Hello @puwaha, does your program support the L3+? Especially the Changing Frequency function, I see on your website it only support S7 and S9.
I also would like to pay via Bitcoin if it is possible.

Hello @puwaha, does your program support the L3+? Especially the Changing Frequency function, I see on your website it only support S7 and S9.

I didn't make Awesome Miner, Patrike did... I just like to help out with this "awesome" tool. 

You should be able to add an L3+ or many other external ASICs as an "external miner".  See here:

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/externalwizard.aspx

And the steps you take for Antminers in particular:

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/antminerapi.aspx

As puwaha already pointed out, all Antminers, including L3+, is supported by Awesome Miner.

The frequency feature is a bit special as it was originally developed for Antminer S9. Then later batches of Antminer S9 removed the support for defining this over SSH, making it impossible to support the feature from Awesome Miner.

I don't know exactly how the frequency settings works on L3+, if they can be modified from the configuration file on the miner (/config/cgminer.conf). I would be very happy if someone with a L3/L3+ miner could try to use SSH to modify the frequency in this file, then restart the mining process (/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart), and see if the changes works. If that procedure works, it will also be possible to do this from Awesome Miner.

Hi Patrike, will be the Antminer D3 supported by Awesome Miner? or is allready supported?

I've not heard anything about it yet, but most likely it will work out of the box. If some statistics are missing, I will correct that as soon as possible. The D3 should of course be fully supported.

BTC / GH / day and BTC / TH / day problem with NiceHash?

They probably changed their way of reporting again - it happens once or twice per year. I will correct that in the next development release that will be made available this week.

Having an install issue for managed miner....I even turned off UAC.. anyone know why this might be happening, I have install the agent on other computers and this is the first problem I have had.

Hello, tell me, I'm trying to add a new algorithm in AM, online statistics are loaded for a new algorithm, but how to specify what to dig it with?

Tell us what algo your trying to mine, so we can kinda be more specific and if its a profit miner or managed miner your attempting to use

tribus, jha, timetravel on zpool.ca - They sometimes jump very high in the price

The development (beta) versions of AM have newer versions of ccminer, but I don't know if they have the tribus algorithm specifically.  So, it's probably easier to download the version of ccminer that has tribus (look on the Denarius ANN thread first posting) and have AM upload it to the miner.  Then, from there, it's a matter of setting up your pool as normal, and when you setup the managed miner make sure you are using your custom software.

I tend to manually upload new mining software to my miners (put it somewhere easy to find like c:\miners) and then just tell the managed miner in AM to use a specific path or use the browse button to the exact path on the hard drive where I uploaded the new software.  It's super easy to open up an explorer window and get access to the remote computer's hard drive via the \\computername\c$ shares to upload new "experimental" versions of mining software.

I also load the miners myself, but here's how to get the AM to dig the chosen algorithm on a certain miner I can not figure out. I tried to indicate the trip to the mine on such a minor, so all the algorithms switched to this miner. Removal of the added miner and algorithm lines did not help, I had to reinstall AM
P.S. Forgive me for my bad English, I'm from Russia and use an interpreter

Here you go, i created a guide for ya...
Cheers

If Patrike or someone sees something wrong i mistakenly did in the guide, please add info so i can make any corrections to the guide or add new info, this is how i currently go about this situation. If you cant see the pictures, just right click them and open in new tab so you can see full view image.

Thanks for the article. Looks really good!

I only have one small comment on the configuration. You specify "-a tribus" in the profit switching profile. It should also be possible to do this directly in the Managed Software properties for "Tribus CCminer", where you set it to Enabed. In the last column "User defined command line argument" you should be able to specify just "tribus".

What Awesome Miner is doing is to figure out that "-a" should be added for Ccminer to specify algorithm, and then it will simply append what you enter in this last column. So you can enter "tribus" and it becomes "-a tribus", or you can add "tribus --pimit=90W" or something else that is specific to this algorithm. This makes it possible to tweek the command line per algorithm.

