The Frequency & ASIIC is working fine for S1 but isn't working on for the S3, any chance you know what needs to be changed? Also
Can you select your S3 miner and click the "View Details..." button. Got to the API Console tab, type the command "stats", and send me the result ( info@awesomeminer.com). Thanks! I have a BTC Garden, Antminer S1, & Antminer S3 miners each in a separate group. Would it be possible have Progress field customization tied to the Group; that way each group could have a different customization?
That is currently not supported, but it was a good suggestion for future development. |

Ok, been having this issue the last few versions, I have BFGminer 4.8.0 running my little Ant U1 on a Windows Server, for some reason it just wont report.. didnt want to work on 4.7.0 for a while either, infact cant remember if the last time it worked was 4.6.0 or 4.7.0... as i wasnt too concerned with watching it in Awesome miner. (so that might be my problem)
Hitting "Test Connection" shows fine, but it comes up Disconnected in the main window.
Could you send me the log file (Options -> Advanced)? Can you also try to select the disconnected miner, click "View details...", then click Generate API Report and send me the output? Thanks! |

Version 1.1.1 add support for Antminer specific statistics in the progress field (thanks spiceminer15).  The Progress field can also be configured separately for the Small list view. Instructions how to configure the Progress field, including Antminer example: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/customizefield.aspx |

is there a way to customize the Progress field when the Miner View is set to Compact List? If not could you please add in the future release?
appears that the customize Progress field is only applied when Miner View is set to List.
i did away with HW Error count and create Error Rate % - as I am more concerned with Error Rate % than I am hardware errors
Good suggestion. I will add a new setting for this in the dialog for customization of the Progress field. |

Something I've wondered about with KnC is that they say "no refunds" on all devices, yet I've been told by countless Swedes (I live in Sweden) that this is against the law. All items must be sold with a short open-buy period.
Is KnC openly defying Swedish law, or is my understanding of the law incorrect?
Refunds are required if a company is selling a product to a consumer. When you buy a miner from KnC, you have to agree that it's a business to business sale, and in that case the refund rules doesn't apply. (I also live in Sweden) |

Patrike, I am attempting to install the latest Awesome Miner Remote Service. I have completely uninstalled the previous version.
Using Win 7-64. The installation hangs as it is attempting to start services it then has a popup that says that the IntelliBreeze Software Maintenance Service failed to start. Please advise.
I will try to reproduce this problem and get back to you. Is the Windows user you are running as an Administrator? Just to follow up on this topic. We found out that Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 wasn't installed. The installer doesn't inform about this, only that the service failed to start as part of the installation. |

fire000 - Great that you found the answer how to enable the Antminer API. I hope you enjoy the software

Patrike, can you walk us through creating a "Rule" to do the following. check to see what the AVG hashrate is, if it is below 400GH/s then reboot wait 5 minutes check again to see if hashrate is below 400GH/s? if good, wait another 5 minutes then repeat. Thanks!! Great App, Keep up the 'Awesome Work'!!  Yes, of course I can help you with that. Just a quick question - is this a stand alone ASIC that you connect to as an External Miner in Awesome Miner (Cgminer running on the actual ASIC device)? If that is the case, it will not possible to reboot, only restart the mining process. Also, Is there any specific reason the app won't install on a VM image of windows 7??
I've sent you an e-mail about this. We can continue the fault isolation by mail. |

