I do see three different ways for this implementation:
1) Show the coins, even those not matching any Exchange Filter or Exchange Volume settings, but set the Revenue to zero
2) Show the coins, even those not matching any Exchange Filter or Exchange Volume settings, but set the Revenue to zero for the profit switcher and when mining, but show the reported Revenue (although it might be unrealistic) on the Coins tab and indicate it with a gray color
3) Simply hide the coins that doesn't match the Exchange Filter or Exchange Volume settings. It will not be visible on the Coins tab and not possible to select for a mining pool.
Which one would be preferred? Highlight color (gray / red) but leaving prices I concur (method (2)), since it's a new feature, and we might need to refer to the original (potential unrealistic) data to tweak the filtering value to each one's own liking - globally or individually. The highlighting will make it easy for us to pickup and gauge if the filtering are too aggressive or otherwise too relaxed. Thanks for the comments. This is another preview of what it looks like at the moment:  I have Binance enabled for BTG only and TradeSatoshi enabled globally. XSG doesn't exist on TradeSatoshi and for this reason, the exchange with the highest price, Stex, is displayed in gray because it doesn't match the exchange filter. The minimum volume is configured to be 5 BTC in this example. For this reason ZEL and BTCZ are displayed with gray color for the exchange volume. If either the exchange filter or the minimum volume didn't match for a coin - the Revenue and Profit columns will also be gray. These three coins with gray Revenue/Profit will have a Revenue of zero when considered by the profit switcher and when mining. |

Hey Patrike, I'm using some custom miner software that AM detects as being locked up, even though it isn't. Is there anyway we can get a manual override for hang detection? Like increase the interval to X number of seconds?
When Awesome Miner is starting a mining process, it will keep track of the Process ID (PID) of the started software. It will then monitor this PID all the time and as soon as there are no process running with this PID, Awesome Miner will assume that the mining process has crashed and will automatically restart it. So it's not really about a process that is hanging it's about if the process exists at all (should be possible to confirm via the Windows Task Manager, where the PID column can be used). There are currently no feature configure around this behavior. Is it that just a few seconds after you start the mining process, Awesome Miner think that it isn't running? Then it must use some strange behavior where it launches a second process that Awesome Miner isn't aware of and terminates the original executable. Are you launching the mining executable right away or is it via some batch file? Sometimes GPU mining software uses watchdogs where they do their own crash detection, but this should be disabled as Awesome Miner should take care of that instead. So it doesn't look to detect if it's 'not responding' or something like that through Windows? When it initializes it sits there for awhile and looks like it hangs after it's started, but will start mining like a normal miner after about 10s. AM doesn't wait for it and seems to close it. I'm currently using a batch to launch it, but there isn't anything special in it I haven't included. I have it added as a generic miner in AM as well. Watching task manager it shows up as 'suspended' before it closes. It doesn't do that when I run it from the batchfile. It's not looking for "Not responding". What might happen here is that Awesome Miner launches your batch file, and the batch execution terminates quite fast - and this is the only process that is being monitored by Awesome Miner. Awesome Miner is not aware of any additional processes that is started from your batch file. Can you try to launch the exe-file right away instead? If you need to run additional batch commands you can do that via the Properties of the miner, Command Line section, using one of the fields for batch commands. |

