
PCs themselves.

## Setup

1. Copy this whole folder (`ccminer.exe` + `skn-lab-miner.bat`) to each lab
   PC, eg. `C:\skn-lab-miner\`. Easiest way for many PCs: put the folder on
   a network share or USB stick and copy it to each machine, or push it
   with whatever imaging/deployment tool the school already uses.
2. Edit `skn-lab-miner.bat` in Notepad - change `PROXY_IP` to the LAN IP
   of the school's proxy server (ask whoever set up SKN Stratum Proxy, or
   run `ipconfig` on that server and look for "IPv4 Address").
3. (Optional) Change `THREADS` - default is 2, kept low so it doesn't slow
   down the PC during class. Raise it if the lab PCs are dedicated/idle.
4. Double-click `skn-lab-miner.bat` to run. A console window opens and
   shows live share activity.
5. **To run automatically on startup**: press `Win+R`, type `shell:startup`,
   press Enter, then drag a shortcut to `skn-lab-miner.bat` into that
   folder.

No VRSC address or internet needed on this PC - the proxy takes care of
the real pool connection under one shared identity. Every PC pointed at
the same proxy shows up as combined hashrate under that one school worker
on pool.sinarlink.com.
