Patrike, After the latest update, on the Coins tab, when I select the AMD GPU profile, it shows that I can make millions of dollars from a few mBTC. While I wish that were true, it's obviously not.  What do we need to do to fix it? Are you using the default option to get statistics from WhatToMine or do you have Coinwarz configured? For WhatToMine everything looks fine here. Do you have an example of coin or algorithm that is incorrect? Yes, I'm only using the default WhatToMine option. It seems to be Equihash and Cryptonight coins on my end. Click Edit on the AMD profile. For these algorithms where I assume you have put in your custom hashrate. Does it really say H/s for Equihash, and not MH/s? |

I really like the recent updates, looks like your really starting to polish up the software for the community, but i have a few questions...
Is there anyway you can add 2 miner software to the list to use... 98% of my rigs use these well known miners for the Nvidia cards...i tested using your built in ccminersp version, but i only get 70-80% of the hashrates i get on alexis1.0, and i tried linking to alexis to force using it, but then i loose the ability to mine the half of coins that alexis miner doesnt support that ccminer-x64 does well... if you need them i can give you the miners
1) ccminerAlexis1.0 also called ccminerAlexis78 * this is the most used miner for pascal cards on altcoins
2) ccminer-x64 also called ccminerCuda 2.0 * this miner is always updating with the niche coins that Alexis miner doesnt tailor to....
In regards to the auto-profit switching, does it use a SET PASS list to let the pool determine which algo to mine or is auto-profit switching only using the coins listed from whatomine main api list? (basically only coins with revenue/profit numbers)? i am trying to understand how it works, because i currently use NemoMiner multi-algo on both zpool and minerpoolhub. You recently added most of the algo's i mine for profit to your list and my current miner submits the set pass to the pool, they basically decide what to mine from that list as most profitable... if this is how yours works i plan to switch over to your software if can gain the miner software i need for my GTX1070/GTX1080ti rigs
+1 for support for the ccMiner forks.
+1 for the ability to just add our own custom forks of miners and have the most show up in the list.
One after another, new releases are released, and you just add a new ccminer-Alexis to work normally. Sibcoin (SIB) and LBRY (LBC) can not ((sadly
ccminer-Alexis is on the list of miners to add support for. Keep in mind that already today you can download ccminer-Alexis to the computer you are running Awesome Miner, then use the Upload Software feature to push it to all remote miners: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/uploadsoftware.aspxThen you configure your Managed Miners to not do Automatic download, but instead use a specified path. This is where you point it to the exe-file for ccminer-Alexis. Now Awesome Miner will be able to launch ccminer-Alexis instead of the standard ccminer. Of course it's getting even easier if I add it directly to the Automatic download feature. The reason I talk about the Upload software feature is that there will always be some mining software that isn't included or is of latest version in Awesome Miner. Using the Upload software feature you can push the latest software to the entire farm in a single operation and use it. |

FEATURE REQUEST - GPU BENCHMARKING
I'm a relatively new miner with just a few rigs to manage. I find your software to be very helpful in keeping a tab on my rigs and all things running smoothly.
One thing that I find myself tinkering with a lot, far too much because it could be automated, is the hashrates of these rigs. I've used Nicehash to do some of the benchmarking and I really like how you just hit GO and it benchmarks each card individually, rolls it up into the systems overall capability, and does it's own thing with profitability from there. I would love to see this in Awesome Miner. It seems like a huge WIN with the profit switcher capability being a huge differentiator from the stash of basic tools out there. I haven't found the profit profiles to be very accurate for me so out of the box they help a bit, but sometimes send my systems down a rabbit hole. I've pretty much resolved this issue by disabling any algo I haven't personally benchmarked, but I feel this takes away a good chunk of the overall software's capability. Anyhow, GPU benchmarking would be awesome. Thanks!
I agree and this feature is on the list of things to do. It should be possible to run benchmarks on a computer and save them to a Profit Switching Profile. This profile should then be possible to reuse across multiple computers if their configurations are identical, or you run more benchmarks and create more profiles for each unique configuration. You might have to do some manual fine tuning even in this scenario, as the dual mining scenarios can be a bit difficult and depend on how you want to set the intensity of the secondary coin. Today you have the option to right click on a miner and save the current hashrate to a profile. |

