Hi. What is supported is to select multiple Managed Miners in the main window, and click the Upgrade Remote Service button in the toolbar. Although this isn't an automatic operation, you can at least make upgrades of many Remote Agents in a single operation.

Which mining software is this? Claymore Zcash or EWBF?

I have a solution for this in the pipeline, and it is involving the Task Scheduler behind the scenes.

You will enter the full path to the MSI Afterburner Remote Server in the Options dialog of Awesome Miner. As soon as you save, all Remote Agents will configure your Windows systems to automatically start the MSI Remote Server when Windows is starting. So next time Windows is starting, it should work. There is an assumption made here, the MSI Remote Server location must be the same on all remote computers.

I will keep you updated on the progress of this feature.

Claymore - thanks for adding the new API to enable and disable individual GPU's. I've added support for that in Awesome Miner.
Would it also be possible to extend the API to include accepted / rejected shares per GPU? Thanks!

No problem - but some of these miners still have very limited API's. The only way to improve it is to request the miner developers to expose more via their API.

This release also introduced the feature to enable/disable GPU's for Claymore Ethereum miner over API. That was requested by another user of Awesome Miner that suggested this to Claymore recently. A few days ago Claymore exposed this operation via API's - so this is an example of that asking for better API's give results.

You will not be able to use miningpoolhub profit switcher in combintion with Awesome Miner profit switcher. In order for the Awesome Miner profit switcher to work, the profitability information must be known. For services like Nicehash and zpool, they provides API's where Awesome Miner can get this information. For single coin pools, Awesome Miner can also calculate the profitability.

For miningpoolhub, it doesn't look like they have any API, so for Awesome Miner this is a pool with unknown profitability.

You can of course use Awesome Miner without profit switching to mine on this pool, and use the profit switcher of the pool, but you cannot combine the profit switchers.

You define this as three separate Pools in Awesome Miner, and then you define a Group Pool that includes all of them. Then you can use this Group Pool from a Managed Miner.

That's not displayed in the miner list today, you can only find this information on the GPU tab. This feature is already in the pipeline and I agree that it makes sense to have it.

Can you send me the API report for this miner. Select the miner in the main window of Awesome Miner and use the toolbar: Tools -> API Report. Do you have an example of the command line parameters you use when you launch it manually?

Awesome Miner Version 3.0.5

- Added support to enable and disable GPU's on a running Claymore Ethereum miner
- Faster refresh of miner console when changing miner selection
- Display last applied template for Generic Miners
- EWBF 0.3.4 with display of uptime and pool information
- Corrected display of Nicehash blake2b profit, after last Nicehash API change
- Minor corrections

For those of you who want to use the very latest mining software in combination with the auto-download feature - I've updated the online definition file to include the latest EWBF Zcash miner (nVidia) version that just was released. If you enabled "Check for new version of mining software for automatic download" in the Options dialog, you will see a notification in the application after a little while that this update is available.

No matter if the automatic check is enabled, you can always upgrade the definition file from Menu -> Update mining software definitions.

There will also be a new release of Awesome Miner tomorrow. This release will also correct the problem where Nicehash recently change the unit of which Blake2b (Sia) profit is reported, resulting in display of 1000 times too high profit in Awesome Miner. This was a change on the Nicehash side that needs to be taken into account in Awesome Miner as well.

Many thanks for this release and the new API with start time and current pool. This makes it possible for me to include more monitoring information in Awesome Miner.

Thanks for your questions on this. I'm very supprised to see that a mining pool makes this very strange design.

Based on the fact that you include CAP and ARI, I assume that you run a scrypt ASIC like Antminer L3/L3+. In this scenario the cgminer process on the miner can provide Awesome Miner with pool information like URL and worker name, but it will never give out the password. So from a monitoring application point of view, all these pools will look identical when reported by the mining software. This is why the design of Prohashing is flawed.

You should still be able to manually define these pools in Awesome Miner (either using the New Pools button in the toolbar, or via Options dialog, Pools section), where you specify the password and coin for each pool. This should make it possible for you to change between the pools using Awesome Miner. However, there is no way to correctly display the current pool you mine.

