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

[puwaha]

Used to use Nicehash but came across Awesome miner on a another forum and never looked back since! Been making 3-5X more a month then what that ripoff of a site gave me.

Still learning most of the ropes. Just got a question concerning unspecified coins vs and specified coins.

Sometimes unspecified coins give a much high profit per day as specified coins. Just how accurate is it when it says this? If anybody can shed some light for me on this I'd be so happy.

It shows up as unspecified coin because the APIs of the various pools don't usually give out that information, only that you are mining a specific algo, and the API returns what your profits are.

uhhh I am am having another problem and am unsure what is going on now.. this is what its telling me this time =(

Where is that "-p c=BTC" coming from?  I'm pretty sure you don't have to specify the coin in the password field for zpool unless you specifically want to exchange to a different coin.  BTC is the default coin.  Can you remove this from your custom command line fields if that's where you put it?

[puwaha]

Is it possible to have two instances of Awesome Miner "Manager" running at the same time? I'm often travelling between cities and will be using two different desktops.

My thought is that if I implement a change like adding a pool or switching from managed to profit switching the other client may cause conflict.

An agent will only communicate with one AM instance at a time.

[puwaha]

It's possible to add Nicehash in the coin list ?
Or you cannot have the profit by day with them ??

Profit from Nicehash will show up on the Online Services tab, not the coins tab.  The coins tab gets it's data from Whattomine, and the Online Services tab gets it's data from switching services like Nicehash, MiningPoolHub, Zpool, etc.

[puwaha]

Is this only for Windows?

Currently yes.  Or ASICs that run well known mining software like cgminer, sgminer, etc.

[s3c70r]

RIGHT CLICK EDIT PROFIT PROFILE !!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!

Sometimes rigs just plain lock up or otherwise stop mining.  Most of the time this is detectable in AM.  I'd like to implement some kind of hardware-based physical cycling of power on a rig based on AM notifications/rules.  Does anyone have recommendations on what to use to achieve this?  I'm assuming AM is capable of this, even if it requires C# coding.  I haven't gotten that far yet.  The alternative is some kind of local heartbeat monitoring outside of AM.  This may make more sense anyway in case AM is down, etc.

I use a Raspberry Pi with some relays and some software that someone developed here on Bitcointalk:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1933467.0

There's also the SimpleMiner Rig Resetter:

https://shop.simplemining.net/ssrv2.html?___SID=U

Though, he's out of stock until January.  It's a little pricey... which is why I rolled my own resetter relay based on the Raspberry Pi... plus a I had a couple of Pis sitting around doing nothing.

Some very cheap miner watchdog devices available from ebay  - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Watchdog-Timer-Card-Module-Automatic-Restart-IP-Electronic-for-Mining-PC/173018475361?hash=item2848b46b61:g:QfMAAOSwjM5aIRX9
Just resets the PC if it doesn't get a signal via USB for a certain time.

I believe AM will add the "-p c=BTC" by default for zpool.  I don't think it really matter though if it's there or not.

[bensam1231]

There needs to be a way to limit the amount of logs or the total size of logs the AM service creates. I've had certain miners with GB worth of logs that I have to manually delete. Please add this ASAP.

I'm getting a lot of this at both zpool and MPH

[s3c70r]

Happens that pool is down or your internet connection is down. Nothing to do with AM.

I only run a couple miners but I have not had this issue until I started using the profit managed miner setup.

I would know if my internet went down...

[s3c70r]

AM —> Mining Software —> internet connection.

AM is only launching your software which connects to internet.

AM has nothing to do with your internet connection and the mining softwarw doesnt lie.

Double check your gateway and dns settings on that miner.

Make sure the IP also doesnt conflict.

[s3c70r]

I would also check that 91 celcius nvidia rig unless you don t mind burning it.

Try to keep your gpus under 75 to be on the longevity side.

I'm wondering if it is an issue with ccminer 2.2.3

You wouldn t be alone having this issue if that would be the case friend.

wow thanks mate that was the problem! I had bitcoin selected in the profit switching tab on awesome miner! seems to be all going smooth now!

Hi all.

I'm trying to mine some coins on awesome miner application. With the algorithm CryptoNight and the software CpuMiner-Opt. But when I click the button to start, I get an error. I go to the diagnostic panel, and it appears to me this message:
Failed to start mining process:InvalidApplication
Failed to start miner in Diagnostics mode
Diagnostics completed

Probably this is a noob question. I found some people with the same problem. But they got no answers.
Maybe you can help me.

[cashen]

Having an issue with certain miners where it will close immediately after opening.

Equihash is one, not sure which miner it is trying to use.

trying to use which a  GPU as hardware or CPU as hardware ?.


CpuMiner-Opt only works with CPU's  and won't work with GPU's ...

what are your pool setting ? . some pools only work with CPU's, some work with both GPU's and CPU's for XMR mining .
