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

[pythus24]

I've been using AM for a month now and I'm absolutely loving it. However, after the latest update (v4.3.2) my miners restart very often. Their Uptimes used to be in hours and even days, whereas now it's a rare occasion to see them reach one full hour.

Specifics:
Running Profit Miners with MPH as the only pool selected. Only allowing two algo's(cryptonight and equihash) And it's not that they would switch between the algos when they restart. They just stop mining Equihash and then start at it again.

I'm facing the same problem, but for me the miners restart exactly every 2.5 minutes and it would happen to all running miners at the same time (GPU and CPU). It's like something is forcing the miners to restart.

Profit switching still works though at the interval that I have set. So the restarts every 2.5 minutes is not due to switching to a different algorithm.

Even with profit switching is off and miners setup to mine one coin only, it would behave the same way.

The general answer first:
A later version of Awesome Miner often includes later versions of the mining software as well and these kind of crashes that happens after a while has often very little to do with Awesome Miner. To troubleshoot, is it a specific software like EWBF or Claymore Cryptonight that is crashing? Is it the only software that is instable, or what about the others?

I did see your previous post that you could see this for both CPU and GPU mining. I would recommend to take a look at the rules you have in Awesome Miner. Also, is this on a remote computer via Remote Agent?

I also noticed few lines of the log file in a previous post, but it was a little too short of information what happend just before those lines. Was it a crash that Awesome Miner detected and simply restarted the mining software? Was it a rule that triggered and forced a restart?

Thanks for your reply. I will try to answer as much as I can.

I ran each compatible mining software for my CPU/GPU. Specifically:
- ccMiner 2.2.4
- DSTM Zcash Cuda Miner
- CC Miner Alexis
- EWBF Zcash Cuda Miner (did not restart every 2.5mins)
- Excavator
- CPU Miner opt 3.7.8

Only EWBF Zcash didn't restart regularly.

So I have been running EWBF and ccMiner for past few days, with Miner restarts whenever ccMiner is selected by profit switcher. No rules enabled except for the 30 minutes in profit switcher.

Today, I stopped the miners and tried a few things until I got the miners to be stable again no restarts! The last thing I did before the miners started to be stable was to re-enable SLI from Nvidia control panel, then disabled SLI back again. After that, miners have been running with no restarts.

Finally, I know this may be very specific issue to my hardware / software setup, but I felt like I should contribute as a way to show my appreciation for the efforts of the developer of this app.

Here's a full log showing one cycle when both miners restarted:

Do awesome miner let you check the SOL per WATT to check the efficency? I can't find it anywhere...

Also, I am having a daily income higher with EQUIHASH zclassic in awesome miner, but for some reason awesome miner keep switching to Claymore dual miner which in fact gives me a daily incomes lower...

Shouldn't awesome miner keep choosing automatically the best mining option based on the daily income?

[BinaryCrypto]

I keep having a problem where the miner stops. It seems to always be ccminer. The other miners that Awesome Miner uses don't seem to do this. Not sure if it's an issue with ccminer or with Awesome Miner (in regards to the parameters or build it uses).

Sometimes it will start after a profit switch cycle and then nothing happens. It will shows the first few lines of the miner running with no errors but nothing after that as if it waiting for something. This last time it was running find and it showed it had accepted 44/44 blocks but then it stopped for a long time. You can see before that 42/44, 43/44, etc.

Is it possible there is nothing else to mine (i.e.: issue with MiningPoolHub?). Shouldn't it pull something else at that point? Not sure what the X or X (X/X) denotes.

Earlier today as well, I don't remember what was on the screen but it had been sitting there doing nothing for who knows how long. The GPU was at 1% so I know it wasn't mining anything.

Soon as I stop and restart the miner, it starts working fine again.

Run GPEDIT
computer/administrative/windows components/Windows Error Reporting
Display Error Notification : DISABLE
Disable Windows Error Reporting : ENABLE
Prevent display of the user interface for critical errors : Enable
Disable Logging : Enable

Close and reboot

Try 80% power, +100 cpu, +500 mem

Thanks! Where do I set the power/cpu/and mem settings?

A lot of users of AwesomeMiner lost money because miners are not switched if they are not returning anything.

If a miner does not report new hasrate it shoudl be stopped.

A few thousands users of AwesomeMiner are porting that lost a lot of money because NIST5 HASREFINERY bad reporting or unresponsive pools:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2736744.0

Solution would be to have an ability to switch the mining program if it is not responsive (could not connect because of DDOS or overloaded pool or other hardware errors from the miner).

Also Awesome miner is reporting a lot more than we can actually see in our real daily income fromt he pools. I advise anyone to compute teh real money from the pool every day because the values from Awesome Miner are not the real ones, and you do a lot less money !

