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

[ShafCH]

Needed help,
im new to mining, couple of weeks ago started to mine with 2 pc's with nicehash, and have lost everything i made there when it got hacked..
Since last week ive have been using Awesome Miner, Zpool, but ive not recieved any payout into any of 3 BTC address ive tryed.
2 are Coinbase, and 1 is Exodus btc accounts.
Can anyone help, im just lost, not sure what im doing wrong, or if there is a better way to GPU mine.

the 3 BTC address ive used are.
1BquH6bAwPofgSHWEcoEvPSEewUiqcvjsn
1CBjJs1virgrJue6AynX7pytLu3UyMAkPD
1JUsrhEgosdPmM9pHXdHNUmRCQXHqjyCRE

have no BTC in any of them, any help or advice on what wallet to use and if awesome miner is the best way to gpu mine, or if there is something better.
will be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

The HW Errors Trigger for ASIC is not working any more.
Before last update I picked up the value 11, this figure was not clear to me, it's definitely not "%", but it worked.
After the last update (I think) even 1% does not work, although the errors just fell more than 1000, which was more than 1%. Then I restarted ASIC and got 4% of the errors, but the trigger does not work. ((
Something broked with this.

First of all, thanks for all good discussions going on. I've been super busy today because of the increased interest in mining and especially after the Nicehash-incident. I'm been answering about 150 e-mail messages during the day.

I appreciate everyone that takes their time to try to help out in the discussions. Thanks!

I will start answering on some of the questions, but I will not be able to get to everything today.

How does profit calculation work? I'm hashing equihash at 1.02kH/s or neoscrypt at 2.04MH/s.
Whattomine gives revenue predictions per day of $8.54 mining the most profitable equihash coin and $6.62 mining the most profitable neoscrypt coin.
AM gives renue predictions per day of $8.42 mining equihash and $14.79 mining neoscrypt? What gives?

The HW Percent rule in Awesome Miner is comparing number of HW Errors with the number of Accepted shares and calculates a percent out of that. It's been like that for 3 years. The Antminer HW Error Percent reported directly from the miner may be a bit different. What does Accepted and HW Errors looks like?

I've seen several questions related to if profit estimates are correct. I'm replying to one of them here, but this is really a general answer. The basic idea is that Awesome Miner uses profit information from zpool, MPH, WhatToMine and so on. If they doesn't match, please check the Current vs 24h avg statistics linked to below.

If the profit predictions doesn't match the actual payout, then it's a completely different story and really outside the scope of Awesome Miner. Puwaha always have good comments on these (for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.msg26057460#msg26057460)

I just updated my from 4.1.1 and I noticed (not sure if it was before or not) profit switching for ASICS.
I'm using awesomeminer for S9s to monitor and notify under some rules (speed, offline etc.) I'm not familiar with profit switching on ASICs, can someone explain?
I feel that I'm not using maximum out of this software possibilities even thou I'm running small amount of S9s
any help would be much appreciated.

It's a bit more basic on the Antminers, because it will simply prioritize between the pools already defined on the Antminers (in the Pools tab in the lower part of the screen in Awesome Miner). Please see this description of how it works and how to configure for Antminers:

Hi ive one question. How to fix that for managed miner.

If i add a miner via scan it shows the statistic(hashrate, shares,..)

If i add a managed miner it shows interface offline.

Another question how to switch pool. The miner starts via batchfile pool is also choosen in the batch file. So how can i setup awesome miner that it changes the value -S [Pool] in the batchfile ?

Do you launch the actual mining software from this batch file? Then you probably don't set the API port like Awesome Miner want and it will result in Interface offline. (Please correct me if I'm wrong in my assumptions here)

If you use a Managed Miner, put your command line arguments (except those related to pools and API) in the Command Line section of the Managed Miner and let Awesome Miner do the rest.

If you really want to launch the mining software from a Bat-file, you could connect to it as an External Miner, but then you cannot start/stop mining from Awesome Miner anymore.

Does this miner support switching between 2 different pools? I have set my miner to work with two different pools (zpool and mph) both in global and in miner's setting but apparently only one pool can be used at the same time( I've tried running them one by one and they work fine but they don't detect together).
P.S Also wondering if you can mine wiht CPU using AM because when I click "add miners" it only offers 2 choices: nvidia and amd :/
Thanks in advance

You can add any number of pools to the profit switcher. It will run whatever is most profitable, and you can view this by right clicking on the miner and select View Details. A miner can however only mine on a single pool at a time (with the exception of Claymore Dual Ethereum miner, but that's another story).

You can add a new Profit profile and call it "CPU-profile". Then you simply select that CpuMiner-Opt should be the only available mining software for it. Now you can create a Managed Profit Miner and specify it as "CPU-Profile" and do profit switchin on the CPU.

