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

[xChackOx]

Which version of Awesome Miner are you running. The latest public release (v3.2) or the latest development release? In the development release you can configure MiningPoolHub in the Options dialog, Online services, and select which algorithms to enable for the profit switcher. The latest version will also support custom mining software to be used together with the profit switcher (add a user defined Managed Software, and enable in in the Profit profile you use).

I'm using latest public release, v3.2. I'll have to check out the development version then.

If you use the feature "Add to worker name" for a Managed Miner (or Managed Profit Miner), it will append this to the worker name defined for the pool or profit switcher. In the Profit switching section of the Options dialog, how did you enter the worker name for Mining Pool Hub? And how is the "Add to worker name" configured for your Managed Profit Miner?
More about worker names:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/workername.aspx

That was it, I had a worker name in the Profit Miner properties and in the Profit Switching properties. Suggestion: for MiningPoolHub the Profit Switching properties should say username instead of worker name, as per MiningPoolHub instructions. That's why I got confused and put username.worker in there.

Version 3.2.2:

I cannot find any OnlineServices from MiningRigRentals. Is this a bug or a feature?  

[mchrisb03]

Currently when I want my Managed Miner to switch to a different coin or use a different mining program, I right-click the miner, select Apply Template and then select a new Managed Template to use.

Can this type of operation be performed programmatically either via a C# script or HTTP call?

I looked at the documentation but did not see any reference to this.

I would likely upgrade from Professional to Premium if this is  available (especially via an HTTP call).

This would allow users to write their own profit solutions external from AM and in whatever language they like.

Their solution could then simply instruct AM to switch to a specified template on a specified miner.

Thanks!

Is it possible to add skunk algo in the software to support SIGT coin?

[Dumpfdoesel]

Is it possible to add skunk algo in the software to support SIGT coin?

The latest dev version 3.2.2 supports skunkhash/SIGT out of the box.
The miner sw can be found here:
https://github.com/nemosminer/ccminer-skunk-jha/releases/tag/ccminerskunk3

In 'Mining software configuration' -> 'Command line parameters to mining software' you will need to add '-a skunk --intensity=[n]' (n being a number from 1-31)

CPU mining with profit switching in AM dev 3.2.2)

Q: How do I set up CPU mining with profit switching in AM?

Problem 1:
I can see 'CpuMiner-Opt 3.4.6 (CPU)' under 'managed software'.
But it is NOT available/selectable in the profit profiles -> no CPU mining!
Does any else notice the same?

Because of this I created a 'user defined mining software' entry for a CPU miner (Configured as [full compatibility with 'CpuMiner-Opt 3.4.6 (CPU)]).
I also selected all supported algos as for 'CpuMiner-Opt 3.4.6 (CPU)'
So far so good. BUT:

Problem 2:
The custom miner config is missing the same functionality (Default command line argument, User defined command line argument) as for built-in miners. This will lead to P3 further down 

Problem 3:
The custom miner does not get any parameters passed to it. Result:

Here, installed again 3.2.1 and same issue, would not load, uninstalled and reinstalled 3.2, works great.

Many thanks for that information, I managed to find the issue. It's when you have a user defined algorithm with the same name as a predefined algorithm (for example you added Skein, but that one is already included).

A correction will be available in version 3.2.2 that is planned to be available within the next 12h.

That fixed it, 3.2.2 is working now. Thanks.

Hello,

It's possible to create a rule wich change frenquency on ASIC in relation to profit ?

For example, if nicehash or coin report:

• 0 to 20$/day --> 384MHz
• 20.01 to 30$/day -> 400MHz
• 30.01 to 35$/day -> 412MHz
• ...

Thanks

Well, I tried the current developer build (3.2.2) with a managed profit miner. Did my profiles with benchmarks, configured claymore dual -dcri values and made sure that every online service was correctly configured. AM started mining successfully but to the wrong address. Immediately stopped the miner and checked the logs. It seems that AM isn't configuring launch parameters automatically. Went to confirm this by deleting the default configs of all miner software (ccminer, etc) and tried to mine again. This time AM failed to launch the mining software. Logs confirms this and also the profit switching screen doesn't show any launch parameters.

Don't know how everyone is doing but managed profit mining isn't working for me.

Just a thought, but I installed AM in C:\AwesomeMiner\ instead of the default location. I'm using Windows 10 Pro with admin rights.

Request: it would be really useful if we could clone/export profit switching configs. It's a PIA to have to manually input benchmarks again when all I want to do is an exact copy of a profile with a different command line for 1 program (like a profile to mining only in GPU 1 in my PC while I'm gaming with GPU 0)

Hi Patrike and thanks a lot for your work and the new versions

I have a little problem with miningrigrentals.com

I don't understand why, in Online Services, the profit is so high.

When I connect my miner on miningrigrentals.com, I have this:

It was about 38CHF and not 81CHF with stratum+tcp://mrr-pool:3333


In second, thanks to change the coins listed with exchange rate in the statusbar.
It would be perfect if we could add more.

Have a good day.
Jack

Thanks for the feedback. I know that MRR support isn't as up-to-date as it should because of API changes over the years since it originally was implemented. It had a little lower priority from my side as the feature not been one of the most widely used.

For the coins in the status bar, is it that you want more than 5 of them to be displayed at the same time?

[patrike]

Prompt me please. After numerous updates, I have lost graph of the temperature. Is it just me such a situation or have all users on the free version?

This is not related to which version you are using. Temperatures should be displayed so this is probably a bug I need to look into.

Please tell us when will fix the bug, or will it be in the next update?

The current plan is to correct it in the next release.

Version 3.2.2:

I cannot find any OnlineServices from MiningRigRentals. Is this a bug or a feature?  

It's not listed as one of the customizable services in the Options dialog, Online Services section. You can still see the static profits in the Online services tab, if you at the bottom of the window make sure the checkbox (inside the drop down) is checked. In general, MRR has not had as much priority in Awesome Miner as the other services.

Currently no, but I've already made some preparations for this because of similar requests recently. What I can do is to add two new HTTP API methods in the next version. One to get the list of all Managed Templates (with Id and Name), and then an API operation to apply a specific template to a miner.

1) The CPU miner is currently not included in the profit switcher. Most people run the profit switcher with GPU mining software, so adding and testing for CPU mining wasn't a priority. I can add it to the list for the next version.

2+3) I found a problem related to the profit switcher here, so I will correct that and hopefully it was for the scenario you described here.

A feature similar to this was possible with the older batches of Antminer S9, as they could be configured with custom frequency over SSH. Newer batches of S9 doesn't support that configuration.

From an Awesome Miner point of view, SSH commands can be sent to any ASIC/computer, so this is more about what the ASIC can support and figuring out exactly how it can be set over SSH (or any API).

There are no predefined triggers for defining profit rules like that right now. It should be possible with a C# script based trigger that requests pool revenue per day.

Profile switching display switching back to 'default' (AM version 3.2.2)

The 'Profile switching display' ('Main' -> 'Online Services') reverts back to 'default' after a few minutes. How can I make it stick to my preferred list?

I just noticed that the MRR API has changed to require API key+secret, even for the basic operation to get general profit information. Strange move.

I think this is similar to what another user just reported. I will provide a correction for this scenario for the profit switcher, but please verify in next release.

I can also add a Clone button for you in the Profit Profile section of the Options dialog. The idea is that you should be able to select for example the AMD profile, make a clone, and then make a few adjustments. Is that what you are looking for?

That would be fantastic. Thank you for this extremely useful program and your outstanding support!
