Does Awesome Miner work with Avalon 741s? If so, what do I need to do to connect to it? Can it connect while my miner is running? Thanks!
Yes. Awesome Miner can connect to the Raspberry Pi unit running Cgminer API, and the miner should be running as well. You can configure this via the Avalon web interface: Status -> CGMiner Configuration. |

Any reason why SP CCMINER was dropped in favor of the other variant? I'm trying to get it to work w/ awesome miner for LBRY but unable to. Well, it sort of works, but I don't get any useful info from the awesome miner client.
I'm trying to not only add new mining software all the time, but also remove some older. Now both Ccminer 2.2 and Ccminer Alexis are supported instead of the older CcMiner SpMod. You can still use the old CcMiner SpMod together with Awesome Miner, by adding it as a Managed Software in the Options dialog. |

It was a similar report here a few days ago. It turns out that the Coinbase API sometimes return very high values. Can you also try to verify this link in the web browser when you see this problem? https://api.coinbase.com/v2/prices/spotI will try to find a way to detect when Coinbase is giving incorrect responses - but I still don't know why they do. |

Really cool program! Is there a chance of getting XMR-Stak added? Cryptonight was basically AMD territory, but XMR-Stak makes it a viable algo for Nvidia now. tpruvot ccminer looks to be the chosen miner for cryptonight but it's WAY behind XMR-Stak. Also, I don't really understand API's, but from what I've read it's how Awesome Miner does it's thing. It needs miners to have one with certain info available? See, told you I don't know much. Is that why ethminer is still not included? If so it's a real shame. I don't like Claymore, but Awesome Miner does look very polished. I just wish there was the sort of freedom to choose miners that NemosMiner offers. However NemosMiner is way more complicated to customize, especially if you don't know powershell. Which I don't. If only the two could meet and have an algo switching baby  It looks like XMR-Stak might have an API (the kind of monitoring interface Awesome Miner uses to connect to the mining software to get information about hashrate and similar), but no documentation about it so I'm not sure what it can do. It's some effort to add support for new mining software, so it this one is getting popular, I will add it. Ethminer doesn't have an API, so there is no way for Awesome Miner to get mining information from that software. Even if Awesome Miner doesn't provide specific support for a specific kind of mining software, you can always use the Generic Miner concept to start and stop the mining from Awesome Miner. However, you will not get any mining statistics. Was this the kind of flexibility you asked for? http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/genericminer.aspx |

Looks like there is an issue with profitability calculations for ethereum (may be just dual mining, not sure) when profit profile groups are used. I've two profiles [just for reproducing the bug] a) GTX1070 - Profit Profile with benchmark values for a single GTX1070 GPU b) SGX001-MINER - Profit Group with GTX1070 profile and count 1 . [This is a simple case made just for reporting the bug. In reality, the group has three profile groups for all the different card types and the bug still exists] A sample log is available @ https://pastebin.com/GVSaSdUuAwesomeMiner reports ethash profit 0.0003611396161 for single GPU profile and 23.7880502519032 for the group. The profits for other algorithms stays more or less the same, as you can see from the log. Many thanks for finding this one. I've implemented a correction that will be included in next version. |

us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com was down today, awesomeMiner doesn't support automatic failOver ?
Please add automatic failover, it's so basic for a successful mining software.
Yes, it does support pool failover, but you need to create a pool group so that it knows what to fail over to. Then in the pool group you set your priorities so it knows which one you prefer over the others. I'm using the profit switcher and Ive entered my username for MiningPoolHub and selected USA for the pool. I understand if I would go with a non-profit switching miner I can use the pools. But when using profit switcher how woud I enable failover to Europe in case USA goes down ? Also, sometimes the API interface is down, is there a rule to detect it ? I often see "interface offline" and it stays this way. I saw a rule to trigger an action when API interface is up but not the other way around. Failover will work if you have more than one pool defined that is supported by the miner currently running You cannot automatically get failover from MPH US to EU. In order to do that, you need to add the MPH EU pools manually and define a Pool Group including them. Then you can add this Pool Group as "Custom pools" in the profit switching configuration. Another alternative if you don't want to add so many pools would be to simply enable Nicehash in the profit switcher, as they have pools for most common algorithms as well. If you don't want to mine on Nicehash in normal case, you can go to Online Services section of the Options dialog and set the Profit Factor of all Nicehash pools to be 0.01 (default is 1, which is 100%). This will make all Nicehash pools look bad from a profit point of view and they will be given very low priority. However, they should still be included when the mining software is started so if the primary pool (MPH) is failing, at least you will have the Nicehash pools as a backup. There are rules to detect if the API is down. See Options dialog, Rules section, and enable Offline Detection. You can configure this rule for how long the API should be down before the rule is triggered. I really don't want to use nicehash pools as backup when Europe is available on MPH while USA is down... Is it possible to implement automatic failover for switching profit for MPH in the next version ? Thanks for the offline detection clarification, I will try that ! That might be added in the future, but it's a bit too specific scenario to get priority in the next versions. I do have a very large number of feature requests, and for this one there is a workaround by using Nicehash as backup. I do appreciate your feedback on this, and I have taken note of your request. I fully agree that this kind of feature would make sense. |

