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

Your software does not work except on your coin address in your batch file.

It is fraudulent

All I had to do was put in my bitcoin address instead of yours, and voila! instantly destroyed your software.

Your software mines fine when it is paying YOU.

It does not work at all when it is someone else who is being paid.

I have a few S9's running with 2 pools, antpool and zpool. 2 miners show Antpool as alive, and are mining fine, 6 others show antpool as dead and will only mine on zpool. Anyone run into this issue? Double checked my pool info. Not sure if it's an awesome miner issue or if its in the antminers.

The pool status like Enabled / Dead / Disabled is listed in Awesome Miner exactly as the Antminer provides the information. If a pool is Dead, the Antminer considers it to be Dead. This is not releated to Awesome Miner.

You are very wrong here. Awesome Miner is simply launching mining software based on your configuration. It's very open about what command line is being used and you can verify it using the diagnostics button.

If you have any questions about your configuration, please use the Diagnostics button and share the details and we will help you. Please drop the false accusations. Awesome Miner has successfully been used by a large number of users over several years, both in small scale and large scale mining operations. I would never ruin the business and solid reputation by stealing a few cents from someone setting up mining for the first time.

Does anyone else have problems with benchmarking?
I'm trying to run the benchmarks, but the miner keeps telling me there's no pool added. I can mine just fine if I press Start, but the benchmarks can't find any pool.

I've even followed the guide to add your own algorithm to benchmark, and it still can't find it.

Only tried with CryptoNight so far. Anyone got any ideas?

" No pool specified. Add at least one valid pool using the -xpool parameter "

You must have missed a setting. Profit Switching Profiles also need to be checked as well as the mining software.

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx   << See the section -- Profit Switching Profile Properties

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/benchmark.aspx

Also check to see what pools have been enabled.

Configuration section >> http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx

Yeah, I thought so too. I've checked and double checked everything now. I even did a clean install on both systems, and I just can't get it to find the pool when I'm benchmarking.

It finds it just fine if I just press Start. It'll happily start mining away.
I find it really odd that it would be different when benchmarking like this.

Right click the miner and do a diagnostic check and post the results here (remove your wallet address before you post it).

I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. It looks like this one was hashing perfectly fine. Do you still experience issues?

Hello, I'm very brand new to the world of mining and even newer to awesome miner. I've moved here from the sad burning pile of ashes that is Nicehash =(

I've managed to figure out how to mine ETN from easyhash.io and its going decently but I'd like to learn more! I didn't configure anything and just put in the necessary info and just let it run. Are there any guides/tricks to tweak it a bit to run more efficiently/better? (not exactly sure if this is the best or something else would be more profitable?)

Also I managed to learn the managed miner thing but wasn't sure of the managed profit miner aspect of it. Basically it switches between different pools right? I don't know why it wouldn't work. Do I need to set some stuff up first (wallets, sign up to something?, verify some stuff?)?

Thanks guys!

First of all, Welcome!

Nice that you have a setup running. The Managed Profit Miner will automatically change mining software, algorithm and pool based on what is currently most profitable. You will find it described in more detail here:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx.

Although you can use your own pools in the profit switcher, many people simply enter their Bitcoin address for some of the built-in pools and no additional configuration is required. Please keep in mind that Awesome Miner itself is not a mining pool and that all payouts will be from the pools you enable for the profit switcher.

"Awesome" man!  The Cast support works perfectly.  You just made my life a lot simpler, thank you

Can someone walk me through or give me a link to the easiest way to setup AM for GPU mining Lyra2rev2 and Equihash on miningpoolhub? Having some difficulty getting connected and getting AM to start mining.

Thank you for the welcome and response! I'll definitely have a read.

One more question though. I was mining ETN and it calculated total per day at around 10 dollars. Its been running for about 18 hours and its only about 4 dollars without much fluctuation of the price of ETN. Is that normal?

The ETN calculators grossly over estimate profit, especially depending on what pool you are on.  The only pools I have found that pay close to calculated are Suprnova, HashVault, and Nanopool.   This over estimation is why WhatToMine recently took ETN off their site for a few days and have since applied a "bad luck" factor ("bad luck" is another name for poorly run pools or scam pools).

Hi Patrick, I created a group on the social network Vkontakte for Russian speakers with a brief instruction on how to use it. all links go to your official website. I hope you will not be offended.

Here's a possible issue:  why can't I edit the "Add to worker name" field on a template (under General->Mining Pool)?  I am using a built-in miner and and have selected a pool.  I can edit the field ok on the managed miner's properties with the same other settings.

Patrike,

Can you check out the code in Awesome Miner for a bug.

Some new users have joined zpool, used a bitcoin wallet (BTC), but in the wallet (stats page) at zpool it's set as BCH.

I love you patrike thanks so much for this update

I just have one question, I see cast-xmr in "managed miners" but I can't select it in my profit profiles, how do I make my miners use it for cryptonight?

yeah, mine is doing that.
I really hope this is a zpool bug and not another fuckup.

-edit-

works as expected on pool.hashrefinery.com with same btc address.

I can't find any info on how to configure my cards separately -- I don't want my 1060s running the same algo as the 1080s, for example. Is this not supported?

You will need to setup two managed miners, one for each set of cards.  Then you will have to select mining software that lets you include or exclude specific GPUs... like Claymore's.  So on one manage miner, you have it run the mining software only using the 1060s, and on the other, you set it to only mine with the 1080s.  It's a complex setup, but it is doable.  The key is that the mining software has to allow you to include or exclude GPUs.

I noticed the inaccurate ETN calculations too. I changed ETN profitability to 0.67, and now it matched WTM a lot closer.

Patrike,

Can you check out the code in Awesome Miner for a bug.

Some new users have joined zpool, used a bitcoin wallet (BTC), but in the wallet (stats page) at zpool it's set as BCH.

Awesome Miner is not doing anything for this scenario and simply assuming that zpool will go for BTC if nothing is specified explicitly. Awesome Miner do not specify payout coin at all, so this must be investigated from a zpool point of view.

The zpool instructions have always been a bit unclear on this.

-o stratum+tcp://<algo>.mine.zpool.ca:<PORT> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> [-p c=<SYMBOL>,<OPTIONS>]
<WALLET_ADDRESS> must be a valid address. Incorrect addresses will result in forfit of earning.
You can also use any valid wallet address from any of the coins we mine. This feature has had minimal testing so use at your own risk

Awesome Miner is setting the Bitcoin wallet address the user specified. I interpret that you can specify any coin for payout, but that specifying like that is "at your own risk". For that reason, Awesome Miner is not specifying this "c=" parameter. In the past zpool always went for Bitcoin payouts in that scenario.

You can still configure Awesome Miner to add this parameter if you want (via Options dialog, Online Services, modify the zpool entries and add command line "-p c=ABC" or similar).

Further reading on zpool instructions:

c=<SYMBOL> doesn't always work

This is yet another reason why Awesome Miner isn't trying to set this parameter at all.
