What kind of PSU are you using? What kind of risers? Have you tried to isolate the GPUs and risers to see which one is the culprit?

QuintLeo,
I respect your opinions on many things, but your OS stability rants are bordering on fanatical. When Linux is used as a server OS, it's very stable... but so is Windows Server OS. Millions of enterprise Windows Server OS installations are there for a reason... market momentum. Internet services run on Linux and other Unix variants because they were the first to develop the standards and tools that brought the internet to life... once again market momentum. Linux is slowly gaining market share in the general purpose server OS realm as more experience with the systems and tools are brought into the workforce. Just like the old adage "no one ever got fired for buying IBM"... no IT manager or director will ever get fired for buying Windows Server OS. Why? Because it has great support and stability.
The consumer level versions of Windows contain tons of built in features and automation that can cause stability issues, but bleeding edge consumer level linux OS can also have stability issues.
I've never had a windows mining rig blue screen or "crash". 99% of the time, its the mining software itself that is unstable, or causes a driver exception... or a hardware issue like a riser card or GPU fault.

Please tell me how to configure Ethereum Dual mining in Profit Switching. That only I did not try anything ((
The profit switcher will automatically do Dual mining if it's more profitable. Please note that Dual Hashrate value for Ethereum and the secondary coins (Decred, Lbry, ...) will be used in these calculations. When you have a Managed Profit Miner running, you can right click on it and select View Details. In that dialog you will see more information about profitability for each pool and combinations of Ethereum and secondary coins. This gives an understanding of how the profit decisions are made. As Patrike said... Also, you need to have fairly accurate numbers listed for the dual hash rates. For instance, when you mine just etherium, your hashrate will typically be higher than when you mine dual algos... depending on the intensity you set. You set these numbers in the Profit Profiles, which you then assign to a rig via a managed miner or a profit miner. You need to set the realistic dual hashrate especially for the secondary algo otherwise, when you are using a profit miner, it may think you are capable of a much higher hashrate than you are doing and stay on a dual mining setup when a single coin may be more profitable. And the opposite will also be true, if you don't put an accurate number for the dual mined algo, it may never switch to it if it's not as profitable as the single algo. Benchmarking is important, or knowing what your real numbers are and putting them into Profit Profiles. |

So it's not a graph of how your rig actually performs, just a graph of whattomine results? I'm not so sure that's going to be accurate. You should modify your script to poll the API of the mining software for accurate sample data, inject that into whattomine's calculator for a point in time profitability graph.
If you aren't selling you mined coins at that exchange rate at that exact moment, then the profitability/income graph means nothing. It's not until you actually sell a coin that you can count profits.

I keep track of mining profit over time, for most cards. Here is a chart I make if anyone interested. Also has settings recommendations. Working on improvements, feedback welcome http://xeridea.us/chartsHow are you generating the graph? Are you taking samples manually, or do you have something collecting the samples to generate the data for the graph? |

Running stock settings, litecoin mining. R9 390 gpu. No OC. What could be causing this?
What miner are you using to mine scrypt? You'd have to have uploaded a very old miner that still supported scrypt to Awesome Miner, as none of the built in miners support scrypt... it was removed from ccminer a long time ago because you shouldn't be using GPUs to mine litecoin. |

I´m wondering how reliable the profit profile switching is and if it picks the right coin to mine. The numbers jump from $5 per day to $0.8 per day.
I´ve tested Awesome Miner with 2x GTX 1070 and the software reported a profit of $2 per day wheras Nicehash generates $2.90 per day. The profile groups show also weird results. I´ve benchmarked one GTX 1070 and saved the profile. When selecting that profile in the Coins tab it shows $1.70 profit per day. Then I created a profile group, added the single GPU profile and set the profile count to 2. When I select the group profile the profit jumps to $11 per day. Honestly, the software looks great and has amazing features, but those weird numbers make me doubt.
/Doc
The online services (Nicehash, Zpool, Miningpoolhub and Miningrigrentals) are the ones that supply the data as to what is most profitable. AM will switch based upon the information fed to it by these services. This information is on the Online Services tab. The Coins tab will only come into play if you have a custom pool group to mine those specific coins with a profit miner. |

Citronik,
What are those breakout boards on your 2400W PSU? I've never seen those before. They must be awkward with the 90 degree placement of the connector to the PCIe plugs.

Windows 10 just scares me with all of the privacy settings that are open and everything else that comes with it
Ok, I'll bite. What makes Linux more private than Windows when it comes to mining? |

Hey Vosk,
Do you plan on keeping this thread updated with your daily profits regularly? I'm sure lots of people would be curious to see how difficulty is going to affect these devices as more D3s and other ASICs come online over the next few months.

