I re-installed and started over, when I run diagnostics I see that automatic downloads are being located in root/.config/AwesomeMinerService
Is that correct?
Thanks for your questions. That's the top level folder where mining software should be downloaded. To take Nanominer as an example, it should end up in a folder similar to: /root/.config/AwesomeMinerService/nanominer-linux-1.2.4.tar_1/nanominer-linux-1.2.4/ Can you please verify if the nanominer executable can be found here? |

hello patrike
there's a bug with PhoenixMiner & AMD GPUs in all the latest AM versions. if both ProgPoW and Eth algos are enabled, AM adds both Eth and ProgPoW pools to PhoenixMiner's epools.txt config file. that is wrong.
if the Eth pool goes down for some reason - PhoenixMiner switches to the next pool which uses ProgPoW algo, it happens even if ProgPoW is not profitable at all at the moment.
after that AM does not understand that the miner had already switched to a ProgPoW pool, and shows the profit estimates from the Eth pool using ProgPoW hashrates.
when creating the epools.txt file, AM should add only the pool that is on the top of the profit switching list, that is how I see the correct solution.
thank you
Hi, I will make a change to only add the most profitable pool for this scenario. Thanks! |

Hi Patrike,
in addition to several GPU miners are available for Argon2D + variants, is there any way to map multi algo coins such as XMY more effectively since they all share the same ticker (short name)?
eg. Myriad_Argon2d from Coincalculators is determined by AM as Argon2d-DYN, but the coin itself is actually using Argon2d4096
Just mapping XMY to the right algo results in AM mapping the yescrypt variant instead of the Argon2D.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
I understand your point here. Today the algorithm override mapping that can be used to correct the algorithm of a coin from a provider only looks as the coin name as you noticed. I will make an update for this quite soon, so allow you to specify a specific algorithm to map from. |
|
|
|
CryptoDredge v0.19.0
New Argon2d (250/4096) algorithms
Improve MTP algorithm
Improve CryptonightGPU and CryptoNight-like algorithms
Remove obsolete algorithms
Other minor fixes
and according to discord, removed algorithms are as follows for quick reference: C11, CryptoNightFast, CryptoNightSuperFast, CryptoNightV7, Dedal and PHI1612 Thanks for the update and details - there will soon be a new release with this update |
|

Suggestion:
Is it possible to add the option to display the balances in the WEBGUI dashboard?
Thanks for the suggestion. I do know the web interface is a bit limited in terms of features today, but the plan is to continue adding more features in the future. Balance would also make sense to add. |

Thx for the update !! - Ill find the remote agent and set it as admin
- SRBMiner :
- Over the last few version Dok has made the miner independant of any additonal file, pretty much all configs can be run via the cli, Also makes for a leaner setup without any additonal config.txt, pool.txt etc, instead of modifying each config.txt for each algo in awesome miner
 - The miner api also support HW errors reporting per GPU, which is currently unmapped in awesome miner xml
- New coin provider :
- As for the provider, i dint mean a new provider as such, i meant setting up the "User defined coin" to use a coincalculator.io json which isnt in the main list of coincalculator.io api
- eg. awesome miner defined coins like "zumy", "conceal" are not in the main coincalc.io json response, but adding them as additonal json, automatically picks up the stats
- eg. user defined coins like "mox", have additional coincalc.io json, but are not read form them even though they are added as additional json, the diff, block reward, time json data needs to be manually configured, even though awesome miner has the coincalc.io json response template and can easily map the values on it own !!
SrbMiner - Awesome Miner isn't adding too much configuration in config.txt, so for most settings you should be able to just add command line parameters. Was it a specific scenario or parameter that isn't possible to add this way when the configuration file is present? I will look into the HW error API property. Coin provider - As you probably know already, in the Options dialog, Statistics Provider section, you can add the non-main coins for WhatToMine and CoinCalculators. You can paste the URL to the JSON file for CoinCalculators here for example. Is it only Mox that isn't working? When I add the following URL, it loads all coin data correctly: https://www.coincalculators.io/api.aspx?name=moxI do see Mox in the Coins tab after adding this, and it includes difficulty, block reward and everything else. |

Question : How do i run the miner instance as admin?
Request :
1. New user defined coins provider could be mapped to additonal json(coincalc or whatomine etc) as a coin provider instead of goin fully custom and mapping each parameter individually. Currently only awesome miner supported coins can be mapped to the additional json.
2. Switch SRBMiner to cli instead of config.txt
Today the mining software will run as the same user as Awesome Miner / Remote Agent. Running for example Remote Agent as Admin will result in that the mining process (SrbMiner) also will run as Admin. A side note: Right now I'm implementing support for running native overclocking features as administrator, as this is requires for some clocking parameters on the very latest nVidia drivers. Once that is completed I will also look into launching specific mining software as admin - without having to run Remote Agent as admin. Thanks for the requests and suggestions as well 1) In this case it might be easier if Awesome Miner provided support for this new coin statistics provider right away. It will be quite some work to give full flexibility for the user to define a new provider. 2) In most cases Awesome Miner uses the CLI for mining software as it's much easier for the users to override parameters. Config files are only used if the CLI isn't providing all parameters required. In the case of SrbMiner, isn't the config file always required? Or is your point that it should simply be empty and that would make it possible to use the command line instead? |

