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

[patrike]

ok so just read the path in the diag output.

did a copy/paste from a machine that was working to the broken machine... BAM!  works now.

WTF!   AM should have tried to redownload the app, maybe its a bug?  idk either way  thanks for pointing me to the diag file which helped solve the issue!

Even if you resolved the problem already, I will still give an answer in case you or someone else run into a similar issue in the future.

"The system cannot find the file specified" is almost always an indication that Awesome Miner did download the mining software, but when it's about to get started, your security software already removed the mining software. That's why the file for the mining software cannot be found.

Awesome Miner will automatically try to download it every time you try to start the miner if the file is missing - but if it keeps getting removed it will not work.

I've quite recently added this Troubleshooting GPU Mining guide on the web site, that will help with the most common issues that the Diagnostics might indicate:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/troubleshooting-gpu.aspx

Although you already tried with disabling Windows Defender, sometime it activates itself again and simply continue blocking. I also have a guide on the web site how to configure exclusions in Windows Defender to solve this:

I am interested in the custom C# scripting features as well, but it's unclear from the documentation how to do this. I've search for resources or examples beyond the AM docs on how to create and implement the scripts. Any help is appreciated. Maybe we could even start a Git project to house some useful scripts with docs on how to use. I'm interested in creating some custom logging of mining activities and events.

How do we run the c# scripts? Should we put them in a specific directory to be interpreted by awesome miner or should we develop an executable using those interfaces? If second option, which dll's should we reference?

Ok, I solved it by adding reference to am executable.

Were you actually able to get that to work? I was not successful.

Yes, just add a reference to AwesomeMiner.exe and import required namespaces like "AwesomeMiner.Infrastructure.Contracts.Miner" and "AwesomeMiner.Components.Intelligence.Scripting".
But apart from that it didn't fulfill my expectations because the interface does not contain methods like creating a new pool.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I'm finding I cannot create new or update custom coins via the API which is extremely frustrating and disappointing.

I have clarified this on the web site now.
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/script.aspx

Please let me know what specific information you want me to clarify or improve in addition to this.


The scripts are only intended to be executed as part of an Awesome Miner Rule, where Triggers or Actions are used. The scripts cannot be used from an external application or be developed in Visual Studio. To integrate with Awesome Miner from external applications, the Awesome Miner HTTP API should be used.

To start using the script feature, go to the Options dialog, Rules section and create a new user defined rule. A C# script can be added as either a Trigger or an Action.

A C# script for a Trigger can return a list of miners to signal that it has triggered for those miners. The complete list of miners is passed in to the Trigger as an input parameter. Return null to not trigger.

A C# script for an Action has a list miners passed in as an input parameter. The action is intended to be executed for this list of miners.

Try double check windows defender settings, make sure you add AwesomeMiner folders in %appdata% (I did for both Local and Roaming) as exclusions. most likely Windows removed the downloaded files or prevented AM from downloading the miner software.

Hello Patrike,
I noticed something a little annoying regarding coins statistics. If i set AM to use 24h average statistics to decide what to mine, then the price of coins displayed in the bottom bar change to an average price on the last 24h too.
Would it be possible to have the coins listed in bottom bar to always list the current price even if i use 24h average for profit switching ?

That's a good point. This will consider making this change.

Please let me know what specific information you want me to clarify or improve in addition to this.

Can I get a pointer on how to update my custom coins automatically via either the C# or HTTP API? It's useless for me to update them manually..

Patrike, can you point me in the right direction? I'm trying to update a custom coin with the C# scripting interface and I am unsure how to save my updates back (or if It even functions like this)

Code:

public class ActionScript
{
private ContextProvider Context = ScriptManager.Context;


public bool Execute(List<IMinerBase> list)
{

Muncoin bob = new Muncoin();
bob.SetProperties("", 0, 0, 0);
return true;
}

}

public class Muncoin : ICoinStatProvider
{
public string coinShortName;
public double difficulty;
public double reward;
public double valueBtc;

public Muncoin()
{
}

public void SetProperties(string _coinShortName, double _difficulty, double _reward, double _valueBtc)
{
coinShortName = "MUN";
difficulty  = 10;
reward = 10;
valueBtc = 10;
}

}

I REALLY need some way to automatically update custom coins..

What's possible with C# script today is using:

Code:

void SetProperties(string coinShortName, double difficulty, double reward, double valueBtc);

Code:

public class ActionScript
{
private ContextProvider Context = ScriptManager.Context;

public bool Execute(List<IMinerBase> list)
{
Context.CoinStat.SetProperties("LTC", 3700000, 25, 0.019);
return true;
}

}

The drawback is that it's more intended for coin properties based on difficult and similar parameters.

Sometimes it's easier to just set profitability in BTC per MH/s, and I can implement that for you over the HTTP API in the next release if needed. It could be something like:
POST /api/coins/LTC?profit=0.000014

The path is correct.

v10.2 was used by Awesome Miner 4.3.1.
v10.3 is used by Awesome Miner 4.3.2

If the folder 10.2 exists it indicates that the previous version was downloaded and extracted successfully. That however not helping the situation for the new versions. Can you please try to manually remove all content of this folder to force Awesome Miner to download it again:

[tf2addict]

I know this has been brought up before but it really would be nice to be able to easily switch between a managed miner and a profit miner.  It would certainly make things quite a bit easier for us.  As it works now the best workaround is to just create two different miners for each rig, right?  Not a huge deal for only a handful of rigs but that will quickly get cumbersome for more than a few.