That's not supported today, but would of course make sense to have. I'm planning to make some improvements to the web interface at the same time as I introduce the new cloud services for Awesome Miner, because it will basically be the same web interface but running in the cloud instead. This is however a few months away.

I agree that it makes sense to display last applied template in this case. I've just implemented that so the feature will be included in next release. Keep in mind that Awesome Miner didn't keep track of last applied template before, so this will only work after you do the Apply Template operation once with the new version. This is the first link between a Miner and a Template, and this is what I will build on in the future to make this integration more tight - I do know you want to see improvements here.

I will make some small adjustments to the console in the next release so you faster can get updates when you select miners in the list. What I will do is to implement this only when you enable auto-refresh (in Console tab, Settings -> Auto refresh -> anything except Disabled). If you don't want frequent updates, you can set it to 10 minutes, Awesome Miner will still make an instant update as soon as you select another miner like the scenario you describe.

Major UI changes will be a topic for the future, but I do appreciate the feedback. Maybe several tabs (Pools, GPU, Console) should be possible to break out and stacked on top of each other on the side of the main window, to give a detailed view of everything at the same time, without having to change tab.

The only Skein related I can find on whattomine is the info page for DGB Skein and Myriad Skein:
https://whattomine.com/coins/114-dgb-skein
https://whattomine.com/coins/67-myr-skein

However, those coins are not listed on the GPU tab on their site, not on the ASIC tab and not in the JSON link, that is the API used by Awesome Miner. So no Skein coins are really made available here. I can ask the whattomine author why this is the case.

I think the first step is to use the Upload Software feature to make sure that all your remote computers have the 3 ccminer-versions you listed above.

You can at any time go to the Managed Miner properties and switch between the different softwares you uploaded. However, you probably want to change multiple settings at the same time. Software path, algorithm, pool and so on. In order to do this faster across a large number of miners, you can define a Managed Template:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/managedtemplate.aspx

You can probably define 3 templates to start with, one for each ccminer-version. Then you can use the Apply Template feature to apply these changes across many miners at the same time.

Each Managed Miner (and also each Managed Template) can have a unique set of command line parameters (Properties of Managed Miner/Template, then Command Line section on the left side). This allows you to control any parameter to the mining software, for example intensity. Another option is to define different Device Profiles with different intensity settings.

Awesome Miner can use whattomine.com or coinwarz.com for coin statistics, to figure out the profit. However, there are no Skein based coins listed on any of these sites today, so I don't think it's possible to get any automatic profit info here, right?

You should define the pool and worker name in Awesome Miner. It's only the software itself that you upload to remote computers - any configuration file you upload will not be used. Awesome Miner controls all that for you.

It's in Awesome Miner main application you define your pool and mining settings. On each remote computer you will run Awesome Miner Remote Agent that will start the Claymore miner with correct pool and other parameters.

So from an Awesome Miner point of view you want to manually control which pool to use for mining, and if needed do some manual switching between a few pools on zpool and miningpoolhub. That's also possible. You simply define each pool in Awesome Miner, and I don't think you need to use the Pool Group concept.

There are no dev fees in Awesome Miner itself. However, the mining software you use like Claymore's miner and possibly some others do use the concept of dev fee. With Awesome Miner you also have the Free Edition where you can get familiar with the software.

I don't have experience in configuring this specific Anti-virus software. Awesome Miner is downloading the mining software to the folder:
%localappdata%\AwesomeMiner\
Can that folder be added as an exception in your AV software?

If not, you can always download the mining software like the Claymore Ethereum miner manually, and then simply configure your Managed Miner to point to this software you already downloaded instead of doing the automatic download.

You can use the profit switcher in the Free Edition as well. You can define multiple single-coin pools, and them into a Pool Group, and then configure the profit switcher (Options dialog, Profit switching section) to use this Pool Group for profit switching. This will work as long as the single-coin pools uses coins that are listed on whattomine.com or the coin statistics site you are using. In addition to this, the profit switcher has built in support for most pools provided by Nicehash and zpool.