Have you thought about also having a tab to monitor all your masternodes?
I've never received that kind of request before. Is it Dash Masternodes or something else? I have to admit that I'm not really familiar with these concepts. |

Question: I'm evaluating AM by running it directly on my mining rig. If I want to move AM to another PC will the existing AM installation on the miner act as a remote agent or will I need to install the remote agent app? If I do need to install remote agent do I need to uninstall AM first or can they exist in parallel?
You need to install the Remote Agent. You can have both Awesome Miner and the Remote Agent installed on the same computer, but don't connect two Awesome Miners to the same Remote Agent. |

Well the ALLCOINS and ALLPOOLS settings in the Claymore section isn't working again. This is really annoying.
Can you let us know in more detail what isn't working here. If you click the Diagnostics button, can you see that Awesome Miner pass this information to the Claymore miner? Or is it passed to Claymore, but it still doesn't work? Ok I discovered something. If I add ALLPOOLS 1 to the Claymore section of the pool configuration it won't work unless the pool is selected as the default pool for the miner. If the miner is using a different pool and I switch to the other pool it won't take the ALLPOOLS setting. Unfortunately the Diagnostics button appears to only work with the default pool. That made this very difficult to troubleshoot as I couldn't find any way to see the actual command line that was being passed to Claymore unless I made the pool the default pool and of course it works when I do that. So to summarize: - I added ALLPOOLS 1 to the Claymore section. - If my default pool for the miner is some other pool then when I switch to the pool with the ALLPOOLS setting it doesn't work, Claymore complains that I need to set ALLPOOLS or ALLCOINS - If I set the default pool for the miner to this pool it works fine PS. this is DwarfPool's Expanse pool that I'm testing with but the problem should occur on any pool that requires ALLPOOLS or ALLCOINS And just adding the command line argument (in Managed Miner Properties for example) like this, it doesn't work either? -allcoins 1 |

Question regarding upgrade to VER 4.0 :
I used the update/upgrade button within the UI which had a notification about update.
When it performs the upgrade (which looked like it happened) the update notification is still present. Should I install from direct download?
And if I do , should I uninstall current version first?
Also, do I need to manually update the agent software for each rig? I did not see an update option from the agent task button.
Please advise the proper way to update my version (Enterprise last release) I did check FAQs before posting and didn't see anything.
Thank you very much!
UPDATE:
I installed the update using website download and it is working now did not update remote agents yet
If there are pending upgrades for Windows Update, Windows may prevent other installation software from running. The solution is to reboot the computer, where Windows Update will perform the required tasks. After the reboot, it will be possible to upgrade Awesome Miner. In addition to using the upgrade feature inside Awesome Miner, the latest version of the software can also be downloaded and installed from the web site. To upgrade a Remote Agent, select it in the Miners tab in the main window of Awesome Miner and click the Upgrade Remote Service button in the toolbar. |

I imagine that mining is not possible with AMD and Nvidia in the same Rig correct?  Yes you can mix cards. I am currently running two 570s, two 580s, a GTX 1070 and a GTX 1060 in one rig. The only problem I had was with each RX card I added I had to uninstall and reinstall the AMD driver before Windows would work with all the AMD cards. Nvidia cards are so much nicer, they just work, no BIOS modding or anything. If 1070s were < $300 that's all I would use. With Nicehash software there is no problem, so my be is not s a driver problem.  The list on the GPU tab is what the mining software is reporting. That one is not from Awesome Miner (although Awesome Miner tries to fill in information about GPU name, clocking and more). Select this miner and use the toolbar: Tools -> API Report. Please let me know what the first ~15 lines say. About your question of showing profit in mBTC/day as Nicehash. Awesome Miner is only showing the profit information in USD/day. This can be changed to other local currencies or to Bitcoin in Options dialog, Coins&Profit section. However, it will only show the profit information in one currency (USD or BTC or something else), not two or more. |