Hi, is there any solution about Ewbf 0sol? the miner does not restart with this error  What kind of problem is that? Are other mining software working on you system? Can you please share more details.  no other software, but this is a "normal" problem of ewbf, happen on all my miner random. How hard are you pushing your rig? From the picture, your GPUs are pushing 480+ sols... sounds like you have GTX 1070s or maybe 1080s... but are pushing them way too hard. Thus, the GPUs are crashing and EWBF is trying to recover. Back off your power limits and or overclocks 5% here and there until you have a stable rig. You can use Awesome Miner (if you have the correct edition) to control Afterburner Server... this will allow you to control GPU/Mem clocks, and power limit. |

My rig keeps crashing when doing autoprofit mining. I was previously mining etherium just fine. What could be the problem?
If you have your rig tuned to do Eth, then start it as a profit miner... when it changes to a different algorithm, the GPU settings could be wrong. Your over/underclocks for Eth could be the wrong settings for a different more stressful algorithm. Also, if you have your rig running on the edge of what your PSU can handle... you may be running into an issue with the PSU not being able to deliver enough power for a stressful algo based on your previous tuning for Eth. How many, and what kind of GPUs are you running? What PSU are you running? I am using 8x GTX 1070 with 1600 Watt EVGA plat PSU. I have restored the settings in msi and they are default with not OC. Not sure what the issue is I did notice that my CPU usage is very high around 70-80% when i was mining eth it was 30-40% Well... 8x 1070s running at full power limit will be 1200W. Add in say 150W for the rest of the system, and you are at 1350. You are running the PSU at 85% of it's maximum load. I'd back the power limit down to 80% using Afterburner to give your PSU a little more breathing room. |

I use minera 0.8.0 to run my miner. Could i also use AM to monitor and manage also remote control it?
I'm not sure why you would want to. Awesome Miner would replace the need for minera. AM will download and control the mining software on your rig, giving you the aggregated stats and more. What kind of rigs do you have? If they are ASICs, then you just setup the ASICs as External Miners in AM, and AM can monitor and control them. |

Thank you I'll give that a shot. Also is there a way I could have one rig mine at mph and another on zpool? I want to try and compare them.
Yes, go to the Managed Profit Miner settings for each rig, and click on the Override global profit switching pool settings and set one rig on only MPH, and another rig on just zpool. |

Yes, I use Awesome Miner. It's really great, and I highly recommend it. Come on over to the AM thread if you have any questions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.0It can seem a little daunting to setup, but that's because it offers so many features, and is very flexible to let you do what you need it to do. |

Thank you for the detailed reply.  I do not mind having it convert to BTC or ETH as I can always sell that later. Now based of what youve said it seems easier to use zpool or mph to do this. I also tried using MPH and I still have coins sitting there not being credited from auto exchange.Is there a way I can have payouts automatically sent to my bittrex account and sold without having to transfer them manually? Ive used bittrex autosell feature before and it seems pretty great. Also what do you think th emost profitable way is? As of right now I got Zpool working great and it is switching for me and everything which is nice. All in all i just want to make sure im getting the most profiablility as I can out of this. Yes, you just set your auto payout threshold to some number that you are comfortable with, and put in your Bittrex wallet address for that coin. You do have to do it on all the coins that you will be mining. Then on Bittrex setup the auto sell feature for those coins that you want it to convert directly to BTC. I did say "some number you are comfortable with" because you are going to lose a little bit in the fee that MPH charges. I'm ok with 1%, so if the transaction fee on MPH is 0.01, with a minimum of 1.0 to process... then I set the auto payout threshold to 1.01. That way as soon as I've mined 1.01 of that coin, I'll get 1.0 sent immediately to Bittrex, which immediately sells it. I do this to make sure I get the coins to Bittrex as fast as possible so that the coin is still "hot" on the exchange. If you wait until you have a large number of coins, the coin my not be hot anymore and you wont get as much profit. As I've said before, if you let MPH do the auto convert to BTC, they wait until you and everyone else has accumulated enough coins to make it worth MPH's while... by then the coin is probably not "hot" anymore and you are selling on the dips. |

It should only take you about 30 minutes to rebuild a Windows 10 rig on an SSD. It would probably take you about that long to restore from a backup.
Here's the very quick steps needed to get a Windows rig setup to run headless...
1. Install Windows (depending on the version of Windows you may not even have to activate!)
2. Install missing drivers for mobo and video card
3. Turn off Windows Update service
4. Enable auto login
5. Disable sleep mode in power control panel
6. Enable RDP
That's all you have to do. From that point on disconnect the monitor keyboard and mouse and RDP into the rig from the comfort of your couch.
I just do one more step. I install the Awesome Miner agent and then I rarely even have to RDP into the rig. The Awesome Miner console will control the rig, download mining software, change my mining software and pools at will or on a profit-switching interval.

Hi, I am currently using mpsw option for claymore and I dont see a way to enter password for remote management of claymore. I reviewed the docs/faq on the awesome miner site, but couldnt see a way to get that working. Probably something in this thread but tbh I havent read all the pages Thanks, You'd want to add options like this as a custom command line option in the managed software for Claymore. |
