I also noticed that on the dashboard screen, it shows my active miners as one number but under active devices, under "ASIC" it has the wrong value - my guess is that it relates to the T15, like it sees it as an active miner but not as an ASIC for some reason.

Before I made the change for Antminer T15 in the recent development release 6.2.9, the ASIC count wasn't including this miner like you describe. However, this should be working fine since the latest development version.

sorry but maybe I am misunderstanding - are you saying it should be corrected now? or will be corrected with next update? I have no updates to install and says it is using most current version but I do not see the temps for the T15 nor do I see it counted as an ASIC on the dashboard screen.

The device count should be fine in development version 6.2.9, released a few days ago. Version 6.2.8 is the latest public release - but you can upgrade to 6.2.9 in this way:
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.

You can confirm your current version in the lower left corner of the Awesome Miner main application.

Still having the API disconnect every few minutes as well. sometimes it reconnects other times I have to reboot all the miners. I may have to stop using AM and find another way to report miner details. I feel that with all the reboots that I am just losing money because the miners are being stopped and rebooted simply so AM can see them - when in fact they are working fine.

For the Antminer API - did you follow my previous suggestion about testing with a completely different mining pool?

I've had a number of cases in the past where some specific mining pools could cause the problems you describe with miners showing up as Disconnected after a while - although they still were mining on the pool. What happens here is an issue on the Antminers when mining on some pools begin to respond slower and slower to monitoring applications (API requests). After a while the responses are so slow (or not given at all) that Awesome Miner will simply consider the miner to be Disconnected.

Please note that this is an issue on the Antminer under certain conditions - not an Awesome Miner issue. For this reason you will run into the same issues even if you would test with another monitoring solution.

This is also why I keep answer with the same suggestion all the time, about doing troubleshooting and testing with another mining pool, so we can confirm the issue. Thanks!

There is one setting in Awesome Miner that might help a bit, where you can have Awesome Miner wait longer for the responses from the Antminer. Please go to the Options dialog, Advanced section, and increase the "Miner API connection timeout" to 10 seconds for example. This will however not solve the main problem, only make it show up less frequent. You can try this if you want, but my main suggestion is still about the mining pool.

Hi Patrike,

Regarding dynamic loading from local coin node's JSON-RPC which uses POST, can you give an example on whether it is possible to read the data with current v6.2.9 release please?

what I'm trying to achieve is via the built-in JSON-RPC with the example:

Code:

curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getinfo", "params": [] }' 
    -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://USER:RPCPASS@HOST:PORT/

now I can get it to work by testing it using the Servistate Chrome Extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/servistate-http-editor-re/mmdjghedkfbdhbjhmefbbgjaihmmhkeg)

but I'm not sure exactly how to parse this via AM's interface

Thanks in advance!

I looked into this scenario and there was no way of including the username and password in the HTTP authorization header.

I've just added support for entering a username and password for the HTTP request and tested it with a local wallet - and it works fine.

I've also updated the documentation for this, although you cannot use it until the next development release is available. Please see "Load coin difficulty from local wallet software via JSON-RPC API":

Patrick, hello.

I have when requesting a manual API http://explorer.choosebitcash.com/api/getdifficulty
issues the HTML PUBLIC DOCTYPE "- // W3C // DTD HTML 4.01 // EN"
"http://Http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<Html>

<Head>
<title> BitCash Explorer </ title>
<meta name = "description" content = "">
<meta name = "keywords" content = "">
</ head>
<frameset lines = "100%, *" border = "0">
<frame src = "http: //188.165.217.191ific001/api/getdifficulty" frameborder = "0" />
</ frameset>

</ html>

When requested with CoinCalculators.io [?(@.Name=='Litecoin')].CurrentDifficulty
always one answer "Unable to read value"

Request Provider: WhatToMine
JSON property expression: coins.Litecoin.difficulty - I get data on all coins

When I request https://explorer.zcha.in/v2/mainnet/network, I get a response with the data, but on top of “Unable to read value”

The idea is very cool. Well done.

Thanks for all feedback.

