I get a lot of PMs asking me about my custom AwesomeMiner coin program so I have decided to release it. (You can find AwesomeMiner here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.0)


This is not for the technically illiterate. I am making nothing off this program. I do not offer support. I will however, be monitoring for good ideas, enhancements, etc. This is a rough first second n+1 release. There WILL be bugs.

AwesomeMiner Coin Updater 1.0.0

• Added Altex.Exchange
• Added requested "non-averaging" mode - setting "AverageDifficulties" to "false" in "settings.json" will now dump current difficulties into AwesomeMiner
• Cleaned up code, de-duplicated things, hopefully made it overall more stable

AwesomeMiner Coin Updater 0.8

• Major cleanup to the console output. Hopefully this should make errors much easier to understand
• Added support for the stupid Iquidus explorers that modify their difficulty with "POW/POS
• BETA(as if this thing isn't beta enough): Added a difficulty sniffer. This should hopefully be able to find the difficulty from almost any BlockExplorer now without having to explicitly add support.

You can find the latest update in the Mega link.

AwesomeMiner Coin Updater 0.7.4

• Fixed bugs introduced in 0.7.3

AwesomeMiner Coin Updater 0.7.3

• Added Support for TradeOgre Exchange

AwesomeMiner Coin Updater 0.7.2

• Quote from: Seanklei10 on March 23, 2018, 06:20:31 PM
  Perhaps an update to the plugin could compare the coin at all exchanges and display the value back of the highest price given any exchange the coin is listed on.

• Fixed numerous bugs in the averaging function (thank you all you eagle eyed mathematicians out there)
• Added support for Crex24 exchange
• Increased coin updating from every minute to 2 minutes (some explorers were banning us)

You can find the latest update in the Mega link.

AwesomeMiner Coin Updater 0.1

Details:

• Updates coin statistics inside of AwesomeMiner for coins not on WhatToMine. This can be extremely useful for new and bleeding edge coins.
• The income values will be very far off at first run. The program pulls the current nethash difficulty of each coin and stores them and smooths it out after a few minutes to hours. Maximum of 24 hours data is used.
• Caches exchange prices to prevent API limits. Useful for starting up and debugging.

Supported BlockExplorers

• Iquidus
• CryptoNote
• UExplorer
• CryptoChainz
• Insight API
• Minerpool (not a BlockExplorer, come at me.)

Supported Exchanges

• Cryptopia
• Stocks.Exchange
• TradeSatoshi
• CoinExchangeIO
• CryptoBridge
• SouthXChange
• Graviex
• cryptohub.online
• Crex24
• TradeOgre

Directions:
1) If you have not already, enable the AwesomeMiner HTTP API on port 17790 (no authentication). This program must be run on the same machine as AwesomeMiner (for now.)
2) Edit the config.json file to add coins you want to see updated. The block explorer type is very important. You can find the types usually at the bottom of the webpage.
3) Run the program.

Example Iquidus

Example CryptoChainz

Example minerpool

Example Insight API

Just to give everyone some idea how it works. Pics below.

It appears I have not configured something correctly. I'll keeping trying.

Go right ahead.

UPDATE:

Got it work.

When you look at the coin it will not show exchange rate, just mining profitability.

So if you previously specified a coins difficulty, block reward, and exchange rate. This program will do all the calculations in the background and change it to profitability.

I'm not sure the full extent of this yet but one thing this does effect is if you had that coin on the bottom ticker bar it will not show a value anymore.

double

Yes, but remember the price only updates when you update the stats so it's almost pointless to have an added coin which doesn't update on your ticker...

So Sparks2 is using your program to update and Sparks uses the reward, difficulty, and BTC exchange.

Like I said before its really no big deal for the ticker because most people would not add a coin to a ticker which they have to constantly update, but i'm not sure if those values (Reward, difficulty, Exchange rate) are used elsewhere.


EDIT: had sparks2 and sparks switched... oops.

I suggest you use awesome miner. They might have some good tutorials.

I think it is simpler than nicehash and much more profitable.

And, when you get more advanced you can really use it to its full potential.

Is your question does Awesome Miner use nethash or does this plugin use nethash?

Awesome miner uses the profitability which the pools provide.

I believe this plugin uses the nethash to calculate rewards and then uses exchange rates to calculate profitability.

This is correct.
