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

[patrike]

Hi,
It's true that I've not been active on Bitcointalk for some time because of the lower interest in mining and mining software in the community. Since the beginning of the month, mining is getting more popular again and I can see an increasing interest in Awesome Miner based on all e-mail messages I'm receiving.

Even if this thread has been silent for a while, there have been many active e-mail conversations, to ensure that Awesome Miner users get support. Now when mining is getting more popular again, I will also be more active in this thread.

I just ordered this app for 40$ license... no suport yet and i am getting some "miner offline" status notification but my miners are online.

Any help on this?

Just disable the notification for offline detection under Options - Rules and don't expect any support from author on here.

Ok.. i bought the license for this shit with notification email

This is a topic we have been discussing by e-mail the last week, and thanks to the log file you provided, I was able to find the problem with the Offline notifications. I've sent you yet another message, this time with instructions how to apply the patch for this issue.

The correction for this problem will also be included in next release of Awesome Miner.

Please continue reporting issues and provide suggestions for future releases. Happy mining!

Hope the issue mentioned here can be fixed in the next version.

Other ideas -
It would be nice to be able to choose what algorithms are displayed in Online Services (i.e. hide uninteresting ones)
An option for the home user with 4 or less miners to have C# scripting without upgrading to Premium edition (maybe $40 price point)
auto update of balance
choice of local currency for balance
choice of local currency for power cost
ability to hide coins of no interest
ability to disable worker name suffix in pool configuration

Keep up the good work, I really like the program.

Thanks for the feedback. There are currently no plans for mobile applications, but Awesome Miner has a built-in Web feature, where you can access the most common features from a web browser. The Web also works fine on mobile devices. See this page for more information:

Thanks for all comments - I will look into the issue you linked to as well.

For the local currency, there is already a feature for this in Awesome Miner Options dialog, Coins section. Can you please try to set Display currency to custom and defined a name and value (compared to USD).

I will add the posibility to hide coins in next release already. For the other suggestions I will consider them for future releases. Many thanks for your feedback.

Thanks, that worked.

Looking forward to the new release.

Yes, you just enter the IP address range you want to scan, for example 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.5.255, and Awesome Miner will add all those miners that are found to the list of miners to monitor. Then they are all monitored and you can control them by selecting one (or many, or all) and perform operations.

Patrike,

Do you have plans for adding ETH and Ethminer as options to Awesome Miner?

Patrike,

Do you have plans for adding ETH and Ethminer as options to Awesome Miner?

No plans right now. The challenge is typically that other mining software doesn't provide any good API's to connect to for monitoring and control

The software looks good.  I have 2 requests/issues.  First I would love to buy a stripped down version for BTC mining only, obviously at a lower price point.  Secondly, I wish the the options to purchase were different.  Obviously the jump from 40 to 200 is to get more money from the large farms but some people have a lot of little miners and $600 is priced a little high. 

I know I would buy it in a minute if I could get a license for 100 miners for BTC only +/- scripting with a price point of about $200. 

Overall it looks great.

Thanks for the feedback.

Pricing is always a difficult topic. What is important to remember is that 100 miners can also be a much larger investment - for example if you buy 100 Antminer S7 you will have to pay $94000 for the hardware. An Awesome Miner license to monitor them (up to 200 miners actually) has a price point of $600. In this scenario to software cost is a very small part of the entire investment.

Having said that, I fully understand your point about the case when you have many smaller miners, where the number of them also are closer to 40 than to 200. It's technically possible for me to provide a license with a 100 miner limit, so we should be able to find a better solution for your setup. Can you please contact me by e-mail? Thanks!

Can't even download this. "the signature of this file is corrupt or invalid"

Can't even download this. "the signature of this file is corrupt or invalid"

Awesome Miner uses a digital signature, and with the latest Windows Updates from Microsoft, these signatures had to be updated as well.
Can you please check out the new version (v1.5.1) of Awesome Miner on the web site and see if it works better:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download.aspx

If it doesn't work with the new MSI installer, you will have to check if you have an outdated security software running on your computer that doesn't allow a standard digitally signed MSI file to execute.

So far I am liking the software, there are a couple of small glitches and a couple of small things that could be changed to make it better.  Overall I am very happy with AwesomeMiner.
