Update on Awesome Miner Antminer firmware

Our web site has been updated about the custom firmware we provide for Antminers. Currently supported Antminers:

Antminer S9, S9i, S9j
Antminer T9+
Antminer L3+
Antminer S17, S17 Pro
Antminer T17

Antminer S9k, S9SE and S17e will be supported in the near future.

On average an hashrate performance increase of 10%+ can be expected for Antminer S9 and 40%+ for Antminer S17.

Unlock and installation
Awesome Miner can automatically unlock Antminers (where SSH is disabled and signature check is enforced) in order to install the firmware. The unlock and automatic installation is supported on all Antminers listed above with the only exceptions being:

Antminer S9 running Bitmain firmware from July 2019 - requires SD-card to install
Antminer L3+ running Bitmain firmware from July 2019 - requires SD-card to install

Awesome Miner for free
The firmware has a mining fee of either 2% or 3%. The firmware editions with a 3% mining fee includes an Awesome Miner license and doesn't consume any of the licenses available in Awesome Miner. This makes it possible to run Awesome Miner with all features and with any numbers of miners without paying anything for the license - as long as the firmware with a 3% mining fee is being used.

More information
For more details about the firmware, please see:

Hi Boss
can you create small elements for this lists:
GPU clocking profile;
Profit Profile;
please add to this lists column sorting feature.

Any chance that we get functionality to export/import of "Profit profiles" ? I understand, that is not easy due database structure. Maybe you can create some tool, which created new database entries in destination database and so import can be done.

Regards

The next development release will have a few changes to these lists in the Options dialog. For GPU Clocking Profiles, I've not yet made the changes as I also need to find a way to fit all details - maybe using "PL" for "Power Limit" and so on.

Patrike -- any plans to support FPGA miners like Blackminer F1s ?

Thanks for your question. Blackminer F1 is already supported by Awesome Miner. There are a few users running this FPGA miner together with Awesome Miner.

I don't have any first hand experience in setting up this miner myself. It could be that you need to enable the monitoring API via the web interface of this miner before you can access it via Awesome Miner.

how can I remove the uploaded miners (to hosts) easily?

I found 2 locations

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\AwesomeMinerService
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\AwesomeMinerService\UploadedSoftware

The easiest way is to do it via the list of miners in the Awesome Miner main application. Please right click on a miner and select System Tools -> Cleanup of all downloaded and uploaded mining software.

but it's delete all of them including the latest of all miner that's using too?

It's correct that it will remove all mining software. However, if you do this while the Remote Agent isn't mining, and then you start it again, it will re-download the mining software it needs. The result will be that all non-used and all uploaded mining software will be gone.

An alternative if you only want to remove the uploaded mining software would be to use System Tools -> Execute Remote Command, where you use a command line for removing a specific folder.

Awesome Miner version 7.1.2

ASIC mining
- Innosilicon A10 support improved
Feature
- Display of average and maximum temperature per group in the Miners tab
- Improved compatibility for processing data responses from dynamic updates of coin properties
Integration
- ProHashing pool
- Stex exchange balance
- TradeOgre exchange balance
- Zergpool pool information to exclude solo mining pools
User interface
- Clocking Profile selection in the Profit Profile has been improved to make more room for the name of the profile
Mining software
- Gminer 1.71
- Z-enemy miner 2.3
- XmRig CPU miner 4.5.0 beta
Correction

Thanks for adding the ProHashing pool! However I've not been able to enable mining ethash even if I create a user defined service pool for it. It won't show up in the online services tab, but it will show up in the profit switching at .$25/day no matter what I set the profit ratio at (like 2000%). It also shows up in the logs for available ethhash pools - so AM is aware of it, but doesn't seem to fully utilize it. Any idea on how to make this work?

Hal

I noticed that ProHashing Ethereum wasn't loaded correctly - so it wasn't available on the Online Services tab either. Thanks for reporting the issue - it will be corrected in the next release.

BR Ralf

Hi Ralf,
Unfortunately the S17e is a bit different and is not yet supported. It's however not that different and the plan is to support it in the near future.

Hai Patrick...

I would like to suggest to update the diff and hashrate coins to be accelerated ... now the coin updates are too slow and the moment to get the best coins for mining becomes less profit

Thanks

Awesome Miner updates the coin statistics from sources like WhatToMine.com and CoinCalculators.io on a regular interval. If you use the profit switcher on a 5 minute interval, the coin statistics will also be updated at this rate. You can also force Awesome Miner to update this information more often - via the Options dialog, Statistics Provider section, "Update interval".

