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

[Nexillus]

Recently, I have had two rigs where the ZEC process just freezes and crashes. Awesome miner does not kill the process or restart it. I have to manually close it and then Awesome Miner restarts the process.

If it crashes and AM Remote doesn't see it, maybe it's because your miner is started using a start /B command for example?
Or maybe there is a windows message like "This program doesn't run anymore" (don't know the message in english) and this window doesn't allow AMR to kill it.
This window can be set up not to appear in Group Strategy.

Otherwise I've kind the same problem - I use Generic Miner, no API, sometimes it doesn't crash but produces 0 solution :-(

Which is why (for you and for me) this solution I proposed would help:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.msg32059884#msg32059884

Didn't even think of the little pop up box! I will look into disabling it in the group strategy. That is what is likely causing it not to be able to be closed from AM.

The rules/trigger is quite comprehensive, especially when combined with custom scripts in batch or C# but didn't think of the window. Thank you so much!

I need to add the dev=0,1,2 option to the DSTM miner in AM but I have tried with no success to get AM to pass this option forward.  I've even tried going into the actual miner folder (C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\AwesomeMiner\zm_0.6_win_2\zm_0.6_win)and edit the zm.cfg file but it is ignored when AM starts up the DSTM miner.  Any help appreciated!

I believe you can pass custom command arguments to the miner via the options within each miner on AM. I can verify the exact location once I am home.

Please confirm how to do this, I look forward to it.  I've tried in all places I could think of:

I've tried Options > Pools > Equihash MPH pool (port 17023) > Advanced and added pool specific command line parameters
I've tried Options > Profit Profiels > Custom Profile > DSTM Zcash Cuda Miner > Configure and added command line parameters to mining software
I've tried right-click on miner > Properties > Command Line and added parameters to mining software
I've tried going to C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\AwesomeMiner\zm_0.6_win_2\zm_0.6_win and editing the zm.cfg file

Nothing works and it looks like the .cfg file is ignored when AM starts up the miner or AM injects it's own commands and thus ignores the .cfg file.

(I don't have the exact translation, it's not in english here)

It's in group strategy: administration models, windows error reports, do not display the user interface for critical errors... set it to ENABLED

For Win7 I think it's all. For Win10 there is another one at the same place. If you can't find it I'll do.

I have found where to do it, once I get home I will apply this. Thank you!

Are you only looking to pass the dev=0,1,2  command through AM to DSTM miner? (I will be home in about an hour and will get back with you)
Also AM can individually enable/disable GPU's as well if that is the objective you are trying to do.

Yes, just that.  I just want to enable/disable GPUs as I'm planning to do some testing and want to run AM and NH at the same time.

I don't know for DSTM but in general with miners, either you use the config file (the simply run the exe with ZERO parameter), OR you pass parameters, in a batch or cmd file.
In general, you CANNOT do both.

If you've some specific parameters, then you may try to rename the config file as *.old for example, and pass ALL the parameters with AM.

Well, I was trying with both the dev command through AM and in the .cfg file with no luck.  At this moment, I've taken out all instructions from AM but the dev command is still in the .cfg file, still does not work.

Go to Options->Profit Profiles. In the Profit switching profiles select the profile that applies to you, in my case "nVidia GPU". Then select "Edit" Click on the miner you want to use. Click on it, click Configure. Then Select "new" in which at this point you can specify the number of GPU's you want to use or detect from host per device.

how can i change the server urls from zerg pool to EU?
EU server
-o stratum+tcp://europe.mine.zergpool.com:<PORT> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> [-p <OPTIONS>]

Tried to change under online service. All changes on predefined coins are lost after restart and doesnt work.
Tried to to add the coin unter custom doesnt work.
Theres btw no template for zergpool like for zpool.

[MinLum]

Did you (manually) try --list-devices to see which devices it sees? Did you try manually, locally, from the miner, NOT through AM, and does this work?

Not sure what you are asking specifically, but yes, if i go through the miner directly, I can make it run only 3 GPUs.

Ahh I see - next time read the readme ;-)

    --dev            Space separated list of cuda devices

In short, not --dev=0,1,2 but --dev 0 1 2
(no "=", no comma)

No, the readme says space separated but the config shows comma separated.
dev=0,1,2 is what I'm using successfully
dev=0 1 2 and the miner will only run GPU0

I have read the readme   And that's why I can get the miner to work..... but no luck when going through Awesome Miner

Go to Options->Profit Profiles. In the Profit switching profiles select the profile that applies to you, in my case "nVidia GPU". Then select "Edit" Click on the miner you want to use. Click on it, click Configure. Then Select "new" in which at this point you can specify the number of GPU's you want to use or detect from host per device.

