Hi,
In order for Awesome Miner to display coin and profit information, it must know which coin you are mining. If you mine on Nicehash, you need set the coin for the pool in Awesome Miner to "Unspecified SHA-256". Awesome Miner will then understand that it's not specific known coin you are mining, but will instead look at the pool URL and see that it's Nicehash and show the profit for Nicehash SHA-256.

Selec the Antminer in the main window of Awesome Miner. Select the Pools tab in the lower part of the screen to view the list of pools. Select the Nicehash pool, click "Define coin" and set "Unspecified SHA-256".

In general, Awesome Miner works fine with all standard compliant miners. Almost all popular ASIC miners do provide a Cgminer compatible API, making it possible to manage and monitor them from Awesome Miner.

I actually don't know about the support for those you list - maybe you can try? You can download and use the free version of Awesome Miner from the web site.

All coins are unfortunately not supported, because Awesome Miner requires a Block Explorer that provides an API in order to get this kind of information. If I'm able to find one, I can of course add support for more coins. A large number of coins are supported via this Block Explorer, but not those you list:

If the GPU's are identical you only need to benchmark one single GPU. You will then save the hashrates to a Profit Profile.

For the profit switcher, this is good enough, because it will make the same decisions on a computer no matter if you have one nVidia GTX 1070 or six nVidia GTX 1070. If Equihash is most profitable for 1070, it doesn't matter how many 1070 you have, it's still the most profitable algorithm.

In general, the best pracise is to specify all the hashrates for a single GPU.

Then you have the concept of Profit Profile Groups, also configured in Options dialog, Profit profile section. These groups are simply pointing to one or multiple Profit profiles, and specifies the total number of GPU's. They are requires in two scenarios:
1) You want to display the profit on the Coins tab or Online Services tab for a complete system instead of just profit per GPU.
2) You have a mix of GPU types, for example two nVidia 1060 and three nVidai 1080. In the Profile Groups you can specify this information in order for the profit switcher to make the correct decision.

Are you using the latest Awesome Miner v3.2.8 (both the main application and Remote Agent)? That one should include Claymore Ethereum Miner 10.0. If the automatic download failed it may be beacuse of security software preventing it.

I agree with what puwaha stated above.

I just have a question about "Power Stage". Awesome Miner uses MSI Afterburner to control GPU clocking and similar. There is a GPU setting called "Power Limit" where you by default have 100%, but you can lower this one to make the GPU consume less power (and it will limit performance i little bit). Is that what the "Power Stage" is doing?

Awesome Miner let you configure the Power Limit, together with GPU clock, fan speed and more. The exact parameters will depend on what kind of GPU you are using. You can find more information here:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/gpuclocking.aspx

I also recommend a Managed Miner, and then use templates to switch between a few predefined configurations:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/managedtemplate.aspx

I started looking into this a little while ago when it was discussed last time, and I found a way to support 24h avg statistics for Nicehash, zpool and WhatToMine - but not for Mining Pool Hub.

I will go ahead and make the implementation for these sources that supports it, because it's only a small implementation. I will add a new settings in the Options dialog (probably in the Statistics sub section for Coins&Profit) where you can select between "Current" and "24h average". This will be used for the information you see on the Coins tab, the Online Services tab and for the profit switcher.

You are correct that WhatToMine is very flexible here, but the other sources are not.

There are some major issues with Zpool today. Their site worked when I tried it right now, but earlier it didn't respond to API calls and the site wasn't working.

Thanks for your feedback on this. It's good that you have a manual workaround, but it would be even better if Awesome Miner could handle this for you. Right now it's a bit difficult as Diamond is just another Groestl algorithm according to all coin statistics sources including WhatToMine.

From the Diamond coin FAQ it also sounds like it should be standard Groestl:
A: groestl is a algo not developed for cryptocoins but as a general purpose security algorythm same as SHA256 (bitcoin algo)
myriadcoin & groestlcoin where the first which used this great algorythm for a crypto currency
and diamond will take a similar approach of implementation so grs able miningsoftware will be able mine dmd too
compared to scrypt it have less power useage and heat production on most GPU even below x11

Maybe the fact that it will be POS solves the problem for Awesome Miner, as it doesn't have to be supported anymore?

Development Previews can be enabled from the Options dialog, General section. Then Menu -> Check for updates. If you need access to the MSI files for manual installation:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMiner.msi
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi

Don't downgrade to version 3.2 once you installed the new development versions.

Awesome Miner 4.0 release plan
Awesome Miner 4.0 will be released during the first half of September. The content of the release will be almost identical to the feature list above.