Please note that there can also be delays for specific coins at any of these coin statistics providers. This can however not be resolved via Awesome Miner.

i already did that but still the coin update on cointabs have delay... even i click update... so imust put manual manual global hashrate and diff every coin to get best match.... please take look at this... this happening since long time a go. I think this is need a major update in awesome

Thanks

So the value you see in the Coins tab of Awesome Miner is not matching what you see on the web site for the provider (WhatToMine.com or Coincalculators)? Can you give an example of a coin I should look at?

Please note that there can be coins that once were included by these providers, but they have dropped support for it.

1. simple coin is zero real block reward is 7.8 and awesome says is 10 coin per block....
2. in coin properties i must change calculation method to network hashrate not using diff factor, it make more close to real calculation than using what awesome using standart
diff calculation.
The major problem is on coincalculator.io all very late to update...

For CoinCalculators.io, this coin is currently removed from their main listing, but you can include it via the Options dialog, Statistics Provider, where you can paste this CoinCalculators.io additional JSON URL:
https://www.coincalculators.io/api?name=zero
There might be some delay from CoinCalculators.io here, but it's reported as 7.8 when I'm looking right now.

WhatToMine reports with coin with Block Reward 7.8 as well.

Generally Gminer works fine when launched via Awesome Miner and I'm not able to reproduce this.
Is it only with the most recent Gminer 1.73 you run into this problem or with earlier versions as well?

I tried all the versions there were to choose from inside Awesome Miner, all of them gave the save error

The latest update of Awesome Miner fixed the issue. GMiner works fine now

Thanks for letting me know and great that it's working better now. There are however no changes in the last Awesome Miner release that could affect Gminer, so it must have started to work for some other reason.

I've also pushed Gminer 1.74 - you can access it via Update Mining Software Definitions in the menu.

Hi Patrike !

Another suggestion for for you to include in the next update if you find it usefull.
Currently I can update coin price with exchange API in BTC. But for some coins I could only exchange to DOGE/LTC/ETH/ETC/USDT/USDC.
Could it be possible to add something like a drop down menu in coin properties " Value in ..." and choose between populars coins like these.

I don't know if I'm clear enough, so just tell me if not and I'll try to explain it another way, with graphics Wink

I fully understand your request. It's noted but I will have to investigate if this can be supported in a good way. Thanks!

Hi Patrike !

Any news about my request ?
At least just a dynamic update of price in USD would already be great !

Thx !

Hi,

Thanks for the follow up. Although it's possible to support other exchange pairs than with BTC, there will be some design changes required in order to support this. The request is still noted, but I've not yet had a chance to get to it.

Dynamic Updates of the USD price is however easier to add support for. I will get back to you with an update on this during next week.

Awesome Miner version 7.1.5

Integration
- Removed HashRefinery pool as it's no longer active
Mining software
- SrbMiner Multi 0.1.6 beta
Corrections
- Correction to profit switcher for External Miners for a scenario with all pools having negative profitability
- Correction to a profit switching scenario when Awesome Miner is launched for the very first time.
- Correction to Remote Proxy communication error

I cannot run GMiner from inside AwesomeMiner, the GMiner quits with an error "Anti-hacking system detected modification of the miner memory. If you using an antivirus, add miner to antivirus exceptions". Adding the gminer folder to antivirus exceptions does not help. Completely disabling the antivirus does not help. Also if I go to the gminer folder that awesomeminer uses to download and run the latest version of GMiner (C:\Users\George\AppData\Local\AwesomeMiner\gminer_1_73_windows64_2) and start gminer manually, GMiner runs fine, without any errors. How can I make it work from inside AwesomeMiner?

Generally Gminer works fine when launched via Awesome Miner and I'm not able to reproduce this.

Is it only with the most recent Gminer 1.73 you run into this problem or with earlier versions as well?

Gminer do have their own anti-hacking system that might be sensitive to when the mining software is launched from other applications under some certain conditions. The details of how this check is performed inside Gminer is only known by the Gminer developers - so there are unfortunately no solution I can do from an Awesome Miner point of view to resolve this. It must be investigated by the Gminer team.

Does anyone else here run into these Gminer issues?

Awesome Miner version 7.1.4

Awesome Miner Antminer firmware
- Firmware for Antminer L3+ added
ASIC mining
- Improved matching of the pools reported by an ASIC miner with the pools defined in Awesome Miner
Mining software
