i dont understand one thing, here is my screenshot of details about algo switch   https://i.imgur.com/3Ge0cJi.png , but it keeps jumping from x17 to blake2s (that is almost end of the list), and sometimes it includes neo and equihash to the mix. As far as i understand, it should change from x17 to c11 and back, am i right? if so, what is the issue?

[toptek]

yet another request :?) ... Minor thing so no rush did it with a big update .... if you do it ...
 
Switch apply template Menu like the Switch pools menu on the right click content menu .


Please ...

Happy new Year i hope yours and all will be a good one ..despite the clue less jerk in charge ...

If you go to the options, what services do you have enabled under Profit Switching?  If it's only Zpool, do you have C11 enabled in your Profit Switching Profile, in Algorithms, and as an entry for Zpool under Online Services?

I've seen a bug multiple times where the Console view will flash between the currently selected miner and the previously selected one.

Balance doesn't seem to work for zcash.  I have tried configuring with various blockexplorers and the addresses work on the web but not in AM.  Would be nice if this was fixed.

i have zpool, minihpooluhb and nicehash enabled, all algos are enabled. In options i have profit switch thereshold, enable managed profit switching, select btc payout and make predefined pools available everywhere ticked.

Same profit switching issue as well. I noticed under the View Details tab the profitable coin that it's not mining has disappeared yet under the same Profit Profile/Online Services the algo/coin that is most profitable still appears.

Re-adding and restarting seems to fix it temporarily but after a few minutes it disappears and switches to a less profitable option.

Hopefully this helps in debugging the issue.

I've identified some scenarios where the Profit Profiles didn't fully work as expected. Once v4.3 is made available, can you please try again?

I've noticed a few similar posts about the profit switcher as well. So once you are on version 4.3 and if you run into any issues again, please send me an e-mail with the following details:
1) A screenshot of the View Details dialog showing the Profit switching information
2) Information about which coin is being mined and if that is what was expected or not
3) Log files both for Awesome Miner and from the Remote Agent (if used)
4) The exact time when it happend

Version 4.3 will be relesed within the next 8 - 10 hours. Many thanks!

Upgraded my small test rig and noticed that it switched to Skein and dropped my profit from $6 per day with Equihash to $0.000016 with Skein. It appears that sgminer-5.6.1-nicehash-51-windows is being executed for Skein and for some reason that miner is trying to using the onboard Intel video instead of the 2 RX 5xx series AMD cards this small rig has.

According to profit details though Skein is more profitable than Equihash right now so the problem doesn't appear to be with Profit Switching but maybe the miner app or how the miner is being executed through AM?

First of all, your sgminer output indicates that it uses your Intel onboard GPU. To correct that:
Right click on the miner and select "Edit Profit profile". Select Sgminer in the list of mining software and click Configure. Add the following in the Command Line section:
--gpu-platform 1

You screenshot shows that Skein is most profitable, and Skein is what is being mined. However, your actual hashrate is very low so you are not getting the profit according to your profile - and it's what your profile defines that is used by the profit switcher. If you either benchmark or manually update your Profit profile with the correct hashrate for Skein, the profit switcher will no longer favor it as much.

Hello. I recently purchased Awesome Miner license and also the cloud services. I recieved the confirmation emails, succesfully registered the software and all went well. Then, I tried to create the cloud service account and it will not allow me to log in. The website always tells me I have the wrong password. I have tried password recovery but never get an email. I also emailed support, but have not heard back. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just stuck to wait longer? Thanks.

Hi,

I answer the almost all e-mail messages within 24-48 hours. I might have answered you already, but if not, please make sure you sign up for a Cloud subscription first. Please follow these three steps (it's common to miss step #1):

Double click on mining software to configure please

Happy New Year AM Team, keep up the Awesome Job you are doing !!

In the latest releases you can double click on a miner to open Properties. Or was it another feature you were looking for?

Anyone else having this issue?

Zpool gets DDOSed a lot.  Or they could be having an issue with that particular pool.  It happened to me on MPH from time to time.

That's correct. I just verified and today it works fine with Zpool Tribus.

[patrike]

@AwesomeMiner -

Why is it that your BTC/GH/Day numbers for MiningPoolHub are always wrong / late / wildly-inaccurate?  I'm looking at the MPH homepage and the numbers shown there bear zero resemblance to what's in your program right now.

In comparison, your numbers for ZPool.CA are spot-on, always.