Hello again PAtrike. You already know that in your day I asked you notes on the coins. Notes that are different from the pool. That's fine.
In those notes in the Coins tab I add texts about the currency in question, whether I'm interested or not and why, and those that I'm not interested in low-profit to lose sight of above.
It would be possible to incorporate in Tabs Coins a search engine that only searches in the notes of coins? so I can look for certain coins to which I put a text or a specific word, it will facilitate the work.
As always it is optional and under your decision. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the suggestion - it's noted. |

Hi,
Can you modify CryptoNight UPX algorithm to CryptoNight UPX2 ? I need it for Uplexa coin
Thanks,
Vlad
I use the old name, what difference does it make to mining? I'm mining it with TRM. I will add CryptoNight UPX2 as a predefined algorithm in the next update. It's also possible to manually add algorithms by following step 1, 2 and 3 here: https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000086025-add-a-new-algorithmFor SrbMiner there are currently both "upx" and "upx2" as algorithm names. |

Version 6.3.5 (Development preview of 6.4) Features - New trigger for GPU power usage - Native overclocking feature includes support for setting voltage limit for nVidia and memory voltage for AMD Integration - Added additional Mining Pool Hub pools and made the API processing more robust - Added more algorithms for the WhatToMine integration - Allow change of the pool ports for the predefined online services Mining software - Miniz Miner 1.3n3 - SrbMiner 1.8.7 - Bminer 15.2.2 - Gminer 1.40 - TeamRedMiner 0.4.5 - Nanominer 1.2.4 Corrections - Correction to the caching for the dynamic update of coin properties - Correction to Claymore Ethereum miner API processing - Correction to coins per day calculation for the profit switcher when using the network hashrate formula in combination with a low network hashrate To get access to development versions, open the Options dialog in Awesome Miner. In the General section, enable Check for development versions. Then go to the Menu and click Check for updates. Direct download links if needed: https://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMiner.msihttps://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi Good update, a suggestion. I could add edit BULK in all the OC profiles or in the selected ones. I have more than 100 and if I have to put or remove automatic fan, I have to go one by one. If I have to change the voltage at 30, I have to go one by one. Now the power to modify the voltage will surely amplify my OC profiles much more, it is not the same for all the 1080ti, that the 1070 or 1060 are not equal in voltage issue. For that, a Bulk option helps to go faster in the OC profile editing Good point. You are correct about the bulk edit concept. It should be made easier to add or remove properties in general, but also making these changes to many profiles at once. There will be at least one more update to the clocking features within the next few days, but after that I will look into making the configuration more user friendly. Thanks! |

DLL detected by AV as virus inside the %temp% folder. The miner is not used for mining in this pc, it is used to monitor another remote node. Im ok with exlcuding a folder in AV for awesome miner, but y is this in the %temp% path? Dll list: - ehokahrd.dll
- cz1kbcwg.dll
- veochfjs.dll
- 2dssckxt.dll
- jjncdwlh.dll
- cygfd1rd.dll
All files detected as RiskTool.MSIL.BitcoinMiner.gen and are shown to be in use by awesome miner. It's quite common for security software to give warnings about mining related tools. Awesome Miner is downloading mining software to %appdata%\AwesomeMinerService or %localappdata%\AwesomeMiner. These two folders can be added as exceptions. Awesome Miner also uses dynamic C# scripting, for example for the dynamic update of coin properties. This scripting feature may result in small dll-files being automatically generated in the temp-folder so it might be those files you see here. These files are however not at all related to mining and this is the first time I get a report that security software would flag these files. I can investigate if the auto generation could be made to a different folder as well. Thx dude !! I'm ok with marking awesome miner specific folders Currently exlcuded: Install location Appdata Now that you mention dynamic coin prop update it did pop up after i re-configured some coins for incorrect data a few days back. Never has the report for last 1 year. Would be nice to have those dll in a safe to exlcude folder. Excluding the %temp% seems like a surefire way to get hit by virus !! I've just implemented a change where no more DLL-files will be created for the C# scripting feature and the temporary files still required for the scripting will be located in %localappdata%\AwesomeMiner. The changes will be included in the next release. The result will be no more DLL-files and no more C# scripting related files in the %temp% folder. I completely agree with your point that %temp% folder shouldn't be an exception for the security software. Thanks for finding this. |

