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

[bi0h4z4rd]

Thanks for your reply! I am using bfgminer that is downloaded by Multiminer itself, the cgminer was just a test, and still getting lots of rejections (50%) with bfgminer.

Is there anything i should try?

I've personally never tried Scrypt mining via the proxy in bfgminer so I'm not altogether sure how well it works. I'll add it to my list of stuff to look into. I've personally never had any issues with SHA-2 proxying. Have you tried that as a test?

SHA proxy works well, it is Scrypt that doesnt.

Let me know if there is any way i can help with this!

I've posted another preview release of 2.3 for testing here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/f9e3o7viy30ntyh/MultiMiner-2.3.0.zip

My primary GPU rig is currently down so I'd really appreciate as much testing as possible from those who have the time. I am very close to releasing this. This update includes more miner details and pool details.

https://raw.github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/master/Screenshots/MultiMiner%202.3%20Preview.png

App crashes after replacing previous multiminer version with it and adding a proxy and scanning for new hardware. Probably an issue with configuration files used on the previous version, since if i delete the Multiminer folder from Roaming folder, it will start "for first time" and work without crashing.

2.3.0 is working fine here replacing 2.2.8 however I'm only using it as a proxy and didn't scan for hardware.

[nwoolls]

App crashes after replacing previous multiminer version with it and adding a proxy and scanning for new hardware. Probably an issue with configuration files used on the previous version, since if i delete the Multiminer folder from Roaming folder, it will start "for first time" and work without crashing.

Looks like this is caused by refreshing the details of a device that does not have a coin configuration selected. I'll fix that up - great catch thank you!

Edit: if you re-download MultiMiner 2.3 from the same URL as before it should fix this issue. Thanks again sir.

wonder if I can get some help in determining why my hashrate drops using this?
It starts at ~800kh then drops to less than ~100.

I have dual R9 270x (7850)
Using GUIminer scrypt, I get consistent 800Kh.
These are my guiminer scrypt settings

I17
g1
thread-concurrency 15508
worksize 256

I have tested various pools and coins.

appreciate the help!

Bring up the Process Log and then copy the value in the Arguments column using CTRL+C. Paste that back here so I can have a look. Also, try launching bfgminer directly with those arguments (it's in the MultiMiner\Miners\bfgminer folder). Report back if bfgminer behaves this way without MultiMiner.

Thanks for your awesome program.  I am having some trouble with the Coinwarz.com API.

I'm getting the "Error: Parsing Coinwarz API".  I'm using 2.2.8 and I did add my key.  I don't know if this is an issue with coinwarz or the program.

Thank you for the help

[williamj2543]

However Multipool.us' auto withdraw function is very handy.

You can setup your alt-coin pools to deposit straight to Cryptsy, and then setup Cryptsy to auto-sell and cash out in BTC.

Thats exactly what I do.

[nwoolls]

I'm getting the "Error: Parsing Coinwarz API".  I'm using 2.2.8 and I did add my key.  I don't know if this is an issue with coinwarz or the program.

That should be a link you can click. Click the link and it will take you to the CoinWarz page. It may prompt you to download the result. Either way you need to view the output as text.

My guess is you have gone over your daily limit. The free API key is limited to 25 calls in a single day.

[nite138]

You were right.  I don't know how I hit 25 so quickly as I had it set to check once every 6hrs.

Thank you for the help and a great program

[nwoolls]

Let's stick a fork in this one! Version 2.3 of MultiMiner is now available with the following changes:

• Added the ability to show details of any mining device by double-clicking it
• The details of individual workers using the Stratum Proxy can now be displayed
• Display the difficulty of for each pool
• Display the time of the last share for a pool
• Optionally prevent multiple instances of MultiMiner from being launched
• Improved support for displaying information for coins with extremely low value (e.g. DogeCoin)
• Can now right-click entries in the Process Log to launch bfgminer with the same arguments
• Make more conservative use of the chosen Coin API (CoinChoose or CoinWarz)
• Additional donation pools added
• Pool quotas are no longer used when perks are disabled
• Fixed occasionally flickering columns
• Fixed wrong pool information being displayed under rare circumstances
• Give mining process more time to quit before terminating
• Executable name is no longer displayed in the Process Log
• Debug zip files are no longer distributed with releases

[nwoolls]

You were right.  I don't know how I hit 25 so quickly as I had it set to check once every 6hrs.

Prior to 2.3, any time you went into the Settings screen and then clicked OK then Coin API would be hit. So if you went into the Settings screen several times you could hit your limit.

This is one of the things addressed in the 2.3 update just released.

The problem is you have an -I D in there. That is making your performance adjust automatically depending on computer use and is why the hashrate is dropping.

Make sure you have not entered -I D into the arguments in the Coins dialog or in the Settings>Advanced miner settings dialog.
In addition, make sure that Dynamic Intensity is not checked under the Advanced menu.
Finally, under Settings>Advanced miner settings, make sure you have not checked to automatically set Dynamic Intensity.

Once you get the -I D out of the arguments you should be good to go.

You can setup your alt-coin pools to deposit straight to Cryptsy, and then setup Cryptsy to auto-sell and cash out in BTC.

Unfortunately I cannot do that since I'm mining on CoinEx and it has no such feature as far as I know..

Yep, i confirmed its fixed!

And thanks to you for such a great software!

Just take a look at the scrypt proxy bug whenever you have time, that would be really useful for easy pointing all miners to a single place without having to go thru all of them.

And of course, if any help/testing is needed, just let me know!

Will do. There are some known issues in bfgminer when it comes to calculating scrypt hashrate versus SHA-2. It can be seen within the UI itself as well. I'll be looking at addressing this soon.

[jml25]

Thanks for this great software and your time. Happy to enable donations on it.

However, I do have one machine that I can't launch multiminer on - it worked for a few days then stopped working.

Any thoughts? As you can see from the OS version, it's windows 7, 64-bit. I feel like this might be a .net framework issue but I uninstalled all frameworks that I could find in programs and features, and reinstalled 4.0. Any other thoughts?

Interesting. And it only ever fully crashes leaving this information in the Windows Event Viewer? Usually if it's a normal crash you will get a call stack with lines of code and line numbers.

The only XML stuff going on in MultiMiner is the configuration related bits. So as a test you could go into %appdata%\MultiMiner (put that into the address bar in Windows Explorer) and move / delete your XML configuration files.
