Does anyone here run Awesome Miner interface directly on their rigs? Are there any concerns with doing that? I would like to get it off my primary PC since I like to put it to sleep while at work but I also need the ability to access the interface remotely. I might just go with the cloud route eventually but for now just wondering if there are any potential issues running the interface along with the client.
Additionally, is there a process outlined for migrated Awesome Miner itself to another system while retaining all configuration/benchmarks? I saw the message on Export that stated it's not meant as a backup.
The drawback is if the rig is hanging, Awesome Miner may not be able to alert you about that issue if it's running on the same computer. Even with Cloud Services, you still need Awesome Miner running somewhere all the time to push data to the cloud. Awesome Miner stores all configuration in the file ConfigData.xml located in the folder %appdata%\AwesomeMiner. To copy the configuration from one computer to another, make sure that Awesome Miner isn't running and copy the file ConfigData.xml to the other computer. |

Hi guys, Another new Awesome Miner user here, first of all, thanks Patrike for your software! Got my rig up and running, no problem there, just a question about the ‘balance’ tab, i cant find any info or example to fill in. I understand that i need to insert a wallet address (duh) but what is used as ‘label’? My Litecoin address works good, but not my Ethereum and Bitcoin, it shows update failed. Any help is much appreciated, Regards from The Netherlands  Welcome and thanks for your nice feedback. Label is just a description (maybe I should change name of it) that can be anything. It's useful if you have several addresses and want to remember what they are used for. Are you using the default Block Explorer API's that are pre-filled in? That should work for Bitcoin and Ethereum unless your Awesome Miner version is too old. If you have any specific address work, you could send it to me via mail or PM and I can take a look. Thanks! For general information about the balance feature: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinbalance.aspx |

Can we get an upgrade to ccminer 2.2.4 in the next version? It yields a 4-5MH/s increase on my 1080ti. I manually replaced the binary for now but am not sure how to do that for the remote service systems.
The next release will include Ccminer 2.2.4. |

Is it possible to have AM report all GPU temperatures and trigger defined rules on a rig that does not run any miners triggered by AM? The remote AM client is installed on this PC.
I'm trying to setup one rig with nicehash (NOT the pool) as a baseline so that I can compare the earnings of various miners vs nicehash, but trying to leverage all the nice remote monitoring/managing capabilities of the AM.
Basically, I'd like to see GPU temps through AM app and also reboot/restart if GPU temp goes below certain temp on a PC that is only running nicehash.
The rules for temperature only operates on running miners. Although you can still view some GPU information in Awesome Miner without running the mining, the rules doesn't consider that scenario. |

I have found hashrate difference for each of the GPU of about 1-2% between what is see on cloud.awesomeminer monitoring page and ccminer cli text screen (minig x17), managed by remote agent. I do not see this with local awesome miner running and its cloud posted data. So with locally manged process (miners) there is almost no difference, but with Remote Agent managed there is. Please advise why this can happen? something wrong with my setup or there is a reason?
Cloud serivces is displaying the same as you see in Awesome Miner user interface. So if Remote Agent is running the mining, compared to if Awesome Miner main application is doing the mining, there is a 1-2% difference in hashrate? The mining software is launched with the exact same command line arguments in both cases, and you can verify that via the Diagnostics button. Do you have any additional observations around this, because I'm unsure what this could be? |

What's with the Ikarus virus in the installation of Awesome Miner? This test is using the official installation provided on their site.
Trojan.Bodegun
Screenshot results:
Via the VirusTotal website.
Is this due to the type of behavior of the miners or is this an actual infection? Exercise caution.
That's a false positive. If you have this anti-virus software installed, please report it to them. They are not a top 10 vendor and basically the only ones that gives this warning. That alone should be an indication that they do it wrong. I had to file a report to Microsoft a week ago for Windows Defender that incorrectly reported a completely non-mining related Awesome Miner file as a threat. In less than a day Microsoft analyzed the file and concluded that it was clean, and then updated their definition file for Windows Defender to correct the false positive warning. So these things happens sometimes and the only we can do is to let them analyze it and correct it. Awesome Miner has been around for 3.5 years and is trusted by many users - so I have no intent of doing any harm. |

