Feature Request : - Add a Hash/watt (efficiency) stat
- Support for appending worker name to the password. Maybe a toggle to add to username or password
- In a similar way add password param, like rigname, so we can change param like difficulty per template or per worker
- Abilty to modify the default miner param
- Abilty to use custom watchdog/reboot scripts
Thanx !!  Thanks for all suggestions. A few comments about #2, #4 and #5 above. 2) You can use the variable [MinerWorker] in the Password field and it will be replaced with the miner unique worker name from your miner. See also: https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000086024-pool-worker-names4) As you might know already, you can at least modify some of the default parameters via the Options dialog, Managed Software section. If you have a miner that is only API compatible with other software and want to completely customize the command line generated, you can create a user defined Managed Software defined to be API compatible with for example CcMiner. In your miner command line you can then use variables like: -a c11 -o [PoolUrl] -u [Worker] -p [Password] --api-remote -b 0.0.0.0:[ApiPort] The result is that you are in full control of the command line to use, but you will make use of the API from the mining software. See also: https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000086017-generic-miner-use-any-mining-software5) In the rules you will find the trigger type "Process Failure". Using this one you can define what custom actions to take in case some mining software crashed either once or "too many times". |

Before the update, I was able to see the details of each GPU on each machine. Now, it shows the hashrate, but the power, clock speeds, and load details all show 0.
The local gpu’s show the information correctly, it is the remote miners that do not.
Can I get a link to the pervious version?
Can you see the GPU's on the System tab? Is "Map to system monitoring" enabled on the GPU tab? Update: I worked with @BaelCorvus on a similar case above and it turned out that if you use the AMD Blockchain Beta drivers, the latest Awesome Miner version may not list the AMD GPU's. Are you also using these drivers? No they are not shown. Yes, map is enabled. Yes, the remote machine all have the Blockchain drivers. I have not updated them as I have not had time to troubleshoot in case anything went wrong. I was able to reproduce and correct this scenario with the Blockchain Beta drivers. It will be corrected in a new release that soon will be released. In general I don't think the Blockchain drivers are considered to be that great and they are still only Beta. My understanding is that the changes introduced in the Blockchain drivers are already included in more recent Adrenalin drivers. For those using Native Overclocking with Awesome Miner, the Blockchain Beta drivers are not supported - simply because these drivers doesn't allow third party applications do overclocking in a good way. |

Just downloaded new version (6.4) and the associated Awesome Miner Remote Agent.
The remote miner here has 10 Nvidia and 2 AMD cards installed.
Before the update all cards were recognised by Awesome Miner.
After the update I can only see the 10 Nvidia cards. (Under the GPU selection in the Managed profit Miners section no AMD cards appear)
I have restarted both the Miner and the PC with Awesome miner on it and checked the AMD cards do appear in the device manager and in Afterburner.
Is this a bug of 6.4?
The GPU selection list should only be filtered based on mining software for Managed Miners - for Managed Profit Miners you should be able to see both nVidia and AMD. Can you please select the miner in the main window and click on the Systems tab at the bottom of the screen. Are the AMD devices listed here? If not, can you please send me your Remote Agent log file (toolbar: Tools -> Log File -> Remote Agent) for this system? Thanks! |

