Hi Patrike, uncompressing of t-rex 0.24.8 archive is wrong on AM 9.1 & 9.1.1 (unpacking archive in working folder issue) Regards

Hello and thanks for your report. We pushed a software definition update for this about 2 hours ago. We put T-Rex on our download server instead. Can you please give it a try.

Could you post the changelog to the L3+ firmware update 3.9? Thank you!

Is there a way to add my own miner for a particular coin?

[nordmann666]

is it normal, that in newest Awesome miner firmware i cant set Firmware mining profile anymore? i get "not supported" with first S9 i tried with this new FW

downgrade to 3.8.6 is also not possible anymore?!

whats going on in the firmware section?

and i really still need a hint how to manage Braiins OS+ miners...at least pool config and reboot should work...pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease  

We will very soon release Awesome Miner 9.1 to support the Mining Profile configuration in combination with S9 firmware v3.9.

BraiinsOS is supported for monitoring but the operation support is limited. As most of our users are either running the Bitmain default firmware our the Awesome Miner firmware, these are the two prioritized firmware for Awesome Miner.

In case you can enable SSH on BraiinsOS, can you use this to at least be able to reboot the miner?

so your advice is "use other services and dont buy more licenses, cause it is only for monitoring, which can be done on other platforms for free"?!

liked your tool and all - but...with no effort to get other firmware than vnish to work...it´s a shame...sorry!
also the new 3.9.0 - no way to flash other firmware...you should point to it...but you be silent and take additional dev fee for...what?! (vnish 1,8% - your software 3% or license +2%)

again..dont get me wrong...your tool is great...but service - get worse over time

Thanks for your feedback. It's always a matter of priorities. We would love to support 100% of all ASIC miners and 100% of all firmware combinations out there, but as this isn't realistic we must prioritize based on where we have a demand. So far we have not seen much demand for BraiinsOS and this is the reason why the support is limited. This was simply to answer why the support for BraiinsOS is limited today (low demand) - it was not a statement that we never will improve the BraiinsOS integration. We have made a number of adjustments to Awesome Miner in the past to make it more compatible with custom firmware. If there is a demand, we will of course look into it.

I always listen and make notes of all suggestions and requests we get. Based on that we try to make as many users as happy as possible. So your feedback is appreciated.

To answer your question about the dev fee. It's the same for Awesome Miner and all other Vnish firmware. The only exception is for S9 where we have the 3% edition as well. All Vnish based firmware has 2% mining fee for S9 and 3% mining fee for S17. The number 2% is by some marketed as 1.8% as it's closer to 1.8% on average over a longer period of time, while 2% is the maximum at any given moment. We call it 2% to make it simple, while the true average number is actually a bit lower (closer to 1.8%).

For Antminer S17 the dev fee is 3% for all Vnish based firmware, including the Awesome Miner Antminer firmware. The benefit of running the Awesome Miner version of the firmware is that we give you the management and monitoring via Awesome Miner at no additional cost.

We have considered to use the number 1.8% and 2.8% instead of 2% and 3% to avoid any confusion when comparing firmwares.

Version 3.9 includes a new signature check for the firmware in order to prevent Antminer viruses from taking over your Antminer.  There are unfortunately Antminer viruses out that causing major issues for those getting their Antminers infected. This signature check is the reason why a downgrade will be rejected via the web interface. Flashing via SD-card will of course still work so you can change to any other firmware if you want.

UPDATE: I looked into BraiinsOS and BraiinsOS+ and have implemented support for the Reboot and Default Pools operations.

Is there a way to add my own miner for a particular coin?

Yes, in most cases this is possible.

This is a good starting point:
https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000086018-managed-software-add-and-customize-mining-software

Are you using the profit switcher and for a certain algorithm, you want a custom mining software? If you right click on a Managed Profit Miner and select Edit Profit Profile, you will find a list of algorithms. By selecting an algorithm you can modify the mining software to use for this specific algorithm.

