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

[patrike]

Any ETA for supporting XMR-Stak's new unified version?  That's pretty much all I'm running these days.  I so desperately want to use Awesome Miner and XMR-Stak that I'm considering writing an adapter program to emulate Claymore so I can feed XMR-Stak's data back to Awesome Miner.  But I don't want to invest that time if support for XMR-Stak will be coming in the next month or two.

I have all implementation for connecting to it as an External Miner ready, but it's currently hidden.

For the moment I have given up on adding support for it as a Managed Miner because this mining software do so many strange things, for example:
- It requires running as Administrator, which creates all sorts of problems when you want to auto start it or launch it from another applications. It's probably the first mining software ever that has this behavior.
- It doesn't simply auto detect devices like other mining software. It looks like it tries to detect the first time and then update the configuration file, but it would be too complex for Awesome Miner to know if it will work or now. I can just imagine all the support question I will get around how this software handles its configuration file and prompting the user for input on the command line when something is missing.

Even if I only support it as an External Miner, you could still add your own Managed Software, point to the XMR-Stak for API compatibility and then create a Managed Miner for this where you point to your xmr-stak.exe file. As long as Awesome Miner is running as Administrator (or you have some configuration of Windows to bypass this), it will behave like any other Managed Miner - but you are in charge of all configuration yourself.

I don't mind managing the configuration myself, the main thing is I want to be able to start/stop the miner and get hash rate and coin profit.

Thanks for DSTM support ...and all my Nv cards ty ....

Question do you have a BTC address i can send a tip to ? .... ,like 10 bucks or so in BTC as a tip ? ..

Hashrefinery's Nist5 calculations have gone haywire.  AM claims I'm making $200 million a day.  Same for X11.

Hi Patrike can u please add an option to upgrade all remote services at once.

Thanks

I can make the feature available within the next 1 - 2 days.

Just keep supporting the software like you already do and I will be more than happy!

It's the same issue on their web site, so this cannot be resolved from an Awesome Miner point of view. In fact, zpool had similar problems recently and they stated it was due to some exchange reporting incorrect numbers to them.

Hi,

Isn't that working already? If you select more than one miner in the list of miners, the toolbar button "Upgrade Remote Agent" should allow you to do this. You can also right click and perform a "Select all" if needed.

How do i set up my ASICs to do external profit switching? I think ive got the program configured right, not sure if i need the remote program too though? Awesome miner is so confusing :/

Hi,
Please follow this guide that both describes how the concept works and how to configure. It's basically just a click in a checkbox to setup:

But how can it be just a click in a checkbox if it says in the documentation that it does not change the pools on the ASIC so you have to do this manually?  So what settings are needed on the ASICs? and why does it say in documentation "The setting for Nicehash, zpool and Mining Pool Hub in Options dialog, Profit switching section, should not be filled in for the External Profit Switcher"...

It underlines not to fill in some settings....so where do you fill in the information? what happens if you do fill in the info? will it not work lol, what information is it even talking about, this program and documentation is so confusing...

That would be amazing, thanks, I'll certainly keep an eye out for it and will check it out.

I do have XMR-Stak compiling so it should be a fairly simple matter of adding a compatible API to it.  I'm starting off simple for now though, I've mocked up a .NET app that listens on a TCP port and I'm getting the API request from Awesome Miner so this should be a relatively simple matter of making my app launch the miner and get data out of it and return it to Awesome Miner.

The main concept for the External Profit Switcher is actually very simple, and is described in in the very first point:
"For External Profit Switching, Awesome Miner will not add or change any pools on the miner. The profit switcher will only look at the pools already defined on the miner and change the priority of them. The priority is set based on profitability. "

What the External Profit Switcher is doing is to look at all the pools on the Antminer, and you can see these in the Pools tab at the bottom of the screen in Awesome Miner, and set priority based on profitability.

The pools you already defined on your Antminers (probably three of them) are already available, but you can of course add more. You can add them manually via Awesome Miner for example, where you define them via the "New pool" button in the toolbar. Then you can add it to your Antminer from the Pools tab at the bottom of the screen. All the pools you have on the Antminer will be considered by the profit switcher, but Awesome Miner will never do any add/remove pools operations automatically for you. The profit switcher is operating only by setting priorities that makes the Antminer change to the most profitable pool.

The settings about "Nicehash, zpool, ..." and so on are for the Managed Profit Switcher used for GPU mining, where you have many more complex scenarios because of multiple mining software and algorithms. None of these settings relate to profit switching on an Antminer. It doesn't matter if you fill in these settings, they will be completely ignored by the External Profit Switcher for your Antminer.

Did anybody successfully run DSTM miner on 1080ti? It never starts for me, strangest thing ever.

Working fine on my 1080ti. I didn't change anything, other than selecting DSTM.

New version 4.2.1 crashing after 2-3 min. !!!

Make sure your PC has thiis installed and read ,the read me for DSTM .

Awesome miner has nothing to do with that crash if that's not installed...that's a crash you won't see awesome report . run it with out AWESOME and you should see a POP up error .

I do have it running successfully with 4 NVIDIA CARDS.

Did AM ever get support for the eBit miners?   

I actually don't know. Awesome Miner supports most miners that runs cgminer or compatible software with a monitoring API. If you have any of these miners, please give it a try with Awesome Miner and let me know.

Hi Patrike,

Here is the API Report for an eBit 9t miner.   It uses CgMiner.   It does not have a configuration option to enable anything API related.

Version: 4.2.1
API command: config

API command: summary

API command: privileged

API command: devs

API command: pools

API command: coin

API command: notify

API command: stats

Any thoughts on how to get the AM Remote to be able to launch xmr-stak because of the elevated permissions issue?    That is the only thing holding me back from getting this all working.  I thought I had it working by having AM launch my adapter app and the app then launches XMR-Stak and that does work but the problem is when I stop the miner in AM it only shuts down my app and not XMR-Stak as well.
