Is it possible to set intensity of a miner for only 1 or 2 algorithms instead of all of them.
I added --intensity on the edit profit profile page
Managed software -> select miner -> user defined command lines per algorithm that you can customize intensity. Note you must add the algorithm name into the command line to start the user defined command line. E.g. default X17 algorithm starts with x17. In the user defined command line, you also have to start with x17 Simply add x17 --intensity 21 Would that work? |

I'm having an issue with whattomine JSONs. I've added one under the statics section. I then go to setup my pool and typically it would just show up under the "coin" setting when adding a pool to give me the proper dropdown, but its not. Any idea why it wouldn't update the list?
Also, is it possible to take all the JSONs from whattomine so I don't have to keep adding them?
Only way I have gotten this to work and show up is. 1) Add coin inside statistics first 2) Add user defined coin under Coins & Profit 3) It then shows up with two coins in the list, 1 that actually calculates and one that doesn't do anything. I then remove the User Defined Coin and the useful calculating coin remains. Am I doing something wrong...adding and removing seems unnecessary. Im a noob here but I have been able to add coins by simply adding the json web address (from whattomine) then make stats update in 2 minutes, after that the coin will be in the list. Dont delete the json addresses or the coins will also be deleted (at least they were for me when I thought it okay to clean those entries out) I originally manually entered the coins as well but accidentally found one added after just inputting the json address |

one of my rigs periodically will stop working. Seems to be losing one of the 7 GPUs for some unknown reason. I can manually restart Awesome and it will mine with the remaining 6 GPUs. Any tool on Awesome to help figure out what the cause is or what card is acting up?
I enabled the notification setting if A.M. detects a problem card (i think) so maybe that at least will let me know when it happens. I think I read somewhere that to have A.M. be able to reboot the PC that auto logon has to be enabled which I am not sure I want to do.
When this happened to me it was due to a bad riser, I got a new one and problem solved. I was able to identify the bad one with MSI Afterburner, the bad card wouldn't report the clock speeds or temperature unless I restarted windows. Hope this helps. afterburner would not report after it dropped out? When its running all 7 it seems to report fine, I will have to check after it crashes again and looses a gpu Thanks for the info |

Installed new version of AM and added excavator. Benchmark runs fine but when I start the rig on multipool hub it seems to show several algos in blue with speeds all 0.00000
What did I do wrong?
I just learned that Excavator and Mining Pool Hub doesn't work together. After doing more research, it looks like the Excavator miner is explicitly blocking connections to Mining Pool Hub because of some disagreements between Nicehash and Mining Pool Hub. I will have to implement something in Awesome Miner that prevents the profit switcher from selecting the combination of Excavator and MPH. For the moment, please disable one of them. Thanks for the prompt response Shame, Excavator is a good miner for Neo and a few others and I was going to try out Multipoolhub to see if it was any better than ahashpool. Will reconfigure Awesome to go back to KlausT and DSTM for npw. |

every so often one of my versions of ccminer will crash. Is there a setting that will detect this and restart it?
I have to close the miner window and then it will auto restart.
thx

When one tweaks the profit option for Time and Percentages does Time stand for the minimum amount of time AM will allow the rig to stay on its last job (whatever pool/algo it was on) What happens after the time lapses? it will redirect ONLY if there is something offering a profit greater than the %percentage that is set? Yes, you got it mostly. The time is just the amount of time that will pass before AM re-calculates "best coin or algo" profit values from the statistics it gets from either Whattomine (if you are mining individual pools or pool groups)... or it rechecks the enabled Online Services that you have enabled on profit miners. If you are mining individual pools or pool groups, there is also another time setting to pay attention to on the Statistics tab in the Options. That time setting is how often AM will check Whattomine or Coinwarz for updated statistics. I dont fully follow when some of the posts talk about setting the values so that your rig doesnt jump around too often but yet doesnt miss out on the peaks?
If I understood how it worked a little more I could possibly run some tests with that idea in mind to see whats best.
The more I read the more I retain (although its in small bits)
Thanks for your help so far gents
I'll just requote what I wrote a few weeks (and a few pages) back:
Let's say you switch to mine a coin that has a 2 minute block time on say Zpool. You mine your share, and you get a percentage of the reward for that block. But now, you have to wait for say 10 confirmations to mature before it's sent to the exchange. That's now 20 minutes you are waiting for the coin to mature before it gets sent to the exchange. Now, let's say it's a mildly popular coin, and it's gets sent to the exchange... minimum 2 minutes of that coin's block time if Zpool has enough of that coin built up to make it worth their while to send to the exchange. We are up to 22 minutes. That transaction is going to take another 10 confirmations before the exchange makes it available to trade. We are now up to 42 minutes.
What are the chances that your coin is worth the same amount when you started mining it until it reaches the point where it can be traded on the exchange 42 minutes later? Not very likely. There are thousands and thousands of miners that use auto-switching algorithms and were mining the same coin you thought was hot in that moment. That shoots up the difficulty, and the massive dump on the exchange(s) sends the value of the coin down.
A 24 hour profitability evens out those nuances, and I would even argue that a longer period is necessary. You want to be mining a coin that is consistently in the top spot... not in the moment.
But, this is my opinion... there are other perspectives.
Thanks for that explanation Puwaha I was under the assumption that when a coin was hot, it simply meant from a mining perspective. I didnt think it was related to its market price just perhaps difficulty or popularity. I was previously thinking that running AM for even less time to hit several of these small peaks would be beneficial but after reading your explanation I guess it could actually be detrimental. Im just trying to find a good rhythm to run these rigs on to maximize their profits (but I guess so is everyone else) Thanks again for your help |