Following your instructions but I can't click on "new" afte Configure, the button is greyed out and unclickable.  This is on DSTM Zcash Cuda Miner.

    --dev            Space separated list of cuda devices

Found it!
--dev 0 1 2 works in AM, but not in the cfg file
dev=0,1,2 works in the cfg file, but not in AM

Thanks for the help guys!!

[MinLum]

Oh God, that wasn't easy! Great you tried and found out!

Glad to see I wasn't the only one that found this confusing  Thanks for making me look there again though!  I kept trying dev=0,1,2 because I proved it was working direct in the miner cfg file, who would've thought the AM parameter needed to be a different syntax?

I kept trying different variations in AM but they all had "=" so even just trying dev=0 would not work.

Hi folks,

I hope this is the right place to ask this question, so if not, I would appreciate any direction.

I bought a Premium license for AwesomeMiner yesterday.  I used Options | Registration to enter my email and the key I received via email.  I clicked the Verify button, and all looked fine.

But when I go to Options | Web, I CANNOT enable the API  - it's greyed out and inactive.  I've restarted AM, rebooted, no luck.

I bought the premium licenses specifically for API access, so this is a major issue for me.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

ws

Anyone?  Help please?

Confirming your edition is premium on lower left corner of AM window.

Also, did you enable the Local Web Server? it is required before you can enable the API.

Yes, lower left corner says "v4.5 Premium Edition".

BINGO!  Enabling the local web server fixed it.  THANK YOU!

Hi, Awesome Miner is better and better, thank you for your nice work, Patrike and team.

I have a question: Why is algo PHI never work on Zergpool? It is not showing in Online services, but Ahashpool is there and its mining normally. When I use another SW for mining, PHI on Zergpool is mining fine. Can you check, please?

go to the options and under online services add it as a user defined, it's not in the pre-defined for zergpool

when you make a pool you can set it to any URL/pool you want.and when you make that pool there is links on the left side the last one down lets you add that kind stuff per pool setting .  or you can right click the miner in the main ui for AM on the left is more links the third one down lets u add custom commands or bat file commands. but those setting are global unlike the per pool setting when you make the pool . if your asking that .....

an you can make your own templates with templates.

Hi
version 4.5, standard edition. In the rig there are 10 cards, 7*1080ti, 3*1070. The program does not see one 1080ti card, although in the system it is determined and NicehashMinerLegacy sees all 10 cards. Tell me how to solve the problem.

Is the mining software like Claymore Ethereum miner reporting 10 GPU's, and those 10 show up on the GPU tab in the lower part of the screen in Awesome Miner? But the GPU mapping feature only lists 9 cards?

I use only ccminer (Zergpool,Lyra2z). Sometimes its start with 10, sometimes with 9 GPU's. GPU mapping feature list cards shows as much as it works in ccminer.

Would love to see feature to quickly (across multiple miners) turn on and off Autostart.   

Details:  I have 5 miners configured both as Managed Profit Miners and as "regular" miners (non profit).   When I want to turn off my managed profit miners to mine a specific coin, changing properties of every managed miner to turn off autorestart is a bit annoying/time consuming.   Since any miner (managed profit or regular) sometimes restart or reboot due to mining errors/stuck processing, this causes both the regular miner and the now-unwanted profit miner to automatically start at same time whenever a reboot of miner occurs.    So I would love some better method of "one button" turning automatic start on or off for a group of miners rather than changing properties of each individual miner.   Finally I understand managed templates can be applied but not to profit miners where I just want to turn on/off the autostart property.

A question Patrike,

I noticed the new version from yesterday of NemosMiner has a lot more miners for various algos (ccminerpolytimos, RavenMiner225RVN, ccminerskunk, and many more ) than you have by default in AM.

Can you improve benchmarking as I suggested in the past, to have an in depth mining that will also select the most profitable miner for each algo ?

Also NemosMiner implemented a better profit switching algorithm and many users will switch from AwesomeMiner to Nemos soon because it offers better daily income than AwesomeMiner just because it picks miners and algos are switching in a smarter way. NemosMiner is computing and using a parameter called TrustLevel, that is a difference between estimated and actual 24h profitability for each algo from each pool.

What do you think ?