Here is another question, It seems Awesome Miner is switching based on USD-based profit calculations, is it possible to force it to make decisions based on BTC profits?

All internal calculations are made with BTC first. When displaying it's converted into either USD or what display currency you have selected.
However, even if the calculations was made in USD internally, would it really be any difference? What is most profitable in BTC should be most profitable if you convert to USD as well? (Sorry if I didn't understood your question here)

With Awesome Miner C# Script API how can I call on the miner to get it's local ip address or remote host. I am trying to build something so I can use a pre built in trigger and the action requires me to know the ip of the miner on my local network.

This will be a script everyone is going to want so I will post it here once it is done. More so the guys with lots of miners.

Try this given that you have myMinerObject defined as IMinerBase as an example. Please let me know if it's another scenario.

Code:

(myMinerObject as MinerBase).GetHostname();

Patrike,
At present, yiimp-based pools are very popular.

But on the yiimp-based pools we can not specify rig name through worker (-o), we must do it only through password, like -p c=BTX,RIGNAME1.
Therefore, the Awesome Miner can not specify the name of the RIG through password and there is confusion on the pool - all rigs are unnamed.

Add please the ability to add a rig through a password, somithing like this or in another way

I can implement support for that kind of variables for miner specific worker name in the password field. Hopefully it will not turn out to be too complex.

I'm also planning to add some kind of easy-to-use check box on the Profit switching configuration in the Options dialog that would add "-p c=BTC" by default, because it looks like that's required even if the documentation states otherwise.

Right... so I changed the Rules sections and added a new rule to `highlight in red`the dead miner, before it reboots the dead miner. Now all my miners are permanently Red highlight :-)...

1. I`d love any ideas as to how to remove the Red Highlight (automatically) once the system detects that the Miners are back on line.

You could create a rule to turn it back to "none" highlights.  I would suggest a trigger of Hashrate greater than X, then action to change highlight back to "none".

I know it's a bit hidden, but it's actually possible to "clean" away the color by going to the toolbar: Appearance -> Highlight Miners -> Clear All.

What is the "Balance" tab supposed to display? There's never anything there and I have a substantial balance.

Today the feature is only looking at your coin address (Bitcoin, Litecoin, ...) and display the balance of it using public Block Explorers. See:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinbalance.aspx

The plan for the future is of course to improve it to show your balance from zpool, Mining Pool Hub and so on.

[MrFriendly]

wow...so many questions and not much in the way of answers.  

I am a sad panda.  

if someone is up to answering...is there a way to get realistic reports on production/profit? the figures showing in the app do not match anything near what the pools show in their wallets. it'a quite the deficit. my six 1070's were showing about $5 each/day, but after a day, pool wallet reports are just over $10 total. $30 expected to $10 actual is quite the differential and upsettingly misleading.

ALL my miners have chosen to mine Nist5 for the past 14 hours. Should have pulled in about $60 but Zpool says I have earned $2.98. Not sure if the problem is with Awesome Miner for choosing Nist5, or if the problem is at Zpool. Any other Zpoolers having trouble making earnings the past 24hr?

[spider703]

hi Patrike
but could you add to the console data on the balance of the wallet on the zpool, Hashrefinery in the API
this command looks like this http://www.zpool.ca/api/wallet?address=WALLET_ADDRESS

[cyberdeity]

So I think I might know why my profitability numbers are "off", but not sure how to fix it in AM.

When looking at the miners tab, the Per Day / Per Month numbers seem to be based off the 5s hashrate instead of the WU hashrate.  Since my 5s hashrate is much higher than what the pool shows my hashrate as (which I realize they calculate based on share submission rate), that seems to cause AM to have an inflated amount of revenue/profit.

How can I reconfigure AM to use the WU hashrate instead of the 5s hashrate for revenue/profit?  If it matters, these are Innosilicon A4 ASICs

Below are pics that show the AM stats and the matching pool stats.

thank you for your detailed answer and link below, now everything is clear for me.
One more thing, as you might know I maintain and manage several small-medium-large data centers around the country. I advised some of my clients to buy your software and some of them already did, for some others I need to make some kind of introduction/presentation. It's hard for them to understand why and for what are they paying 600$+. 1. If it is possible to resell your software. 2. If you have some kind of presentation already which I can translate and show to my investors.
Regards
and take your time : )

Awesome post!

Would just like a small clarification in regards to the displayed estimated earnings found on the miners tab in awesome miner. This estimation is based off your hash rate * miningpoolhub BTC/gh values and whattomine.

In terms of profit switching, is this performed only based on the hub you have selected correct?