On the topic of coins and exchanges - here is a preview what's currently in the pipeline:  This illustrates how you can open the Properties for a coin in the Coins tab, and select specific exchanges for the coin. The two settings for exchange filtering in the Options dialog (one for CoinCalculators and one for CoinToMine) will be replaced by a single global setting that applies for both of them. It will be configured in the same way as for an individual coin - a list of exchanges where you can select one or many of them. This looks very impressive @patrike! However this involves quite a bit of micromanagement and could I ask if there's some way we can customize prioritization/filtering based on trading volume as a macro management alternative? Karl at CTM.today has volume filtering on his main calculator, but say I want to have all sh*tcoins showing and use the already available volume information to give weighting on all coins, then use the exchange filtering out only ones with exchanges that are either unrealistic, on wrong chain, long terminactive wallets etc. Edit: To elaborate, weighting based on volume would be built in statistical formula of choice to provide reasonable medium trading price, so once AM adopted a children formula, it's automatically applied. But I hope there's something we can do to setup rule that interacts with volume. Consider that CTM is heavily speculative mining centric and have quite a bit of low volume coins. I'd like to see that a rule such as If coins per day / total traded volume is some number then apply certain action (such as profitability factor) Or to do with performance history, same as above trigger, but also to not mine that coin for more than xxx hours per 24 hour period (something Mark pool inactive as if no accepted shares) Nothing urgent but just getting ideas rolling since the data has been made available and just exploring possible ways to exploit to maximize investment returns for those of us still mining and trying to survive through this crypto winter. :p certainly moppidoo CTM focuses on a speculative market of currencies that are dying. You are mining 33 satochis and when you go to sell they are worth 3 satochis. It's fine as a complement. It also brings some coins that we were missing as CLG and some more. They themselves have said in their discord that they will do something so that we can specify in the API the volume level of the coins In the next release I'm planning to support Exchange Filtering for CoinCalculators and CoinToMine as a single global setting and also make it possible to override the Exchange Filter per individual coin (as in the screenshot earlier). It's only these two coin providers that provides exchange information over the API at the moment. Volume filtering will be supported for WhatToMine, CoinCalculators and CoinToMine. It will be a single global setting for all of them. Weighted Average will be supported later on as well, but not in the next release already. A question for both @moppidoo, @trucobit and anyone else with suggestions on the implementation: Right now the Exchange Filtering is not removing any coins, it's simply setting the Revenue to zero (option #1 below) if no matching exchange can be found. The coin will still show up in the Coins tab and can be used for mining pools. I'm planning to do the same for the Volume Filtering, so if the volume is too low, the Revenue will be considered zero. I do see three different ways for this implementation: 1) Show the coins, even those not matching any Exchange Filter or Exchange Volume settings, but set the Revenue to zero 2) Show the coins, even those not matching any Exchange Filter or Exchange Volume settings, but set the Revenue to zero for the profit switcher and when mining, but show the reported Revenue (although it might be unrealistic) on the Coins tab and indicate it with a gray color 3) Simply hide the coins that doesn't match the Exchange Filter or Exchange Volume settings. It will not be visible on the Coins tab and not possible to select for a mining pool. Which one would be preferred? |

Btw, thank you Patrike for this marvelous software that AM is and the continued feature additions, development and support, just in case you'd have holiday plans for the festive season (wouldn't want to be late sending greetings and best wishes), wish you a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you very much! I will be around this week as well and then be a little less available a couple of days around Christmas. In Sweden we celebrate Christmas on December 24th, but I do know that in US and many other countries the main day of celebration is on the 25th. Merry Xmas! |

Volume filtering is also in the pipeline. I implemented it for WhatToMine yesterday and then I also got an e-mail from the CoinToMine owner suggesting that it should be added. In fact, I should probably make the volume filter a single setting that applies to all these coin sources - just like the global exchange filter. I assume there are not really any scenarios why you would like different volume filters on the different sources (WhatToMine, CoinCalculators, CoinToMine, ...)? |

CoinToMine provides API access to the database with JSON responses.
API Request Limits and Allocations
To prevent server overload and provide good quality of service, CoinToMine limits the API call usage. The limits imposes time intervals for how often a client can send requests on the API. The API cache is 900 seconds (15 minutes). Thank you for not updating the same API more frequently because it will be useless. Interval call with valid API Key is 15 seconds. Interval call without valid API Key is 3600 seconds or 60 minutes. For API requests using private API Key, you can make up to 5760 requests per day. Authenticated requests are associated with the private API Key. This means that a user share the same quota of requests per day when they authenticate with the same API Key on different computers. For unauthenticated requests, the rate limit allows for up to 24 requests per day. Unauthenticated requests are associated with the originating IP address, and not the user making requests.
API Keys are free for Friendly Pools and Donors. To obtain an private API Key, you need to contact us on Discord .
---------------------
15 minutes of waiting between requests seems to me exaggerated. I will see for the premium api I hope it is not a monthly payment.
Maybe you should set a separate data update time for each coin supplier.
Awesome Miner will automatically honor the API limits of 15 seconds (very unlikely to refresh that often anyway) and 60 minutes when using CoinToMine - no matter what the user has configured as update interval. Please also note that the API for CoinToMine is quite new and it might be that they will support faster cache refresh times than 15 minutes in the future - based on user feedback. I also think that the overall quality of the data will be improved based on user feedback. |

Where do you enter power usage info for the dashboard to calculate profit after power usage?
Please start by opening the Options dialog in Awesome Miner. You can ether define power usage globally in the Algorithms section, or if you have many miners with different power usage, you can define it in the Profit Profile section. |

