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

[Th0rest]

Somehow I don't know how to make Awesome Miner mine with my CPU. I managed to run a GPU miner and I assume that for CPU I should make new one. I am using Nicehash pool. Please advise how to add CPU mining. Either way Awesome miner seems to be perfect Win GUI.

Awesome Miner is really wonderful and best for profitability switching. Thanks Patrike for the wonderful and best miner management software...

[Iwtym]

This program needs to be streamline.

There's way too much going on. I need a button that benchmarks all allow with all programs and chooses the fastest for me.  Then I specify my pool addresses for the top.

Another little bug, AM doesn't show more than 8 gpu temperature in the status column even if I have 12 gpus in the summary and I can see all gpu temperature in there.

Yet another one, the miner view always goes back to Compact List after closing/reopening AM instead of staying to List as set, Very annoying.

1) This is a hard coded limit in Awesome Miner to only display the temperature first 8 devices. Some ASIC's can have a very large number of devices, and showing temperature for 20-40 devices  wouldn't look too nice.

I could bump it to 12 at least.

You can also configure Awesome Miner to display the highest temperature instead of all of them (in General section of Options dialog).

2) If you have Performance Mode enabled, Awesome Miner will force you to use Compact List for performance reasons. Do you have Performance Mode enabled, and if that case, how many miners do you have?

Yes I have performance mode enabled, not enough to keep it enabled. Thanks a lot, this makes my day you have no idea !

Is ethminer supported by AM ? There's a nvidia optimized version that I would like to use with AM.

Ethminer is not supported. You can still add as a Generic Miner to be able to launch it from Awesome Miner:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/genericminer.aspx

In the past this miner didn't have an API, so there was no way for Awesome Miner to get any mining information from it. Now I see that they very recently added and API, making it possible to support it in future versions of Awesome Miner.

They also state that the API is "Claymore Compatible". Could you try to use an External Miner, specifying software as Claymore, and see if you can get it running already today?

Second problem. The program stopped sending my GTX 980 to x15. But now it is sending it to SGMINER. In the profit profile, sgminer is not checked. Thank you.

Edit: I tried creating new profit profile for the GPU and I got it working by selecting only single program. I think your program would be awesome (lol) if, when benchmarking, it looked for the best hash rate of all programs. That way, you wouldn't even need to specify what program you want to use.

CPU mining with your parameters works great on my system. I simply copy-pasted the command line you had and successfully launched the Cpuminer. Could it be that your CPU doesn't support the instruction set by the default exe-file "cpuminer-core-avx2.exe". See this page for alternative exe-files for Cpuminer that may work on your system:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/cpumining.aspx

I have identified one issue in the profit switcher that could explain the issues you describe. I will work on a solution for that.

Is it just me or the Dashboard showing $0 Revenue for any other currency apart from USD or BTC.

If you change it to AUD, CAD etc its not working.

Hi,
Awesome Miner uses data from Yahoo for these local currencies. There is a known issue with the Yahoo Finance API where sometimes can fail processing the requests for a long period of time.

In most scenarios, this problem goes away after a while, once Yahoo Finance API gives a successful response. The instability of this API is widely known and not specific to Awesome Miner. However, what I'm planning to do is to provide these exchange rates via my own API to make it more stable.

Hi all,
is there some way to shutdown pc?
can i set some variable in option->pools->worker name? in a normal script i write %COMPUTERNAME% and my miner start with a computer name.
ty

1) Yes. I've added a new example for this on the web site "Example: Shutdown remote PC via a button click", where you can use the Rules in Awesome Miner for this:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/rules.aspx

2) Awesome Miner will simply pass this variable name to your mining software. So if the mining software supports it, it should work when launching it from Awesome Miner as well

Hi,
There is a small introduction to CPU mining on the web site:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/cpumining.aspx
You are correct that you add another Managed Miner for the CPU mining, similar to what you did for GPU mining. As mining software you select CpuMinerOpt.

Thank you for your fast response. Meanwhile I made another miner and selected only CPU algorithms for it. Mostlikely my mining parameters are not OK and Diagnostic test fails. I will post the result later since my test shows your app gives best hashrates.

Patrike,
Please add the same option "Notify once" as in notifications (circled in red) for other types of notifications such as "Send SMS" and "Send webhook", because at the moment they can not be used. I'm bombarded with a huge number of notifications )))



Here we need the same:

Since the parameter -wd is hardcoded upon start, ethminer fails to start as it doesn't recognize the -wd parameter.

External miner also doesn't work.

It works with claymore remote manager tool that is included with claymore 10 miner.

Here we need the same:

In most cases this is solved by instead of using the email/SMS action, using a Notification action, and configure the notifications to also send email/sms messages (in Options dialog, Notification section). This is also what the blue information boxes inform about.

Can you describe the scenario where that kind of setup isn't good enough? I'm sure there are some, but I need to understand the complete scenario.

It will be the same answer as I gave another user a few posts ago. CPU mining with your parameters works great on my system.

It might be that your CPU doesn't support the instruction set by the default exe-file "cpuminer-core-avx2.exe". See this page for alternative exe-files for Cpuminer that may work on your system:

Using a Notification action I can't use webhook.

Here is one example:


I use this for notification to Telegram for each RIG separately because only GET metod working now and it requires different address lines.

I am up to 5 instances locally now of XMRig running, any words on the XMRig API support? It'll force me to upgrade my version

Patrike,

Can you add this pool to the next update to Awesome Miner >> http://pool.hashrefinery.com/

It's the same layout as Zpool.

I have identified one issue in the profit switcher that could explain the issues you describe. I will work on a solution for that.

This worked. I correct what I said earlier - once you get the hang of this program it is easier.

I have some software suggestions that would push profitability to surpass NHML by far.

1. THE ABILITY TO CREATE A PROFILE WITH DIFFERENT SOFTWARES!!!! (ie. EWBF for equihash, excavator for x11, etc, etc) My initial suggestion of benchmarking all algos on all software would solve this. The AwesomeMiner Program would automatically keep the highest hashrate of all mining software for that algo.

Software suggestions
1. dstm miner for Equihash - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2021765.0
2. ccMiner 2.2.2 - https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases
3. ccMiner Nanashi fork for Lyra2REv2 - https://github.com/Nanashi-Meiyo-Meijin/ccminer
4. ccminer krnlx fork for SkunkHash (can also do xevan) - https://github.com/krnlx/ccminer-skunk-krnlx
5. excavator 1.3.3 - https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases

Thank you!

You might be able to do this already with Profit Profiles.  In there, you select the software you want to be active, which algos they do, etc.  You apply the Profit Profile to a Profit Miner.  You'd then create a pool group with all the pools/coins you want to mine against, and then set it all in motion on the Profit Miner.

I have tried this, I can not get it to work to mine Bitcore using the ccminer-sp-bitcore 2 miner.

Would be great if there was a way to modify the pre-build pools for Zpool and add new pre-defined pools somehow.
