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

[AykutCanturk]

I'm experimenting Awesome miner and I faced a strange behavior. I user suprnova for ZEN, configuration is okay and works with 230sol.
When I run bat file from directory without awesome miner it works with 410sol.
I seems that AWminer runs on hald sol rate.
configuration is so simple and I get command line parameters that AWminer passes to miner.exe, wrote them to bat file and again speed is 430sol.
speeds in AWminer and suprnova web site are consistent. There's no mistake.

my friends do you ever faced same problem ?

bat file and AWminer parameters (they both same) as follows:

miner.exe --server zen.suprnova.cc --user myworker.myworker1 --pass x --port 3618 --cuda_devices 0 1 2 3 4 5 --api 0.0.0.0:4030

another saying: when I run this line from command prompt speed is 410sol. When AWminer calls this program, from exact same location, with exact same arguments speed is 230sol.

I have only one card, win10 with all updates and AWminer 4.3.2
thanks.

Ok..this is driving me crazy.
If I want to use a *different* version of ccminer for certain algorithms, how do I do that?
Currently for example, there are two options. CCminer, and CCminer alexis. Between the two of them, those cover a good number of algorithms. Now I need to add more:
cc-miner SPMOD for example for phi, or ccminer-Palgin or KlausT for Lyra2z, etc
Options/managed software lets me add iser defined mining software, but its useless because there is no place to point to the binaries
if I go to options/managed miners, I can specify a mining software.exe file, but this seems to be apply to ALL algorithms on that miner, which is again, useless.
Either I simply don't understand the management paradigm, or I'm doing something wrong. There was previous advice to follow directions here:
http://awesomeminer.com/help/uploadsoftware.aspx
But again, useless. That just puts the executable on a remote system.
All I am trying to do is:
Add additional versions of ccminer to the managed software list, with the ability to point to the *specific* ccminer executable for each version of ccminer
Then, click on each ccminer version and assign it specific algorithms.

Sorry, its been really frustrating trying to figure this out.

1 First up, you download and extract the files if needed to you local machine where AM runs.
2. Setup the software in Options -> Managed Software -> Add... in User Defined mining software, for ccMiner forks it's straight forward full api and cli support, just enable the algo with the checkboxes that you want the fork to run on.
3. disable the default ccminer on the algo via the same way by editing them in the top section (predefined mining software), or else you are looking into AM conflicting on the same algo, which then it'll determine which to use via the order they are placed in your Profit Profile.
4. go to the profit profile used for your miner once the algo has been enabled, select the newly added software and click Configure... button, there you need to specify the EXE file of the User defined software, make sure you are browsing the correct host, below is the specific command line parameters if you needed.

if you want to make sure it is setup properly, the benchmark window will show which software is configured to run which algo, go from there, bench, save and mine away!


***
Once you have it running on your local machine (if that is a mining rig too), you can go with the documentation you read on how to set it up on remote mining rigs.

Thank you! Step 4 was the part I was missing

Hey patrike

why does any ssl port i use with awesome miner and Dstm Miner keep doing below ?, an if i by pass Awesome miner, Dstm Miner works fine on any ssl ports ...

is Am blocking encryption or is there another setting i can't find ?.
  
Here what i use at command line without AM that does work.

zm --server ssl://zec.slushpool.com --port 4443 --user youruser.minername

@ command line without using Awesome miner ...

below doesn't work using AM.

using the same setting i can connect using a normal port with AM and using the normal port setting.

I'm going to be setting up a basic rig with two GTX 1060 and 1 GTX950 to start.  Do I set them up just as one miner or as one miner for the 2 GTX 1060 and 1 miner for the GTX 950?    Also, do I setup awesome miner on the rig itself or should I run awesome miner on another computer?

I don't think you can break the gpu's out like that because of the way they get reported by the OS/Miner software.

I set AM up on my main computer and use remote agents on the mining rig.  Works great, so really for the second question the choice is yours.

Can you please check if profit switching ignores "power" settings in the profile? Seems as if profit switching only switches for "revenue" not for "profit" as seen in the online services tab.
As seen here...

http://fs1.directupload.net/images/180115/m3gjbiml.png

cryptonight would be more profitable, because it consumes less power - but it is mining yescrypt. I don't care about the few cents, just wanted to show, that there might be a bug.
Btw. - IF there is a bug and you fix it - please make sure, that it won't start any mining with negative profit

--user s3c70r , even if in the properties I have "Add to workername" checked, it doesn't pass the workername to command line.

We should read --user s3c70r.Rig02

Miningpoolhub doesnt allow connections without a login followed by a workername. ( login.Workername )

I have a s3c70r.Rig01 defined globally in the profit switching section of options to work around the bug.

Please fix ASAP.

I would like to be able to switch between profit mining and specified pool mining easier. Currently I have to go to each miner and enable and disable the profit mining.

Can you make it a right click option?

You have the same issue as I was having. View my work around in my previous post.

With AM 4.3.3:

It seems like XMRig Nvidia has some bad defaults in it. On two separate systems now with a different mix of GPUs it keeps throwing a GPU out of memory error. This happens with 1080ti, 1070ti and 1050ti based systems.

https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-nvidia/issues/47

Seems related, but not sure if the default config.json in AppData/Local/AwesomeMiner/<xmrig folder> is ok to edit or even the config that's passed to xmrig.

I also had an issue with DSTM (and sometimes ccminer) mixing up GPU ordering in a system with a few 1050ti's and 1 1060. It makes benchmarking tricky since when I'm trying to bench the 1050ti's it will sometimes bench the 1060 instead for certain algorithms.

Portable (usb) edition possible? I see only install versions.

That's currently not supported.

The profit switcher should look at the profit, not revenue. Can you verify that if you right click on the miner and select View Details?

I actually implemented something similar in the latest development version (4.3.3), but in the Options dialog only. Until it's supported via the right-click menu, please go to Options dialog, External Miners and use the bulk-edit feature.

Two identical machines
Even hash rates are within a few MH/s

And yet AMiner, decides to put one on Lara2 for days while the other switches to most profitable as intended

https://i.imgur.com/t8gF99T.jpg

The updated online services show lara as most profitable - but how can it be when the identical set up on the right shows it further down.

The whole software is one big mess as far as I can make out.
How can two identical machines, cards, hashrates, miners, pools everything be showing different profits and mining different alogs.
I'd expect some shenanigans but it's more likely to be incompetence.

Not sure if it's even worth my time trouble shooting going on the past 20 pages of this thread.
But I did reinstall latest miner on both - delete and redo the miners. rerun the benchmarks and yet this still occurs.

So just a heads up - you could very likely be chucking money away, unless you have two machines to check what this software is doing.

Later, and mine safley.
