้how can i add pool in multipool switching?

[patrike]

Awesome Miner version 4.2.9
- Managed Profit Switching: For each Online Services entry, the password field can be configured to select payouts in other coins than Bitcoin
- AHashPool.com pool added to profit switcher
- GranatGas pool removed from profit switcher (due to instability)
- Moved setting to enable pool configuration via the web interface from the Security section to the Web section to make it available for Professional Edition and above
- Link to the GPU troubleshooting guide from the Diagnostics dialog
- Claymore Cryptonight Miner 11.0
- DSTM Zcash Miner 0.5.7
- Minor corrections

A note about payout options for Zpool and similar pools. In the past it was only possible to pass custom command line via the properties of the Online Services. The drawback was that although "-p c=LTC" command line worked on some mining software, other mining software had different names of the password parameter. With this release a field for Password is introduced in the Online Service configuration, where you can enter "c=LTC" and Awesome Miner will pass it to the mining software using the correct name of the password parameter.

I've been a away a number of days over the Christmas period so I will read up on the latest questions here and give try to provide answers. Some questions I've already answered by mail, so it might look like I ignore some when it's in fact answered already. Also, if I missed any questions that still needs an answer, please remind me later on.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Why is it that when I mine Keccak or SHA-3. that the readings I get using my GTX1080ti is false. I plus this pool passes the 1GH threshold but tells me I earning ALOT but not giving the estimate. Can someone please shed some light on this for me please?!

Can you give us some more information here?  Can you run the diagnostics and post the results?

I am South African so our currency is ZAR and for some reason it says the profit is R4500 per day ($361)?!

As you see the coin is unspecified, suggestions?

Screw it, I'm scraping the pool. Its inaccurate and wasting my electricity. For future readers, avoid mining Keccak unspecified. Its profits per day are wrong on A/M and nobody seems to care.

You are running a too old version of Awesome Miner. Zpool changed their reporting of SHA-3 (Keccak) a number of weeks ago, and later versions of Awesome Miner adjusted to that. Please use a later version of Awesome Miner and the profit figures will look normal again.

Hello,

is there any way how to add algorithm "yescrypt" ?
I have got ccminer with support of this algo (not included in a/m), but i am not able to learn awesome miner to use this external library.

Thanks for all folks

Please see this guide:

Hi,

How can i setup with Innosilicon A4+ LTC Minner?

This miner must manually be configured to allow API connections, and depending on firmware version, it can be different password.

Please see instructions below for Innosilicon A4+:
****
Enter Username : root
Enter Password : innot1t2

telnet to your Miner IP and port 8100 ( no ssh )
edit file /home/inno_py/inno_config.py
value gInnoInitCmdStr at the end of that line replace "--api-listen" with "--api-listen --api-network --api-allow W:0/0"
reboot

****
For later firmware versions, the password for A4+ is: t1t2t3a5

If none of these passwords works, you need to reach out to Innosilicon and ask them what the password is for your specific firmware version.

In the past Innosilicon miners was much easier to work with, but now they are unfortunately making it complicated to allow applications to monitor them.

้how can i add pool in multipool switching?

Hi,
Is this about adding your own custom pool to the profit switcher? That's fully supported as long as Awesome Miner knows the profit of the pool/coin you are mining on. Please add the pool in Awesome Miner via the Options dialog, Pools section. Then you can go to Options dialog, Profit switching section and specify it as a "Custom Pool".

[patrike]

Hello,

please look at profitability calculator at zpool and algorithm "Blakecoin"
In online services show amount about 5€ and when I start to mine, shows me in miners view amount about 14000€.

http://ibb.co/cueX6b
Thanks

When adding custom Online Service pools, it can also be required to set the correct profit factor - as the pools can report this differently depending on algorithm.
In Options dialog, Online Services section, please edit your custom entry and set profit factor to 0.001 for example (if it's about MH/s vs GH/s related)

First post on here, but have used Awesome Miner for about a week now, and it is awesome as the name suggests. Thank you to the developer, I love it.

Just a few feature requests though, if I may make some suggestions for a future release?

* Show calculated profit in the dark tables in the dashboard - this could be in the Revenue section.
* Option to use data from https://walletinvestor.com/forecast to see which of the current coins are most likely to be profitable long-term and perhaps have an option to take that into account - though this is speculative
* Support for miners and profitability calculation for other algorithms, such as Keccak, and others.
* Add support for brand new coins, with the ability to add those into Awesome Miner, with or without profit calculations, but still allowing these to be mined in a round-robin style (for future investment) - i.e. to have the option to pick a bunch that A/M will just switch through, ignoring any profit.
* Add support for Skunkhash - I see the algorithm in Awesome Miner, but no miner to call on to do the mining.
* Add ability to pass the information from the Coins tab to Mining Pool Hub or other multipool with the p=COIN option - to force coin selection based on Awesome Miner's Coin tab profitability calculations - sidenote: this also helps avoid the problem of having "Unspecified algorithm coin" in the Miner window, as this will be selected by A/M.