Awesome Miner version 6.0.5
ASIC mining
- Antminer operations, for example setting the API access or default pools, will display more detailed error messages if any operations are failing. The user interface will indicate if it was a connection failure or authentication failure.
Features
- Display of power usage and profit per day and month on the dashboard of the Windows application.
- Show up to 16 device temperatures in the Status column
Integration
- Added coin statistics source: CoinToMine.today. Entering an API key is optional but if provided the coin statistics will be updated more frequently.
User interface
- Moved power summary per group from the Coin column to the Speed column
One limitation for CoinToMine is related to when the exchange filter is being changed. Right now it will only apply those filter the setting next time the coin data is refreshed via the CoinToMine API. This will be improved later on to apply the filtering right away.
A comment on why the power summary is moved to the Speed column and also displayed on the Dashboard. There are ongoing development for reading GPU data like power usage both for AMD and nVidia GPU's, independent of what mining software being used. The plan is to display the total power usage for each miner in the Speed column (it might change name).

As it now looks like GPU mining is over, new generation of FPGA-s taking over, the BCU1525 and CVP-13, they produce the HR of 10+ 1080TIs, they already operating, so the question is if there is any possibility to support those via AM, load the bitstreams and so on.
I'm not familiar with these kind of devices. Are the software controlling them running on the FPGA device itself with a web interface for controlling it, or do you run any control software on your computer that connect to these devices? It would be interesting to find out if these devices provides any monitoring interfaces (API) where Awesome Miner could connect to get mining information. |

@patrike I do not want to be heavy but I remember.
It is urgent to be able to choose the Exchange for each currency. With this situation so bearish, result that there are many exchanges that have coins listed but have wallet blocked, some if not others
A very simple example. XVG is in Cryptobridge and is the price that AM gives me, but that price of 190, is very different from the one that gives Crex24 of 169 that there if the currency works.
It is happening to me more and more times and it is a tremendous pain to have to be juango with the profit. THE idea already know when defining the pool of the currency, also in a drop down to be able to choose the exchange among the available, if none is chosen, use the exchange that gets more money as it does right now
I would not insist, but I've been reporting it for a month now, and with this bear market it happens every time in many more HDAC, BTX, DNR, RVN currencies, and in others that I do not use continuously.
It is also because if there is little difference I should join more coins in the same exchange to avoid FEE transfers later. But mainly it is because they are mining at a not real price and I can not choose the exchange. It is not a difficult job but you will have your work hours to collect those exchanges and their prices and put the drop down in each pool.
I hope you are taking it more and more into account, because this is hurting me a lot and make me have to work more to see if it goes or not, if you pay less the other calculate a change of approximate profir that then in two days it is no longer valid etc ... I see it very necessary to incorporate it.
I'm sorry to be so insistent, but I live to 50% of the cryptomineria and I'm many hours with it.
exactly, this is happening even with bigger coins like BCH. This really is a must, small exchanges suffer from unreal P&D.... Hi Patrike, Since this has been brought up a few times, I think a potential solution/workaround for this is maybe you can implement average/weighted price based on traded volume via the CoinCalculator's API, then apply the weighted factor to the bid/ask price, what do you think? 1) Specify exchange per coin. Right now there isn't a general Exchange concept in Awesome Miner, so when you globally filter on the exchanges provided CoinCalculators, it's basically a string matching you do. If you specify a filter "CryptoBridge" it will match the exchange named "CryptoBridge" as part of the CoinCalculators data. If CoinCalculators was the only coin source, it would be possible to implement a similar filter concept per Coin as well, allowing the user to enter "CryptoBridge" for a specific coin. Soon you will have support for additional coin sources - CoinToMine will be added today for example. I've implemented a similar global filter for the exchanges for CoinToMine, but the exchange names provided by CoinToMine are different compared to CoinCalculators. You will for example have "Crypto-bridge.org" as an exchange instead of "CryptoBridge" as reported by CoinCalculators.io. One workaround would be for the user to specify "CryptoBridge, Crypto-bridge.org" for as exchanges for a specific coin if you use multiple coin sources. Any future coin source provides might give this exchange yet another name, increasing the complexity. Another solution would be to allow partial matching like "bridge", but that's not very predictable. I'm open to suggestions here. 2) Weighted price based on volume. This is also a good point, mainly for solving the issue if a single exchange with low volume presenting strange prices. |

