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

Is there a way to disable some certain gpu when using auto-switch?

I know I can use the command "-d 1,2" to disable gpu0 when using regular miner config but I couldn't find a way to do the same with auto switch.
I tried to add it in the mining software config in the profit profile but it doesn't work.

Hi,

The difficulty is that this is unique per mining software. And different mining software are quite often using their own order of the GPU's. Awesome Miner do allow you to specify this per Profit profile per mining software and it sounds like you found the correct settings (Options dialog, Profit profile section, edit your profile, select mining software and then Configure). Wasn't it applied correctly? Please verify with the Diagnostics button to see which command line arguments is being added.

Hi guys,

What can I do?

I need to see the complete command line that started cpuminer to help. Right now it's only possible to see that Ccminer cannot connect to Mining Pool Hub - but not anything related to Awesome Miner.

Is this Mining Pool Hub related only? I assume many of the pools are under stress right now when people are moving from Nicehash.

Yes, please go to Options dialog, Profit switching and uncheck Nicehash and enable some other pools.

Yes, no point mining there at the moment, wait to see if they bring the service back online first, check the website from time to time to see / get news etc.

I did not make a gpu benchmark and system running for 36 hours. When I tried, it seems benchmark is trying to connect nicehash.  Ate there any other pool options for benchmarking?

Hi, can anyone share best practises for VPN + awesomeminer for Asic's please?

I use SoftEther to connect few locations to awesomeminer, and experience problems with connection, Awesomeminer sometimes can't reach Asics, though I can ping them. I think, Awesomeminer tries to establish connection during asic's attemp to connect to pools after reboot, or VPN somehow blocks something on the fly. Opened TCP, UDP, ICMP and SSH traffic for connect, maybe need something else?
Any tip of advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

[STSMiner]

I think you need to Benchmark one of your cards / miners and save the result(s) for it to show profit.

Sometimes means your VPN seems to be properly configured otherwise you wouldn't be able to reach it at all. I would switch VPN server from UDP to TCP to ensure no packet loss which could be the culprit of sometimes.

Make sure the upload connection on the VPN server is fast enough to serve its clients.

Network latency might be your #1 root cause.

It's a couple days I'm using AM and I'm loving it, very nice software

I would like to suggest a feature... profit switching based on current or 24h revenue is great for people who want to instantly convert or sell the coins, but as an holder what I would like is an auto-switching based on difficulty/block reward rather than immediate revenue.

Maybe the formula could still take profit in account, but the main factor to decide which coin to mine would the difficulty.

So even if the daily profit would result lower, selling the coins later could bring higher profits

This morning profit switching has chosen Blake2b on Miningpoolhub but there seems to be an error.

This is all that happens. This is on my main PC but I have 2 other rigs also giving the same error.

Any idea whats wrong?

Is there any way to change miner from Managed Miner to Managed Profit Miner and back? It would be extremely helpful.

I have this two GPUs, but I only want to use one. How can I disable one of them?

How can I add ProHashing to the pools and profit switching.  I'm using Antminers and I have them pointed to PH but the profit is at 0.00 because I can't get the pool into Online Services.  Any ideas?

[STSMiner]

I have this two GPUs, but I only want to use one. How can I disable one of them?

In the password field add this

-t 1

eg

-o stratum+tcp://xevan.mine.zpool.ca:3739 -u YOUR_BITCOIN_ADDRESS_HERE -p c=BTC,d=0.003 -t 1

See the end of the command line, this tells Awesome Miner to use the first GPU only.

All of this below is put in the password field

c=BTC,d=0.003 -t 1

c=BTC << this is a payment symbol (bitcoin), it's used with my bitcoin wallet address

d=x.x << this sets the difficulty for the GPU

Update: The -t command disables all other GPU's, I am looking for a fix.

i've been googling for hours but can't seem to figure out.. how do you mine siacoin with awesome miner? (i mine on miningpoolhub) I can't find sia algo anywhere

You have to add the algo and the service port details, visit the help page on the website for the software and read up on it.

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

You could also set it up as a pool

Does anyone use Awesome Miner with zpool?

Out of all of the alternatives, I am finding Awesome Miner with zpool to be my best alternative to Nicehash.... but...

After setting up Awesome Miner with zpool, I am only seeing my rig mining Neoscrypt. I believe I have it setup to auto switch... but I have only seen it mine Neoscrypt since I started. When I used Awesome Miner in the past with Nicehash, it switched much more often.

At first I could not complain because I was making a decent profit rate... but now it has dropped and I am concerned.

____

Also... Does Awesome Miner support xmr in any way? I don't see it.

I was making a decent profit by mining CryptoNight with xmr-stak-cpu with Nicehash.


Thank you for any help you can provide.

Awesome Miner will mine the algo that pays the most.

If you want to change that, visit here >>  http://www.awesomeminer.com/help.aspx

Algos Settings >> http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/addalgorithm.aspx
Any of these with a checkmark in the box will be mined based on it's profit in USD via profit switching.