Again, many thanks for the great guide and all help in this thread.

I added that as an optional step because when i was setting up skunkhash through your managed software properties, i enabled it there, but when i started the miner it still defaulted to auto mode, i had to manually add the -a code to get it to work for me.

Has anyone gotten the new add-in json lines to work?
I added in the line in AM, but the coin is not showing up under coin stats... I see it visible on the list, im curious if im overlooking something.

Hi. Which coin did you try to add? The algorithm of the coin must be defined in Awesome Miner - either predefined or added by you. Can you let me know the json-url of the coin and I will give it a try.

Also i think Nicehash has changed something on you.. getting odd price

[Storx]

Patrike,

Can you take a look at the Profit Switching interval, i have been mining directly for a few weeks due to SIGT hotness, but wanted to go back to profit switching and set it up lastnight on a few coins, it seemed to always switch every 30 minutes no matter if i had it set to 5 minutes or 30 minutes...

Also can you adjust this to allow switching down to 1 minute intervals please.

PROBLEM SOLVED BY INSTALLING .NET FRAMEWORK 4.5.2 IN CASE ANYONE ELSE HAS/HAD THIS

[patrike]

Nicehash changed their reporting from GH/s to TH/s on a few algorithms, and zpool just did the same for some of them as well.
There will be a new development release within a day to adjust according to these changes.

Ah, ok... just wish they would stick to a standard.. really annoying.. Noticed Whattomine added skunkhash to the main page now

@patrike is there a way to add another pool to profit switch list?

I wanted to add prohashing.com to managed profit switching list but unable to do so... only zpool and nicehash is there

New premium user (using 3.2.5, but same issues with 3.2) and I have a couple problems I'd appreciate any insight on:

1)  Coin balances don't appear to be working.  Have added LTC, and BTC and both are showing 0 balances with appropriate wallet addresses (just my bittrex addresses) in address field.

2)  SgMiner-5.6.1 auto downloaded and installed as managed profit miner seems to start the API interface but AM is not seeing it.  This is with MPH (trying to mine Groestl) only enabled as ZP and NH are disabled pending the pricing (hashrate) fix for those two.

Thanks for any help!

It should be possible to set it to 1 minute. Can you please send me the log file and indicate at what time you expected another behavior than what Awesome Miner did?

Yes. In Options dialog, Profit switching section, you can add a custom pool. This can either be a single pool you have defined, or a pool group if you want to add many. You need to define this pool yourself first (Options dialog, Pools section).

1) Many exchanges actually move away your coins from the wallet address to some secure place. So from a blockchain point of view, many exchanges stores 0 BTC on your wallet address. This is why Awesome Miner (and any blockchain explorer) see 0.

2) I wasn't able to reproduce this. When starting sgminer, don't you see something like "API running in IP access mode on port 4028"? The actual port number can be different. From what I can see that works with MPH Groestl. Can you try to click the Diagnostics button to see if what configuration and command line from Awesome Miner looks correct? You could also try to generate an API report to see if it contains any information from the mining software (toolbar: Tools -> API report)

I have done that, but where to add API for that pool to ensure it utilizes profitability just like zpool and nicehash does.

Patrike may be able to correct me if im wrong, but from my understanding and experience it seems that profit switching is not based on the api settings under online services list, it seems to profit switch based on the "coin" tab list... which is not dependent on any specific pool, it uses a calculation between your hashrate and the exchange rate price and difficulty to determine the profitability list. So having multiples of the same coin on different pools may be pointless...

I have used the profit switching part of the AM very little and when i did it seemed to switch based on which is list # 1 coin under coin tab regardless whats listed on online services....

Like, do you want me to start profit switching and then note a period it should have switched, but didnt and state which algo?

Also im not sure if this is a graphical glitch, i noticed when i clicked the down arrows it stopped at 5 minutes, but i just tried manually entering 1 minute and it seems to have accepted it... If i move back over 5 minutes and click the arrows down, it goes down as far as 5 minutes, then stops at 5...