Patrike -- any new news on your planned USB Linux project? Thanks
Right now the Remote Agent for Linux is only provided as a standalone application. A full USB distribution would be nice, but it would be quite an effort to develop and maintain so even if it might be supported in the future, it will not be supported any time soon. There are a number of users running Remote Agent on top of some of the existing Linux mining distributions. |

Anyone able to get UBIQ-HASH to work with awesomeminer and PHX 4.0B? Anytime I use it, specifying -coin ubq in extra commands, it get a "Wallet not found or missing" when the miner starts everything is correctly, I can mine ETH just fine using 4.0B just not UBQ-HASH.
Some mining pools requires the username or wallet to be passed in the "Worker name" field while other requires you to use the "Wallet address" field in the Pool Properties. Can you test both combinations unless the pool documentation specify which one to use? Even if you have something that looks like a username, some pools still require you to pass this as the wallet (or the other way around). |

Last night I uploaded the file to my dropbox and I shared it so I could use it in custom, since it did not work for me, so I asked you to upload it to your service. But I keep giving the same error.
I've put your URL in Z-enemy's Custom and it gives me the error. If I hit the url, the miner is actually downloaded
What puzzles me is the error that the miner does not find, but really if the miner is inside the zip. There will be no problem with the custom system? Before, it worked very well.
I have to wait for his next AM update to be able to use the 1.27
Worked fine for me, using Patricke's link provided above. I just copied and pasted the link into the custom download URL for that managed software. No other changes anywhere else. Regards, ...jim Edit: I see you are using the remote agent. I am not. Perhaps that is where the issue lies. I have used this function many times, so I ask for the link to Patrike. Yesterday night I tried to do it myself with my Dropbox of payment that if it allows to do direct download, and it gave me the same error, I do not know if that has influenced. I have a machine only destined to have running Awesome miner, it is in the same network and it is not a miner. This machine controls the 6 rigs that are in the basement of the house, but in the same network. It is the first time that using the link of patrike and Custom, has given me problems. I do not know if my failed tests yesterday night with dropbox are causing. Anyway I can wait a few days to update the program. I just want to comment that maybe there is a problem with the remote agent. But for me it is not a problem to wait a few days. The best way to help the programmer is reporting possible failures. Have you tried to delete both the folder and zip file from your remote rigs? C:\Users\truco\AppData\Roaming\AwesomeMinerService\ if not, try deleting them and let AM download again, to see which version of the binary downloaded from your links are causing the issue. Most likely the zip downloaded is corrupted and AM just created the folder anyway, but actual executable isn't there. Good points. Deleting will force Awesome Miner do re-download and re-extract everything and I agree with the point that the downloaded ZIP-file probably was invalid in some way. A change of URL to a ZIP-file with the same name will not resolve the issue. It's also possible to perform the cleanup operation via the Diagnostics dialog. If you click the Advanced button there is an option to perform a cleanup of all downloaded mining software. What Awesome Miner is doing when you start a miner is to look if the executable already exists. For @trucobit that would be: C:\Users\truco\AppData\Roaming\AwesomeMinerService\z-enemy.1-27-cuda10.0_1\z-enemy.exe If the file doesnt' exist, Awesome Miner will look for an already downloaded ZIP-file for this mining software. In this case: C:\Users\truco\AppData\Roaming\AwesomeMinerService\z-enemy.1-27-cuda10.0.zip If the ZIP-file is found, Awesome Miner will extract the content and then run the mining software. If the ZIP-file cannot be found, Awesome Miner will first download it. Looking at these folders and testing the zip-file manually are good troubleshooting steps if you are interested in finding out where it failed. |

Another quirky request, please add 'temperature limit' as well as 'unhooking TDP and Temp' to the system > gpu settings > miner dialogue in the AB settings. Asked for this before a long time ago, but I think this got buried. The option is available and present in Afterburner when you click the down arrow on the normal screen, but not in AM.
Also please consider moving GPU settings to it's own tab in the hot bar in the center of the miner along with the other dialogue boxes. A lot of those boxes I don't even use except for note, console, and occasionally summary. That along with the addition of properties > command line > parameters would streamline things a lot.
Temperature Limit is not exposed over the MSI Afterburner Remote Server and cannot be supported for that reason. Which property in MSI Afterburner is the unhook-setting you are referring to? Once Awesome Miner will get native OC support, Temperature Limit should be fully possible to support. At the same time the OC features are getting integrated in a better way, they will also be much faster and it would be possible to put them on a separate tab like you suggest. |