Loving the software so far.
However finding that anything but Claymore software crashes the rigs isntantly (CcMinder SP-Mod, EWBF, Excav).
It looks like all three try to start up too hard and cause the crash, any suggestions?
Rigs are Ryzen + 4x 1070's.
If you click the Diagnostics button in the toolbar and look at the output - does it give any indication why it's crashing? Especially the EWBF and Excavator miners typically don't require any configuration except the very basics to get going. |

How can i delete miner? Dont see any button for it in free version.
Open the Options dialog, and then you go either to Managed Miners or External Miners. |

Seems as though the GPU tab no longer works. AB remote is running on the miners, 'display GPU data in the GPU tab' is enabled, I can manually look at the settings by clicking GPU settings > settings via AB and AM.
Could be that AB remote isn't running on some miners and this is causing a conflict?
The stats from the GPU tab is the same information you see on the System tab. Is the information on System tab fine or also wrong? This information is not from Afterburner, as Afterburner is only used for the GPU clocking dialog, not for display on the GPU/System tabs. In the GPU mapping dialog, have you selected to "Display system monitoring data in the GPU tab"? Is this a problem for a specific miner or for all miners? |

Hello Patrike. I don't know how it's happend.  I have 5 1070 + 1 RX 480 on 1 Rig. I setup in Awesome miner EWBF miner as managed on this rig. EWBF miner use only Nvidia GPUs. After EWBF start i manually start Claymore dual miner to mine ETH on RX 480. When i go to web i see RX 480 mine Zcash with EWBF and have 488 sol  I think you need to use the GPU mapping feature to really define the order of the GPU's. Move RX 480 to the bottom because it's not used by the EWBF miner (although I agree that it would be nice with 488 sol/s with that card). http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/gpumapping.aspx |

Hey Pat.
This is a great software and I've been using for yours, my need almost exceed the pro version and i will probably shoot you an email for an upgrade in the next few days.
in the mean time i had a question. it there a way to display profit for an algo coin when pointing a miner to MMR .? the stats is there in the Online Services but i can't seem to be able to do what i want.?? maybe i'm missing something..
thanks and keep up the great work
Hi and thanks for your feedback. The feature you ask for is unfortunately not available. This would require more tight integration with MRR than just displaying a summary on the Online Services tab. |

Except for the PSU's health, you can use Awesome Miner to monitor everything else. You can monitor the mining operations and get e-mail notifications if any GPU isn't working or not performing as expected. You can also define your own rules for when to get notifications, so it's quite powerful. In addition to monitoring you can also do remote GPU clocking and more. |

By any chance of accepting Burstcoin miner as monitoring? I have 80 terabytes to manage, besides the rigs, it's getting complicated.
Which mining software do you use for that one? Do you know if there are API's available for external applications like Awesome Miner to control and monitor? |

Not to spam, but keeping everything concise. Please add a manual start option for afterburner to the context menu when you right click on a miner. I'm not sure when AM performs a check to start AB, but I think it's only after you reboot the miner through AM? Maybe a icon or something that shows when the afterburner service is running on a miner too.
Your comments are valuable, so please continue posting. User feedback is what's making the software even more awesome. MSI Afterburner Remote Server is a bit complicated as it must be started with Administrator privileges. The new configuration in Options dialog, MSI Afterburner section, allows you to auto start Remote Server on all remote computers and then it will run as Administrator. However, just starting the MSI Remote Server from Awesome Miner Remote Agent isn't that easy because of the privilege requirement. MSI Afterburner UI application also requires Administrator privileges to run, but at least that process can be started via MSI Remote Server, so Awesome Miner can take care of that part. Because Awesome Miner only uses MSI Afterburner for the GPU clocking operations, Awesome Miner till not communicate with MSI Remote Server until you open up the GPU clocking dialog. This is also when MSI Afterburner UI is started if not already running. You have a good point about indicating if Afterburner Remote Server is running or not. |