Version 6.3.8 (Development preview of 6.4) GPU mining - The mining software can be configured to run with Admininstrator privileges. Configurable in the Properties of the miner, Environment section. Features - When adding predefined pools, the feature to automatically setup a Managed Miner will prompt for host to run the mining (if multiple hosts are available) and also prompt for mining software to use (if multiple mining software supports the algorithm) User interface - The New Pool button in the main window includes the feature to add predefined pools Integration - Added Nicehash CuckooCycle pool. Currently only supported by NBMiner. - Added Zpool region for Japan Mining software - WildRig Miner 0.16.1 - NBMiner 23.2 - TT-miner 2.2.3 To get access to development versions, open the Options dialog in Awesome Miner. In the General section, enable Check for development versions. Then go to the Menu and click Check for updates. Direct download links if needed: https://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMiner.msihttps://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi The link you include in this version for NBminer doesn't work, they released a hot fix with this link https://github.com/NebuTech/NBMiner/releases/download/v23.2.1/NBMiner_23.2_hotfix_Win.zipA small bug of the last update. if active in enviroment that mine with administrator privileges, in AM in console nothing comes out, the mining does not appear. I have checked it several times and it has happened to me in all the rigs. It has been deactivate it and return to see the mining in Console. Now sometimes when I see the console there is a flash, sometimes the information goes away and then it comes back Maybe there is a fault in the Remote that does not pass the data of the miners when they are with administrator permissions. I already take the opportunity to suggest ProgpowZ for ttminer, it would be PROGPROWZ_100 although I already know that 101 would be for cuda 10.1. It would be better in my case to use 101 in the TTminer logos, I have the latest creative driver and cuda 10.1 apart from the 10 and the 9.2 There are a few features that currently doesn't work when mixing privileges between Awesome Miner (or Remote Agent) and the mining software - because it's a more complex setup to support. If you run both Remote Agent and the mining software with the same privileges (either both are non-admin or both are admin), it should all be fine. The limitations show up with the new setting that allows you to mix the privileges by running Remote Agent as standard user and the mining software with Administrator privileges. Right now it's the Console view and the Diagnostics that doesn't work with mixed privileges, but I will try to find a way to solve that. I will go ahead and add ProgPowZ for TT-Miner. It also looks like TT-miner can auto select the CUDA version to use these days, so I will go ahead and change the algorithm names from for example "MTP-100" to only "MTP" and let TT-miner pick the CUDA version for you. When I test TT-miner it selects CUDA 10.1 for those algorithms where it's available. Can you please also give this a try when the new development release is available? Thanks! |

The second generation of Obelisk SC1 miners doesn't provide any complete standard interface for monitoring. It doesn't include hashrate and a number of other important properties that you would expect from an ASIC miner. This is why it show up in Awesome Miner with just some information. This worked fine with the first generation of these miners, but then they decided to no longer support this way of monitoring their miners. According to the guys writing the firmware for them their API will allow all this information and alot more. This is the problem - they invented their own API instead of following the standard CgMiner API's for monitoring and management of ASIC miners. It would be better if they simply fix the hashrate reporting over the CgMiner API. Then they would have an ASIC miner compatible with all existing monitoring tools on the market and everyone would be happy. From an Awesome Miner point of view it would of course be possible to implement any custom ASIC API, including this one, but it's a matter of priorities given that it may not be a small task. |

