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

[asmoranomar]

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?

TLDR first: Various Rigs.  Single Vega 64 for now. Clone of AMD Default. Single Card Benchmark /w both Single Algo & Entire Series Algo tests.

Various rigs in various configurations, always a single GPU under a cloned profile of either the AMD or Nvidia default profile (so I don't mess up other profiles).  Specifically, the one I'm trying to do the past few days is a Vega 64 card in both a local and remote configuration on a windows 10 pro system, both pretty much configured minimal.  I've even reformatted once on the test machine (and switched mobos in the process), but I don't want to do it on the one I actually have dedicated to monitoring my other systems.  But, as I mentioned before, I can switch one of my Nvidia remotes from my dedicated monitoring system to the test bench remote and it does the same thing (I don't have a spare Nvidia card to actually toss in the test unit atm). Doesn't matter if I'm doing a single algo bench or an entire series of algo's.

Looks like same problem here with not saving benchmarked results. When i go to main -> edit profit profile, most algoritms showing "custom" hash rate with right hash rate like in benchamarks, but some was showing default with "0 mh/s" and i had to manually input same values from benchmarks to this window. I have 4 same gxt1080 and benchmark only 1 card, not combined and i'm using default "nvidia gpu" profile and "save to profile" saves results to benchmarks window, but looks like some of them are not used even after saving (for example X17 wasnt saved + few more). Version 4.3 here, but i did benchmarks before with older version and saved them to profile and only now found where to check those rates after other peoples noted about this problem. Rebenchmarking with 4.3 and saving to profile still will not update some results in profit profile and after multiply tries just entered them manually. I'm only one who thinks that Awesome Miner have too complicated user interface for some basic features?

Following the recent update, Awesome Miner now has new algorithm added like x17.  If you did so prior to the upgrade, you will need to delete these algorithm and perform benchmark again.  Otherwise there is a conflict.  I did so and everything work as expected.

Hope this help.

Hi all,

Is there a way to include xmr-stak 2.x in profit mining ?
I'm using an old GTX 480 to mine CryptoNight altcoins (275H/s 80W) and xmr-stak is the only GPU miner accepting this GPU so far.

I managed to add it as an external miner but I only get stats ...
For example can I add multiple user managed softawares to call a dedicated coin .bat (this .bat replace config.txt and launch xmr-stak)

TIA

If I understand this well, when I am looking at online service and AHashPool is reporting way higher profitability for X17 then ZPool, in reality there is no reason for this to be true right?  This just means that the "luck" factor in the past 24 hours was favoring AHashPool.  Do I get this right?

Thanks for your help.

i find cracked version of this program, maybe someone want try it

Seriously... not cool.  Patrike makes a free version available to test to see if it fits your needs.  I've reported the post to the moderator.

You need to make the exceptions in your Antivirus for the mining software folder on your rigs.  Here's a guide for Windows Defender.  You just need to do the same for AVG on the same folder.

If you were to only select one algo to benchmark, run it... can you save it to the profile?

i dont understand one thing, here is my screenshot of details about algo switch   https://i.imgur.com/3Ge0cJi.png , but it keeps jumping from x17 to blake2s (that is almost end of the list), and sometimes it includes neo and equihash to the mix. As far as i understand, it should change from x17 to c11 and back, am i right? if so, what is the issue?

[toptek]

yet another request :?) ... Minor thing so no rush did it with a big update .... if you do it ...
 
Switch apply template Menu like the Switch pools menu on the right click content menu .


Please ...

Happy new Year i hope yours and all will be a good one ..despite the clue less jerk in charge ...

If you go to the options, what services do you have enabled under Profit Switching?  If it's only Zpool, do you have C11 enabled in your Profit Switching Profile, in Algorithms, and as an entry for Zpool under Online Services?

I've seen a bug multiple times where the Console view will flash between the currently selected miner and the previously selected one.

Balance doesn't seem to work for zcash.  I have tried configuring with various blockexplorers and the addresses work on the web but not in AM.  Would be nice if this was fixed.

i have zpool, minihpooluhb and nicehash enabled, all algos are enabled. In options i have profit switch thereshold, enable managed profit switching, select btc payout and make predefined pools available everywhere ticked.

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?

First of all, your sgminer output indicates that it uses your Intel onboard GPU. To correct that:
Right click on the miner and select "Edit Profit profile". Select Sgminer in the list of mining software and click Configure. Add the following in the Command Line section:
--gpu-platform 1

You screenshot shows that Skein is most profitable, and Skein is what is being mined. However, your actual hashrate is very low so you are not getting the profit according to your profile - and it's what your profile defines that is used by the profit switcher. If you either benchmark or manually update your Profit profile with the correct hashrate for Skein, the profit switcher will no longer favor it as much.

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.

Hi,

I answer the almost all e-mail messages within 24-48 hours. I might have answered you already, but if not, please make sure you sign up for a Cloud subscription first. Please follow these three steps (it's common to miss step #1):

Double click on mining software to configure please

Happy New Year AM Team, keep up the Awesome Job you are doing !!

In the latest releases you can double click on a miner to open Properties. Or was it another feature you were looking for?

[patrike]

Anyone else having this issue?

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.

That's correct. I just verified and today it works fine with Zpool Tribus.

[patrike]

@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.

Some of the numbers on MPH website are normalized for AMD and nVidia, please don't look at those. Also, please see this guide about how to configure Awesome Miner for 24 average profit statistics:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinstats.aspx

This will probably make the numbers in Awesome Miner look more similar to what MPH list.