1) I noticed the example in the documentation for BitCash didn't work out-of-the-box.
Instead you have to enter the following URL that provides the plain value:

Code:

http://188.165.217.191:3001/api/getdifficulty

I've updated the documentation for this as well. Thanks for letting me know

2) For CoinCalculators and Litecoin - the JSON properties are actually case sensitive.
Please change your configuration from:

Code:

[?(@.Name=='Litecoin')].CurrentDifficulty

to:

Code:

[?(@.name=='Litecoin')].currentDifficulty

3) From what I can see, the Zcash API example works fine. Which property did you try to load?
You do need to specify a JSON property expression like "difficulty" or similar.

http://explore.placeh.io:8080/api/getdifficulty

I have this fault, which is foreign to AM. It is to obtain the difficulty of a coin. If you run the url in a browser it looks good, but then in AM you see that it also gets the Google Analytics code, Google's free statistics system

But the first line corresponds to the difficulty. I leave it to you in case there is some easy way that you can solve it, as some option to just read the first line, or ignore a scrypt if it has "google" inside as a name. Any option is valid.

This being very useful, there are coins that according to the providers to the explorer there a huge difference. The most realistic difficulty data apart from the explorer, is WTM.

I hope something can be done.

I looked up this one in Chrome dev tools and it's returning a HTML page with a Javascript.

In a web browser this will just look like a number, but it's both HTML and Javascript just like you pointed out.

From an Awesome Miner point of view the information is downloaded but contains much more than just a plain number. A bit strange that they call this an API (in the URL) where it's also including HTML in the response.

I will have to investigate if this can be supported in a good way.

Update: I took your advice and only look on the first line if there are multiple lines for plain text sources. A correction to support these kind of URL's will be included in the next release. No additional configuration will be required, it will just work.

IF it is not used then better. But it is informative to see the health of the currency, to see how much hash there is and to determine if it is worthwhile to enter, or simply to observe its change.

IF it is not fundamental for the currency, do not bother. I am really grateful and enjoying the personalized data, some currencies change very fast and to enter before to mine it that other bots that are based on Yiimp data is already an advantage. With this we already have control of the coins that we mine. And also to be able to mix data taking them from other suppliers. There are coins that your Explorer does not show in difficulty, because they do not have API, so I get it from CC, but I use the CTM prices. Yes, you have made my mining group very happy and personally, we already have some 50 custom coins

A detail, in the update says that coins with something modified would be marked in blue or something similar. I do not see that, even to a currency that I have put the price by hand, does not mark anything in the list of coins that tell me that it is modified. I say it to review it, I am more than happy with everything else.

@PAtrike Now we can even add new coins, obtaining price and difficulty by api URL. But there is one thing that we can not define and that is as easy as putting an extra field. THE blocktime. It is important because it determines how many blocks a day are generated and I suppose it would be important for AM calculations.

If I could add that simple field, we can now add coins directly as before with AM CU.

I feel like I'm always asking for something ...

Awesome Miner only uses Difficulty, Block Reward, Exchange rate and Exponential factor to calculate coins per day and the revenue for a coin. That's all properties needed to do all the calculations in Awesome Miner.

The other properties like NetHash and Block Time are not required at all - they are only displayed for information purposes. This is also the reason why it's never been possible to manually modify these properties.

About the blue text for coins. It's only on the Coins tab you will see the coin name displayed in blue color in the 'Coin' column - if the coin has custom properties. As soon as you have enabled "Change Properties" for a coin, it should show up with blue name. It may not be that easy to see the small color change, but it should be there.

...

Thank you Patrike for the dynamic coin properties update feature, it's simply amazing! Going to test it out for a few days and see if it have significant effect on mining efficiency/luck, will let you know! Wink

Thanks for the great feedback. It's intended to be quite flexible, but it also requires some work to find and enter all data sources.

Hi Patrike,

I'm trying to write a custom C# Script that sends a "reboot by IP" request. What is the way to get the host IP of a host that has triggered a Rule? Is it included in List<IMinerBase>?

I need to run a Script like this:

Code:

using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.Collections.Specialized;

public class ActionScript
{
	private ContextProvider Context = ScriptManager.Context;
	
	public bool Execute(List<IMinerBase> list)
	{
			foreach (var miner in list)
			{
				String ipToReset = // I need the IP of the miner that has triggered the rule or its host name 
				
				using (var wb = new WebClient())
            		{
                		var response = wb.DownloadString("http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx/?IP=" + ipToReset + "&RESET=");
            		}
			}
		return true;
	}
}

Please use the following. It will return the IP address or hostname you have configured for your miner.

