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

[GoRdiE]

HI patrike, I installed AM on a PC with windows 7 32 bits. The issue is that I can not make it work because all the miners that download are 64 bits. Any solution?

[bensam1231]

Bumping this, some of my miners have a couple GB worth of logs (6GB on one) in them in the AM service local directory. This isn't a big deal if you have a big HD, but a lot of my miners don't.

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.

You can disable logging in the Remote Agent configuration tool. The Remote Service Configuration tool is found in the folder where Remote Agent is installed.

So you have to disable logging individually for each miner? That seems like kinda a pita for a managed miner piece of software. This should be available from the management console.


On a different note please add the ability to add notes to each miner with a exclamation or something so you can keep track of what's wrong with troublesome miners.

I'm not sure why my profit miners are not switching to the most profitable .




I've "restarted" the miners a couple times

[cashen]

@patrike

Can you explain the "profit switch threshold %"

I'm assuming it is the minimum % for AM to switch.

So if you are mining something @ $100 and it updated so the highest is no $105 and if you had a 10% threshold it would not switch, but if you had a 3% threshold it would.

I looked at http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx but it appears to be old.

[puwaha]

Why is it that when I mine Keccak or SHA-3. that the readings I get using my GTX1080ti is false. I plus this pool passes the 1GH threshold but tells me I earning ALOT but not giving the estimate. Can someone please shed some light on this for me please?!

Can you give us some more information here?  Can you run the diagnostics and post the results?

I am South African so our currency is ZAR and for some reason it says the profit is R4500 per day ($361)?!

As you see the coin is unspecified, suggestions?

Specify the coin or the algorithm to help AM understand what it's mining.  If the coin is not built into AM, then add the coin with some information so that AM knows how to provide you with your potential earnings.

[puwaha]

Id Like to volunteer my time to research the needed data to add more coins and pools to AM. i am also willing to host wallets to get realtime Difficulty and block rewards data.

also im not a programmer but i wonder if its possible to run a server that crawls various pools for current hashrate info? maybe python?

Today Awesome Miner uses the following sources for profit information, where WhatToMine is the most popular source for coin profit information:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinstats.aspx

Once a coin is supported on WhatToMine, it will show up with statistics and profit information in Awesome Miner right away.

If another service is providing information about more or other coins, Awesome Miner could connect to this service API as well.

Patrike,

I ran across this service the other day that is also interesting:  https://www.crypto-coinz.net

It's similar to whattomine, and it has a lot of the more "oddball" coins.  They also have a calculation to look at the "miners leaving opportunity"... which is an interesting metric to consider, where the network hashrate is falling on the coin, so you have the opportunity to generate more coins if you go after one.

I don't know if they have an API or JSON to interface with, but you might be able to reach out to the creators to see if they have one.

Hi, everyone, first message here!!!
I would like to give awesome miner a try....I have AMD and Nvidia GPUS....do i just set up 2 miners?

Hi and welcome!
Yes. However, if you do profit switching, you should either disable Claymore Ethereum Miner or configure it to only run on either AMD or nVidia. This is the only mining software that runs both on AMD and nVidia at the same time. You can disable mining software from a profile via Options dialog, Profit profile section

Thanks for the reply.

I am actually moving from Claymore ether and Sia mining and i would like to keep it if possible.

Can i specify Nvidia when using the Nvidia miner and the AMD's while using AMD?

so i basically need to add -di 01 to the amd miner and -di 2 to the Nvidia miner...just not sure where exactly to go

[pythus24]

I have been mining for a while and noticed that miners are restarting roughly every 2 minutes. I am running GPU mining on Nvidia 980, and it doesn't matter which miner program is running, ccminer/ewbf/excavator, after 2 minutes of mining, the process would stop and restart immediately. I even tried CPU mining, it would run through the same stop/restart cycle.

This is what I found in the logs, showing only when the stop restart happens (the time it takes for each stop/restart cycle is exactly 02min 24sec):

I do not have any rules setup, in fact I have disabled any rules from the settings. Profit switching interval is set to 30 minutes

How can I get the miners to keep mining without the stop/restart every 2 minutes?

