Odd, Ill wait to see if the next version will correct it.

I'll try to do a little more testing on my end, but it is very difficult to try to fix an issue I can't reproduce. The miner download process is fairly straightforward: download the archive files from Github, extract them and check to see if they exist in the appropriate folders on load of the software. If the miner .exe files don't exist, the software shows the warning message and tries to download them again. You said all the executable files exist, so it is hard to see why that process is failing on your machine and working elsewhere.

Just got your app today.
Trying to benchmark my GPUs, got 6x 1070s.
Ran benchmark for my first one and it finished but it never updated the table? still sad 0 everywhere.
Etherminer updated but nothing else lol
any ideas?

Are there any warnings or errors listed in the Output panel on the bottom of the Mine tab? Some of the miners, such as DSTM, Nevermore, XEvan and XMRig require certain pools to be enabled so you can get credit for the mining output done during the bench-marking process. However, both Klaust and Tpruvot don't need a pool connection for benchmarking. So you may also want to look at the Miners tab and watch the miner output for the device you are updating. These text areas show the same thing that the miner window would for most miners - unfortunately, Ethminer isn't compatible with this feature.

No error messages really https://pastebin.com/8zeqrL40 thats output from miner

The output under said starting benchmark and then finished benchmark, some errors about API for miningpoolhub for balance but nothing else.

Thanks. It really helps to see what's going on.  That appears to be from a single device output, but what is confusing is that there is two different GPU numbers referenced (0 and 1) in the output. For example, Fresh is benchmarked on GPU 0 and then it switches over to GPU1 and then back to 0 later on and then back to 1 again. Each output should be device specific, so the fact that the GPU number changed is mostly likely the cause of the missing data. Do you have any other mining software or GPU utilities running in the background that may be changing the order of the GPUs?  I haven't had any problems keeping Afterburner open, but I'm wondering if there might be something running that is setting a different Nvidia device order while Hash Auger attempts to benchmark.

Made sure i had nothing running in the background still same :/

All the benchmarks are at least for GPU 0 is this second example. The API warnings shouldn't affect benchmarking because they only prevent the software from retrieving your MPH unpaid balance. Can you please upload to pastebin the contents of your GPU0.xml file? It will be in your user's AppData\Local\CongeriesSoftware\HashAuger folder.

Thanks. I think I found what the issue is. Differences in the decimal format used by your Windows locale and the miner output is preventing Hash Auger from reading the miner output properly. Notice that the benchmarks in your .xml file are 0,0 while all the miners return the hash rates as x.x.  Ethminer is the only miner that is not returning the hash rate as a decimal, so it is unaffected.  Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will work on a fix for it this weekend. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Okay did another clean install of your app and now saying that cpu miner could not download and can't get the app to start mining still. I don't even have the cpu option on.

Are you installing the executable to the default location (Users\<username>\AppData\Local\CongeriesSoftware\HashAuger) or a custom location?  If you're using a custom install path, check to see if the folder mentioned above exists; if so, delete it. The software shouldn't try to download the CPU miners unless the CPU is enabled, which makes me think that the old config files are still around even though you uninstalled the application.

[pizzaslut]

Installing it to the default folder no change.

Ok. I double-checked the uninstaller and it appears to wipe that directory anyway, but it was worth verifying.  Can you post the contents of the manifest.json file from your install folder? It should only be one line of text. You can open it up using Notepad.

This is what is shown.  {"ethminer":"0.13.0","dstm":"0.6.0","klaust":"8.2.1","nevermore":"0.0.2","Tpruvot":"2.2.5.0","xmrig-nvidia":"2.5.2","nevermore-s":"0.1.1","xevan":"0.1"}

Thanks. None of the CPU miners are listed, which is to be expected since you have the CPU disabled. I double-checked the code and you should only see that warning  if the CPU is enabled and the software can't download the miner. With Hash Auger closed, please delete the CPU0.xml file from the install location and restart the app.

I have uploaded version 1.6.2 of the software that should fix the issue you were having. I changed the decimal separator on my own machine from a period to a comma and was able to benchmark all the miners with this version. Please let me know how this update works for you.

[Blizzer3]

Thank , gonna test it out and get back to you

EDIT:
Seems to be working fine now, its adding the hashes.
I'll see if i bump into something else that stops me.
One thing to add would be to be able to connect with the afterburner server?  similar to what awesome miner have

Another good thing to add to the program would be to be able to group up GPUs, like if you would prefer always running all GPUs towards the same target so it doesnt start up lots of mining processes.
Do you get what i mean?

[Blizzer3]

Could you possibly add scrypt?
for at least 2-3 days now ahashpool and scrypt with my hashrate of around 2mh/s would give me 19$ a day, at least according to awesome miner when i check there.
Would love to be able to mine it with your software

I'm currently testing a new version of Hash Auger that will include Scrypt support. However, I'm not sure how AwesomeMiner estimates those earnings for that algorithm on that pool. According to the AHashPool website, the highest price for Scrypt in the last thirty days was .00148 mBTC/MH/day. So even if you are doing 2 MH/s per card, you would still only be earning less than .003 mBTC per day per GPU which is far under a dollar a day for each video card.

Thanks for your feedback about the miner processes, but there are some benefits to running each GPU in its own process. First, if the miner process fails for one device, it won't affect any other device. Second, some mining software run certain algorithms less efficiently when multiple GPUs are grouped together into the same process than they do when each GPU has its own process. This is due to how the mining software validates and coordinates work among the GPUs and does affect your hash rate. Finally, running each GPU in its own process allows users to define optimal settings per device instead of being limited to average settings.