Kindof lost me here, whats the difference between a pool group and MPH or Zpool? I thought these were "pool groups"
A pool group is a set of pools. They can consist of different algos, or a bunch of pools for one coin (or both)... that part is up to you. Online Services MPH and Zpool is a single pool with multiple algos/coins. With a pool group, you can setup your own pseudo-online service, and use profit switching based on the Coins tab... which is whattomine's data. Whereas with an Online Service, you will use their data. For me, I have pool groups with maybe the top 5 coins that I really like to mine. On another pool group I will have a bunch of pools that mine the same coin. Some of the pools I mine to are dodgy, so if they are offline, AM will go to the next one. So you just keep the coins or trade/shift them yourself through cryptopia or what not? I think I follow you now Thanks |

@puwaha, @patrike
question for you if you don't mind. I understand your argument for using 24hr averages (and preferably even longer) vs instant and having running switching no more often than once an hour or so. I'm still to see the results - I used to run switching every 1-5 minutes with a high threshold for switching, like 30-40% (call it 1/1/30). I need to run it for the whole day or 2 to make a conclusion. But here's a problem that surfaced right away when using 24hr/1hr pattern (i'll call it 24/1/10) - bad pools. So if I run 1/1/30 and the pool is bad, which can be manifested in multiple ways, for instance AM keeps restarting a miner saying that the process is not running (though accepted # keeps ticking) or no accepted blocks are coming in, then the pool will potentially quickly drop off the top of the profitability table and AM will happily switch to (hopefully) a non-corrupted pool. Now if the same problem arises during my 24/1/10 configuration, I'm potentially screwed for hours - the best AM miner can do here (I wish it could be more intelligent dealing with multiple restarts, except just stop trying after X times and stopping the miner in the process) is to keep restarting the miner, which does no good, since it keeps going back to the same corrupted pool. Have you run into something like this before (btw, it seems that lots of pools are having problems in the last couple days)? How would you deal with it? If I do any profit switching, I'm typically doing a pool group, not online services like zpool, MPH, etc. Online services switch too much for my tastes. Now, for a service being down, there are rule actions like Miner command. This has options like "Change pool", or "Change Pool Group" that might help you. There's also a rule action to apply template. I would have a good reliable pool to mine a single coin as a template ready to go, or do the Change Pool or Pool Group action setup on all your miners as a fall back. It's better to mine a good reliable coin for a few hours until you get a chance to check out the problem with the Online Service than to have your miner sitting idle. Kindof lost me here, whats the difference between a pool group and MPH or Zpool? I thought these were "pool groups" PS: I find it quite useful to monitor the # of accepted blocks in the last 3-5 minutes and if that number stalls force profit switching and restarting the rig. HOWEVER, and that might be another question, it seems that AM has a "miner not running, restarting" routine that's run outside of the rules framework and I can't figure out how to intercept it and, potentially, force it to run a profit switching before restarting the miner - have you ever dealt with that one?
AM's whole point is to try to keep your rigs doing what they do best... mining. You can get really complex with your automation, or keep it simple. That part is up to you. If your mining software stalls or crashes, your should troubleshoot why that is happening. Maybe the mining software is buggy, you might have driver issues, a bad riser, or power supply issues? Trying to force AM to compensate for these problems will always have you going down a rabbit hole of trying to resolve edge cases. |

