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

[puwaha]

EDIT:  the -sia is correct, and Alexis does support it.  It is a stratum problem with Nicehash.  It probably doesn't support ccminer.  Nicehash says to use their excavator mining software.

I suppose, I should tell you how to do this?    Go to the Managed Software tab in the Options, go into CCminer Alexis and disable Blake2B.  Then go into Excavator and enable Blake2B.  Finally, make sure your Profit Profile has Excavator enabled as software it can use.

Can you fix whatever is preventing this from parsing? Coin doesn't show up in the list when I add it.

https://whattomine.com/coins/220.json

I had problems adding coins for a whole week, turns out you need to name your algorithm EXACTLY as in the json.... so if your custom coin says "Blake (2s)", i believe you had to name a custom algo Blake (2s)...I finally figured it out when adding Aeon and Luxcoin....but then...something borked with Aeon's conversion rate and I haven't figured out a good way to change it, the profit factor didn't quite worked so I just left them for now since there are many algos that work well already and I rather not stop mining over trying to solve that...just report to Patrike if it's happening with your custom coin and have him look at it at his convenience.

hope it works

Is there a way to setup awesomeminer to exclude some coins from mining on pools with auto switch ? I have a rig with nvidia 1060 x3 and one 970 card, so 970 is kinda sucks with ETH and ETC mining, it gives only 7MH/s instead of 24MH/s but it's good with young ether forks. So now i have to completely disable ethereum algo from mining for this rig because if Ethereum is most profitable coin for now then my rig working on it only with 70MH/s instead of 90MH/s.

So how to disable 2 specific coins for that rig ?

You can't exclude specific coins out of the box, because that's not how pools like Zpool work.  You can exclude whole algorithms though.  You can uncheck the Ethash algorithm from your profit profile, then it will not switch to that at all.

Now, there is a way to exclude specific coins, but you have to manually setup each individual coin's pool URL and port in individual stand alone pools, then bunch them together in a pool group... then tell AM to use the custom pool group to profit switch against.  It's a little bit of work to setup the individual coins as individual pools... which is why sites like Zpool make it easier to just mine the algorithm... and AM just leverages this auto-switching ability.

I guess could make this a feature suggestion/request to Patrike such that in the future you could be able to specify for individual miners which Online Services/Custom Pools it uses, with a check/uncheck all button. Since right now the Online Services applies to all miners...that essentially is specifying individual pools manually, but even then, we cannot yet (I can't find it) pick individual pools for Managed Profit Miners.

[Rockett0]

Wanting to know if there is an API call or script that will return the data displayed in the "online Services" tab.

Is this stored in AM, or is it just displaying multiple API calls out to those pools?


Either way, I'd love to automated the reading of this list to control some switching on external miners.

Why does the website state they have email support, yet they provide no email address?

Anyways i guess ill post here for now...

The miner remote app is installed on the client

The miner base station on another machine is able to "Test Connection" to the client
The miner base station is able to see the video cards on the client
The miner base station can take console/desktop snapshots no error.

When i click start on the base station for said client i get the "Failed to start miner process"

I have two of these machines doing this.  my other 9 work just fine.

They were all built the same.

Firewall is off
Defender is disabled
no other AV running

I have the premium version so im allowed 20 miners...

If you right-click the miner from the base station and select Diagnostics, what does it say?  Can you post it here?  Also, what kind of GPUs are you running?

ok so just read the path in the diag output.

did a copy/paste from a machine that was working to the broken machine... BAM!  works now.

WTF!   AM should have tried to redownload the app, maybe its a bug?  idk either way  thanks for pointing me to the diag file which helped solve the issue!

Right click the miner and select Diagnostics.  It will show you the exact command that AM issued the mining software and there may be an error message that gives you a clue as to what was configured wrong.  You can also paste it here if you are stuck, and we can take a look at it.

your issue with Sia on MPH has been answered b4 on another thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=472510.msg19115045#msg19115045

it's MPH's issue with the pool's implementation

[kfadrat]

MPH and nicehack at the same time?

[moppidoo]

MPH and nicehack at the same time?

maybe just unlucky, MPH is a known issue and pool op probably ain't changing that. Nicehash is well...maybe still trying to get back on its feet.

I'm getting same error as you are on the NH EU servers, all other 5 locations USA,CHN,IND,BRZ,JPN all give me stratum_line_recv_failed....given the wallet has issues on one of the largest exchange for quite some time (and frequently)...can't really test on other pools such as nanopool without getting a sia address first...

[westy666]

Guys, anyone having any issues with the latest version of AW (4.3.1) and Nvidia GPU mining ?

I loaded it up on my test rig with one GTX1070 a few days ago and the Nvidia drivers crash after a few hours and the machine eventually grinds to a halt. Throws the usual nvlddmkm errors in the windows system log.

I'm just running a base config profit mining on MPH, so nothing fancy.

I uninstalled and re-installed the old version I was running (4.2.3) and it seems stable again.

[robl450]

I see there is a version 2.2.4 of ccminer available.  When I click update software definitions it says there are no updates available.  Should it find the 2.2.4 and update automatically?

[ShuttIe]

Thanks ,is it stable? with like 1k+?

[roddy_r]

Guys a quick question, my GPUs have an indicated Activity level of between 4% and 10% each in AM. Is this as it should be? had a quick search but couldn't see any obvious threads on the subject. Example; right now I have 5x GTX 1060 6GBs mining NeoScript and AM states 7% Activity and 16% Intensity against each GPU. Any clarification appreciated.

[exsexs]

I bought premium edition awesome miner and very useful software, but I have a question.
I've a farm and 2 rig at home behind router. I read this link: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/remotenetworks.aspx , but not working (hamachi). I tryed some ways, but nothing.
Can everyone help me how to set my 2 rig which is outside minig farm's LAN and behind router?

It seems that the stratum implementations that a lot of pools use is not compatible with ccminer.  Just as a test, leave off the "stratum+tcp://" part... and just use the servername:port.

Or, try to use Excavator as your mining software, as Nicehash's miner would certainly be compatible with their own stratum one would think.

What mining software, coin, and algorithm were you mining when you were getting crashes?  Using any over/underclocks?
