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

[spinter]

Hello Spinter... a couple of questions...

On this line you have it hardcoded to the URL for the coinmarketcaps ALQO API.

Uri uri = new Uri(@"https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/alqo/");

Shouldn't this be using the Str2 like this:

Uri uri = new Uri(@Str2);


Also, I tried to duplicate your code for Bulwark, but I never get any returns.  Is there something wrong with this below?




that's right

Sorry error

Uri uri = new Uri(@"https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/alqo/");   to   Uri uri = new Uri(@Str2);

and

string Str2 = "https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/alqo/";

I completely agree, I really like this software but certain things just make it practically unusable compared to other software.  For example, and I've said this before, at the current time anyway, having a rig with all the same cards is a dream.  You grab whatever card you can find.  So it really should be able to group like cards together without me or anyone else having to go and manually edit things.  I know this is possible as I'm using a forked version of Multipool miner that is doing exactly this.  Further as mentioned it should run all the software for an algo rithm and pick the highest one and be able to knock it out if it fails and go to another one.

Finally and the most ridiculous thing is the adding of new pools.  I'm currently running zergpool and blaze pool on multipool miner along with the rest of the pools that are available in awesome miner.  It took about 10 minutes to edit an existing pool file to have it run the new pools.  Further, it just pulls from the API which algorithms are available.  At the very least, we should be able to specify the server and maybe some ports not go in and try to add a server and btc address for every algorithm.  I"m not honestly sure if it would even work.

Cool that it supports the latest excavator, but this really brings out a huge weak point in this software - the benchmarking and software selection system is the worst and requires so much manual labor to do something that can be easily handled via software.

It would be great if there was a way to automate selecting which mining software is enabled or disabled per profit profile depending on benchmarks. Right now it benchmarks exactly one mining software per algo, based on which I've alreeady selected. This is backwards, because I don't know which mining software I want enabled until I benchmark it. The right answer is always whichever software puts out the best number.

Instead of making me click through a million menus to test equihash with dstm, ewbf, ccminer, excavator and everything else - the software should just test everything and pick the best. And preferably remember the results per software, so when a new version of the software is released, it only needs to test the new software.

Example workflow:

I enable ewbf, ccminer, claymore, excavator for 1080 Ti profile.

Results:

Equihash ewbf : 11mh
Equihash ccminer: 12mh
Equihash excavator: 13mh
Ethereum ccminer: 25mh
Ethereum claymore: 32mh
Ethereum excavator: 31mh

1080 Ti profile automatically set to use excavator for Equihash, claymore for Ethereum.

Then new ccminer comes out. Benchmark tests only ccminer:

Equihash ccminer: 14mh
Ethereum ccminer: 30mh

Now profile set for ccminer for Equihash, but still claymore for Ethereum.

Guys, i can't make awsome miner work with the latest version of Excavator, i keep getting "failed to open command file -p"

And i can't make it work with the API even by setting the api port manually

[Seanklei10]

I'm having an issue with whattomine JSONs. I've added one under the statics section. I then go to setup my pool and typically it would just show up under the "coin" setting when adding a pool to give me the proper dropdown, but its not. Any idea why it wouldn't update the list?

Also, is it possible to take all the JSONs from whattomine so I don't have to keep adding them?

Only way I have gotten this to work and show up is.

1) Add coin inside statistics first
2) Add user defined coin under Coins & Profit
3) It then shows up with two coins in the list, 1 that actually calculates and one that doesn't do anything. I then remove the User Defined Coin and the useful calculating coin remains.


Am I doing something wrong...adding and removing seems unnecessary.

[boki019]

Hi all
Am i missing something in AM
I am dual mining XVG BLake2s but i can't define that coin anywhere...
I only get Unspecified blake2s, and it does not calculate profit....

In coins i have 3 Verge, but not Blake2s one

Thanks

I have been checking out awesomeminer and like what i see.

However, the implementation for Excavator is not optimal. For all the supported excavator algos, except neoscrypt, excavator should run with two threads. The current implementation only runs with one thread leading to lower than optimal hashrates.

Is there a way for me to edit the way awesomeminer generates the .json file for excavator?

[ankosi]

Hi all, 

I am trying to add new custom pool to external profit switching. Would that be possible? Only pre-defined pools are available from drop-down list.

Hi all,

I'm not sure whether this is even an issue at all, but I find this a bit weird.
Today I have added another card to my machine, a GTX 1080. I already have 2x GTX 1080 Ti, all cards are watercooled.

In Awesome miner I have created two miners, both using the same pool (miningpoolhub), both mining Vertcoin. The first miner uses my 1st GPU only (1080 Ti) and the second miner uses both my 2nd and my 3rd GPU (1080 Ti and 1080). Using ccminer, by the way. The reason for the miner split is that when I am gaming, I turn off the first miner and use my first GPU card to play while the other two cards continue mining.
The issue, however, is as follows:
- The first miner, with a single 1080 Ti and a hash rate of 61 MH/s (intensity 18), finds slightly more shares than the second miner which has 1x 1080 Ti and 1x 1080 with a total hash rate of 121 MH/s (intensity 20). This is contrary to expectations and I don't understand this behavior.

Screenshot below.

Anyone knows what's happening? Why is the second miner finding less shares than the first miner, even if the hash rate is double?

Im a noob here but I have been able to add coins by simply adding the json web address (from whattomine) then make stats update in 2 minutes, after that the coin will be in the list. Dont delete the json addresses or the coins will also be deleted (at least they were for me when I thought it okay to clean those entries out)
I originally manually entered the coins as well but accidentally found one added after just inputting the json address

The stratum difficulty could be higher on the 2 card system resulting in fewer shares per minute. Check your stats on your pool if they allow that.

Why are you splitting them up? Just run them together.

[Mr.Spider703]

Why are you splitting them up? Just run them together.

he also wrote that on one he plays, while others at this time continue to work, that's why he divided the cards into two workers

Hi, how to enble secondary mining in excavator?

https://i.imgur.com/e3n4Z5q.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/7wUsfTr.jpg

Anyone knows if this bug was fixed ?

The secondary mining on excavator is not starting. Any solution ?

Patrike, can you fix the bug  with unnecessary connections, because pools now have 6 times more connections because of this AM bug and are filled with connections without any hash.

Also my statistics from pools are all a mess now, you have all algos to all pools connected when excavator is online.

This is wrong and should have been fixed by now.

[kopija]

Greetings Patrike,

please consider adding zergpool in the next update.
Thanks.

[emjp4]

I've been looking all over, but haven't been so fortunate. On one of my rigs with only 1 AMD card will only show "Interface Offline"..

I've tried restarting Awesome Miner, rebooting the PC, changing pools, and algorithms but it doesn't change anything. Any tips?

Thank you in advance.

Patrike,

Can you please add this site to the next update for Awesome Miner.

http://www.blazepool.com

Thanks.

does it hash ? and just doesn't show in AM ? if so what are your api settings.

All three cards are on the same machine and connecting tot he same pool. The weird thing is that when the miners first start the share count goes in favor of the pair, but after a while they start to even out.

You should add an exception in Defender for this.

add a folder exclusion to Windows Defender,

copied from the help section of Awesome Miner,

When mining on the computer running Awesome Miner, type %localappdata%\AwesomeMiner as path. When mining on the computer running Remote Agent, type %localappdata%\AwesomeMinerService as path. Click Select folder. This will add the folder where Awesome Miner is downloading mining software to the list of excluded folder that will be ignored by Windows Defender.
