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

[patrike]

Bug - the gpu oc profiles by name , do not differentiate between say a 1660 and a 1660 Ti

Even throug the names are slightly different only the 1660 profile is applied

The name matching is based on partial matching right now. If you define to apply a profile to "1660" it will apply this to a GPU with the name "Geforce GTX 1660" although you didn't have to type the exact name.

The drawback is that it would also match "1660 Ti" as you point out, because of the partial matching. There will have to be a new matching rule like "GPU Name (exact)" for this scenario. I will look into that.

I've heard about the forecasts of the warm weather in south Europe.

I do know that you have lowered your OC already because of the warm weather - can you please see if the people in your Telegram group consider that as well? It's quite often users start to experience GPU mining stability issues more frequently in May-June - I get those reports every year.

Two things you could try in Options dialog, Mining Settings:
1) Enable "Use Ctrl+C" as some mining software behave better with the enabled.
2) Consider increasing "Pause when profit switcher starts mining" and "Wait for process stop before terminating" a bit.

Point one that uses CTROL + C, where I activate that in AM, because I do not understand it in any other way. DOndende have to put it?

Please go to the Options dialog, Mining Settings section, where you will find this setting.

Have you been able to narrow down the issue with some troubleshooting - for example if you take one of your systems and only run it with one specific mining software and a single algorithm with no customization at all. Do you still get the same stability problems in that case?

[patrike]

like they said, deactivate the windows update and configure for mining.
you can't blame AM because of that, they are not windows developer and they are not going to create something to do "auto configure" just with 1 click.

Thanks for your comments. You are correct that Awesome Miner cannot do everything to secure that the mining environment is in good shape - but I'm actually open to suggestions about what Awesome Miner could do better in the future. It may not be a one-click that solves everything, but there might still be something to improve.

A feature to deploy some good configuration baseline for Windows could be a good feature to add in the future, where Awesome Miner can help you to disable Windows update, increase virtual memory if too low and so on.

I've noticed an issue with User-Defined Managed Software for CPU/GPU as it relates to the algorithm/-a parameter.  See below for a log from a Linux agent that shows the command line is missing the "-a m7m" parameter, and therefore fails.  Has anyone else seen this and have an idea how to address it?

Code:

Thanks for the details. I was able to reproduce and correct the issue. It was an issue introduced in the latest development release. There will be a new release available soon.

Unfortunately this still seems to be an issue in 6.5.7.

For this user defined Managed Software you added for CpuMiner - have you configured it to have the compatibility mode "Full" with CpuMinerOpt?

I might have identified one more issue specific to the Remote Agent on Linux here, but only related to custom algorithm parameters.

Yes, it is configured as Full (Command line and API).  Sorry, I probably should have mentioned in my original post, but I saw some similar behavior with the Windows agent in 6.5.6 where it would not use the algorithm argument from the "Default command line argument" column, but would use an argument from the "User defined command line algorithm" column even if it was the same value.  I worked around this by simply replicating all the default args as user defined args.  But this workaround did not seem to work for the Linux agent.  So this may be a combination of multiple issues.

I'm happy to provide any additional info you might need to track this down.

What I still could reproduce on Linux for 6.5.7 was that the "User defined command line" not being used correctly and I will of course correct that. It should however fallback to use the "Default command line argument" in 6.5.7 (didn't work in 6.5.6). Is it not even doing this fallback when you test it?

I'm away from my rigs for a day or so, but I will run through some more tests as soon as I can and post the results.

pls add option to send keystrokes on console view and option to save OC profiles for the entire rig in 6.6 version

great work

Hi, How can I update the miners to the latest version in Awesome miner. Usually Awesome miner alarms me that there is an available update, but I can see no update at this moment. Some miners have released updates such as Gminer 1.47, but latest version of Gminer in Awesome miner is 1.45. Please help me

Thanks for the feature suggestions - they are noted. It will unfortunately not be possible to include these in version 6.6 already as this release is planned for tomorrow and there are other feature to finalize first.

Saving the existing overclocking for a rig to a Clocking Group is likely to be implemented before the send key feature.

It's correct that you need to go for the development version in order to get to Gminer 1.47 at the moment.

This will however improve now when the feature 'Update mining software definitions' has been made available. This makes it possible to get mining software updates more frequently to all users, no matter if you run the public version or the development version.