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rpnbqhv17lcytdu/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202019-05-08%20a%20las%2020.39.05.png?dl=0Hello PAtrike I leave you a capture with URL format to not occupy space in the post. It is a small problem with the native OC, I already realized a while ago but now they are asking me a lot in the telegram group and I decided to notify them. As you will see in the capture in a rig of 6 RTX 2080, all buy at the same time in the same batch, same model, same bios. I mean 6 exactly the same cards. How can it be that applying a native OC profile, some have the highest core, and others the lowest core ?, and even the voltages change but that does not worry me much, the voltage does not touch it. But if it is very rare, that if I apply an OC, some cards remain in 1600 and others exceed 1750 of the clock, when all supposedly the same OC is applied to it. As a result it happens that many times the miner fails and restarts, it is not serious but annoying and the only way is to lower the OC of the whole rig, at the cost of losing power to have stability. I did the test with Aftherburner and being all the same, they were all at the same core speed. That does not happen with the native OC, which seems to apply some cards if not others, and I do not understand. The great advantage of the native OC is its ease, but I already made it clear that the work with fans does not work, and you will see the amount of complaints that you will have in summer, I only use Aftherburner for the control of fans. Check the programming of the native Oc. Because I can understand that if I have a rig with several brands, that's what happens. But having the same model bought at the same time in the same batch, with the same bios, in the same machine. Because some rise more the core and others do not? What I do not want is to use the MSI server again for the OC. Given that everything else is the same in terms of mining algorithm and software, it would be interesting to see if there are any differences in the GPU clocking settings when Awesome Miner reads them from the nVidia driver. Can you open the GPU clocking dialog in Awesome Miner and click the View GPU Details button to generate a full report of the GPU settings. Please do this once after you set the clocking with MSI Afterburner and once after you set the clocking with Native Overclocking. Any differences in these two reports? I do the tests you want, but I can not understand it with the automatic translation. If you give me a capture of that option, I'll understand. But I do not get to understand it well, sorry I will first do a few more tests myself. I will get back to you if I need more information. Thanks for your questions about this. I think I need some guidance from you or someone else with MSI Afterburner skills here related to how to lock the Core clock based on the behavior described above. What Awesome Miner and most nVidia clocking tools do is to set the Core Clock Boost, which is a way to increase or decrease the Core Clock frequency relative a base line. It's an offset like -50MHz or +75MHz. The nVidia GPU boost feature will then use this as input when setting the Core Clock speed, and this speed can change any second based on many factors. I've tested with nVidia P104 and nVidia 2080. No matter how I set the Core Clock setting in MSI Afterburner, it still behaves like when I'm clocking via Awesome Miner with a Core Clock speed that isn't constant during mining. If I use algorithms like Neoscrypt, I see Core clock variations all the time. If I use memory heavy algorithms like Ethereum or Phi2, the Core clock is however much more stable. Same behavior no matter if I change the Core Clock via Awesome Miner or via MSI Afterburner. Did I miss something in MSI Afterburner to get another behavior? Are there any other clocking tools like nVidiaInspector that also would behave like MSI Afterburner or is MSI Afterburner the exception here? I know that the core can vary a bit, that is normal, it is not exact all the time. That's not the problem. The problem that using 6 equal cards, some always have the higher core than others. They all oscillate a bit inside your watch. But it is not the same to oscillate between 1600-1650 all the time, and that other similar cards are oscillating between 1720 and 1770. Always the same cards. I mean, I know that the core can oscillate a bit, I see it in the cards, but some are placed in a higher core and oscillate there, and others are in a lower core oscillating there. When the OC is the same for all and they are exactly the same card purchased in the same lot. If you look again at my capture that you leave, you will see that for example the memory frequency is exact on all the cards. But you will see cards in 1600 core and oscillate there, and others that do not fall below 1720 oscillating there. I would understand that, if they were cards of different brands, because I myself have rigs with multi brand cards, and there I can not comment. I comment the case when all the cards are the same, and accepting their oscillation of Core, some for whatever reason, they are placed higher and others below, a difference of +100 in core I do not see it right. In Aftherburner I saw the oscillation too, but they were all in a range of core closest to each other. In any case, I only report what happens to me and to other people in my telegram group. If it can be fixed well, if not, then we will continue like this, I will not remove the native OC because I like it a lot, except for the control of FAN, which is why I use Aftherburner. If this can be improved then better. If this is so and you can not do anything, then I'm satisfied. I love native OC, I only intend to help with my observations and I can not always guess what I say. Also thinking a bit, I do not know to what extent the chipset of the motherboard can influence in this sense, in its internal handling of the PCI. Anyway, if you Patrike, after investigating it, believe that everything is fine, because it is already there, I accept it, it will be like that. In general there can be variations on a chip level between GPU's even if it's the same model and brand. This goes for both GPU's and CPU's and is also the reason why some GPU's/CPU's can clock higher or get lower temperature than others - even if it's the exact same model. In overclocking competitions they hand pick their CPU's for a reason. For GPU's you can actually see the "ASIC Quality" value in the TechPowerUp GPU-Z tool, on the Advanced tab (although I don't know how accurate this number is). Anyway, thanks for all feedback. Although there could be something Afterburner do different than Awesome Miner here, I don't think we will be able to find out what that would be. In general it also looks like the clocking set by Awesome Miner works fine. Also thanks to @moppidoo and @joseph32 for all good information and feedback. |