The profit switcher is working based on statistics from some of the popular pools. The pools supported are TradeMyBit, West/NiceHash, LTCrabbit, Yaamp. The easiest way to get all the configuration needed is to follow this guide, where you can download all pool info: http://www.awesomeminer.com/guide/awesomeprofit.aspxIf you use Coinwarz statistics and want to mine for Darkcoin (just an example), Awesome Miner will compare the profit of Darkcoin with the current profitability of mining NiceHash, and switch to the most profitable one. It is however important that all these pools to be considered by the profit switcher are added to the miner pool list. If you go to the Pools-tab for a running miner, you see the list of all the pools - and those you want to profit switch between must be in the list (example screenshot: http://www.awesomeminer.com/img/guide/profit_mining.png) Thanks, I am pretty sure I am following the directions and see it change sometimes but not confident its working as intended. For example, I am remotely managing a Gridseed 5 Mhz blade (scrypt only). I have selected my "Awesome Miner pool" which consists of the supported Pools along with some individual coins. It has chosen to use the Nicehash pool. As a test, I have also added my crappy graphics card which gets about 50 khs (scrypt only). I too select my "Awesome Miner pool" with the exact same pool/coin options. If this software was auto-picking the most profitable and NiceHash was already picked, one would think the graphics card would also be assigned NiceHash, but no, it gets a coin. If things are most profitable, why would different devices get different coins/pools? Could you please send me your Awesome Miner log file? Awesome Miner is writing log information to AwesomeMiner.log. To find this file, open the Options dialog, Advanced section, and select either Open to open the file in a text editor, or Open folder to open the folder where the log file is located, so it can be copied or attached to an e-mail. |

Found the API for WafflePool here. Pain in the but structure. It's going to take a little more time to parse this out but it still shouldn't be too bad. The pool definitely meets my criteria for inclusion. I've also looked into Wafflepool as an option for automatic profit switching. However, their data is not really real-time and part of their statistics are 24h averages which isn't good enough for a profit switcher. I have also contacted the Wafflepool admin about this, and they think that giving out more real-time statistics isn't a good idea, as users might not like the fact that those numbers are just estimates. |

hate to shoot my own app in the foot, but
antminers do report the asic stats and freq.
with the "stats" command
it'll return
chain_acs1
chain_acs2
frequency Many thanks, I really appreciate that! I used to have an Antminer S1, but not anymore. |

Really enjoying the product, so thank you! But I am also not confident I am understanding a couple statements from the website help vs my results. I have enabled the awesome profit switching rule and its set for 30 minutes. I also enabled the check box to manually implement and see the option on top, love it!
Help: The Awesome Profit Switching rule requires all pools to switch between to be added to the miner. Of all the added pools, the most profitable will automatically be prioritized.
Me: I am not finding the priorities changing over time even as the coin's and pool profit-abilities change.
Help: If the pool has a specific coin specified, the coin statistics will be used to calculate the profitability of the coin, and the Awesome Profit Switching rule will automatically change to the pool if it's more profitable than any of the added multi-pools.
Me: Pool can mean either a hosted pool such as NiceHash or the pool of coins/pools inside AwesomeMiner. If I am using NiceHash and also added a dedicated pool for a coin NiceHash knows nothing about, will it get the profitability from Coinwarz and those sites or does it rely on NiceHash to give individual statistics? What if NiceHash knows nothing about that coin?
Mainly I am not seeing consistent results in changing pools with the awesome profit enabled. For example, ANC coin is always at my highest priority and it starts mining with this. I then manually switch to a different pool, say NiceHash. I then re-add my awesome pool which consists of both. Technically if ANC was my highest priority and thus most profitable, it would switch back, no? And vice versa...in either case it seems to stick with what I move it to and not auto-pick after the 30 minute interval or manual request.

Would like to be able to have some of the reporting on the Miners view for the Antminers, with the info like is shown with Spiceminer's Antviewer though. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=760810.20Just need the Asic status, Best Share & Freq. as you already have Ghs, Reject and HW errors. Then I wouldn't need to run Spiceminers as well as Awesome. I don't think the Antminer's publish the ASIC status and Frequency statistics via the API. It could be that the Antviewer software you are referring to is logging in to the web page and try to parse the output. Best Share can be added in Awesome Miner like this: Open the Customize Progress field, see: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/customizefield.aspxIf you want to modify the line that by default says "Rejected: XX", you can put a check in the Line 2 box, and enter the following: "R: " + status.Rejected + ", BS: " + status.BestShare Now you will see both Rejected and Best Share on the second line in the Progress field for all your miners. |

