Jag tror att Webhallen kan välja hur många confirms de ska kräva när de sätter upp sin betalningslösning hos Bitpay. 6 st är väl det som anses vara super-säkert för stora transaktioner, men det är ju helt orimligt slött om man bara är ute efter lite godis.

Det hade varit mer rimligt om köp på < 1000kr bara krävde 1 confirm och bara vid riktigt stora köp ska 6 confirms behövas.

The profit switching has been updated to also include YAAMP, an auto-switch mining pool with auto-exchange to Bitcoins.

Great! I'm currently working on adding better support for BfgMiner. Just let me know if you run into any issues. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm currently developing the Windows GUI application Awesome Miner, that manages and monitor mining and includes many powerful features like multiple multi-pool profit switching, scripting and notifications.

I'm getting requests to support the nVidia miners as well, like ccMiner. As far as I can see, there is no API provided by ccMiner, which makes it much more complex to get decent statistics from the miner. Are there any other good practices how to extract mining information from ccMiner? Parsing command line output? Write output to log file? From what I could see in the Readme file, there is no way to write the output to a log file, without fully redirecting all output leaving the screen blank.

If there is a good source where I can find this kind of information, please let me know. Many thanks!

Many thanks for your fast reply - I think I have all information needed to continue with the implementation.

I'm currently working on adding support for BfgMiner in the Windows GUI application Awesome Miner (currently only Cgminer/Sgminer supported). I've been getting this request from several users, so I think BfgMiner is quite popular out there.

I've been reading the Readme.RPC file to try to figure out what the API differences are between CfgMiner and Cgminer, but I'm not sure if I have a full understanding yet.

What I can see is that instead of reporting GPU as a device type, it is reporting as PGA, with name "OCL". I can also see that several GPU commands (like gpudisable) are deprecated, but they are still working. ASIC commands like ascdisable doesn't exist. Is it that all devices (GPU, PGA, ASIC) are reported as PGA and that the PGA commands (pgadisable, ...) can be used on all of them?

Is GPU mining something that will be removed from future releases of BfgMiner, as commands like gpuengine are deprected without any replacements?

Unfortunately I don't have access to any ASIC running BfgMiner at the moment, so I can only do tests with GPU mining right now.

If there are additional documentation you recommend me to read, just let me know. Thanks!

Yes, what you need to do is
1) In Options->Pools, add a new pool that we can call "TradeMyBit Veilcoin" or similar. Put in correct URL and worker name.
2) Go to the tab "Pool Groups" and edit "Awesome Profit Group" (or the group that is used by your miner).
3) Put a check mark for the pool "TradeMyBit Veilcoin".
4) Next time you start your miner, it should automatically add this pool.
5) If the miner is already running, simply use the "Add pool(s)" menu to add it, so you don't need to restart the miner.

I see that your profile name is "Nist5 ", ending with a space. Could you try to remove the space to see if it makes any difference?

Awesome Miner v1.0.4 has been released.

I just wanted to follow up on a few of the suggestions you had so far.

In Awesome Miner 1.0.4 you can execute these additional commands before the mining software is started. Open the properties for you Managed Miner, go to the "Command Line" section. Check "Execute additional command before starting the mining software" and enter the commands to be executed, for example:

The latest version supports both the TradeMyBit auto-closing multi port and the standard multi port.

In addition to that, you have a new setting in Options dialog, Online Services section, where you can enable "TradeMyBit signle-coin pool". When enabled, the Awesome Profit Switching feature can do profit switching between all TradeMyBit pools, for example Veilcoin pool on port 3498.

Please let me know if you have any other comments or suggestions for Awesome Miner. Thanks!

I made a change in version 1.0.2 to handle the fact that Antminers report "Last Share Time" in a strange way. I was hoping that this would solve the problem, but there might be another issue as well.

Could you send me your log file (AwesomeMiner.log) by e-mail? In the new version there is also a "Generate API report" feature that you can find if you first select the miner and click "View details...". Thanks!