Bug:

* sgminer and -gm do not play nicely with my Radeon R9 280X and do not start mining at all with Blake2b or NeoScrypt.

Awesome

Thanks for the feedback. A few comments:

* Keccak is supported, but called SHA-3 (another name for the same algorithm). You can also add any other algorithm from zpool or Mining Pool Hub in Awesome Miner, via Options dialog Online Services, even if it's not included in Awesome Miner by default.
* The round-robin style of mining is possible to setup manually using the rules, with Time trigger and Apply template actions. However, I do see your point in making it easier to setup.
* Skunkhash is also supported, and it works with Ccminer out-of-the-box. Any other mining software that support it can be configured for it via Options dialog, Managed Software section

Is there a monacoin blockexplorer api for awesome miner?
I'd like to add monacoin to my list of account balances in Awesome Miner's balance tab

For blockexplorer there's
https://mona.chainsight.info/address/[address]
https://bchain.info/MONA/addr/[address]

But these aren't API results so, don't know how to get a working solution for Awesome Miner to interpret.

Awesome Miner requires an Block Explorer API that returns data (unformatted data structures containing balance information) from the Block Explorer. In this case, the Block Explorer is only a web site, and Awesome Miner will not be able to find the information.

[patrike]

Minor thing.... In cloud service on Notifications page:

"Desription"  --> should be "Description"

Sorry for being an Ant F*cker, as we call it in the Netherlands... 

Thanks for pointing it out. Incorrect spelling gives a bad impression of the software so I will correct it.

[patrike]

SUGGESTION:

The dashboard with graphs of the hashrate is really no use to me because I do profit switching and it is always changing.

What would be MUCH more useful to me is a graph of the profit. actual and estimate.

Actual would get from pool APIs
https://miningpoolhub.com/index.php?page=api&action=getuserallbalances&api_key=APIKEY
https://api.nicehash.com/api?method=balance&id=XXXX&key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
http://www.zpool.ca/api/wallet?address=WALLET_ADDRESS
http://pool.hashrefinery.com/api/wallet?address=WALLET_ADDRESS


YIIMP pools would use "balance"
Nicehash would use "balance_pending" +"balance_confirmed"
MPH would use coin":"bitcoin","confirmed"


Estimated would be a graph of the already used "profit"

I agree that this is important to add. I have this high on my list of features to implement. Thanks for your feedback!

[robl450]

Trying to test this out.   Is there a way to add Ahashpool and is it automatic or do you need to add every coin individually?  Also how to add X17 algorithm?

[poby]

If the rig loses power and restarts 5 minutes later, by that time AM has given up trying to restart the miner.  Is there any way to have it periodically check for a connection and if one is found, to start the miner?   I thought it would do this but it doesn't seem to. If the rig has been offline for a few minutes, it doesn't start up the miner.

thanks, but this is guide how to add new algo into a/m. But i need to add new software-miner. This option is missing.Thanks

[ComputerNerd972]

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a little help setting up AM Remote Agent.

I have AE running on one computer and downloaded the remote agent on another. I also have opened port 9630 on both windows firewalls and my router firewall, however, I'm still getting this error:

"Awesome Miner Remote Agent failed to listen on port '9630'.

I would appreciate any help.Thank you!

Just wanted to give a big thumps up to this app and the developer. The app has been very useful for me (and my needs for TMI and control), and any issues or questions I've had Patrike has been great to help me through.... even when at least one of them turned out to be 'stupid end user tricks'.

Even if you're a small miner I think this app is well worth even the $ for the standard edition (so go buy it). I got the Premium edition, because I have needs and they are semi-well documented, and wanted some additional functionality - I consider it money well spent.

[bar_1]

Hi, everyone, first message here!!!
I would like to give awesome miner a try....I have AMD and Nvidia GPUS....do i just set up 2 miners?

[bleauhaus]

Id Like to volunteer my time to research the needed data to add more coins and pools to AM. i am also willing to host wallets to get realtime Difficulty and block rewards data.

also im not a programmer but i wonder if its possible to run a server that crawls various pools for current hashrate info? maybe python?

[SpriterQC]

I'd like to run Awesome Miner on my Window maching but run remote machine on Ubuntu with only ccminer.  Can Awesome Miner remote control and do profit base algo switching like it can do on windows remote machine?  Any article post on that topic I am interested in reviewing.

Thanks

[VicePrez]

@Patrike,

Not sure if this was answered before, but does Awesome Miner factor in algo fees when Profit Switching between Online Services? If not, would you recommend adjusting the Profit Factor per algo to reflect their respective fees?
