[Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners

[xChackOx]

First of all, I did identify a scenario with Profile groups in combination with dual hashrates and the profit switcher that wasn't correct - so thanks for pointing that out before.

For the second scenario, it's important to understand that that the Profitability information in the log file is listing the primary hashrates. It might be that Decred primary hashrate is more profitable tha Sia primary hashrate, but you may have configured a different dual (secondary) hashrates for them, and when used together with Ethereum, it's their dual hashrates that is used for the calculation. Maybe I should log the dual hashrate profits as well?

You're welcome. I like to troubleshoot stuff and AM interests me so I want it to work efficiently. I hope you re-enable BTC payments soon so I can buy it, I don't have access to foreign currency (I'm from Venezuela).

About the dual hash rate. I'm not sure if you're already doing it, but I think it would probably be better if AM stored the dual hash rates separately from the single ones: ETH, SIA, ETH+SIA for example. It would also make it clearer for the user when reading the profitability screen because you could exactly specify which algorithm is the most profitable instead of just showing an asterisk. And of course, logging that would be even clearer. For reference, that's how NiceHash Miner Legacy does it:

Couple feedback, suggest:

- on android i would use this: https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/installtohomescreen very nice feature and does not looks hard

-and push message : https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/codelabs/push-notifications/

- I do not like when I close my laptop (in sleepmod or off) the Awesome Miner does not keep tracking the miners activity, I am not able to see how many times was restart or anything else and also I do not get any push, mail, message about my notifications rules
I think you should do something with Awesome Miner Remote Agent, example give smtp options, tracking feature and sync (when  Awesome Miner is off the agent keep tracking and sending push, mail (no need to remote controll only just for information) after Awesome Miner is back just make a sync.

I seen there is a plan for online managing but I would not use it specialy if this features can be done.

Keep up, nice job!

I this only local monitoring? I mean can i have acces to my minera where i m out of my house?

Hello, tell me, I'm trying to add a new algorithm in AM, online statistics are loaded for a new algorithm, but how to specify what to dig it with?

[Storx]

Hey patrike,

How is profits calculated on coins your mining, I am trying to understand how the numbers its displaying are being created, because when i do manual calculations on my profits via hashrate, diff, and exchange rate.. im getting around 30% less than the numbers displayed in the software. So not sure if it is a bug specific to signatum or not, as ive not been mining really anything else lately..

[puwaha]

I this only local monitoring? I mean can i have acces to my minera where i m out of my house?

Yes, if you enable the web access.  You'll need to port forward on your router to access the computer that is running AM.

Tell us what algo your trying to mine, so we can kinda be more specific and if its a profit miner or managed miner your attempting to use

Yes, if you enable the web access.  You'll need to port forward on your router to access the computer that is running AM.

So i will need the computer to be online 24/7?

Hello, testing AM before commercial purchase, trying to add custom coin to show income estimation by mining speed.

Unable to configure this, perhaps a learning curve on my end, but I seem to be stuck at this point. For me this is a very important feature.

Perhaps someone could walk me through how to add a custom coin and have it display estimated income from a given miner?

Example: I am using a custom ccminer uploaded (this works fine), I would like to add Solaris (XLR) NIST5 algo, as a custom coin and have my miner display income estimate.

I have added it but it does not pull info from whattomine, I believe I am missing a step here, please help , thanks.

Well, yes... if you want to be able to access the web interface 24/7.  Patrike mentioned that a cloud version could be in the works later.

Click Options, go to the Coins and Profit tab.  Under User defined coins, add a new one.  Fill out all the info as best you can.  The most important fields are the Difficulty, Block Reward, and Value in BTC ones.

The development (beta) versions of AM have newer versions of ccminer, but I don't know if they have the tribus algorithm specifically.  So, it's probably easier to download the version of ccminer that has tribus (look on the Denarius ANN thread first posting) and have AM upload it to the miner.  Then, from there, it's a matter of setting up your pool as normal, and when you setup the managed miner make sure you are using your custom software.

I tend to manually upload new mining software to my miners (put it somewhere easy to find like c:\miners) and then just tell the managed miner in AM to use a specific path or use the browse button to the exact path on the hard drive where I uploaded the new software.  It's super easy to open up an explorer window and get access to the remote computer's hard drive via the \\computername\c$ shares to upload new "experimental" versions of mining software.

How to set Zpool currency (AM 3.2.5 dev)

According to Zpools website we should set our currency in your password field: c=<SYMBOL>.

How do I do this in AM?
I tried to add it to the bitcoin address field, but this does not work. Instead I get this:

Both fields get highlighted  

There are no good way of setting a parameter per pool as part of the profit switcher that I can think of right now. Maybe this should be a setting for each entry on the Online services page in the Options dialog.

Both fields shouldn't be highlighted in this scenario, so I will correct that.

My understanding was that you only had to provide this parameter to zpool if you mine to a non-BTC wallet address.

Thanks for your feedback. The concept is that you always have Awesome Miner running. The Remote Agents can only restart crashed processes on their own, but not use the powerful rules and so on.

Yes, if you enable the web access.  You'll need to port forward on your router to access the computer that is running AM.

Well, yes... if you want to be able to access the web interface 24/7.  Patrike mentioned that a cloud version could be in the works later.

Thanks for your comments on this. I'm planning to have a preview of the Cloud version available within the next 1 - 2 weeks.

For the Cloud version, you will still need Awesome Miner running locally. The difference will be that instead of Awesome Miner hosting the web interface like today, with the Cloud services enabled Awesome Miner will instead push your mining statistics to a server in the cloud. Then you will use your web browser to login to this cloud server. The web interface will look exactly the same as the web interface you have in Awesome Miner today.

The benefit of the new Cloud services is that you don't have to configure firewalls anymore. You will be able to access the web interface from any Internet connected computer or phone without having to setup firewalls and VPNs.

In addition to the web interface, the new Cloud services will also bring some other features that will make Awesome Miner better.

I also load the miners myself, but here's how to get the AM to dig the chosen algorithm on a certain miner I can not figure out. I tried to indicate the trip to the mine on such a minor, so all the algorithms switched to this miner. Removal of the added miner and algorithm lines did not help, I had to reinstall AM

Here's an example of what I mean...



In this example, I downloaded a custom Signatum version of ccminer.  I uploaded it to my desktop on the remote computer.  You can use the Browse button to find the EXE directly from the remote computer, or just type the path on the remote computer where the custom miner software is.
