WinMiner v1.126a - auto switch windows app for multi miner optimization

[TeamWinMiner]

..wanted to ask if maybe a vrm pool for cpu? and if we could have a max temp option for gpu and cpu ...that would be great

Thank you for the feedback!
1. cpu - we are considering enhancing the list of supported coins (for both cpu, which is more limited, and gpu) will inform as it happens.
2. max temp - great point - added to our wish list.
Thank you

Hi. Is it okay to run 2 or more computers with only 1 account? or must each computer have an account?

Thanks for raising this matter.
Feel free to use as many computers as you want with your account. BTW we run a whole farm on a single accountl 

[TeamWinMiner]

Please do portable version.

Coming out really soon...
Next week probably.

Hey. I have a set of cards from AMD R7 265 and GTX1050Ti, they have different optimal algorithms. But the miner always launches them paired, eventually one of them constantly gives only 50% of its max performance. How to make WinMiner work with them separately? THX.

Nice!

I have following issues:
- infinite benchmarking for ZEC for my 6xGTX1080 rig.
- when mining ZEC all hashes in winminer window are equal to the GPU0 hashrate while in the console the hashes differ slighly between all GPUs
https://preview.ibb.co/g3wLFQ/miner.jpg

- the miner keeps hanging and not rebooting
- the log file shows something like this:

is it wrong? Do I have to do anything to solve it?


Could you please add following features:
- showing total expected profitability of the rig (sum of all gpu profitabilities) in the Winminer window
- showing more details and hashrate by the miners (rigs) in the webpanel dashboard
- json api (method for showing worker stats is the most important) so one can set up a watchdog.


Also what are the fees for withdraw methods? For 20$ paypal  it took 0.99$. is it fixed fee?

[agrld]

im using rx 460 2gb to dual mine music+dcr. Somtimes miner set the -dcri to 70 and this make less $$. I can adjust manually by press +- key, but claymore crash every time when it mine for devfee. Any fix for this ?

[TeamWinMiner]

I have .... AMD R7 265 and GTX1050Ti, they have different optimal algorithms...... How to make WinMiner work with them separately? THX.

Thank you for this important feedback. WinMiner does not support, at this stage, different algo per every type of gpu. That means that for now all gpus in the system will use the same algo.
Supporting a different algo per each card is a functionality enhancement we are definitely considering adding.

Thanks for the feedback and support  

[ghozy]

There is a good way to solve this issue without much labor. In the main window there are checkboxes with which you can turn on / off the devices used - in the case of video cards they do not work. If this is corrected and allowed to run 2 instances of the application - in fact the question would be solved, it would remain to install 2 applications in different folders for storage of benchmarks for different devices.

Great features ideas - some are already in the making..

Also what are the fees for withdraw methods? For 20$ paypal  it took 0.99$. is it fixed fee?

Fees for withdrawal methods are the fees charged by the provider of the respective method. In this case it is the PayPal fee.
BTW more payment methods are on the way..

Thanks everyone for the wise tips, great feature ideas and for the bug reports. We listen and learn 

We have been working on a couple of things which bothered some of you and are happy to inform that we just released an update with the following improvements:

(1) Express Benchmarking - WinMiner now offers a new benchmarking method called Express (on top of existing benchmarking) - the express, which is now the default benchmarking method, leverages crowd wisdom to get you up and running quickly with great results while making sure your profits are optimized. It does so by testing a couple of options most likely to give you best profits (based on results from others with similar hardware). Then, once in a while, it will make an additional attempt at a time until a thorough benchmarking is complete.

(2) Express benchmarking stop checkbox has been added - so you can make the express benchmarking stop (and the old benchmarking will then commence), with a click, if you so desire

(3) Turning off a specific miner - you asked for it. it is now enabled.

(4) Wrong hash rate display for nVidia cards - we believe we have nailed this one down.

(5) Nvidia cards looping benchmark - we think this one is history.

This is it for now, more things in the pipeline (e.g. more miners for cuda) 

We can’t wait to hear if we have solved a problem you have experienced or if you like the changes we have made.

Looking at the coins offered to be mined is there anything special we need to do to get DGB (DigiByte) working? When i tell my miner to just use DBG it does nothing and just goes dormant.
V/r,

Where is the new version? I always see 1.64 alpha

It's fixed! Thanks.

[TeamWinMiner]

Version updates automatically (downloading from www.winminer.com with the password "alpha" is of course possible as well)
Subject line in the forum is now updated as well.
Let us know if you encounter any issues.

[TeamWinMiner]

It's fixed! Thanks.

So, bench-marking, say i want to benchmark 1 card out of the 5 I have in a system, Winminer doesn't seem to pass on that to the benchmark and still seems to run the benchmark against all the cards. Any way to correct that?
V/r,

[kissmarx]

Every time I turn my computer on, I find that WinMiner also starts on.
I didn't tick the box in the settings so I wonder why it starts up when I turn my computer on.

[deafbabe]

I cannot get it running on Win Server 2012. Tried several machines, everywhere it says that it cannot download the miner, because of windows defender.

Which is totally not true because defender is not even available on Windows Server 2012. Especially on the Core installation.
Firewall is disabled so nothing should stop it from downloading - but zero luck.

So then I tried to copy the specified folder from Win 7 machine which was able to download  and run the miner, but the Winminer somehow is still not happy and complains that it cannot download the miner (hey buddy, it's been downloaded, just run it!)

How can I make it download, or check what is preventing it from download (I think the Windows Defender blame is just some placeholder for "We have no idea what went wrong but you are running Windows so here's our best guess"), or at least take the files from some working node so the app doesn't try to download.

Many thanks

Yes I also wonder why in other computers that I tried installing this, that it says the miner cannot be downloaded because of the windows defender. But there is no windows defender installed on those computers with windows 7 OS. I also tried excluding the winminer folder for scanning by microsoft essential. But it still will not download the miner.

I understand this is still the alpha version. So I believe that the final version will be better once the bugs get fixed by then