Code:

string ipToReset = (miner as MinerBase).GetHostname();

Totally awesome. We already have an online document with the URLS and the name Json to extract the difficulties and also of many currencies the price of the exchange.

It's a big change, more complex than I suggested, but more complete. I already have about 20 personalized coins, being able to read the difficulty in real time gives me an advantage without delay.

Thank you very much for attending to the requests of the users.

I have noticed that there is no option to add the URL for nethash, it would be perfect. While you do not have it, you will read it from the provider.

Thanks for the nice feedback on this new feature.

Nethash has never been configurable for a coin in Awesome Miner because it isn't used for the revenue calculations. It can however be a good insight when mining, especially now when coin properties can be dynamically updated with custom data sources. I understand your point that Nethash also could make sense to support.

Version 6.2.9 (Development preview of 6.3)

Mining softare
- PhoenixMiner 4.2c, including ProgPow support
- TT-Miner 2.2.0

the auto-generated config for PhoenixMiner+ProgPoW sets wrong protocol type for the pool.

Code:

POOL: stratum+tcp://progpow.mine.zergpool.com:3200, WALLET: wallet, PSW: c=BTC, PROTO: 2, ALLPOOLS: 1

PROTO value should be set to 1 here, also COIN: bci should be added.

Thanks for the feedback. I will update Awesome Miner to automatically set these pool properties for Zergpool and ProgPow.

also how do i specify different power consumption rates for different miners - when i change it for one asic it changes it for all my asics and they do not all have the same power consumption

You must create different profit profiles.

i have tried - each time leads to me just screwing something up - I am too ignorant in how this works I think.

i also am having so many issues with cloud services due to that the software keeps requiring me to reboot (30 to 40 a day) my miners just to keep them showing up. I had hoped the software would save time of using google remote desktop to view the miners directly -- works perfectly but requires looking at each one separately so time consuming. but I think it might require less time the reboots. the reboots also lead to considerable down time which is a loss of revenue/profit as miner is working but not hashing during reboot (miners are working while AM reports them as offline)

1) You can define one more Profit Profile in the Options dialog, Profit Profile section. If you create a profile called "Antminer S9" for example, you can enter your hashrate and power usage in this profile. Later on you can right click on a miner and select Properties, where you can set the Profile Profile to be the newly created "Antminer S9" profile.
You can of course assign many miners to use the same Profit Profile, as long as they have similar hashrate and power usage.

2) For the Antminer issues you have reported earlier, my recommendation is still to use the Diagnostics feature and check out if the issue could be the pool as suggested by the troubleshooting guide:
https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000094734-troubleshooting-antminer-and-asic-miners

I fully understand that it can be annoying run into these problems, but it's always a good idea to confirm the exact issue to begin with. Based on your description so far, it sounds like the Antminer monitoring interface isn't responding after a while, but it would be good to get a confirmation on that.

PAtrike this like crazy waiting for your update, where we can specify the url of the Explorer and get the direct difficulty. Today I have been mining a coin, which days ago if the difficulty worked well, but today it stops at a predetermined value and the profit is very high. I have mined badly, that coin has been put and then the difficulty with the coin explorer was more than double

I hope you give priority to that new function, because it is sorely needed. Any function that helps obtain such fundamental data well, will be a great improvement. And I think that right now is the most important for AM, from my point of view.

There will be a development release with the new Dynamic Update feature for Coin Properties - it's not that far away now.

You will find the documentation here:
https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000115480-load-coin-properties-from-a-custom-source

For what I read in documentation, there will not be as you indicated above to be able to add an Explorer url or at least the most popular, to read directly the difficulty in real time there. That would be a very important point.

I mention it because you commented it like that before. There is nothing better than reading the difficulty without delay in the explorer of each coin
example

http://explorer.choosebitcash.com/api/getdifficulty

for me there is no better data provider, the vast majority use Inquidus as the default browser. It would be nice to add the difficulty of this source. Because although CC is more accurate than CTM at this point, nothing is more immediate and real than reading the difficulty of the coin explorer. I know that in all you can not do it because of the type of explorer you use, but in 80 or 90% of the coins you can do it.