Thanks for your help.

I run AM on my laptop to monitor my rigs.  Now if a rig goes down and restarts while my laptop is away, it's not gonna start mining again until my laptop is back.  I was wondering what would be the affect of running a 2nd copy of AM on one of my rigs concurrently with my laptop?  Is it possible?  The objective is to control the mining from my laptop but to have miners autostart even when my laptop is out of network range.  Is it gonna be a problem having 2 copies of AM monitoring and controlling the miners?

[drd]

I have set up Awsome Miner (paid version) on a rig that has three different cards.  I can benchmark all three cards except the third card will not benchmark on CCMiner at all.  I get an error when it starts to benchmark saying Non-existent cuda device #2 specified in -d option

If I remove one of the other two cards, it benchmarks on ccminer without issue.  I have tried swapping positions of the cards on the board buy it still shows this card as the third card and it will not benchmark it.

I saw on another miner where the batch file had a default for ccminer for 2 GPUs.  There was a line that said -selgpucc "0,1" or something like that.  The user changed it to 0,1,2,3 to make it work with 4 gpus.  I have went through all the batch files I could find but I haven't found anything resembling this. 

Hopefully someone can help me solve this.

Do you monitor it with the Cloud Services? It shouldn't be a problem, I can control the rigs with more then 2000 km distance... ;-)

Hello everyone, currently having another issue.

For the past few days whenever the miner would open it would fail and try again until it just stops. This is the message it gives:

I also get a windows popup message saying "ccminer has stopped working" and prompts me to close the program. Normally after I close the program and reopen it it will start working again.

I have been miner for about a week now with no issues and haven't changed anything. Any ideas??

I'm not sure if running a 2nd copy of AM would work correctly. What I'm currently doing is running AM on one of my miners and I have also installed Google Chrome Remote Desktop so I can remotely control it from any of my devices.

If I get a text message from AM saying a miner has failed to start I just open the remote desktop app on my phone to try and fix it. This has been working for me so far and I haven't noticed any difference in hashrate for being installed on the device.

If you find another way please let me know.

I have AM running on one of my rigs and just remote in to that machine using teamviewer to use AM. This way it is always on and managing my rigs.

I'm having trouble creating a rule to restart a miner if there have been no shares accepted in the last few minutes.  Would this work:

Accepted (Current) Equals Accepted (8 minutes ago)

I was able to resolve my issue.  When bench marking, I was choosing the card by the card name and clicking benchmark.  The positions of the cards move around depending on the program, but the names do not.  So when I was benchmarking ccminer for my 1070 card, it was actually trying to benchmark my AMD card and would fail.  I had to benchmark all the programs seperatly because my 1070 card would move from position 0 to 1 or position 2 depending on the program.  When your benchmarking, look at the screen that pulls up and verify the correct card is being benchmarked for every software.

I'm not sure why my profit miners are not switching to the most profitable .

I've "restarted" the miners a couple times

I am seeing this same problem on my rigs as well and came here to see if anyone else reported it.   It seems to have started when I upgraded to 4.2.9.     I have been a lurker here for a long time but this bug made me sign up and create an account.

patrike any thoughts?

[Phatboi]

I just started using AM yesterday and it seems to be running as good as my last one (NiceHash). But I am curious on how I can see how much is currently in my balance? Is there a way to see this with AM?

I mean I can see what my projected daily and monthly is, but I am not seeing what is currently in my balance..does that make sense?

[yhbae]

I'm currently on the v4.2.4 which is somewhat old. The AM detects the new version and when I try to update it, after the installation procedure, it still says I'm on v4.2.4. I tried downloading the latest v4.2.9 from the website and installed that. Afterwards, it still says I'm on v4.2.4.

Is the latest version misreporting the version number, or is my app not getting updated? I have setup the exclusion in the Windows defender already - no warnings during the installation.

Thanks.

[Jan2017]

@Phatboi:
AM is the interface, to see your balance you have to look in your wallet or exchange