It happened again, and it quickly restored after 5 mins. I tryed this coinbase address on mining pc with Chrome / Edge few times. I get one line json always, just with btc price!? Got this with Chrome: at 00:13h {"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"ILS","amount":"15098.09"}} at 00:15h {"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"ILS","amount":"15113.67"}} at 00:18h {"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"ILS","amount":"15107.02"}} at 00:20h {"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"USD","amount":"4300.00"}} And with Edge: at 00:21h {"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"USD","amount":"4301.45"},"warnings":[{"id":"missing_version","message":"Please supply API version (YYYY-MM-DD) as CB-VERSION header","url":" https://developers.coinbase.com/api#versioning"}]} Times are CET. OS is Win10 Enterprise Evaluation. I recently updated Awe to v4.0. Before I didn't noticed this. As I don't have Firefox on mining PC, I tried in Firefox on different pc in totally different lan and provider, and I get the same one line reply like Edge/mining pc. Many thanks for providing this information. It looks like the first three times you used Chrome and requested the statistics from Coinbase API, it actually gave you these crazy values. This is the reason why Awesome Miner also displayed high exchange value for BTC, because it looks at the same kind of data that you posted above. This may be just a temporary issue at Coinbase, because there API has been very stable for the last three years. Let's keep an eye on this one for a little while and see if we need to report this to Coinbase. Awesome Miner do support getting Bitcoin exchange rates from Bitstamp as well. You can configure in Options dialog, Statistics section. |

You are right about monitoring protecting me from losses.
However i think that parsing a few values and sending a mail based on those is fair for 35 bucks.
The app will run in the remote-subnet where the miners are so i can only use the gui via RemoteSession.
The "cloud service" (if i got it right the webfrontend to logon) is charged extra on that awesome-miner.
Thats a bit of a bummer for me. Even if i payed the 4$ for their webserver, i needed the "professional" version.
So i pay 70$ once and in a year i pay 48$ for access to a webfrontend.
120$ in the first year.
Awesome Miner is doing a bit more than simply parsing a few values. Even on the Standard Edition you can setup powerful rules for notifications and automation, and there is a large number of other features as well. The new Cloud Services is completely optional and is provided as a service for those that don't want to host their own web interface. You can use your Awesome Miner Standard Edition with the Cloud Services, so there is no need to go for any more expensive edition as in your example above. If you do use Professional Edition of Awesome Miner, you have the built-in web server you can use instead. Using this one, you don't need the Cloud Services at all. So either you host the web interface yourself, or you go for the Cloud Services subscription. Both options are available to make as many people as possible happy. |

Anybody knows how this happened? AM counts with Ether price more than 1000$???
It happened two times today. Prices of btc and eth are wrong, too high, so it gives wrong calculations of profit.
After 30mins prices were ok again. Too good to be true.
I've never seen that before. Awesome Miner is using Coinbase for BTC exchange rate. Next time it happens, can you try to manually open this link in the web browser, which is what Awesome Miner is using to request current rate from Coinbase: https://api.coinbase.com/v2/prices/spot |

I noticed yesterday until the miner's display it showed my miner had 2 hardware errors but when I went to the GPUs tab all of my six GPUs showed zero errors. What's up with that?
This is reported a bit differently depending on mining software. I will assume you use Claymore miner for the moment. This software is capable of reporting hardware errors (or Invalid Shares to be exact). The Claymore miner is however only able to report the total number for the miner, not per GPU. For this reason it can show up as 2 errors in the miner list, but when you look in the GPU list, you will see 0. The reason is that it's simply now known which GPU caused these. |

Please someone could refer an IOS app for the use of the AM API?
Thanks
If you are using the web server feature of AM, then any web browser will do. If you mean a true app that interfaces with the AM API, I'm not aware of any. If you are a good IOS or Android app developer, then I'm sure that would be a neat revenue stream for you. Patrike encourages other developers to create bolt-ons. I'm considering diving into a bolt-on for data mining analysis.
It's correct that the mobile web is the only option right now, as there are no mobile apps. As puwaha pointed out, anyone can develop applications and apps on top of Awesome Miner using the API: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/api.aspxThe Awesome Miner web interface is built on top of this API. |

sorry if this question is already asked. How can I connect Avalon miners to Awesome Miner any instruction ? I put host IP adress to Avalon but it says I have to configure CGMINER how?
Avalon is supported and you can specify it as Cgminer when you add it. To get privileged API access, go to the Avalon configuration tool: Status -> CGMiner Configuration. Enter a rule like this, if Awesome Miner is on the 192.168.x.x network. W:192.168.0.0/16,W:127.0.0.1 How to enable API? I do not understand where is it? 192.168.x.x network. W:192.168.0.0/16,W:127.0.0.1 API Allow(Default: W:127.0.0.1) should I change this to what? I don't have any Avalon miner myself, so I cannot give detailed instructions. But my understanding is that you have some kind of web interface to configure the Avalon, where you will find the CgMiner configuration. Yes, change from W:127.0.0.1 to W:192.168.0.0/16,W:127.0.0.1 |