The built-in web server can be configured in Options dialog, Web section. The port can be configured, but the address itself will always be your computer's IP and/or hostname. Even if the user interface only show you the Server address like "http://MyComputerName:17790", you can access it from any DNS name that points to your IP address, or directly using the IP address.

Jag har bara handlat med Bitcoin hos Webhallen en gång. Då beställde och betalade jag hemma, och gick sedan till butiken för att hämta ut varan. De var ovanligt intresserade av att se legitimation vid det tillfället och frågan är om de inte tog en kopia på den också.

Om du hämtar ut i butik - berätta gärna om de är lika intresserade av din legitimation som de var av min.

There are no hidden donations or any other strange stuff.

The majority of all features in Awesome Miner are included in the Free Edition, including the Awesome Profit Switching feature. It's just to download and give it a try!

All comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

You can now use the feature Awesome Profit Switching in Awesome Miner to automatically switch between mining on NiceHash or WestHash based on highest profit. All profitability calculations and pool switching are performed automatically by the software.

This will make it much easier for those selling hash power to mine with high profit. Give it a try!

Hi,
Looks like a nice mining pool. Any plans to make an API with profitability information?

Have you considered making a video for Awesome Miner as well? It's much easier to get started with as you don't have to manually work with any configuration files, and you can even prepare pool configuration files that users can download and use with just a click.

Yes, that is correct.

Example:
When you start mining, NiceHash Nist5 is the most profitable pool. Awesome Profit Switcher will prioritize that pool for all your miners (can be configured to be only some of them if you want). Later, if TradeMyBit X11 becomes more profitable, the TradeMyBit X11 pool will be prioritized for all your miners, and they will automatically switch to mine this pool instead.

This is also useful now when NiceHash has split their service into two parts, NiceHash and WestHash. Awesome Profit Switcher will select the most profitable of them all the time.

In addition to above, you can also add your own single-coin pools and define which coin it represents. Awesome Profit Switcher will then keep track of the profitability of that pool as well, and automatically switch to it if it becomes more profitable than any of the supported multi-pools.

Där ser man - man lär sig något nytt varje dag. Jag har handlat på webbhallen under många år men har aldrig noterat det breda utbuded av godis 

Version 1.0.2 is available!
The Awesome Profit Switching feature adds support for WestHash and LTCRabbit, in addition to TradeMyBit and NiceHash. This release also contains several other improvements and corrections.

There is a new forum thread in the Mining Altcoin section for discussions about the Profit Switching feature:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=723820.0

This thread (that you are reading right now) will be intended for everything else about Awesome Miner.

Please provide comments, feedback and give suggestions about features you would like to see in future releases of Awesome Miner.
Thanks!

(Reserved for changelog)

Awesome Profit Switching - Next generation pool switching

Achieve higher profits than any of the auto-switching multi-pools alone, by automatically switching between multiple algorithms and multiple multi-pools. Works great for both GPU mining and standalone ASIC's, and up to 200 miners can be managed from a single interface.

Awesome Miner introduces the next generation of profit switching multi-algorithm pool mining; Awesome Profit Switching. By using both real-time coin profitability statistics to switch between single-coin pools and also using real-time statistics from popular auto-switching multi-pools, Awesome Miner can automatically switch between mining a specific coin or mine on the currently most profitable auto-switching multi-pool.

Awesome Profit Switching works for any combination of GPU mining computers (both Windows and Linux) and standalone ASIC's, as long as a Cgminer/Sgminer compatible API is available.

Supported multi-pools and algorithms for automatic profit switching

• NiceHash (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, SHA-3 (Keccak), X11, X13, X15, Nist5, Neoscrypt, Lyra2RE)
• WestHash (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, SHA-3 (Keccak), X11, X13, X15, Nist5, Neoscrypt, Lyra2RE)
• LTCRabbit (Scrypt, X11)
• Yaamp (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, X11, X13, X15, Neoscrypt, Lyra2RE)
• Hamsterpool (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, X11)
• TradeMyBit (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, X11, X13, X15, Nist5, Neoscrypt) (TradeMyBit has closed down)

Prerequisites
Before continuing, please make sure the latest version of Awesome Miner is installed. The software can be downloaded from the Awesome Miner Download page.

