I assume this was a typo for 25 BTC? What difficulty increases are you calculating with?

Can you please send me your Awesome Miner log file? It can be accessed from Options dialog, Advanced section. Sent it to info[at]awesomeminer.com
Thanks!

Teamviewer and Remote Desktop are probably the least efficient way of monitoring multiple mining rigs (or even a single rig for that matter), as you don't have any centralized management or overview of the mining.

If you connect via Remote Desktop or similar to the remote miners, you should see the Cgminer/Sgminer text based window. Does that one show any GPU statistics like temperature and fan speed?

In this case I would recommend you to uninstall Awesome Miner first. Go to Control Panel, Programs and Features, select Awesome Miner and then Uninstall. Your configuration will not be removed when doing the uninstallation, as they are saved in your user configuration folder.

Next step is to download and install the latest version (currently 1.0.6) from the web site:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download.aspx

I know that a few users had issues with the automatic upgrades, and there are changes for this in version 1.0.6 to better prepare the upgrades for future versions.

Would it be possible to include the current profitability information (BTC / MH / day) in the API response?
This is the kind of API-call I would like to use for this purpose:
https://coinking.io/api.php?key=xxxxxxx&type=currentscryptcoin&output=json

Jag har mailat Webhallen om att de borde snabba upp sina Bitcoin-betalningar, och att 6 confirms kanske är lite overkill för småköp.

Are you running the Remote Service (Windows service) or the Remote Agent (Windows system tray application) on your remote miners? If you are using the Window service, some GPU information will not be available because they cannot be accessed from services.

I used to have Antminer S1, and then I had to modify the startup shell script for the miner to enable privileged API access. Have you tried these steps?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=499837.0

Good idea, but there are very few SHA-256 multi-pools out there. But sure, just NiceHash and BTC would also be useful.

The Coinking API doesn't provide any profitability information. I've tried to contact them about that without success. I will try again.

I've started to look into that, and if there are enough interest, I will support it in Awesome Miner. There are however no API at all provided by Cudaminer/ccminer, so the statistics you can get will basically be what the console output is giving you. But that's good enough for making a nVidia based profit switcher.

I don't think there are any good Windows GUI software for monitoring nVidia GPU mining at the moment. If there are many users requesting that feature, I can implement it in Awesome Miner.

The Script API might be a bit difficult to use unless you are used to C# development.

You will find more information, and including the source code for the Awesome Profit Switching script here:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/script.aspx

At some point I was planning to do the development of this new script for stopping low profit miners, but it may not be the next few weeks because of many other feature requests.

Is the idea to stop the miner if the profitability is lower than a specified number of BTC/1MH/day? And start the mining again if the profitability get higher? That feature is currently not available, but is fully possible to develop using the existing Script API for Awesome Miner. It will however only work for Managed Miners, not for external ASIC's for example.

I had similar requests before, and this is good input to future development.

Is it possible to install some kind of software on the mining device with dynamic IP? Or is it an ASIC you don't really have that kind of access to? There are online DNS services like dyndns (and probably others as well, I was a long time since I used these kind of services) where you can install local software that automatically updates your DNS name to point to your dynamic IP. In this case it would be possible to point Awesome Miner to the DNS name instead of the IP.

But in general, just like Axiste point out, Awesome Miner will require you to manually change the IP address.

You need Windows to run Awesome Miner, but you can monitor any computer or device running Cgminer or Sgminer, using the "External Miner" feature.

It works fine to monitor standalone ASIC's like Antminer S1 and KnC Neptune, or computers running Linux. When connected to any of these, you can manage pools (switch, add, enable, disable, prioritize and so on), manage devices, and of course see statistics and other information.

To fully manage a remote computer using the "Managed Miner" feature, with support for starting mining process and reboot computer, you need to run the Remote Service that is only available on Windows.

To summarize, you don't need Windows to be running on your miners, but if you do, you can get additional features not provided by Cgminer itself. In the screenshot you see above, there are four miners running and Awesome Miner shows statistics and provides operations for all of them:
- Two miners running Windows (Managed Miner)
- Two different ASIC's running Linux (External Miner)

I will investigate if future versions of the Awesome Miner Remote Service can be used to forward the connections to other miners, like your Antminers, on the same remote network

While it's true that there are more Scrypt coins than Litecoin, I would guess that about 80% of the Scrypt hash rate goes to Litecoin. Most new coins have a very low market cap, so there is only a limited amount of hashes that can be spent on them with profit.

The question is for how long it will be more profitable. With every Hashlet being added, the Litecoin (and other...) difficulty increases and because of the automatic exchange to BTC, it also creates more and more selling pressure on Litecoin making the price go down.

I can confirm that. Running 13.12 give best Scrypt hash rates, while 14.7 gives much better hash rates for the X-algorithms. Because most people don't mine Scrypt using GPU anymore, this isn't much of a problem.

The only drawback of upgrading to 14.7 is that GPU memory speed cannot be changed anymore.

If MRR is enabled in the Options dialog, Online Services section, that is what Awesome Miner is trying to do, at least when the rig is rented.

It's good that you can add the Managed Host successfully. When you use the "Test connection" button for the Managed Host, you have verified that you can connect to the remote computer running the Remote Service Agent.

Next step is to add a Managed Miner for the Managed Host. Go to the "Managed Miners" section in the Options dialog and add a new. Select the Host that you just added.

More details about how to create a Managed Miner can be found here.

The Antminers already have their own Cgminer software running, so for those the concepts like Managed Hosts and Managed Miners cannot be used. Instead, the Antminers should be added as "External Miner". When adding an Antminer as an "External Miner", it's the IP address of the Antminer you should enter.

You can read about how to add an External Miner here.

The exchange rates for (almost) all altcoins have dropped a lot the last month. Has Litecoin really dropped that much more than the market in general?
