MultiMiner: Any Miner, Any Where, on Any Device (Free, Open Source, Cross Platform)

[nwoolls]

Would love to see a log option in PR7.
Something simple like:
from 7:33 till 9:56 mined X coin.
from 9:56 till 14:56 mined Y coin.

Makes it easier to track what happened if you can't watch your rigs 24/7.

I've logged your request and will add it.

Can you do me a favor and let me know if you are still experiencing the unhandled exception with PR6? elpis indicates he's still receiving it.

[nwoolls]

I'm trying MultiMiner PR6 with my new dell-Alienware M14x.
It has 2 graphics cards:

• Intel HD Graphics 4000
• Nvidea GeForce GT650m (default)

How can I detect both cards with MultiMiner/cgminer or, in last case, only the Nvidea GPU?

Hi there. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with single rigs with multiple different GPU vendors. Based on the cgminer documentation , you may need to use the --gpu-platform argument:

Q: I have multiple SDKs installed, can I choose which one it uses?
A: Run cgminer with the -n option and it will list all the platforms currently
installed. Then you can tell cgminer which platform to use with --gpu-platform.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. You may want to check in the official cgminer thread. If you get it working with just cgminer I can help get things going with MultiMiner.

Is there an option to mine with only some of the cards in a system if you have mine the most profitable coin set?  I wonder because I have 4 GPUs in my main rig and like to only mine on 2-3 of them sometimes and game on the others.  I couldn't seem to find an option in the app.  I tried to add the tags to only use three of the GPUs to both the main command line for cgminer in the app and the individual coin command line and no dice.

Good one! No there's no option like this currently. MultiMiner already adds the -d argument to cgminer internally which is probably keeping your arguments from working. I'll add that request to my list. Thanks for the suggestion.

[nwoolls]

The first official release is out and available at the Github releases page.

There are lots of small improvements and fixes, but the highlights are:

• A standard Windows installer is now provided
• Option to automatically download cgminer
• New options for adjusting profitability
• Option to detect and prompt to kill miners the app does not own
• Improved options for relaunching miners, including watching for sick, dead, frozen, or crashed miners

Thanks everyone and keep the feedback coming!

Greetings.

Regarding the new install program, I recommend to pre-select the \program files (x86) folder and not the \user\Aplication Data\local.

Also, it would be nice to have the option of adding a icon in the desktop.

nwoolls How to get rid of the error? Although it works, but hangs on the error screen.

I'm sorry you are having this issue. I haven't seen any unhandled exceptions on my rigs in days, but it looks like CoinChoose.com is still occasionally sending you blank values.

Can you please download this build and use it? When the error occurs please paste the information just like you did before. With this build the errors should include line numbers which will help me determine which values are blank.

Thanks!

Edit: Re-reading your callstack. That's a different error and is caused by blank values coming back from the RPC API. Still download the above build please and paste the error with line numbers. Just clarifying the cause of the issue isn't CoinChoose.com in this case.

Edit 2: Also, pop open your API Monitor and copy/paste the last response before the error too please. That should contain the API response with the blank values.

[nwoolls]

Regarding the new install program, I recommend to pre-select the \program files (x86) folder and not the \user\Aplication Data\local.

I'll consider it and see what other feedback is but, as stated in the documentation, it was a conscious decision to create a non-intrusive installer that does not require administrative rights. The app installs to your local user area instead of the system area, meaning files in that folder are writable by the user (e.g. extracting miners). This is not the case in Program Files.

Also, it would be nice to have the option of adding a icon in the desktop.

Thanks - I'll add that to the installer.

Does not work.Does not work. Although the GPU will ship by 99% and worker is running and is switched between the coins.

Sorry I should have been clearer. I knew that build wouldn't work but now the error contains the line numbers and I can fix it.

Can you do one more thing please? Click in a Response cell in the API Monitor (where you see STATUS=S etc etc) and hit CTRL+C to copy it. Then paste it in a response here. Thanks!

Edit: Preeeeetty sure I know the problem. From looking at your clock in Windows, you have Windows set to a locale where numbers are not expressed as 1.2. MultiMiner and .NET are aware of that. It looks like the cgminer API returns numbers disregarding the locale information in Windows. I'll have to handle that.

Here's another feature request 

In strategies, can you also include mine the coin with the lowest difficulty ? Regardless of current profitability against BTC.

Thanks !

1.0.8 is out. This is a small update that addresses 1 critical issue and a few other items:

• Fixes for errors running on non-US regions (e.g. Russia)
• New .app package available for OS X
• New debug package available to aid troubleshooting
• Desktop icon is now created by the Windows installer
• Includes MIT licensing

Can you be more specific? Nothing regarding CoinChoose.com should have changed in 1.0.8. I see accurate and up-to-date information on all of my rigs running 1.0.8.

Please note that the information only updates every 15 minutes. Also note that the default profitability is Profitability Adjusted for Stales. You can change that in the Strategies dialog.
