Hi,

1) It's only possible to initiate the connection from Awesome Miner to Remote Agent. It's quite common to setup VPN solutions for these scenarios. In the future, it will also be possible to use the Cloud Services to solve these networking scenarios.

2) You will find the CPU / GPU information on the System tab at the bottom of the screen for the selected miner. This information is always available, even when no API is available or the mining process is stopped

3) The rules doesn't support the concepts of GPU load and Internet connection. The GPU load reported by the system isn't always an accurate way to know if the system is performing well.

If you are running with the profit switcher, you can enable "Ignore pools with no accepted shares" in Options dialog, Profit switching section. Then Awesome Miner will automatically change to another pool in case the first isn't performing as it should. The pool will be marked as failed for the number of miners you have configured, and then it will be used again.

You can have a similar setup with the predefined rule "Accept Progres" in Options dialog, Rules section, where you can take action in case the miner isn't making any process on the hashing or the mining pool is down. In this scenario there are however no way of automatically adding back the first pool once available again.

Yes, it should. So "Start clocking for first algorithm" -> "Stop clocking for first algorithm" -> "Start clocking for second algorithm" should be the work flow for executing the clocking profiles during profit switching.

If you don't make any progress, you could send me the details via mail and let me know the exact time where it failed - and also what the expected behavior was. Thanks!

I think this needs to be investigated via the Remote Agent log file on the computers where you run the mining. It's possible to search for "Executing GPU clocking command" to see what commands Awesome Miner sends to MSI Afterburner.

The closest feature that's available today is the Performance History, where you can export the hashrate (that will be 0 in case the mining isn't working) if all miners for analysis in Excel and similar applications:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/performancehistory.aspx

Having that said, I do agree that it can be useful to see the information you request in an easier way. I've also received similar requests about logging how long a miner has been on a specific pool or algorithm.

The plan is to support some kind of networking over the Cloud Services for Remote Agent in the future. The idea is to make it easier to use than a VPN network. Both Awesome Miner and Remote Agent would connect to the Awesome Miner Cloud Services to exchange information.

Thanks for your feedback!

The MSI Afterburner Remote Server requires .NET Framework 2.0, but it shouldn't be possible to load the icon without (I think). Maybe you can verify this anyway?

Please also check the Windows Event Viewer, in the Application section, if there are any crash messages that would give more details about the problem.

I will start working on the implementation for this mining software today. I've received a number of requests for this mining software, but it wasn't until yesterday an API was made available.

Thanks for your feedback. I will add support for this scenario in either the next release or the release after that.

Awesome Miner doesn't have any support for monitoring of MasterNodes and similar concepts.

However, we do have a very talented user on the forum that developed a plugin to Awesome Miner with support for a number of MasterNodes, although I couldn't find this one in the list:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3047367.0

Good point. I also noticed that some temperature values can be quite difficult to read with the slash as separator.

I will actually go ahead and change to a blank space in the next release.

Currently it's only revenue and not profit. I do however agree that the dashboard should be more flexible and configurable, so you can expect improvements in future versions.

Yes, as soon as they provide a monitoring interface that Awesome Miner can connect to. From what I've seen so far, this isn't available, so there is no way for Awesome Miner to display hashrate and so on.

For the moment you can add it as a Generic Miner in Awesome Miner:

What kind of miners is this? If an External Miner shows as Disconnected, it indicates that the request from Awesome Miner wasn't responded to within 3 seconds. If you have the miners on a remote network or there are other reasons why the miner doesn't respond fast enough, you can increase the timeout.

Please go to the Options dialog, Advanced section and change the "Miner API connection timeout" to a higher number of seconds.

I just picked a random Verge address and tried, and it worked.

Can you see the balance correctly if you open the block explorer in your web browser?
https://verge-blockchain.info

If you have a specific Verge address you want me to try, you can also send it via PM.

Antminers are not accepting #xnsub as part of the Pool URL when sent to them over the management API. For this reason, when you perform a Change/Add pool operation from Awesome Miner, #xnsub will be ignored by the Antminer.

It should however work to define #xnsub as part of the default pools (toolbar: Tools -> Antminer -> Default pools).

Yes, there will soon be a new development release where this one is included.

It's not supported today, but might be in the future. However, you should be able to manually put in the command line for it before/after a miner starts to set the GPU clocking. In the Properties of a Miner, in the Command Line section, you can add any batch commands to execute.

That's unfortunately not possible today, but I agree that this should be supported.

A workaround could be to add it as a Wallet balance in Options dialog, Balance section. If you specify an API URL like this, you can probably add your addresses below:
http://api.blazepool.com/wallet/[address]
Then you can add one or a few addresses in the list below

I had implemented better sorting for many columns on the Balance tab. However, I did notice that when sorting on the 4th column for Coin balance, it still makes the sorting based on the data from 3rd column. I will correct that in the next update.