At the moment this problem of the OC and temperatures is causing me great problems. there are already two RIGs, the rig of the RTX there is a card, which is more in the background that even reaches 87 and turn off the miner in security.
But I start observing the FAns in GPU, and I see that suddenly I'm at 84 and fans are lowered to 65% because it has picked up the temperature of another card, according to my rules at 84 degrees it would go to 90% fan, and repende is lowered to 65%, because that card reaches the maximum temperature of 87 and turns off the miner.
I hope you have a solution or I will have to drive MSI aftherburner again. But I really like this native solution. You should only take the value of the hottest card in the RIG and do not go changing card reading
At the same time I'm going to have to leave the fixed fans something I do not want, but of course it's a big mistake that I take the temperature data from different cards, so it can not be efficient.
Please, if you are not going to fix it, tell me already and I will change to the old system with Aftherburner or a fixed fan.
One of the two is wrong. Right now, like this one, you do not look at just one card, you look at all of them. Then a card, the hottest one that should be sent, is activated at 90% fan at 80 degrees, but now it turns out that another card of the same rig reaches 75 degrees and I lower the fans to 70% .. Is it more important to reduce 75 degrees or reduce 80 degrees? Therefore the concept of temperature for a rig, should take into account only 1 card, the hottest. Because the change of speed is applied to ALL THE RIG. If the speed of the fans was independent by card, his vision would be accurate, but as it is not so, it is wrong. I suppose I could use Atherburner only for the fans, its solution to put rules that jump at different temperatures is not valid. It can not be that I have a card at 84 degrees that would correspond to 100% of FAN, and suddenly because another card of the rig reaches 75 degrees, I lower all the rig to 75% of Fan. Obviously the card that is in 84 degrees will rise and to 86 I turn the miner to avoid problems of breakage by temperature. Here there are only 3 solutions: 1- that the rules affect each card independently, it would be very good. 2 - Always take the value of the hottest card, this would be the optimal point, that always in the rules send the FAN the card with the highest temperature. This would be the best solution and faster in programming. 3.- re-use Aftherbuner at the same time as the native, only to control the fans. You understand that as it is now, even with rules, if I have not activated the heat protection rule, I could have damaged cards. I like your native OC a lot, but the temperature should send the card with more heat, whatever it is inside the rig, and just follow that. If suddenly another card in the same rig exceeds the previous one in temperature, then that new card is the one that would take control of the entire RIG. TAl as it is now, yesterday I skipped the rigs every few minutes and they stopped. I could not give credit to my eyes, to see cards at 84 degrees to 100% and suddenly went down to 65% because another card had reached the goal of a rule and applied to the whole rig, that does not matter as you explain it But it's not good. You give a greater control of fan as aftherburner or you guide by the card of more temperature of the rig, because if not, cards of those people who do not have rules of stopping the miner can be broken if it reaches 86 degrees as I have. This kind of situations did not happen with the complete solution of aftherburner, although the connection with the main program is very bad, so I will use the native and I will see that I think so, use a fan speed curve in aftherburner, but this is already ahead of time It will be a problem for many as soon as the heat arrives. The Device Temperature trigger is currently looking for the GPU with the highest temperature. If your trigger condition is 80 degrees, it will trigger as soon one of the GPU's hit this level. Any action will be performed on the miner itself. If you have multiple Device Temperature triggers and two of them have met the conditions at the same time - there are no concept where Awesome Miner makes a guess which one of you actions that would make most sense to run - it will simply run the defined actions. I think what you are asking for is basically a more specialized way to setup the clocking based on conditions, and the rules are very generic purpose way of doing operations and may not be refined enough for this level of per-device control. As pointed out earlier, making the rules more device-aware could be a way forward in the future. Update: Please also see my answer below that is a bit more solution-oriented. You understand but half. If AM only takes the value of the hottest card, whatever is inside the rig, problem solved. You know it but you do not say it. But right now I do not care anymore. The fan control system in AM does not work well and works perfectly Aftherburner, I do not change anymore. I stay with Aftherburner for the fans, since it takes into account each card by independent and can be curved. I tried to emulate the curve with rules, but as any card triggers contrary rules, it is a disaster. To me now if it fixes or I do not care, I will not use it anymore. Fan control only by aftherburner. I appreciate the feedback, but there is no need for this attitude. I'm very well aware of that if rules in Awesome Miner execute the actions on a miner level, not for a specific device. That was exactly my point above - to explain how the rules works today and why it's not a perfect fit for this scenario. So I do acknowledge that for the scenario you describe, the rules concepts are not yet good enough. This was also why I referred to my second post that included a proposed solution to be developed. I just tried a rig with native OC + aftherburner for the fans and it's another world. The much lower temperatures.
The temperature change is such that now I can increase the OC, because the temperatures are very low.
