## Miner Factory
[`MinerFactory`][pyasic.miners.miner_factory.MinerFactory] is the way to create miner types in `pyasic`. The most important method is [`get_miner()`][pyasic.get_miner], which is mapped to [`pyasic.get_miner()`][pyasic.get_miner], and should be used from there.
The instance used for [`pyasic.get_miner()`][pyasic.get_miner] is `pyasic.miner_factory`.
[`MinerFactory`][pyasic.MinerFactory] also keeps a cache, which can be cleared if needed with `pyasic.miner_factory.clear_cached_miners()`.
Finally, there is functionality to get multiple miners without using `asyncio.gather()` explicitly. Use `pyasic.miner_factory.get_multiple_miners()` with a list of IPs as strings to get a list of miner instances. You can also get multiple miners with an `AsyncGenerator` by using `pyasic.miner_factory.get_miner_generator()`.

[`AnyMiner`][pyasic.miners.miner_factory.AnyMiner] is a placeholder type variable used for typing returns of functions.
A function returning [`AnyMiner`][pyasic.miners.miner_factory.AnyMiner] will always return a subclass of [`BaseMiner`][pyasic.miners.BaseMiner],
and is used to specify a function returning some arbitrary type of miner class instance.