Something I am noticing is miner offline notifications don't seem to work properly, same with rig down notifications. I have some rigs that are resetting and it doesn't notice it or it does a few minutes after I get it up and running again. I am using performance mode so there might be some sort of bug in there.
Also please add a auto update for remote services. 'Would you like to update all remote services?' sorta deal.
Can you let me know the configuration of your Offline Detection rule in the Options dialog, Rules section? In the Trigger of that rule, how many seconds are configured as offline tolerance and is it configured to detect if Remote Agent is offline? The weird thing is it'll detect a miner offline after you start the miner. It doesn't detect all the miners as offline, but quite a few of them will show up in the notifications after batch starting all of them (even though they're all mining). It's set to 2 minutes, the default. Also a bit of confusion here, does it detect when the miner is offline or when the computer is offline? Another thing, is there anyway to identify rigs that have the miner constantly being restarted by AM? (I thought that's what the rule was). I had identified a scenario before where Generic Miner gave incorrect offline warnings, but that should have been fixed in version 3.1. Is it Generic Miners or something else where you run into these problems? To detect computer offline, you need to configure the Offline Detection Rule/Trigger to "Detect Remote Agent offline" |

Awesome update, thanks, Patrike.
I especially love the secondary coin hashrate. Not sure if that was already planned or you implemented that quickly after I suggested it. Either way, I was hoping you could add that since the api didn't seem to support it. (I still would like to see more support in api for secondary coin, as I want to make a dashboard that pulls data from Awesome Miner).
That start remote afterburner server is a nice addition. I don't have the correct license for it yet, but I have been considering it.
How far out is a linux remote agent so you can have full functionality within Linux? I would really like to have miners on linux rather than Windows. But the auto start and a few things you mentioned not supported under linux are still important.
Linux support would be nice, but it's much development effort to do. Right now it's not planned, but it could be something for the future. |

When using the Managed Profit Switcher, is there some way to configure it so that *if* the miner starts mining ETH, that instead of using (zpool or miningpoolhub) it will instead use the custom pool also defined on that page for ETH?
I'm assuming I can just uncheck Etherium from the Profit Switching Profile to prevent it from mining ETH, and then if I also check the box for 'Custom Pools' and add my ETH pool there (ethermine.org), but my question then is when it uses my custom pool (ethermine.org) will AwesomeMiner still be able to Dual-Mine?
That's not possible. Awesome Miner only looks at what is most profitable, so if your custom Ethereum pool is most profitable, it will be used. If Zpool/MiningPoolHub Ethereum algorithm pool (can be any coin), that pool will be used. Awesome Miner is looking at the most profitable Ethereum pool and the most profitable pool for the secondary coin, so you can end up with having your custom Ethereum pool in combination with Zpool Sia for example. |

Awesome Miner 3.1
- Added configuration to make MSI Remote Server automatically start when Windows starts and a setting to ignore specific GPU's by name
hello , how to do configuration to make msi remote server automatically start? in awesomeminer app or on agent? Hi, I'm working on updating the instructions on the web site for this, but the concept is: 1) Open the Options dialog in Awesome Miner and go to the MSI Afterburner section 2) Fill in the path where MSI Remote Server is located on the computers (currently assuming the path is same on all remote computers), for example: C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\RemoteServer 3) Fill in username and password for the user that are logged in to the remote computer (doesn't have to be administrator account). Again, this is assuming you have the same user accounts available on all remote computers. 4) Click OK to save. 5) Changes will be applied right away. On next reboot, MSI Remote Server should be started automatically Please provide your feedback on this feature as well. This is the first release of it and there might be ways of doing this even better. There are some assumptions made here like you need to use same path and user accounts across all remote computers. I can of course add more flexibility here if needed, but that will also complicate the setup. |

This look rather interesting, but I'm guessing there are fees one has to pay. How much are they? As greedy as Claymore, which I shun just because of the greed of the dev?
You can find more information on the pricing for Awesome Miner on the web site: http://www.awesomeminer.com/buy.aspxThere are no hidden fees in Awesome Miner and there is also a Free Edition available. If you the Claymore miner from Awesome Miner, the Claymore miner itself can have a dev free, but that's totally within the Claymore software. |
