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

[Raptor2213]

Yup, that looks right to me.  That should help a lot with coin profit failover.  

On another note, I haven't seen the weird issues with it randomly showing a few Phash/sec since I updated off of 2.4.
Scratch that, it just happened again on this version.  Got a log this time: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1856084/Bitcoin/ApiLog.json

Can you show me a screenshot? Is it a single device / ASIC? Usually that's a case of one of the devices not getting enough power or failing outright. It looks like this little guy specifically:

PGA=4,Name=AMU,ID=0,Enabled=Y,Status=Alive,Device Elapsed=209,MHS av=5028748830662.076,MHS 5s=5565034493.427,Accepted=8,Rejected=3,Hardware Errors=2,Utility=2.296,Stale=0,Last Share Pool=0,Last Share Time=1391392495,Total MH=1051464406948612.8750,Diff1 Work=88,Work Utility=25.252,Difficulty Accepted=64.00097658,Difficulty Rejected=24.00036622,Difficulty Stale=0.00000000,Last Share Difficulty=8.00012207,Last Valid Work=1391392514,Device Hardware%=2.2222,Device Rejected%=27.2731

Note that this is not something controlled or affected by MultiMiner. It's the direct RPC API output from bfgminer.

It's hard to screencap because it's fairly intermittent. I posted one before that kind of shows it.  Here it is again:


It seems to happen to random AntMiners, and only AntMiners.

Ok back to my issue, I got it running (I don't know what happened but the Start button that was grey suddenly became available). Anyway, I have it going but it doesnt do the checking for most profitable coin, it actually does not show any prices either. So its stuck on a very low profitability coin. The difficulty, exchange, profitability and the coin dont change at all as if it doesnt connect to coinwarz.



here is my coins page:


here is my strategy page:


here is my perks page:


(By the way, if I could make a suggestion, 15min for checking the strategy is a bit long, considering coinwarz is already 15 minutes behind, this could be completely useless. For example NETCOIN gets low difficulty for maybe 10minute, those 10minutes could be worth 40 regular minutes or more)

Click on Settings > Advanced service settings, then enable the notifications for API errors. I'm assuming there will be a CoinWarz API error notification that pops up after. Click the link to view the error.

Note that CoinWarz free API key limits you to 25 calls a day and 1,000 calls total. The pre-release I linked a few posts above has a new "failover" mechanism for the Coin APIs which may help with this (you can set it to prefer CoinChoose.com and fail over to CoinWarz.com).

Fantastic, thank you. I got it to work and it actually switched coins. Can it just scrape the coinwarz.com page? Or is that unethical? lol.

So Coinchoose is free to use unlimioted? I dont know where to get the API for coinchoose.

Thanks I will try the new version.

O and one more thing, you may want to add something to the code that ignores coins that pop up for a few minutes with lets say sudden -70% or -90% difficulty. These flash profitable coins usually don't last more than a few minutes probably while some pool owner reboots their computer or something. Then the coin dives down deep into the unprofitability zone deep down coinwarz. Starcoin is like that, so is 42 for example or bitbar.

Yes, coinchoose is free/unlimited.  There is no API key.

I too would like it to cease suggesting coins that are less than the coin set to never mine anything less valuable than.  I requested this a while back.

I wouldn't recommend that, no. They're API is, in my experience (and others if you read through this thread) more stable than CoinChoose.com. But CoinChoose.com is free and gives you options like Profitability Adjusted for Stales.

No API key for CoinChoose.com - it's free.

That you for the suggestion. In the meantime you can use Average Profitability rather than straight profitability to work around this.

This is still on my to-do list, but I believe he is referring to having the strategies ignore coins that "spike" in profitability and then immediately fall back down (not the "coin suggestions" feature).

Quick thought, does this option adjust for stales?

Thanks, I'm worried if I do average (I'm assuming its 24 hours) then I will be mining DOGE the whole year long lol.


By the way did you consider moving the items out of the drop down and using the area highlighted below? It is pretty hard to click on those specially from a remote desktop. It also feel unnecessary to click twice instead of once.

Would that be so bad?  Doge seems fairly profitable currently.

If you click Settings > Advanced application settings, you can enable the option to Use a standard menu designed for accessibility, if you prefer that format.

Exactly! Im talking about coins that SPIKE for a few seconds and once the massive pool owner reboots his system the coin drops deep down in the list to very un-profitable. Add that to the 15 minute delay coinwarz has then one would be spinning his wheels trying to ever catch 42 or Star for example at a low diff range.

This may be a bit hard to implement though. How would you know its a spike? I mean I know by now after looking at the list for a month, but how do you program it.

Hi

Is there a possibility to add Hex-Miners from Technobit.eu?
I have 5 boards and wanted to use MultiMiner but it doesn't work.

Thanks a lot

That's more of a question to ask the creator of the mining utility that MM uses in the background.
BFGminer's forum post lists TechnoBit HEX mining boards as "coming soon".  Once they attain compatibility, you should be able to use it with MM.  In the meantime, it looks like they're SHA-256, so you should be able to use them with the Stratum proxy that MM has built in.

nwoolls: I have to say your single click update of the software is Apple Inc quality. Great job overall with everything you have done.

nwools 2.6 = awesomeness!  All of my miners are standalone on the network.  Is it possible for the software to do the donations that way?  I wasn't 100% sure if its possible or not.

Unfortunately not. I tried to think of a way to tie the Network Devices to the Perks but really MultiMiner doesn't need to be mining at all to "see" the devices. So everyone gets it for free 

[nwoolls]

Version 2.6 of MultiMiner is now available for download! This update includes the following:

• Introducing Network Device Discovery: standalone mining devices on your network (such as the AntMiner S1) automatically show up in MultiMiner with zero configuration (devices themselves must allow RPC API access)
• Add the ability to upgrade MultiMiner and bfgminer on all rigs at once via MultiMiner Remoting
• Add the ability to Quick Switch coins on all rigs at once via MultiMiner Remoting
• Implement failover support for Coin APIs - prefer CoinCoose.com or CoinWarz.com and fail over to the other
• Switch from using Average to Current hashrate in totals (shown in the status bar and broadcast via MultiMiner Remoting)
• Additional handling for Invalid Gateway (502) responses from remote APIs
• Fixed the Stratum Proxy virtual device reporting Average hashrate as Current hashrate

Keep the feedback coming and happy mining!

I have another one of these crashes and I saved the report.
Can you point to the Github area to post it for you as I am not familiar with that end of it.

I'm getting unahandled exception errors today on the Win 8.1 system.

Please always post the details of unhandled exceptions either here or in a Github issue. I cannot fix them if I don't know what they are