How can i set API access from restricted to privileged on my Antminer S3? A step by step for dummies would be cool  I know that TheFridge was looking into this a while ago. There are guides how to setup Privileged mode on Antminer S1: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=499837.0However, there might be changes on the S3 that requires different settings. Please let me know if the above work or not, otherwise we can probably ask in the S3 thread. |

hmm, checking and WafflePool is in the list of online services and right now is the most profitable for scrypt but it won't witch to it, i took a look at the scrypt file you have on your website and it's not in there. could you add it please.
You are correct that WafflePool isn't part of the profitability switching. The reason is that the statistics provided by WafflePool are per day, while the other pools provide the "current" (10 minute average) profitability. Per day statistics are not good enough for the profitability switcher. |

You are not allowed to use cudaminer/ccminer in your program as its GPL2/GPL3.
GPL prevents you from using source code from a GPL application and put it in another application with non-GPL license. As I explained already, Awesome Miner is NOT using any source code from open source projects. Awesome Miner is simply executing (or connecting to the API's provided by) ccMiner.exe and Sgminer.exe, and that is fully allowed and doesn't break any GPL licenses. For example: A user is running ccMiner.exe on one PC and Sgminer.exe on another PC. Now the user want all features provided by Awesome Miner, so the user go ahead and download the free version of the software. Then they simply point Awesome Miner to execute their existing ccMiner.exe and Sgminer.exe. In case of Sgminer, they can also connect to the API using a TCP connection. This is not in conflict with GPL. ACK, in this case consider donating a small amount to the developers. unless your that greedy I've considered that. But keep in mind that 90-95% of the Awesome Miner users runs the free version, so I'm already giving away many hundred development hours to the community for free. |

No, it's more disappointing people need to do that to get paid at all. We all know 99% of people don't donate.
actually what is disappointing also is that de sg/cg/dev don't get anything because donation is very limited I don't want to get into an endless debate about open source vs closed source, but here we have the problem. First everyone expect all software to be available for free, then the same people agree that donations gives very very little. For Awesome Miner, it's not 100% of the users that pay for the software, it's maybe 5% or 10% because most people use the free version. For donation based software it might be 1% paying users. For software without any free version, it's 100% paying users. I think it should be up to the developer to decide which alternative to use, and I went for the 5-10% alternative. But I don't complain on people that would go for the 100% paid alternative. So basically it is a double ripoff of dev assets as the guy won't even send a dime to the developpers who wrote these softwares which without them he wouldn't be able to sell anything.
Again, even if Sgminer or ccMiner would cost money to use, I would still be able to provide people with either the free or paid version of Awesome Miner. Now Sgminer & ccMiner don't cost any money and uses donations instead, and if the donations are too small, maybe it's time to change to another model instead. Look at the Linux market for example. Linux is free and open source, but there are plenty of 100% commercial closed source applications that cost money that run on Linux. Are they all bad? Or is it that they simply add value and customers are willing to pay for that extra value? And all that using open source code made by the very people in this forum, seriously?... No thanks.
One more time: Awesome Miner doesn't include any source code from ccMiner, Cgminer, Sgminer or any other open source project. |

This must be some kind of misunderstanding. Awesome Miner doesn't include any code from ccMiner, Cgminer, Sgminer or any other open source project.
You need to download the ccMiner software that performs the actual mining in order to actually mine with your nVidia GPU - just like all users so far had to download Cgminer or Sgminer. Awesome Miner is just a management and monitoring (and much more...) application.
except if we (cg/sg/cc Miners dev) were doing like you, you wouldn't have anything to sell I don't understand what point you are trying to make here? If Sgminer would cost money, people that want to use it would buy it. Then they can use Awesome Miner, either free version or paid version, to connect to their Sgminer's and get a great mining management and monitoring application. That would work perfectly fine. |