Loving AM so far.
I have a quick question though.
I have some Antminer and GPU rigs offsite, at a place I don't have 24/7 access to, and no access to it's network (They host many other people's rigs for them). How can I monitor these the best way, such as logging in, resetting pools etc.
I'm sure it has something to do with VPN access, but especially the Antminer's, how does this work?? I'd love to be able to monitor everything from my house at multiple sites.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your feedback. VPN is the most secure way, where you could run Awesome Miner from your house and connect to your remote miners just like if they where on your locaton network. From an Awesome Miner point of view, the requirement is only to be able to make a TCP/IP connection to the miners. Any network solution for that will work. General suggestions can be found here: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/remotenetworks.aspx |

If I want to add non profit switching pools, do I need to setup,an alternate miner and use that? If you want to use regular pools, you set up the pool in the Pools tab in the Options. Then setup a regular Managed Miner, not a Profit Miner. Assign the pool to the Managed Miner, and off you go. Also, is there a way to add profit switching pools that aren’t on the official list?
Yes, in a way. You have to setup all the coins/algorithms for your non supported switching pool as individual pools, then put them in a pool group. You can then do profit switching on the pool group. On the Profit Switching tab in options, there is a section for a Custom Pool... you select your newly created pool group. I did this for all the Suprnova pools. I setup all the coins that Supernova support as individual pools, put them in a pool group, and now I can do profit switching on Suprnova even though it's not officially supported in AM. This shows you how flexible AM can be. or how difficult it can be. For the predefined pools, you should be able to click new algorithm, specify a port and be done. it makes no sense to have to type in the url every time since that info is already in the system. Same thing for a custom pool, you should be able to specify once the info and then just add the port for each new one. Its like an exercise in frustration trying to set this up. For the Pools in the Options dialog, there is a Clone button that might help a bit if there is a need to specify many similar pools |

Hello.
ver 4.3.1
Antminer default pool configuration - does not save configuration (Options -> Rules -> Actions -> Antminer default pools)
Thanks for reporting - I've corrected this now. The next release will soon be made available |

Although 4.3.1 by default sets statistics to use 24hrs, if you are getting more often than not erratic switching between algos and you upgraded from previous versions, perhaps checking if you are using current price or 24 hr average price under
Options -> Coins & Profit -> Statistics
using current price tend to have your miners jump between algos more often than you want to. I have mine set at 10min/5% with 24 hr avg price and they would mine for an hour or 2 on average b4 they switch...much much stable since most pools tend to use pplns and I reckon pool hopping too often with low hashrate amateur gpu rigslike mine would do more harm than good to getting paid in revenue.
Thanks Moppidoo, never even looked there, this software is so "WinXP" half the stuff I don't know if its settings for information/display purpose or if it's actually changing something - anyhoooo yes it's on default.  I'm using a ManagedProfitMiner - but with only one "AhashPool" selected so probably doing it wrong - I'm not totally sure if it's the pool doing the switching, or as AM has that pool integrated if it's doing the switching... Thanks for the idea, once I have two identical rigs set up I'll try out your suggestion. (yes was aware of limitations of pplns, hence the trying just one pool for a bit, but thanks for the heads up on that too) AHashPool have a number of pools, where each pool do switching within the same algorithm. Awesome Miner will do switching between all these pools at AHashPool, and change algorithm as well if needed. You previously also had a question on how to see if the profit switcher was selecting the correct pool: To get insight why the profit switcher selects a specific algorithm, right click on the miner and select View Details and go to the Profit switching tab. Please note that these hashrates and profit estimates are based on what is defined in the Profit profile. They may not match the actual hashrate and profit. If they are not matching, please use the Benchmark feature or manually edit the profit profile to ensure they match, otherwise the profit switcher may select a less profitable pool. |

Can you change the it so the awesome miner remember my miner view option(list, compact list or tiles)? Now it is always on compact list, it is kind of annoying to have to change it everyday.
If you have enabled Performance Mode (Options dialog, Advanced section), Awesome Miner will force compact list every time you start the application - simply because it's most performing if you have a very large number of miners. If you don't have a large number of miners, Performance Mode shouldn't be required at all. |

