Thanks.

The reason why the SMS limits are quite low is that all users are not interested in the SMS feature, or only configure to use SMS for major issues. Allowing a larger number of SMS messages would force the price per month to be higher for all subscriptions.

What I'm planning is to add a way of buying additional SMS messages, for example 200 at a time. The challenge is that the price of sending SMS messages are different between countries and carriers. Sending messages to US numbers doesn't cost so much, but in many countries in Europe it costs more than ten times as much.

Corrections
  * Corrections to SMTP library to support Office 365 accounts
  * Correction of Block Explorer request for zcash for the Balance feature
  * Adjusted for new hashrate reporting on some algorithms at Nicehash and zpool
  * General improvements and corrections


Important: The Remote Agent must also be upgraded.

Development Previews can be enabled from the Options dialog, General section. Then Menu -> Check for updates. If you need access to the MSI files for manual installation:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMiner.msi
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi

Don't downgrade to version 3.2 once you installed the new development versions.

Is scenario #3 in this guide similar what you are looking for?
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/workername.aspx
To specify "-" for a pool or Nicehash/zcash bitcoin address, and then define the worker name for each miner instead?

Thanks for pointing out the incorrect link in my previous post - I've updated it now. It should be:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi

Are you running v3.2.6 on both Awesome Miner and the Remote Agents? Mixed versions are not supported. If you try the Diagnostics button, do you get any additional information? If not, please send me the log file via mail (toolbar: Tools -> Log file) and indicate the time of the failure.

A Remote Agent should only be controlled by a single Awesome Miner instance. Is there a reason why you have to run two instances of Awesome Miner, one per site?

If you do want two instances, and the second instance is for monitoring only, you could add the miners as External Miners on those.

If you only want basic monitoring to be accessible from anywhere, you do have the web interface as well.

Nice profits! So what happend a week ago was that both Nicehash and zpool changed their unit of reporting (MH/s vs GH/s) for some of their algorithms. And their API's doesn't specify any unit, so Awesome Miner had to be updated to adjust for these changes.

The latest development release already contains a correction for this.

When you wrote the above, I had already updated the pricing for the Cloud Services. Everything is listed with per month prices as well to make it easier to compare. And you do have the option to go for billing annually or billing monthly. So thanks for your input - it has already been taken into consideration.

Thanks for the feedback. The feature is at the moment only testing what's inside your profit profile, but the plan is to improve the benchmark based on user feedback. The infrastructure for doing benchmarking is in place, so it's just a matter of figuring out all the scenarios that would make sense to support.

Thanks for the feedback - it's appreciated. The reason why I started with a 1 year subscription is that if I make it 1 month and consider the smallest subscription, it will be about $4 per month and then the credit card processing fee on that makes it less attractive.

I do have some ideas around supporting both 1 month and 1 year subscriptions, but then having the 1 month version a little more expensive. So if you pay per year, it becomes $4 per month while if you pay per month it will be $5 per month (example prices).

The final pricing structure is still being defined, but I wanted to give the community here an idea about what the subscriptions will contain. There will be some changes, although not major, to what you see right now.

Right now you also see that Professional is the smallest subscription, so there is nothing that compares to Standard yet. That might also be added later on.

So in the Properties for the Managed Host, when you check the connection you get this failure? Have you made sure that you don't have multiple Managed Hosts pointing to the same remote computer? Also, even if you can ping the remote computer, you may have some firewall that blocks the connection on port 9630.

When you say that Awesome Miner is restarting Claymore on the remote computer, then it still sounds like some connection is working. Or do the miners show up with "Service offline" as their status?

The complexity here, which is also the reason why it fails when you manually try this from Windows startup, is that the MSI Afterburner Remote Server (and their UI app) must be running as Administrator. This is fully possible to do with some configuration using Task Scheduler, and that's what Awesome Miner is trying to setup. A stanard Startup-folder solution is not working. It would be great if the Afterburner software had built-in support for auto-starting properly, but that isn't available.

The username you specified in the Options dialog of Awesome Miner must be the same username you are logged on to on the remote computer where you run your mining and Awesome Miner Remote Agent. It shouldn't be some other account like the Administrator. You probably checked this already, but I just want to confirm. I've also updated the guide on the web site about these settings in the Options dialog:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/gpuclocking.aspx

What you can look at on the remote computer is the log file for Awesome Miner Remote Agent, that can be accessed if you right-click on the icon and select Log File. Look for "Setting MSI Remote Server path" and then it should say Register Task successful or failed.

Many thanks! The profiles are based on the existing Afterburner integration, and will also require Premium Edition.

Preliminary information about the Cloud Services can be found on this page:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/cloud.aspx

There are no changes to Afterburner autostart in any of the development versions. Can you clear the settings in the Options dialog, MSI Afterburner section, for:
Auto start path
Username
Password
Then click OK. Then you go back and fill in those 3 fields again. Are the settings applied?

I'm posting a few screenshot of what's in the development pipeline right now. All these features will be included in the next development version, planned to be available within the next few days.

GPU benchmarking




GPU clocking profiles - Set GPU clock and fan speeds when a miner starts and/or stops, using the existing Afterburner integration to work independently of mining software being used.






Awesome Miner Cloud Services - The web interface running in the cloud, with SMS support. Awesome Miner can push all mining statistics to the cloud server, and then you can access it from any Internet connected device without any VPN's or firewall configurations.

For WTM, yes. One exception is Digibyte that still will require some more work to support this way, as it has so many sub algorithms for the same coin.

In the latest development versions, you can define custom URL's in Options dialog, Statistics section.

Profit switching is more popular for GPU mining, because the wide range of algorithms and frequent changes on what's most profitable. For ASIC mining, most people simply just use Nicehash and a few more pools as you do, without any profit switching enabled.

Awesome Miner can do profit switching for ASIC's as well, using the External Profit Switching feature is enabled and the Antminer is in Privileged API mode. In this scenario, Awesome Miner will simply set the pool priority of the pools you already have defined, so if zpool becomes more profitable than Nicehash, Awesome Miner can instruct your Antminer to prioritize zpool instead.

Awesome Miner must be running on a Windows computer - either on the same network as your miners or remote (at your home location) over a VPN connection. You use the Awesome Miner application to setup everything and then you also have the option to use the web interface if you want to access monitoring information and do basic operations from any laptop or smartphone.

Antminer L3+ is already supported and quite popular to use together with Awesome Miner.

Antminer D3 will probably work out of the box, but it needs to be confirmed once people are getting their D3's.

I will write a small guide for that feature today or tomorrow, where you can compare with your configuration. You need two separate User defined rules for this. One of the triggers in each.

Thanks for your interest in Awesome Miner. You can contact me by e-mail as well (info [at] awesomeminer.com).
