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

[yhbae]

I have been using AwesomeMiner free edition for awhile, but today I decided to go to the premium version, since now I have more rigs and I would like to check its overclocking functions.  Some issues I have found:
- "GPU Settings" dialog only shows GPU0, GPU1 and so on.  No model information.  I have tried to use the "map to system monitoring" and it didnt help (only the list on the bottom is updated, but not the one on GPU Settings;
- It doesnt keep the overclocking settings after reboot.  Actually, only the Power Limit is kept, while core/mem clock go back to zero;
- It takes 2 or more tries, clicking on "GPU Settings" to make it load the list of gpus, after reboot.
- In one of my rigs, GPU10 isnt affected by the GPU settings.
- I have tried to use the auto loading of GPU profiles at the miner, but it just allowed me to load one profile (I supposed it will be applied to all gpus).  In rigs with more than on gpu model, this wont help;

Is there any solution for these issues?

Thank you

I have raised some of the points you are making and Patrike says improvements are coming...

Where can we download and add to AM high performance miners like ccminer X17SPmod ?

if you go to http://www.zpool.ca/site/miners  on most popular algos, like X17 and order by percent of used mining software, you will see that X17SPmod has the best HashRate and is used by 65% of top miners. next one is alexis with just 15%.  

For NeoScrypt algo the best performance is from ccminer/8.18-KlausT  and we can easily find it and integrate. Any idea why it is not included in AM ? Or how can we find and download all the other SP-mod ones, for the highest profit ?

Any ideea ?

Sp_ sells his work, you need to write to him in the PM, pay 0.5 btc and you will receive updates on his mods

So you mean all 3000 x17 miners from zpool paid for X17SPmod   version ?  There is a different optimized x17 version somewhere, I think, because otherwise sp_ just got 18 million dollars from selling just x17SPmod version only on zpool , and it is insanely too much.

What do you think ?

it can be only one owner who bought this mod, but he has 3,000 vorkers, that's the answer for you. Buy yourself this c-mod and work on it, I'm not so rich to pay 0.5 btc. if I wanted it, it was my revenue for the year, provided that I would not withdraw money to my card

I'm a new user to Awesome Miner, so pardon the question that may have an easy answer.

I want Awesome Miner to purely monitor, and restart if it fails my current session of CCMiner.  I'm mining using the x17 algorithm against Yiimp.  

How do I configure Awesome Miner to monitor, and restart my own command in the case of failure.  I'm running NVidia 1060's 6G, 4 of them, with 2 more on the way.  

I really like the idea of the software, but can't get it to do what I thought it could do.

Thanks!

on this path, look and tune as you need, I have a reboot pc at the dump card

The past days came with a lot of errors when miner tries to connect to mining pools like zpool, hashrefinery and last 12 hours also ahashpool.
It seems all few pools that are preconfigured in AM are overloaded and refuse new connections.

Is it possible to add also some more pools in AM default installations to allow users to dissipate load, because too many miners on the same place is affecting all of us .

It is a problem because for pools it is like a ddos attack.

Can you add some more pools that have  statistics api for integration ? Or anyone has a list of reliable pools to use besides default ones that are promoted by AM default installation ?

Has anyone been able to mine LUX using AMD and sgMiner? I cannot get it working for the life of me. It just gpu not detected every single time.

Hi everyone can someone tell me which algos and miners work with profit swiching while mining with vega...

[puch0021]

I believe there is a bug with Claymore dual mining etherium and dcr/pasc possibly when using nicehash.

With nicehash configured for to check for current profitability, when the miner runs Eth + DCR despite under the miner view details that Eth + Pasc profitability ($2.71) > Eth ($2.65) > Eth + DCR ($2.46).

Under process information it shows AM will continue to load DCR by selecting -dcoin dcr instead of pasc.

Is there a setting that I am missing to set? It seems like AM keeps defaulting to DCR but I can't figure out what I need to change.

Hi everyone can someone tell me which algos and miners work with profit swiching while mining with vega...

Claymore's Cryptonight, Ethereum and ZCash miners all work, SGMiner works. Mostly it lives on Ethereum, sometimes I manually switch to Cast XMR when I notice the Cryptonight prices go up on my CPU miners since Cast is so much faster than Claymore.

In terms of Algos from my benchmark list:

Blake 2b
CryptoNight
Equihash
Ethereum
Groestl
Lyra2REv2
Myriad-Groestl
Qubit
Scrypt
SHA-3
Skein
X11

Suggestion:  I run AMD rigs and I run Nvidia rigs.  There are pools that I will never use with AMD and there are ones I will never use for Nvidia.  It would be nice if the pool list could filter out the pools I don't want so I don't even have to look at them (I have a LOT of pools defined).  I'm thinking you could add a selector on the miner setup where you select AMD or NVidia and also on the pool setup.  It's a minor thing but would be helpful.  I suppose you could even take this concept to ASICs as well.