I add new coin into my Awesome Miner. But Dynamic update is unable to read value from: https://explorer-us.avn.network/api/getdifficulty.
Please help me

[narousberg]

Hi Patrike, i have converted miners in "Managed Profit Miner" state and configured this miner with Generic miner wich was uploaded to rig Linux system. All work good, but in main view i cant see the temperature and power consumption of the cards in rig. The cards temperature and wattage only can be viewed in down part of main window in GPU tab. Can you please improve AM to show this information in main list view of miners like usualy in "Manged Profit Miner" state. Option "Enable GPU monitoring for Generic Miner" is activated for each miner.
Regards and Mary Christmas.

[narousberg]

Hi Patrike found another bug. I want upload a custom miner software to the Linux rig. This custom mining software folder contain a subfolders with different files, but after uploading AM has created a miner folder in "/root/.local/share/AwesomeMinerService/UploadedSoftware" with miner name without subfolders. The subfolders was put like a files with names: 'bin\cuda-18'  'bin\cuda-20'  'config\config.json'  'data\empty'
Looks like this is old problem with unpacking on Linux systems. The subfolders/files strukture will be wrong copied to destination.
I use AM ver. 9.1 at the moment.

Thanks for your question. When trying with this URL, I do see a value like this in the Response output:
"1098.537839547397"

Awesome Miner is also showing this value in the dialog to indicate it was read successful.

Are other Dynamic update sources working in your case or are all of them failing?

Thanks for the feedback. We will improve this in the next release, to include the temperature readings in the miner list as well for this scenario.

Is there a good linux mining distro for the AM client?
Been running AM for years on my windows rigs, and using the external miner support to monitor t-rex running on hiveOS on my Linux Octominer systems. However, I’d like to get my linux systems profit switching. Is there a linux distro that will still handle the gpu driver/firmware updates and integrate with Octominer fan control/temp monitoring like HiveOS but let me run the Linux Awesome Miner client instead?
Thanks!

use HiveOS distro as Linux platform + Awesome Miner remote Agent and install on Linux all what you want.


Hi Patrike, thanks for ver. 9.1.3, now i can see all GPU temps on main window. Can you please put a power consumption of rig which used Generic miner software. At least i can write some watchdogs rules to control mining process based on power consumtion and also user can quickly control if some rig consume less energy as needed.
Another thing: why if rig configured as managed miner and custom software will be used i cant use GPU selection in miner property window . This field is in locked state.
And please improve a dialog window for uploading custom software, if upload is failed some error description will be nice to see. Many my rigs is connected over VPN and i am not understand why sometimes upload process ends with status "Failed" After that i use scp command and uploading works perfekt. The uploading process to destination Linux machine must be improved. For that i need to see error reports.
Regards.

[narousberg]

Hi Patrike, small bug. In rules names using of symbol "<" causes problem with dysplaing of name. User will see <b> tags in name text. AM 9.1.3
And can you please initialize a mining time variable if using custom software, need for creating some rules.
Can you please add blue color for card temperature to track cold cards opticaly.
Regards

Hi Patrike,

we filled the field additional operating cost (per day) with 1 Euro (in Options/Profitability) but the profit per day/month is not changing - no matter what value we use?!

Thanks for the update and for all feedback.

I will look into the power consumption for this scenario as well. In general the concept is related to having a mining pool with a known coin, but I will review possible improvements for your scenario.

GPU selection is only available for custom software where you have set the compatibility to either "Full" or "Command line", as these are the only two cases where Awesome Miner knows how to setup the device selection parameters.

The upload feature has a certain timeout that you might run into, where Awesome Miner considers the upload to fail if it takes too long time to complete.

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for your question.

Additional operating cost globally (via the Options dialog, Profitability section) will only affect the total "Profit per day" and "Profit per month" displayed on the dashboard. It will not change anything on the miner itself, as this it's a global mining farm cost and not a per-miner cost

To configure an additional cost per miner, please use the concept of Profit Profiles (configured via the Options dialog, Profit Profiles section). Each miner can have one Profit Profile. In the Profit Profile properties, you will find the "Power and cost" section where you can add costs per miner.