Hello, I am presenting problems with my Awesome Miner since the last update. In the mining of NBMiner - Miniz to the minutes that is working I get that it is offline. Restarts by rule. But at the time it is lost time between reboots and offline. I already test with other miners and this error does not occur I have 1080ti.

Hi Patrik,

another Problem with the new Version 6.5.8
i have to restart AM every morning because AM allocates all available RAM (over 13 GB - i have it running on a very fast PC with 16 GB Ram) after about 20 hours running. AM is not responding correct - i have to wait about 10 seconds for every click ...
after restart everything works fine again (AM needs 2.6 GB RAM) for about a day... then same procedure again...

Then your AM installation is defect or with your windows is something wrong. I use AM on a windows pc with 4GB Ram and mining with CPU and GPU in backround, no impacts and it runs over month.

no - it's not defect... but maybe i have a few more miners than you? in the moment 733?! in former versions of AM i had no problems...

[sxemini]

And how you checked that your AM Installation is not defect? I think it is a problem with your PC, my Awesomeminer version use only 260mb RAM with 40 Miner and many rules.
A other Instance with 20 miner uses only 175mb Ram. So i can´t believe that 700 uses so much.
Maybe Patrike can say how much ram AM use per miner.

But at the time it is lost time between reboots and offline. I already test with other miners and this error does not occur I have 1080ti.

Is the case that the mining software (NBMiner, Miniz) is crashing? No matter which algorithm is being used? Can you capture that with the Diagnostics button? Please note that the first time you run the Diagnostics it will only run the mining software for 30 seconds. You can then click the Advanced button to change it to 2 minutes and run again.

Hi Ralf,
I've sent you a message about this with some requests for more details. 2.6 GB for 733 miners sounds fine, but 13 GB does not. Let's investigate and resolve this.

And how you checked that your AM Installation is not defect? I think it is a problem with your PC, my Awesomeminer version use only 260mb RAM with 40 Miner and many rules.

In general Awesome Miner doesn't consume that much more memory when adding a larger number of miners. Managed Miners will however consume more than External Miners and using features like mining history will increase the memory usage.

With 16 GB memory you should be able to run 20,000 ASIC miners.

[sxemini]

Ok thank you. So i believe he has some wrong settings in AM or he has another problem.

this is crazy. Now the remote fails me the installation in some machines, the other day in one, today in two. And the only way to fix it is to erase everything from awesome miner of REGEDIT, restart and install, otherwise, it will not let me.

Intelibreeze is accumulating errors, the program is becoming increasingly unstable and the proof is that I have never had problems with the updates but if lately.

When you want to realize, there will be many problems to solve.

Much development for Asic but you are leaving aside the windows and the errors that many people are reporting. I am dissatisfied lately of the resolution of failures in Windows and it is affecting me. Even if you lower the OC, or even if you leave it neutral 100 0 0 or 90 0 0, some rigs still remain in offline service or similar problems that did not happen 2 months ago.

Windows advances with its updates and the remote is giving problems, I mean intelinreeze.

Hi Patrik & Fellow Awesome Miners,

A few ideas (some might not necessarily be practical / useful)

• Ability to Bulk Edit Pool Properties - Especially Worker name, Worker password, Wallet Address, Profit Factor field
• Ability to clone Pool Groups
• In conjuction to above, ability to have the Pool Groups the ability to override the fields in point #1 (which can make the first 1 points obsolete and completelly replaced by this one IMHO), This is particularly useful for pools like Zergpool where one want's to switch between coin addresses/payout coin type/coin targeting/solo or shared mode switching
• Ability to fetch Auto-Exchange Status via pool API and consequently include/exclude from a Pool Group (mining a coin when AE is disabled generally means no reward when payout coin needed to be exchanged)
• Ability to parse Online Services' Actual payout % to individual pools according to their algorithm (Yiimp pools somehow seems to have poor luck, or at least I find mining on Zergpool generally have efforts way > 100% across all algos, shared or solo mining
• Ability to detect and compare coin price delta (daily, 7day, 30day ... etc) and set it as a rule trigger, basically interested in the pairs (BTC/USD, XXX/BTC where XXX is an Alt pair of choice) due to the delaying nature of auto-exchange and correlation between major coins espeically BTC leading entire crypto up and down, sometimes this can automate a more optimal exchange option rather than manual (i.e, sometime it's better to mine and AE to BTC, other times it is better perhaps to be paid in say, LTC for example)

Best Regards,