I am really sorry if this is already reported.
In Options -> Managed software -> Algo, if I enter an "user defined command line argument" (for instance, "-i 25" for setting wanted intensity for that algo), miner startup fails.
Using "diagnostics", I can see it reads wrong command line parameter.
This is useful in profit switching, since each algo could perform better with a different intensity parameter.
Tested with ccminer 2.2.4, autodownload.

Fixed, if I enter "algo -i 15" it works correctly: this command line replaces the default one, I thought it was an additiona parameter.
Thank you.

Does this have any type of switching prevention or other formula like multipoolminer does to stop you from mining every single spike on a coin?   As it is now, my choice is current stats which means I'm typically mining a coin for one or two minutes that by the time it gets exchanged is nowhere near as profitable or I'm using 24hr stats which means I'm basically just mining bitcore.

Thank you,  I didn't know you could do this, I thought it was only specific to the miner itself.  I created another miner for the specific algo that I needed to lower the intensity.  This way would have been easier.

Yes, go to the Options, Profit switching tab... then enable the Profit switching threshold.  Set a percentage that you are comfortable with.  If you set it to 15% for example, then the spiking algo/coin has to be 15% more profitable than what you are mining now.

you can give a link where you can download X17SPmod?

Who mines the mode cerrent or 24 hours?
look at what a big difference in the readings of the profits

what are your settings?

Very interested in some information about this topic as well...  Also, single dedicated pools and managing them in AM vs multi-algo pools

There's no right or wrong answer here, only what your priorities are.  The Current setting will make AM check the current values at Whattomine, and the 24 hour setting will make AM check the 24 hour values at Whattomine.  AM is agnostic in this decision... it's yours to make.

Why would you choose one over the other?  Using the current values will attempt to keep you on the most profitable coin... at that point in time.  This can and will cause peaks and valleys in your overall profits because coins don't stay "most profitable" for very long.  The 24 hour values will help smooth out those peaks and valleys to keep you mining a "mostly" profitable coin longer.  I've written extensively about profit switching in this thread, I ask that you go back or search this thread for my musings and opinions on the matter.

Remember though, the Current and 24 hour setting would only apply to individual coins that you are mining, not to Online services like zpool, MPH, and the like.  If you setup a dozen of your favorite coins as individual pools and put them in a pool group then AM can profit switch on that pool group and will use the Whattomine statistics including your Current/24 setting to help AM decide when to switch.

why can't I use the zpool multialgorithmic, MPH for extraction in the present or 24 hours on these pools?

As puwaha told, in "profit switching" setup you can set the profit switch threshold and the switching interval in minutes.
You can also choose between "current" and "24 hour average" (Options -> Statistics -> Statistics settings).

[manvsrice]

Is there a way to set a threshold for profit mining? Lets say if there is no auto-switching-profit that gives me over 8 usd with my 1080ti cards per day, then I want them all to mine some specific coin/algo that I believe in?

I'll have to look at that a bit. I have my doubts that would do exactly what i'm talking about as most of the time, they are well above 15% more.  Even 50% I think you would still be grabbing the spikes.  Multipoolminer checks these and basically determines how likely they are to stay at the level they are at rather than having you mine something that supposedly is doing very high for a minute only to get exchanged for next to nothing.

This happens for all of us. After changing the algo, it stays a few minutes and after that goes to a small amount, less than 50% the amount you was doing previously, before changing the algo. Spikes are taken and also during that spike, the issue is that the amount that you are actually being paid by the pool is also much less, so AM just changes and shows you that is making an amount that is even 4 times more the amount that you are actually being paid, and this is misleading, showing the user a values that is a lie, something 4 times higher it is something that should be fixed and users should check for real pool paiments, instead of values totally wrong shown by AM.

It must be a solution for problems like this one. If you put a minimum amount, AM should automatically change to next best algo different than current one with the amount higher than the limit you specified.  With this solution, you won't have to wait minutes until next statistics pull from the server and see the profitability go from $90/day/rig to just $5/day/rig in just a few seconds, it is disastrous to see this difference.


Also another important thing is the frequency AM reloads pool statistics. Is it the same amount of minutes that is used to load statistics form whattomine, or is it more often ?  Where can we configure pools statistics reload frequency ?

What do you think ?

Trying to set up a new mining software as in the managed software section of the AW help website. I can make it work by specifying the path to the mining software on any particular rig but that means making a separate template for each rig. How can I set things so that one template will work for all rigs? I tried putting the miner software in the same folder as all of AW's miners but that doesn't seem to help.
