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

Delete that miner and set it up as a My Profit Miner -- test this to see if it works.

Oh, wait ......

'Click next , it does not ask me to tick zpool etc or to enter BTC address , so I goto properties overide pool settings , I tick Zpool and enter my address....'

You don't need to do this, remove the tick in the override settings, it should work from the main settings under Profit Switching for Zpool.

Click Options > Click on Profit Switching on the left side, tick zpool and enter wallet address.

Thank you I have tried that , I have even uninstalled and re-installed the software , the strange part is that on my Nvidia system when I added a new miner , it asked me to put my bitcoin address in and tick which ones to use Zcash etc , but it does not come up with that option it just finishes and I have to override the profile to put the bitcoin address in , the same thing happens as detailed above it starts , checks , then stops.....

[STSMiner]

Hmm !   I don't have AMD cards here, all Nvidia.

Someone will chime in here and help.

Hope you like the software, it's all I use.

Hmmm daft question , could it be anything to do with using the beta mining drivers from AMD

Or is it because I am using the free software on 2 different computers would that cause the issue ? each computer is using GPU only and not CPU

It has worked fine for months using Nicehash.

Not sure, read through this thread, there might be an answer here.

I'll take a look at the online help on the website and if I find any info I'll post it here.

[STSMiner]

To find out what the problem is, click select the miner and click the Diagnostics button in the toolbar. This will open a window that specifies the exact command line arguments Awesome Miner uses to launch the mining software together with additional information from the mining software that could indicate what the problem is. Please review this information to find a solution.

Post the output here so I can see it. (Remove your wallet address from the output)

Is there any other alternative to awesome miner for AMD card configs ? rx 470 etc.?

Not that I know of that is as good as this software.

Thank you for your reply , I have set awesominer up on a different AMD system , but using zpool is giving me some terrible coin choices Decred , which is one of the worse on the market at the moment , yet when using my Nvidia card , using zpool and Awesomeminer I am getting good results..

Go to Options > Profit Profiles > AMD GPU > Click edit

Untick all the miners and pick the one that mines Zcash (12.6)

Test it.

You can change miners via here.

Hi Patrike,

Would it be possible to add a rightclick "Edit Profit Switching Profile" choice in the context menu of each rig ?

Going to options, switching profiles, searching for the profile, clicking on edit is very far to update my hashrates in the profile.

[UpWind]

Should we remove/deselect nicehash.com from Options/Profit Switching ?

Hi,
First of all, thanks for everyone (and especially STSMiner) helping out to answer the questions in the thread. Because of the Nicehash incident, I've had a very large number of e-mail messages from new users the last 1 - 2 days.

I will read up on the questions from the last two days, but if I miss anything any issue that hasn't resolved already, please let me know.

Hi Patrike is it possible to set the power limit to %50 at once for example at 5.00pm and set them at %85 percent at 00.00am.but i need to set them all at once not one by one and i cant seem to make the afterburner integration work and i am using afterburner for overclocking.and also is it possible to set them automatically between the hours i wanted.

Thanks

That's currently not supported because the clocking isn't part of the rules yet. But I like the idea of being able to do that, so I put it on the list of features to support in the future.

Greetings patrike,
I intend to use AM for profit switching on hashrefinery.
I added a few missing algos (xevan, tribus, bitcore) and added them  in options-> "online services" section using hashrefinery predefined template values (with their specific port numbers and API values, ofcourse).
But they do not show up in "online services" tab.
Skein and Skunk (which are predefined by AM) show up, but not the ones I added manually.
So I tried adding those three missing algos to "online services", but with zpool values, and lo and behold, they showed up under online services, for BOTH zpool AND hashrefinery.
So what am I doing wrong? Is it a bug or a feature?
How come adding custom algos works for zpool but not for hashrefinery?
Thanks.

Hi,
Maybe you can send a screenshot of the configuration (via PM or mail if you want), that you made to the Hash refinery settings in Online services - so I can reproduce. Thanks!

Hello,

Would it be possible to support the ZAR currency (South African Rand) in Awesome Miner? Mining is quite popular here so I think there would be a solid base of people that would benefit from this.

Thanks 

This will be included in the next release.

Hello Patrike,
Sometimes the windows process crash at the begin of the mining, and windows debugging is asking to close/force stop the window.

Can you add a watch dog on the awesome miner client , if the miner didn't start or speed is equal with 0 , to identify the Process PID and close it? Like that the Awsome miner server will be able to proper start the mining window again, otherwise it get stuck, Server side see it as a running process, but client is not running at all.
Thanks,

Hi,
Although I've already answered this one via PM. I'm also providing the answer here because it may be useful for others as well.

The solution is to configure Windows to not show those crash dialogs. They are preventing the process from exiting and it will still be considered running by both Windows and Awesome Miner.
Please see this link for instructions: https://superuser.com/a/715645
After that modification, Awesome Miner should detect it as a crash and simply restart the mining process.

Just so you know, I bit the bullit -- took the $70.00 option before the price increase.  Thanks for the software, it's the best one around out of the 4 I've tried.
Gets 2 thumbs up from me.

Hi.
Patrike I need your help in very first step.

I'm trying to create a Managed Profile Miner.
My steps are:

1. Add Host with IP adress - it is ok. Succesfully connected to Awesome miner
2. Add Profit Managed Miner with host in step #1
3. Press a button - GPU setting - Setting via AM and MSI Afterburner
4. Now I can see all of my GPUs of Rig#2
5. Next I press a button Map to system monitoring and nothing is happenings?
6. Button Start(in upper menu) is not active

Where I have to dig in here?

I have 1 GPU on a computer where AM is running, it is difined like local miner Rig#1 and this is working well on Managed Profit Switching with all predifined pools are activated and with my BTC address printed in.

I settled the MsiAfterburnerServerAgent with AM Remote Agent on my Rig#2.

What should I do to start minig with My Rig#2

And I'd like to point out on some moments of AM

1. I have about 100 Antminers of different types which are united in different groups.
When some of groups are opened it is not possible to see the main group string which shows summary statistic of a group. Can you attach groups to the top of the screen, so it could be always seen and be easy to deploy or to collapse. Now when I scroll my miners down the main string of a group is being go away.

2. The options Sort by miners name is not working properly. For example a miner with IP 192.168.0.117 is going before a miner with IP 192.168.0.56

3. Can you Add in main string of a group an ability to sort a data in columns, espesially a column Status.
Because when you have some of the miners are deactivated it is not possible to apply a command to the whole groups of miners.

4. Sometimes AM shows me asics as Deactivated, so it is not possible to apply any comands to it, while when I connect to asic via browser with IP address it is connected and colud be rebooted from inner menu of asic.

First about the GPU miner. Maybe you can send me a screenshot together with the Awesome Miner log file (Toolbar: Tools -> Log file) so I get the complete picture of this issue.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will use this as input for future improvements. Thanks!

2) About sorting - it's text based and not number based and is actually looking at the description of the miner. If you don't have a description, the IP address is used as descripton

4) Is the miner mining properly when this happens? Sometimes the cgminer process can hang if it doesn't work out well with the pool, and then a miner can show up as Disconnected in Awesome Miner.

[patrike]

As you know Nicehash is down today. When using profit switching on a antminer what happens when a pool is dead? If the most profitable pool is dead, does it use the second most profitable?

If you have more than one pool on your Antminer, your Antminer will automatically failover to the next pool in the list according to priority - so it's fully compatible with the profit switching feature in Awesome Miner.