I have only used Ahashpool and it did not require an account, just a btc wallet ( or i guess any wallet you request payout to)
It looks like maybe mining pool hub requires an account ( i think ) so if i understand correctly I couldnt point all our rigs to that pool and split our payouts?
Thanks for the reply tek
for mph you need to set your workers names in the account settings (on the mph site) and they you can customize worker name per rig in AM. So I can create a MPH account but define our individual rigs with different names and then point these individual named rigs to separate wallets? |

moon thx again for the info
I tried the sniffdogminer on ahashpool for a few days and now trying out Awesome Miner. Seems to do basically the same thing yet with a bit better interface and perhaps the ability to control all rigs from one PC without having to remote into each one individually. We will see.
It seems to be working although not as profitable as I had hoped, still at least its making something to pay itself off in several months.
Running 7x1080ti and 7x1070ti for around .006btc/day . It looks like you can modify/add the miners which are most profitable per each algo into awesome miner so that may be what I will try next. Also perhaps trying another pool such as Miningpoolhub or zpool/hashrefinery. Not that my update is worth anything major but perhaps other new miners lurking just as I did and sharing info/experiences could move them along another step as it did for myself.
The more I spend reading about other folks successes and mishaps, the more this noob learns.
Thanks to all who contribute their time!! Much appreciated

Greetings
Just installed the free AM program to try it out. Thanks for offering this option BTW.
As a very new miner I am still testing this and that trying to find the most profitable options for me so I yet have much to learn.
Regarding AM software- If I purchase paid version which would allow me to remotely manage all rigs from one PC, would AM allow me to set each rig's pool wallet separately? I manage rigs for both my brother and myself right now remotely. Would like to try the option of managing just from one program without having to log into each rig independently. Not sure how the settings carry over from rig to rig and if it allows these settings to be different or just clones them from the original.
Also curious as to how the software works when mining to a pool such as Ahash. Does AM choose most profitable algo and just points at Ahash? OR does Ahash choose best algo and request it from AM?
Thanks for the info
in one word set each rig's pool wallet separately yes I have done it testing stuff, I may have two rigs on one pool and 2/3 on another pool or the same pool with 2 different wallets for whatever reason but only if the pool allows it with the same account, tip: no pools Ive tried under the same User name let me that doesn't use the wallet direct but stores it on there site till payout . I have only used Ahashpool and it did not require an account, just a btc wallet ( or i guess any wallet you request payout to) It looks like maybe mining pool hub requires an account ( i think ) so if i understand correctly I couldnt point all our rigs to that pool and split our payouts?

Is there some honest pools for us？？Help！
My 6x1080ti working on ahashpool.com only got about 0.003btc/day,
But the cmd‘s windows always show 0.005-0.008btc/day,
very sad.
And now what is the answer of 1080ti Best mining option??
The cmd windows usually is also wrong and changes a lot based on what the pool has found and current prices. It may be a bit less than mining directly, but you also have to deal with only one wallet and coin. is it considerably less or only a few percentage? which of them seems most consistent? I see Ahashpool, Miningrefinery, zpool, and miningpoolhub? Do you have to use their sniffdog tool? Can it be used with 1070ti rig? May be an easy set and forget option if the "a bit less" is not too bad. I apologize for the barrage of questions, I will take whatever knowledge you can offer here. Thanks I prefer Ahash, but i think it just comes down to personal preference. Although, lots of people complain about Zpool. I had good results mining individual coins on miningpoolhub also. If you want to use a single miner you can, just point it at the right port etc. The cmd window can show pretty inaccurate numbers, and it'll re-adjust frequently throughout the day. Currently mine is showing 12$ / day AUD / card, where as a few hours ago it was showing 15$. I generally get paid $9-10 per card. It's a very easy set and forget program once you work out a stable overclock for all the algos you choose. Just run, and get your btc to your wallet each time you hit the minimum payout. I used to have to check my cards frequently, or change coins manually which got very time consuming. With this I can just load the webpage once a day if I feel like it, to check the rig is still running, and then leave it be. I've never used the program with a 1070ti sorry, could always just give it a try. That sounds easy enough. I downloaded thesniff tool that both ahash and refinery mention. I will let it run the benchmark and see how it compares to the HSR miner I have been running. Refinery actually mentions two other tools I can look into. I also saw nemosminer mentioned as well. Any of those you have affinity to? Thanks for your help moon! |