Some of the numbers on MPH website are normalized for AMD and nVidia, please don't look at those. Also, please see this guide about how to configure Awesome Miner for 24 average profit statistics:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinstats.aspx

This will probably make the numbers in Awesome Miner look more similar to what MPH list.

This is my third time asking for assistance, any help is appreciated...

When I run a benchmark, none of my results are saved.  It used to save the results about 3 or 4 versions ago normally, but now it doesn't.  I have ensured that I have the proper profile selected and benchmarks checked, and I click "Save to Profile" and the "Configured Hardware" column updates with the values that were received during the benchmark....but when I close the benchmark and examine the profile in the options dialogue none of the benchmark results were actually saved.

I can run the benchmark, record the results manually, and edit the values in the profile under the options dialogue, so I'm not entirely sure why my results aren't saving.  I can provide logs, but I don't really see any errors - but I also don't know what I'm looking for.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and this is occurring on two systems now and I'm entirely unsure why.

Also - I threw this in initially a while back, but I don't think anyone saw it (or maybe no one cared? does anyone else think this would be useful?), but I would really like a "sustained" benchmark option so that I can selectively run an algorithm until I decide to stop it.  I want to be able to get up and check my watt meter during the benchmark, but I don't really have a way to look at both at the same time - especially if i'm doing a remote benchmark on a headless unit.  It would also be nice if I could edit wattage values in the benchmark section.

I've identified a problem with Benchmark save. I will release version 4.3.1 soon with a correction for this.

Hi all,

Is there a way to include xmr-stak 2.x in profit mining ?
I'm using an old GTX 480 to mine CryptoNight altcoins (275H/s 80W) and xmr-stak is the only GPU miner accepting this GPU so far.

I managed to add it as an external miner but I only get stats ...
For example can I add multiple user managed softawares to call a dedicated coin .bat (this .bat replace config.txt and launch xmr-stak)

TIA

Right now XMR-Stak is only supported as an External Miner (although I think some users added it as Managed Software and included and use it as a Managed Miner anyway).
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/managedsoftware.aspx

The reason is that XMR-Stak requires some manual configuration and has a little more complex setup. This is the reason why I've not made it a Managed Miner or included in the profit switcher by default, because then I would have a full time job answering questions on how to get it up and running.

[patrike]

I've seen a bug multiple times where the Console view will flash between the currently selected miner and the previously selected one.

Please send me log file and indicate the time of the issue and also which mining software that was supposed to be launched.

Balance doesn't seem to work for zcash.  I have tried configuring with various blockexplorers and the addresses work on the web but not in AM.  Would be nice if this was fixed.

It works when using this Block Explorer URL, which is the default since a number of releases back:
https://api.zcha.in/v2/mainnet/accounts/[address]

However, if you have an older entry you may have to update it to use the above.

Error with lyra2z config mining via profit switching for miningpoolhub.

On default the generated URL is stratum+tcp://lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17025

It's not adding the region part ie. making it stratum+tcp://europe.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17025

I had to manually edit the lyra2z algorithm url part from lyra2z-hub to europe.lyra2z-hub for it to work

A correction for this will soon be released.

i dont understand one thing, here is my screenshot of details about algo switch   https://i.imgur.com/3Ge0cJi.png , but it keeps jumping from x17 to blake2s (that is almost end of the list), and sometimes it includes neo and equihash to the mix. As far as i understand, it should change from x17 to c11 and back, am i right? if so, what is the issue?

If you go to the options, what services do you have enabled under Profit Switching?  If it's only Zpool, do you have C11 enabled in your Profit Switching Profile, in Algorithms, and as an entry for Zpool under Online Services?

i have zpool, minihpooluhb and nicehash enabled, all algos are enabled. In options i have profit switch thereshold, enable managed profit switching, select btc payout and make predefined pools available everywhere ticked.

In your screenshot it indicates X17 on top. Was it mining X17 all the time during this 10 minute period? When you say it jumped to Blake2s, what did the last interval (in the list on the left side in your screenshot) indicate? Which pool/algorithm was on top then?

[kfadrat]

i dont remember yesterday, but today it was mining x17 10 minutes, than changed do equihash 10 minutes that was 3rd on the list. Right now it is changing between x17 and c11 so the way it should be i assume

EDIT

small correction, now its mining skunk, but it is 1st on the list and changing to LBRY that is 2nd so i assume it was just some strange event that happened and thats it really

Keep in mind that you have configured a 20% threshold for the switches as well, so what is on top of the list may not always be changed to if it's not profitable enough.
