Some questions and issues..

Since this was working great on my first dual 1080ti node, I upgraded, but running into the following problem.
I have a remote AMD node, running 3x R9 290s and a pair of RX580s. Two sets of cards, with very different performance. I’d like to be able to run this as 2 additional “groups” of cards but can’t figure out how. Also, how do I keep different sets of benchmarks? I’ve read the faq, but seems very unclear to me.

You will want to setup 2 different profit miners, one for the 290s and one for the 580s.  You would benchmark one card of each type and save each as a profit profile... then you can assign the profit profile to the correct set of cards via the profit miner.

If these two sets of cards are in the same rig you will need to use mining software that can target specific cards to properly use the profit profile, otherwise the numbers will be off.  Claymore can target specific cards in a rig, sgminer might be able to as well.  You'll need to read the help output of sgminer to get the exact command line parameters to use to include or exclude cards.

Also having some major issues with sgmimer, which I don’t normally use. It keeps detecting my igpu. Also noticed that it’s the old 32bit version?

SGminer is funky old software for sure, but there are a ton of commandline switches for it.  You might be able to exclude the iGPU.  I think if you use the --gpu-platform option you can tell SGminer to only use the AMD cards.

Lastly, for my nvidia rig, how do I use different versions of ccminer for different algorithms? I see the main tpruvot 2.23 fork, and the Alexis78, but need to add others as well. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to do this?

Yes, you can do this... it's a little out of place and not where you think it would be (its not in the options dialog)...

Here are the instructions:  http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/uploadsoftware.aspx

For profit per day that the miner shows, is that after power costs?  or where do I see after power costs?  I assume it shows that since its making us input power costs.

Yes, you can see this on the Coins or Online Services tab.  They show the Revenue (which is before power costs) and the Profit (which is after power costs) for each coin or algorithm respectively.  If you have your miners tab set to "list" from the appearance tab then AM will show the revenue and profit for each miner.  If you have it set to compressed list then it will only show the revenue.

The list view will also show you daily and monthly revenue/profit projections... though... those values should be taken with a grain of salt as we all know things change quickly in the mining world.

Hello. I recently purchased Awesome Miner license and also the cloud services. I recieved the confirmation emails, succesfully registered the software and all went well. Then, I tried to create the cloud service account and it will not allow me to log in. The website always tells me I have the wrong password. I have tried password recovery but never get an email. I also emailed support, but have not heard back. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just stuck to wait longer? Thanks.

I think I see it now, problem is, with zpool and my card, it basically just wants to stay on nist5 all day when multipool miner would swap 20 times during the day.

I had this problem on one of my rigs. I had to find the Microsoft Uninstall entry in the registry for Awesome Miner and delete the entire registry key. Definitely backup your registry before trying it.

To backup launch regedit > File > Export > Export Range All > Name the file and click Save

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall > Expand and then click on the "keys" (folders) that start with something like "{03AC" and go through each one until you find the one with DisplayName of "Awesome Miner Remote Service". Delete the entire key folder. Mine was called {6582A3A0-070D-4F0D-8282-698E5F881FB4} but I believe those Key IDs are generated randomly. After I did that I could install the new version without issue.

When trying to setup a new miner it would be very useful to be able to preview the command line, because if the miner exits instantly there is no time to read errors or use 'View Details'

Same profit switching issue as well. I noticed under the View Details tab the profitable coin that it's not mining has disappeared yet under the same Profit Profile/Online Services the algo/coin that is most profitable still appears.

Re-adding and restarting seems to fix it temporarily but after a few minutes it disappears and switches to a less profitable option.

Hopefully this helps in debugging the issue.

I've identified some scenarios where the Profit Profiles didn't fully work as expected. Once v4.3 is made available, can you please try again?

I've noticed a few similar posts about the profit switcher as well. So once you are on version 4.3 and if you run into any issues again, please send me an e-mail with the following details:
1) A screenshot of the View Details dialog showing the Profit switching information
2) Information about which coin is being mined and if that is what was expected or not
3) Log files both for Awesome Miner and from the Remote Agent (if used)
4) The exact time when it happend

Version 4.3 will be relesed within the next 8 - 10 hours. Many thanks!

Upgraded my small test rig and noticed that it switched to Skein and dropped my profit from $6 per day with Equihash to $0.000016 with Skein. It appears that sgminer-5.6.1-nicehash-51-windows is being executed for Skein and for some reason that miner is trying to using the onboard Intel video instead of the 2 RX 5xx series AMD cards this small rig has.

According to profit details though Skein is more profitable than Equihash right now so the problem doesn't appear to be with Profit Switching but maybe the miner app or how the miner is being executed through AM?

You can see this info in the log file.  Actually what's in the log is more useful than the details as it also shows the executable path which in some cases can be the cause of the problem.

What kind of rig are you running?  Did you benchmark one of the cards if they are all the same type?  What is the switching interval set to?  If you right-click the profit miner, and click on View Details, you can see the numbers that AM is using to do any profit switching.

You can always right click the miner and select Diagnostics to see the command line and any error messages before launching a new miner/pool/software, etc.

It is still going to Skein even though it is not the best.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with power usage?

Anyone else having this issue?

@AwesomeMiner -

Why is it that your BTC/GH/Day numbers for MiningPoolHub are always wrong / late / wildly-inaccurate?  I'm looking at the MPH homepage and the numbers shown there bear zero resemblance to what's in your program right now.

In comparison, your numbers for ZPool.CA are spot-on, always.

This is my third time asking for assistance, any help is appreciated...

When I run a benchmark, none of my results are saved.  It used to save the results about 3 or 4 versions ago normally, but now it doesn't.  I have ensured that I have the proper profile selected and benchmarks checked, and I click "Save to Profile" and the "Configured Hardware" column updates with the values that were received during the benchmark....but when I close the benchmark and examine the profile in the options dialogue none of the benchmark results were actually saved.

I can run the benchmark, record the results manually, and edit the values in the profile under the options dialogue, so I'm not entirely sure why my results aren't saving.  I can provide logs, but I don't really see any errors - but I also don't know what I'm looking for.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and this is occurring on two systems now and I'm entirely unsure why.

Also - I threw this in initially a while back, but I don't think anyone saw it (or maybe no one cared? does anyone else think this would be useful?), but I would really like a "sustained" benchmark option so that I can selectively run an algorithm until I decide to stop it.  I want to be able to get up and check my watt meter during the benchmark, but I don't really have a way to look at both at the same time - especially if i'm doing a remote benchmark on a headless unit.  It would also be nice if I could edit wattage values in the benchmark section.

Zpool gets DDOSed a lot.  Or they could be having an issue with that particular pool.  It happened to me on MPH from time to time.

What is the makeup of the rig you are trying to benchmark?  Does it have all the same types of cards?  (e.g all 1070s)  Are you giving the benchmarked profile a new name?  Are you benching a single card, or trying to do each one individually?