Patrike,
A question... when we upgrade the Awesome Miner application, we can use the GUI to update the remote agent. Where is this agent located? Are the agents pulling the updates from the web? Or is there an MSI on the computer running AM that is buried somewhere?
The reason I ask, is that if I were to bring a new rig online, I'd like a convenient place to grab the current remote agent that matches the version of AM I'm running. I don't always update to the latest version of AM, and while it's never been a problem using a newer version of the remote agent with an older version of AM... you never know.
Right now the Upgrade Remote Agent button in the toolbar will tell the Remote Agent application to download and install the latest software version from the web site. Your point here is good, because if you don't want to use the very latest version, it may not work. The only tested and officially supported installation is to run the same version of Awesome Miner and Remote Agent. I will have to think of an improved concept here. |

Hi guys
Anyone else getting this on 4.3.1 remote agent?
Yes, I did. So I sent it to Microsoft two days ago, where they manually analyze the file and determine if it's a threat or not. The result was of course that it was a false positive and not a threat. Here is the report: http://www.awesomeminer.com/img/link/defender1.pngHopefully the updated definition files for Windows Defender will correct this problem. What is a it strange is that this is just a helper library used by Awesome Miner, but it's not at all related to mining which often is the main trigger for security software. |

Awesome miner not dual mining sia after changing settings.
I initially an amd profit switching profile only mining eth using miningpoolhub. I then changed it to dual mine eth+sia and added -dcri 1 to cli in amd profile. For some reason when I start the miner it refuses to dual mine say, but when benchmarking it dual mines perfectly. I've tried restarting multiple times and also tried deleting the claymore folder so it repopulates but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
I've attached screenshots showing this.
If you right click on the miner and select View Details you will find the profit calculations. What does this one show on the Profit Switching tab? |

Does this software has unlimited lifetime updates per licence ?
I see: A one time cost, including free upgrades to the latest software version.
But if now for example is 1.0 and next updates is 1.1 , 1.2, 1.9... is ok, but when big update is coming like 2.0 ... will get the update ? Some softwares trick by asking new licence when change version.
You always get the latest version of the software for free. A customer who payed for Awesome Miner 1.0 more than 3 years ago can run the latest Awesome Miner 4.3.1 with the same license with no additional license/upgrade cost. |

@patrike
I've noticed a lot of people trying AM due to nicehash issue. These users are looking for a super simple 1 click solution to mining.
Have you thought about a simple version. It could also be a free version which mined for you at 1-2%. Still much better than NH.
Just a thought.
I know you have a LOT of things you want to do with the software, is there a list users can vote or share ideas? Are you on the zpool discord channel?
I appreciate your suggestions here. I agree that there are concepts that can be simplified. However, it shouldn't be super difficult for to get started if you follow a wizard flow like this one: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx#profitsingleHowever, what Nicehash do better is having more predefined parameters and easier to get started when using mixed systems like nVidia + AMD + CPU and so on. If there are any specific changes that could simplify, please let me know. I like the idea of having feature voting. I was thinking of finding something similar to User Voice for it, but I've not really had the time yet. |

i dont remember yesterday, but today it was mining x17 10 minutes, than changed do equihash 10 minutes that was 3rd on the list. Right now it is changing between x17 and c11 so the way it should be i assume
Keep in mind that you have configured a 20% threshold for the switches as well, so what is on top of the list may not always be changed to if it's not profitable enough. |

i dont understand one thing, here is my screenshot of details about algo switch https://i.imgur.com/3Ge0cJi.png , but it keeps jumping from x17 to blake2s (that is almost end of the list), and sometimes it includes neo and equihash to the mix. As far as i understand, it should change from x17 to c11 and back, am i right? if so, what is the issue? If you go to the options, what services do you have enabled under Profit Switching? If it's only Zpool, do you have C11 enabled in your Profit Switching Profile, in Algorithms, and as an entry for Zpool under Online Services? i have zpool, minihpooluhb and nicehash enabled, all algos are enabled. In options i have profit switch thereshold, enable managed profit switching, select btc payout and make predefined pools available everywhere ticked. In your screenshot it indicates X17 on top. Was it mining X17 all the time during this 10 minute period? When you say it jumped to Blake2s, what did the last interval (in the list on the left side in your screenshot) indicate? Which pool/algorithm was on top then? |

Error with lyra2z config mining via profit switching for miningpoolhub.
On default the generated URL is stratum+tcp://lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17025
It's not adding the region part ie. making it stratum+tcp://europe.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17025
I had to manually edit the lyra2z algorithm url part from lyra2z-hub to europe.lyra2z-hub for it to work
A correction for this will soon be released. |
