I would really need someone to explain me how the automatic switch works.

I am using coinwarz for statistics. I have bought a paid API key. I set the time to 5 minutes but with a minimum of 15% change.

In awesome miner there are 2 sections with statistics: the COINS and the ONLINE SERVICES. Wich of the 2 awesome miner uses to change and switch to another coin/algo?

Also, sometimes awesome miner starts mining a coin that is not the most profitable. I check on the COINS or on the ONLINE SERVICES sections and I see there that there is another more profitable coin to extract. Then I have to switch manually.

I already did a full Benchmark of my graphic card.

Any clarification would be really appreciated!

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?

I see pythus got his issue resolved, unfortunately for me it seems to be a different cause.
I'm only using Claymore Zcash miner and Claymore Cryptonight miner. I have two dedicated mining rigs managed over the Remote Manager. They both get stopped/started at the same time. Looking at the log file, it seems to be happening just around the time Awesome Miner does profitability calculations.

Can you explain me why when i define a pool coin on a nicehash scrypt pool (for Litecoin)
Each restart of AM, the coin is lost and it's undef ?

The coin is defined on the pool too.

IT's a bug ? Or not possible to define a pool on nicehash pool ? if yes why ?

Had to use a restore point in windows 7 now AM has a start error of:    error loading Data.bin

Is there a quick fix for this, tried reinstalling.

Thanks

I'm trying to setup a managed mine for the following :
ccminer -a skein -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:2016 -u mywallet -i 28
(lizus coin , sken algo)

I have uploaded the custom ccminer on the miner so far so good.
When i'm starting the miner even though I did not place any password on the pool setup
automatically the client is adding "-p x"
"ccminer -a skein -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:2016 -u mywallet -p x -i 28"


Could someone guide me on how to avoid that?

[lewisc46]

Wonder if anyone can help. I have the pro version of awesome miner running on 1 pc with remote awesome miner on a 2nd pc. Every now and again the console locks up and windows advises it’s not responding. Anyone else have similar issues or know of a fix?

Running it on an i7 7700k with 16gb ram and win 10.

Well, just had another play with this program,
Seems that it just pulls the profit calculations from whattomine and the rates from coinbase.

I didn't know that,
I had assumed that if you were mining on just one pool, it would mine the most profitable coin on that pool.

I'd imagine you would have to have all the pool options selected for the average profitable coin to be in concurrent agreement with whattomine site (and really? why them, it has to be the most inaccurate place to get that info)

Also why coinbase for exchange prices, surly a better average price would be from coinmarketcap, cryptofinance, or even google.

That was probably the reason for identical miners being so different and one steadfastly selecting Lara2 despite me unselecting it in three seperate places in the program.

Anyhoo. after much messing about it seems I can just set up a ManagedMiner and once "makepredefinedpoolsavailubleeverywhere" is selected, can switch to the algo I want dependant on actual profits on the pools I use easily.


It's a shame it's such a winXP program with little thought to modern user interface, and only really understood after many weeks of use, I'm still totally unhappy with how the profit switching is difficult to parse and see what's going on, so I'll just use it for single Algo mining until I have a folder of miners and batch files, which will serve the exact same purpose.

Shame these type of programs can/could be rather useful, but it's grown into such a behemoth full of quirks and settings that only the programmer know how they interact with each other. So many tooltips trying to explain what a setting does - when it should be self evident. So many places for the same things, three different ways to deselect an algorithm in Algos in profit profiles, in managed miners - it's dam near crazy.

If you use this, just make sure you test pools and miners directly occasionally to make sure you are getting the best profit for your hashrates - stay safe out there.
To the programmer/owner, no offence meant, this is just a frustrating program, and I imagine you are insanely busy with helping people, answering the same questions over and over, and trying to track down issues in the code, let alone new feature requests, and certainly have no time for improvements in the UI, all the best, just thought I'd give you an overview of a random persons impression after a month using AM.

I agree that AM shows values that have nothing to do with real income usually you get 5 times less in payment from that pool than the value that AM shows to you and that is inflated a lot, even if you have 24hr average and compare values shown by AM with whattomine website you will see that AM inflates the values by 40% all the time, probably the reason is to cheat the users to use this software.

Also on top of above issue the biggest one is that the values have nothing to do with real pool reward. You will see that the income changes drastically when the new statistics are downloaded every 15 minutes (or configured value) instead of taking realtime pool reward that at least will be more realistic.

PATRIKE, You can implement a NodeJS server with WEBSOCKETS and send realtime correct values to all users.
A NodeJS instance can handle 100.000 simultaneous connections that are notified instantly with used pools profitability instead of having 100.000 users to download statistics that are delayed sometimes with even an hour compared to realtime revenue that you can provide with websockets.    

What is the point to see that you make $200/day/rig shown and being lied by AwesomeMiner and in reality you are being paid by the pool with 10 times less ?

It is very important for every user that has installed AM to compare the real daily payment from the pool with the value shown in AM to understand where AM does a lot of mistakes and also we have to ask Patrike to fix the issue because you will loose lots of money otherwise.  

Who thinks the same as I do, that Websockets implementation is 100 times better than this year 90's implementation of request based implementation ?

Holy shit then write it yourself. It's not that hard. He's got a ton to work on instead of changes that don't really need to happen.

[poby]

I find AM to be remarkably accurate in revenue estimation.  Mining equihash the amount AM estimates is pretty spot on.

[miner14]

I really don't care what it "says" the earnings are. (I go by what btc is actually paid to me, over time, for that metric)

But I do care deeply what it's using to "decide" on the switching algorithm and that I'm on the most profitable one at any given time.

I'd question the usefulness of real time revenue - I even question the use of 1 hour profitability found on some YIIMP pools when hundreds of other miners are constantly changing into that algorithm because it makes more money at that exact instance. This is further compounded by difficulty changes, fluctuating markets, pool luck, pool PPLNS or similar payment systems, time for miners to reach full speed, etc.

I've found AM to be +/- 20% of estimated profits which considering the above variables I am fine with. For example, my estimated profit was 90 USD (and I didn't even specify the coin the algorithm was mining) and received ~75 USD after conversion to BTC from ahash using Ahash's own 24 hour profitabilty data for profit switching.

Hello, I have one computer that has a mixture of 980ti and 1070 and 1080ti cards. Is there a way I can split those up to get more efficient earnings? Right now they are on Nice hash but I would prefer the flexibility awesome miner gives me. Thanks