What changes the most fundamental data is the difficulty, this data to obtain it directly is a very good bonus. I hope everything can be done from the panel and are not options just for the api.

This is fully supported. This is referred to as a "plain value" in the documentation. You can simply enter a URL like the one above and you don't have to enter anything else - and Awesome Miner will load the difficulty based on the response.

Awesome Miner do however not provide any of these URL's for you - you still need to find a data source and then enter the URL in Awesome Miner.

You are correct that the documentation didn't have any specific example for this scenario, so I will add that as well. Please see the updates on the same documentation link. Thanks for your feedback!

GRacias Patrike. If you do not worry, I'm not maimed, I'll set up the explorer's urls. I use intensely AM.

How much more or less do you think that will launch this update?

A development release will be available within the next 1 - 2 hours.

So I was finally able to catch and collect data on the miners stopping issue I had before.

Both miners are managed profit miners.
The "offline detection" emails were sent at around 11:16:20 (as expected/configured).
The status on the awesome miner manager was "Stopped" (at around 14:40).
There wasn't any miner software running when I VNCed to the miner (at around 14:40).
The miners can mine Equihash 150,5 correctly most of the time(with gminer).
If I'm reading the logs correctly I think awesome miner used bminer but it is configured to use gminer for Equihash 150,5.
I tested setting it to bminer for Equihash 150,5, screenshot below.

I replaced my bitcoin addresses for "xxx" on the logs.
I replaced repeated "nVidia driver version" entries for "..." on the logs.
On the screenshots Z270XP1 uses profit profile 1070-1, Z270XP3 uses profit profile 1070-3

screenshots:
https://imgur.com/a/zr85dwb

logs:
https://pastebin.com/Lzxh4T2Y
https://pastebin.com/AXpRk6mm

I understand the miner software tried to restart 3 times (as configured), I'm not sure what failed but I think awesome miner should just keep going, jump to the next algorithm(retry again x times if needed) or something like that.

Is there any reason bminer was used for Equihash 150,5 when gminer is configured? or maybe I'm misreading the logs?

Thanks

Thanks for the details.

Would it also be possible for your to send me the Awesome Miner log file for the same period of time (around 25/3/2019 11:13)? Please send the log file by mail to make sure no sensitive information is shared. Thanks!

any way to add support to read temps for the Antminer T15's? I can see it when directly on miner UI but AM reads temps as zero.

Can you please send me the API report for this miner and I can review and correct the problem. Please select the T15 miner and go to the toolbar Tools -> API Report and send me the output via mail or PM. Thanks!

Patrick
Describe in more detail the process of installing a second agent on a computer to create a manga CPU and GPU on a single computer

The general concept is that you run the Awesome Miner main application on one computer, and on all other mining computers where you want to do GPU/CPU mining you install one instance of Remote Agent per mining computer.

When you have installed and started the Remote Agent application on the mining computer(s), you can use the "New miner" button in the toolbar to add one or many GPU/CPU mining instances for this mining computer. When selecting "Managed Miner" or "Managed Profit Miner" in the wizard, you can define "Miner host" where you can add a new entry pointing to your remove mining computer.

You can create one Managed Miner for GPU mining and another Managed Miner for CPU mining. Both point to the same "Miner host" where Remote Agent is running.

@patrike besides that I would suggest adding core voltage lock to NVIDIA clocking profiles. that should be easy to implement, with just one NvAPI call.

also I've found a bug with native OC on mixed AMD/NVIDIA rigs - in my case, when applying the profiles for AMD GPUs, some of them like fan speed, fan mode and power limit are applied to NVIDIAs as well.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm actually not familiar with this NVAPI call related to core voltage lock. Do you have any more information about this feature?

If you have a Clocking Profile that contains properties supported by both AMD and nVidia (fan speed and a few more), they will be applied to all GPU's that support these properties. A profile is not specific for AMD or nVidia, it's just a number of GPU properties to be set. You may need to define Group Clocking Profiles on mixed systems, where you define that one Clocking Profile should be applied to the AMD cards and another one to the nVidia cards.