It has to improve the temperature system of native OC. I already happened to Aftherburner to control the fans. We are talking about almost 10 degrees less per card with a car curve in Aftherburner.
Is this with the "Automatic fan control properties" in the Properties dialog of MSI Afterburner? I think this is a pure software periodic check for temperature that set a fan speed based on the curve - without being a feature in the nVidia drivers itself. Defining a high fan speed here will of course result in a lower temperature. Awesome Miner can probably be extended do something similar. The question is where it should be applied. If it isn't a feature of the nVidia drivers, Awesome Miner would have to check for the temperature all the time and compare it what you defined in your profile. A specific GPU is however not linked to a clocking profile, as you can apply any clocking profile to a miner while it's running. So there needs to be a new concept of last applied profile. But what if you apply a clocking profile to a miner where the new profile no longer have any fan/temperature curve? It's getting complex quite fast here. I see that MSI Afterburner only do this fan control on a global level, completely outside their profile concept. That's a quite easy approach but may not be flexible enough if you run a mix of GPU's where you want different fan/temperature settings. A solution somewhere in between would be to introduce a new rule action that you can schedule to run every 15 seconds, where the action will apply different fan speed settings per GPU depending on a fan/temp curve (or table) you define in the rule. That would be a solution outside the clocking profile concept, but maybe easier to both implement and configure. Please do not say those things. With aftherburner takes the independent temperature of each card and increases or decreases the fan for each graphics card. So if one is hotter the fan will go faster but if one is cooler, the fan does not turn up. In the end it is less extress for the fans, less noise and a much more exhaustive control. It does not have to go faster The problem in AM is that a card reaches 83 it gets ALL the RIG to 100% of fans although it is not necessary, but then suddenly one of the cards reaches 75, or 70 degrees and makes the speed drop to 70% but there is a card at 84 degrees that will reach 86 and stop the rig. Aftherburner does not make the fans go faster, gives each card the amount of fan it needs, independently of one another within the same rig, something that AM can not do and I do not care as I do or do not. I think Aftherburner gives a control precision that is going to be very difficult for you to equalize. I always appreciate all your work and I am always grateful to you, but I think you should recommend Aftherburner to the users and leave the fan control for aftherburner. And I repeat, the fans are not faster, and in some cards I have dropped to 10 degrees, in others the normal is from 4 to 7 degrees, and each card at a speed automatically dispends according to my curve. Do not try to discredit Aftherburner by saying that it will go faster, it goes fast on the card you need, on the others you do not. The future solution I was considering for Awesome Miner above was the following (not yet supported): "...apply different fan speed settings per GPU depending on a fan/temp curve (or table) you define in the rule". Isn't that exactly what MSI Afterburner do? Per-GPU control of fan speed based on monitoring of the temperature for each individual GPU. If Awesome Miner would apply per-GPU control of fan speed based on a fan/temperature curve/table like MSI Afterburner do, the result should be the same. Some GPU's will have lower fan speed while other GPU's will have higher fan speed - depending on temperature. Just to make it very clear again, Awesome Miner cannot do this today - all I'm discussing here is a new feature to address your initial request. If a GPU runs at a specific clock, voltage, power limit and fan speed - shouldn't the temperature be the same no matter if Awesome Miner or MSI Afterburner set those parameters? If the mining software/algorithm, clock, voltage and power limit remains the same, isn't it mainly the fan speed that will impact the temperature of a GPU? So reducing GPU temperature is a matter of fan speed control (= higher fan speed for some GPU's) at this point. So let's work together on making the new per-GPU control of fan speed based on temperature (using a curve/table) a good new feature! Thanks! |

I second this, would really love to have this on Awesome Miner. please put it on your To-Do List Patrick, all new firmware for s9 and later gears have these LPM and Enhanced LPM ( more power saving ), it is very useful to have an auto-switch between these two, for those who have different power rate at peak hours, it would also be great for miners who mine in a hot region like myself, where i might need to set all my gears to Enhanced LPM during noon/afternoon time and to switch back to LPM automatically. Thanks for the suggestions. Based on what I can see in the linked thread, I assume this is only a matter of executing an SSH command on the Antminer? Awesome Miner can do that via the rules already today. Any SSH commands can be sent to an ASIC miner. You can for example have one rule that triggers at 11 AM and send one SSH command to set Enhanced LPM and another rule that triggers at 4 PM that send the SSH command to set LPM. The concept should be similar to "Example: Run GPU mining during a specific time", but instead of the action that will start/stop the miner, you would use the "SSH Command" action to execute the command to set LPM or ELPM. https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000085907-rules-detect-mining-issues-and-automate-tasksIf this solution works fine I can also add it as a separate example in the documentation. |

Thanks for your nice feedback! This command line (--no-watchdog) is only added automatically for software based on CryptoDredge. Please try to select CcMiner instead and it shouldn't be added. |
