Don't know if you've seen this yet but Cast XMR now has an API!

Any ETA for supporting XMR-Stak's new unified version?  That's pretty much all I'm running these days.  I so desperately want to use Awesome Miner and XMR-Stak that I'm considering writing an adapter program to emulate Claymore so I can feed XMR-Stak's data back to Awesome Miner.  But I don't want to invest that time if support for XMR-Stak will be coming in the next month or two.

I have this written and running well.

Please elaborate.

I threw together a quick app last night to emulate a Claymore API to serve as a bridge between AM and XMR-Stak.  Was quite easy actually and I think will work well enough for now.  It's pretty cool to control XMR-Stak and see hash rates and profit show up in AM.  I would like to also do the same for Cast XMR but I can't find any way to get hash rates out of it.
Same, just what you did there except I used the CCminer API.


Have you had any issues with Stak locking up during GPU initialization (usually on device 0)?  This seems to happen if you restart Stak too quickly after it was running.

I found a workaround for AM not being able to launch XMR-Stak due to the elevated permissions requirements.  Need to set local group policy Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options -> User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode to Disabled.  I don't like having to do that as it apparently weakens security but at least it works now.  Hopefully the Stak devs can find a permanent code fix.

I have all implementation for connecting to it as an External Miner ready, but it's currently hidden.

For the moment I have given up on adding support for it as a Managed Miner because this mining software do so many strange things, for example:
- It requires running as Administrator, which creates all sorts of problems when you want to auto start it or launch it from another applications. It's probably the first mining software ever that has this behavior.
- It doesn't simply auto detect devices like other mining software. It looks like it tries to detect the first time and then update the configuration file, but it would be too complex for Awesome Miner to know if it will work or now. I can just imagine all the support question I will get around how this software handles its configuration file and prompting the user for input on the command line when something is missing.

Even if I only support it as an External Miner, you could still add your own Managed Software, point to the XMR-Stak for API compatibility and then create a Managed Miner for this where you point to your xmr-stak.exe file. As long as Awesome Miner is running as Administrator (or you have some configuration of Windows to bypass this), it will behave like any other Managed Miner - but you are in charge of all configuration yourself.

Any thoughts on how to get the AM Remote to be able to launch xmr-stak because of the elevated permissions issue?    That is the only thing holding me back from getting this all working.  I thought I had it working by having AM launch my adapter app and the app then launches XMR-Stak and that does work but the problem is when I stop the miner in AM it only shuts down my app and not XMR-Stak as well.  

If I'm not mistaken this XMR mining pool has a nice how to on how to set up XMR-Stak miner or Sgminer and use it with Windows, it tells you how to set up Group Policity's in windows 10 ... not sure if this is what you mean or are looking for .

I mine XMR with my GPU's from time to time.

 https://www.usxmrpool.com/#easy_mining_guide

This might help some I hate UAC i mean i  hate it and have it completely off Disabling it Through Group Policy's with no side effects ... with a clean install of Windows 10 Work station Pro.

Thanks for the info.  I already had the "lock pages in memory" user added and UAC is off.

What is the difference between the "path" setting in the Managed Miner mining engine section vs. the "Specify mining software exe-file" in the Command line section?

Has anyone gotten castXMR working on an SSL server on port 443? I haven't had success yet. What's the connection string for supportXMR, for example?

PLEASE add an API ASAP!

I'm trying to set up my own monitoring solution using a .NET app I wrote that launches Cast and redirects the stdout and stderr to my app so that I can parse the text Cast spits out.  But I'm not getting the console output from Cast and I can't figure out why.
or at least log to a file option...

Just run "castxmr.exe > log.txt". It'll redirect stdout to a file. Monitor it however you like. Done.



I tried that but nothing gets written to the file until you quit Cast.  I wonder if that's related to the reason when I try to redirect stdout when I launch Cast from a .NET app I also don't get any output?  This would be so easy if I could just get Cast's output in real time.  As it stands right now I have absolutely no way to get data out of Cast.  The only other thing I can think of is try pipes but I suspect I will have the same issue.

The real solution anyway is a proper API.

You are correct a redirect such as "castxmr.exe > log.txt" only write to file on exit.

Only way I can think of to do what you are wanting is an OCR running over the window


Yeah I haven't figured out how to do that yet.  I may have to stick with XMR Stak for now, at least it has an API.

I did a little research and it seems that when Windows apps write to stdout on the console it's line-buffered and when they write to a stream/file they use a larger buffer (looks like a couple kB).  I PM'd Gandalph to see if he'd publish a tweaked build with a few flush() commands in there.  Once he does that we can scrape the output and wrap it with a GUI/websvc.


I've been looking for some way to just scrape the output window but am coming up empty.  Really sucks that the two best CryptoNight miners around right now are lacking in monitoring support (Cast has no API at all and XMR-Stak has an API but it's not supported by Awesome Miner and doesn't do fan speeds and temperatures).  Come on guys, step it up.

I don't mind managing the configuration myself, the main thing is I want to be able to start/stop the miner and get hash rate and coin profit.
I can make the feature available within the next 1 - 2 days.

That would be amazing, thanks, I'll certainly keep an eye out for it and will check it out.

I do have XMR-Stak compiling so it should be a fairly simple matter of adding a compatible API to it.  I'm starting off simple for now though, I've mocked up a .NET app that listens on a TCP port and I'm getting the API request from Awesome Miner so this should be a relatively simple matter of making my app launch the miner and get data out of it and return it to Awesome Miner.

is this only for nicehash?

 No - but unlike Stak-XMR it DOES WORK with Nicehash.


Stak works just fine with NiceHash, but I'm using the new integrated version if that matters.

 I tried to get Stak to work with Nicehash - nothing but stratum errors, and as of last week when I was trying to work with it the dev STATED that something in Nicehash stratum was broke (or nonstandard) and he wasn't sure if he was GOING to make Stak work with it.

 No idea what you mean by "new integrated version".

 Stak CPU version works fine with Nicehash, oddly enough - dunno why it would be different for the CPU version and the 2 GPU versions.



The integrated (unified) version combines CPU, NVidia, and AMD into one program.

Hi All,
I am running a 6 x Gigabyte Vega 56 rig on following setup:
   - motherboard = Asrock H97 Anniversary
   - CPU = Intel G3258
   - Ram = 8gb
   - Windows10 Pro, Blockchain 23 aug drivers
   - stock bios, oc and uv with OverdriveNTool

Here is a picture of my settings:


I use Cast to mine ETN and I cannot manage to run all 6 cards.
I works like a charm with 5 cards, at avg. of 1950 h/s, and when I enable the 6th everything goes crazy - artifacts and freeze/restart.

I am running out of ideas, any thoughts how to make the 6th card work?
I was thinking of incompatibility issues between vega and my mobo, could that be the case?

Thanks in advance
Pericle.
  

Run all cards at stock settings to see if that fixes the problem.  I added another Vega this week and applied the same OC settings as my other cards and it had all kinds of problems until I tried running it with stock settings.

I routinely have at least 15-20% lower reported hash rate on hashparty than I do on .space pool.  Plus it's down about 5 times day, at least the web front-end is.

.space pool is having a run of bad luck, half the number of expected blocks in the last 6 hours.  I suspect something is wrong.

Why isn't there one good ETN pool?

That's great news, I had a monitoring app all mocked up in .NET ready to go and then I hit this flushing issue, stopping me cold.

This coin is still not so popular, but great team and a lot of work is being done.

What great team?  Is there a link?