I am asking the developers what is their solution on situations like these?

Thank you

When reading the thread it mainly looks like the pool didn't report the full hashrate, while it from a mining software point of view looked perfectly fine with the hashrate. If the pool also reports that the shares are accepted to the mining software, it will be even more difficult for Awesome Miner to detect that something is wrong.

Awesome Miner itself doesn't have any connection to the pool. It uses the API's for profit information, but often this is a separate server compared to what the mining software connect to. If the API is down is not always the same as the pool itself is down.

Looking at the actual money you make at the pool isn't a fully stable solution either. You can mine a coin where you don't find any blocks for a long time, so you will not get any payouts for a long period of time and it's still fine because when you eventually find a block you get a high payout. In the past it also happens that these pools changes their unit (MH/s vs GH/s) of reporting in their API's, so it's yet another scenario that makes it less stable to react on that from the pool API.

I fully agree that it would make sense if Awesome Miner could detect these scenarios and take action, but we also need to keep in mind that it can be a quite difficult scenario to detect. If Awesome Miner tries to be "too smart", it may give unexpected behaviors as well. I will investigate this further and I'm open for any suggestions. Thanks!

You are not right. Try to see what happens if one pool is under DDOS attack and no shares are submitted. AwesomeMiner remains stuck for hours with the last value submitted from the report instead of stopping that miner. An option with a value we can configure to disconnect that miner / pool if it does not report any new values for a number of minutes or is reporting the same value, will help us stop loosing thousands of dollars every minute. You have a big responsibility, you know?

What pools do you use that are reliable and with good 24h stat profit ?

Can you please integrate into to software other bigger and more reliable pools?

Also I think price statistics could be improved to take prices from more exchang s with more volume on various less known coins that lead to bad coin mining, is it possible ?

If no shares are submitted we are talking about a completely different scenario than the thread you linked to where the shares were submitted. In case of no accepted share progress, Awesome Miner can at least detect that using the predefined rule "Accept progress". You should at least be able to get notifications for this.

What is required from Awesome Miner is to be able to take further action in addition to the notifications, and that's what I will look at.

In addition to the most popular mining pools that are predefined in Awesome Miner, you can add any mining pool yourself.

I am having an issue with one of my miners and because the last issue had nothing to do with AM I will be a little more humble  

the box is running win10, remote AM with a 480 and a furyx with latest amd drivers (I tried blockchain as well)

Problem is about every 5 minutes mining just stops, it just closes on the remote host.  Diagnostics just gives a blank screen.

I have so far changed drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled AMR multiple times and still can't find the issue.

Cards are -15 on power but not overclocked.  They are not overheating either I watched closely.  Windows defender has proper exclusions set and the only other program running is afterburner.

No errors in windows log.  AM will restart itself after a few minutes and go through the whole routine again.

Any clues?

"Diagnostics just gives a blank screen". While it's true that the console window is always blank when you run the diagnostics, the actual output is captured by Awesome Miner and presented after 20 - 30 seconds in Awesome Miner. Is this output indicating anything?
In general the diagnostics is more helpful to find out why mining software isn't starting correctly. In your case it's probably more difficult as it's a crash after a while.

Can you have a quick look at the troubleshooting guide for this scenario, and get back to us with the indicated logs?

Thanks a lot seemed to help! Last thing - how in the love of god do you setup the balance tab? I cant figure it out..

Right now the feature is only intended for your coin address balance. In the future it will be for pool balance as well.

Thanks for sharing the details. As you probably noticed already, what is happening here is that the mining process crashes and Awesome Miner detects that the process is no longer running.

Also thanks for sharing the resolution - I will actually put that one in the GPU troubleshooting guide!

Do awesome miner let you check the SOL per WATT to check the efficency? I can't find it anywhere...

Also, I am having a daily income higher with EQUIHASH zclassic in awesome miner, but for some reason awesome miner keep switching to Claymore dual miner which in fact gives me a daily incomes lower...

Shouldn't awesome miner keep choosing automatically the best mining option based on the daily income?

I know they could be noob questions but since I am planning to buy this software I would like to have all the information about it... Anyone?

To get insight why the profit switcher selects a specific algorithm, right click on the miner and select View Details and go to the Profit switching tab. Please note that these hashrates and profit estimates are based on what is defined in the Profit profile. They may not match the actual hashrate and profit. If they are not matching, please use the Benchmark feature or manually edit the profit profile to ensure they match, otherwise the profit switcher may select a less profitable pool.

Hello all! Just started mining with AwesomeMiner with MiningPoolHub. It appears that AwseomeMiner isn't switching algos based on my settings. In Options-Profit Switching, I have it set to 45 minutes and my worker is listed correctly (username.worker name) but I've noticed where it will mine the same coin for hours.