Enable rule for Awesome Profit Switching
The Awesome Profit Switching rule in Awesome Miner is disabled by default. To enable the rule, open the Options dialog. Go to the Rules configuration as illustrated below. Check the box to enable the rule Awesome Profit Switching. The Edit operation can be used to customize the rule and select for which miners the rule should apply.


Setup
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.

There are two alternative ways of using the rule:

• Alternative #1 is to download the complete configuration for all the supported pools and a prepared Managed Miner.
• Alternative #2 is to manually ensure that an already running miner has all the pool added.

Alternative #1: Prepared configuration
Download and run one this file to import the configuration to Awesome Miner:

• Download: Awesome Profit Switching complete configuration

The configuration files are associated with Awesome Miner. Run the downloaded configuration file either from the web browser or from the download folder to import in Awesome Miner.

When launching the downloaded configuration file, the import dialog will be opened. Click OK to import the pools and all configuration. If you for example don't want to do Scrypt mining, simply uncheck the pools that uses Scrypt. If you don't want to use the Managed Miner feature, uncheck the Awesome Profit Miner.


For each of the imported pools, a dialog will be displayed where the pool configuration must be completed. The field Worker name must be filled in.

• NiceHash & WestHash & Yaamp: Your Bitcoin address should be used as Worker name
• LTCRabbit & Hamsterpool: Your Worker name follows the pattern Weblogin.Worker - for example AwesomeTest.1

Click OK to continue.


The same dialog will be displayed for each pool, and Worker name must be filled in for all of them.

Import completed
When the import has completed, the miner will appear in the main window of Awesome Miner, unless unselected during the import.

Configure Device Profiles
The next step is to review the imported device profile configuration, that specifies the GPU mining settings. In the Options dialog, go to the Device Profile configuration as illustrated below.


There are two device profiles in the imported configuration.

• S-algorithm profile defines the GPU mining settings for the Scrypt and SHA-based algorithms.
• X-algorithm profile defines the GPU mining settings for the X11, X13, X15 and Nist5 algorithms.

Edit each of these profiles to work well with the GPU's being used. The default configuration is based on AMD Radeon 280X. Using the Load from GPU template button, predefined values can be loaded for common GPU types. For more information about using Device Profiles in Awesome Miner, read the Device Profile article.

Alternative #2: Manual configuration
The Awesome Profit Switching feature supports the multi-pools and algorithms listed below. Add these to your existing miner (either an External Miner or a Managed Miner) that you monitor using Awesome Miner. Only add those pools you want to use.

Start mining
In the example below, two Managed Miners running on different computers uses Awesome Profit Switching where the NiceHash X11 pool is the currently most profitable and will be the highest prioritized pool.


Adding single-coin pools
Any additional pools can be added to the running miners. 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.

Awesome Miner supports WhatToMine, CoinChoose, CoinWarz and WhatMine as coin statistics providers.

Source code
Awesome Profit Switching is implemented using the Awesome Miner C# Script API, making it very easy for anyone to make their own modifications to the code:

About
For general information about Awesome Miner, see this thread:
Awesome Miner - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor Cgminer & Sgminer

I would recommend you to take a look at this thread as well, to get some idea of which multi-pools and algorithms that are most popular / profitable:
cryp.today Mining revenue stats Scrypt Scrypt-N X11 X13 pools / hashrate rentals

This is not specific to Awesome Miner, but if you do Scrypt mining (Litecoin, Dogecoin and similar), you GPU's will run hot. That's why it's getting more popular with the X11-algorithm (Darkcoin and similar) that makes your GPU's run much cooler compare to Scrypt.