Already today you can sign up and start using the new Awesome Miner Cloud Services together with the development version.

Hi again,
This will be released in a little while, where you can override the global settings for Nicehash / Zpool / MPH per Managed Profit Miner. Can you please test the feature and give feedback?

Thanks for your suggestion.

I think the current Block Explorer interface is preventing requests if they are made too frequently. And if you have multiple bitcoin wallet addresses to monitor, it will be multiple requests. I will try to find a better block explorer site that allow for more frequent requests.

Thanks for the updates! Setting UAC to not notify you is the same as setting it to not elevate privileges I think? Have you tried to enable UAC instead? You can also select a miner (doesn't have to be running) and select the System tab, and then click "GPU settings". This will launch MSI Afterburner, if everything is working as it should.

The setting to set GPU clocking per miner is currently only available on Managed Miners, not Managed Profit Miner, but the idea is to suport both in the future.

From your diagnostics log, you can see that Awesome Miner is trying to use "cpuminer-core-avx2.exe". When using Auto-download, this is what Awesome Miner will use. You can configure the Managed Miner to use use your specified path instead, and then you can point to "cpuminer-core2.exe" instead.

Thanks for the feedback.

For MSI Afterburner, do you have UAC enabled in Windows (you should)? When you make changes to the MSI Afterburner settings in the Options dialog, the log file for Awesome Miner should indicate what's going on if you search for "Setting MSI Remote Server path". Please note that this is the log file for the remote system, that you find on the right-click menu on the Remote Agent icon. You can also open Windows Task Scheduler and look for "MsiRemoteServer" that should be added by Awesome Miner. This is the only way of auto-starting software with Administrator privileges.

Dual mining was only saved if another change was made as well. I've corrected that now

Are you running 3.2 or the latest development version 3.2.7? The latest versions has more corrections to the profit switcher.

Can you get CPUMiner to start if you manually setup the command line without Awesome Miner? You can see the parameters Awesome Miner use when you click the Diagnostics button. Awesome Miner uses the core-avx2 version of CPUMiner by default, which is supported by most common CPU's.

The scenario with a Managed Miner with a single Ethereum pool sounds a bit strange. Can you send me an API report for that scenario (Tools -> API Report).

You are correct that for example Ccminer has dmd-gr in addition to the groestl algorithm.

What makes me a bit confused is that WhatToMine, Coinwarz and the FAQ of the Diamond coin states that it's simply Groestl. If WhatToMine would have reported this as another algorithm, Awesome Miner could for sure map this to another command line parameter. Now it's getting a bit difficult, because if the above is true, Groestl could require different parameters depending on coin, which would be totally confusing.

Is there anyone else that has a good answer on this?

Do you get the timeouts with the built-in Nicehash / Zpool / Mining Pool Hub pools? Can you try the Diagnostics button to see if the mining software is giving any more details? If not,  please send me your log file (Tools -> Log file).

Once you have Awesome Miner connected to your R-Pi, can you please send me an API report for it (toolbar: Tools -> API Report)? From what I've seen so far this R-Pi based solution doesn't provide any good device information (temperature and so on) from the Avalon miners. In the past when people used a single Avalon 721, it did report temperature and more.

By default Awesome Miner tries to restart a process three times. If it fails three times within a short period of times, Awesome Miner actually gives up. If the mining software has been running for a few minutes, it will reset this counter and you will have another three times of restart available.

If you want to take further actions after three times, you can use the Rules (Options dialog, Rules section) for that. You have a trigger "Process failure" that will be triggered in this scenario. You can define define your actions - maybe to give you a notification and then try to start the miner again.

The MSI Afterburner Remote Server is a bit difficult to auto start because it requires Admin permissions and doesn't have any built-in concept for that. Awesome Miner can however setup this for you, so have you followed these steps? Please share more details on this if you already have and it isn't working.
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/gpuclocking.aspx

I'm not sure I fully understand the scenario with a restarted MSI Afterburner. If you simply restart that software (close it, then start it), how would that affect the GPU Clocking profiles? Sorry if I missed the point here.

Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, you can use the Rules (Options dialog, Rules section) in Awesome Miner to define this kind of behavior. You have some examples of how to configure the rules on this page:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/rules.aspx
There is an example where you detect low hashrate and send a notification based on that. You can just extend that behavior to have two actions. The first one could still be to send the notification, but in addition to that you can add another action as well. The second action can be to run an executable - maybe launch a bat-file you have that will take further actions.

Yes, and all other popular coins and algorithms as well.