In MPH, I have my Worker Login, Worker Password and Job set to 'Account's default job'.

Am I missing something?


Even If I manually stop the miner and restart it, It will go back mining the on the same algo (even if a different one is listed as top one to mine on MiningPoolHub).

Thank you for your response. I've seen the same behavior even after running a precise benchmark when using 'all combined', but I will try it again. Under profit switching, I have my interval set to 60 with the profit switch threshold set to 15%. Im not even sure if this is a good setting or not. What do you (or others) recommend for these settings? Also, when benchmarking, Algos like Cryptonight or Quark don't seem to give me benchmarked results after running the test. (5 GTX 1070 Ti, GPU: all combined and precise benchmark).


Thanks again for your time and assistance.

Fan speed is possible. Please use:

Code:

stats.Fan1 + " / " + stats.Fan2

Individual hash rate is not supported.

thanks a lot!

as for Individual chip hash rate - is it not possible to fetch using some API? I thought you can grab everything that is shown on Miner status page.

thanks a lot for your helpful reply! Is it important in the PROFIT PROFILE to set also the power? By default it's set to 0w also after the benchmark test

A lot of users of AwesomeMiner lost money because miners are not switched if they are not returning anything.

If a miner does not report new hasrate it shoudl be stopped.

A few thousands users of AwesomeMiner are porting that lost a lot of money because NIST5 HASREFINERY bad reporting or unresponsive pools:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2736744.0

Solution would be to have an ability to switch the mining program if it is not responsive (could not connect because of DDOS or overloaded pool or other hardware errors from the miner).

Also Awesome miner is reporting a lot more than we can actually see in our real daily income fromt he pools. I advise anyone to compute teh real money from the pool every day because the values from Awesome Miner are not the real ones, and you do a lot less money !

I am asking the developers what is their solution on situations like these?

Thank you

When reading the thread it mainly looks like the pool didn't report the full hashrate, while it from a mining software point of view looked perfectly fine with the hashrate. If the pool also reports that the shares are accepted to the mining software, it will be even more difficult for Awesome Miner to detect that something is wrong.

Awesome Miner itself doesn't have any connection to the pool. It uses the API's for profit information, but often this is a separate server compared to what the mining software connect to. If the API is down is not always the same as the pool itself is down.

Looking at the actual money you make at the pool isn't a fully stable solution either. You can mine a coin where you don't find any blocks for a long time, so you will not get any payouts for a long period of time and it's still fine because when you eventually find a block you get a high payout. In the past it also happens that these pools changes their unit (MH/s vs GH/s) of reporting in their API's, so it's yet another scenario that makes it less stable to react on that from the pool API.

I fully agree that it would make sense if Awesome Miner could detect these scenarios and take action, but we also need to keep in mind that it can be a quite difficult scenario to detect. If Awesome Miner tries to be "too smart", it may give unexpected behaviors as well. I will investigate this further and I'm open for any suggestions. Thanks!

You are not right. Try to see what happens if one pool is under DDOS attack and no shares are submitted. AwesomeMiner remains stuck for hours with the last value submitted from the report instead of stopping that miner. An option with a value we can configure to disconnect that miner / pool if it does not report any new values for a number of minutes or is reporting the same value, will help us stop loosing thousands of dollars every minute. You have a big responsibility, you know?

What pools do you use that are reliable and with good 24h stat profit ?

Can you please integrate into to software other bigger and more reliable pools?

Also I think price statistics could be improved to take prices from more exchang s with more volume on various less known coins that lead to bad coin mining, is it possible ?

If no shares are submitted we are talking about a completely different scenario than the thread you linked to where the shares were submitted. In case of no accepted share progress, Awesome Miner can at least detect that using the predefined rule "Accept progress". You should at least be able to get notifications for this.

What is required from Awesome Miner is to be able to take further action in addition to the notifications, and that's what I will look at.

In addition to the most popular mining pools that are predefined in Awesome Miner, you can add any mining pool yourself.

Noticed similar thing with zpool for the last 2 days (and several occassions before), and for the time being I just turned zpool off in profit switcher. What usually happens is that pool only reports a fraction, of software reported hashrate and on the miner end, shares are submitted as normal.

Do you think a fix such as to let AM detect poolside hashrate < miner hashrate by certain percentage (customizable or say 50%) then AM will ignore the said pool for X hours?

In the API's that returns information about miners (either all, or one specific), you can find this information if you search for "asicList" and look at the sub entries.

It's mainly people running the software at medium and large scale that fill in the power settings. You can get the profit switcher to get a bit more detailed in the decisions, but it's generally not a large impact.

Is there any way to mine also PASCAL coin with awesome miner? The combination Claymore dual ETH+PASC is quite profitable.
is there any way to add it to the auto switch pools?
