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

[evolart]

Once a week or so one of my remote Nvidia Managed Profit Miner rigs locks up and requires a reboot. I only get notifications for the rig being offline maybe once out of every ten times it does this. Am I missing something in the configuration? All my email tests through Gmail work without issue. How do I troubleshoot something like this is there a log to review?

Here is my rules...just the default. Rig has been offline for 8 hours with no email received.

Hey all, I just purchased awesome miner and having an issue with ccminer.  I get this when it launches.  Ideas what is wrong?  thanks all

[Bob-Bit]

For the most part I'm loving the profit switching. I have a few kinks to work out, but it's definetly doing way better then Nicehash. A couple of questions that someone might be able to help me with. First off, I was mining away last night, everything was good, I came back into the room at one point and the computer had restarted. I set everything up so if this happened again the computer would load right to the desktop. Then I had some issues where certain algos caused Windows Defender to block them. I took care of that issue, then it was mining away again, and it was actually doing double the NH payout for awhile ($19.95 with my cards). Then it restarted again, and when it came back up it was doing a different algo and only getting $15. Oh well, thats how that goes. So I stopped overclocking my CPU, and started using NHM just for the CPU since it seemed NH is paying the most for that anyways. At one point I checked on Awesome miner and it was stopped. It had a message that it couldn't connect and it had tried too many times (I think 4) so I tried again manually, and it still failed to connect 4 times and stopped again. I was reading stuff trying to figure out what was wrong for maybe 15 minutes and then I tried the start button again, and it started right up. It was mining great again, so I went to bed. I got up in the morning and it was stopped again. I hit start and it started right up. (luckily after checking the pools it was only down for a half hour)  So I'm thinking certain algorithms are causing trouble, and when there's a new most profitable algo it tries that and everything is good again. So anyways, it mined away for a couple hours and it was on lyra2rev2 and making $16.85 a day, which is pretty good. So I was sipping on my coffee watching, and it switches to timetravel at $2.21 a day! I watched for like 5 minutes and the price never really went up, (maybe $2.35) so I hit the stop, then the start, and it went to Neoscrypt at $17.50 a day. So, my questions are, first, how can I tell which algorithms are causing it to stop mining so I can disable them or choose a different miner? And second, why would it switch to an algorithm that is so much less profitable then the one it was on? I have it set to only change if 3% difference. Thank you much for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

Is it currently possible to add any sort of profit weighting to pools to account for fees, or is that already done, and if not can I suggest it.

I will use scrypt and a couple of pools to explain what I mean.

litecoinpool.org : this is a pps pool that pays 102% : Profit value 102
ahashpool.com : current fees are 1% : Profit Value 99
zpool : current fees 1.25% + 5% : Profit Value 93.75
Nicehash : current fees 3-4% : Profit Value 96.5

This would allow the profit switcher to take into account the actual returns before deciding if/when to switch

So for example litecoinpool is paying 0.002050 and I have it set to only change on a 5% difference, the current profit switcher may see zpool at 0.002173 which is 6% more, but the reality is that's a losing pool switch.

TIA

Make sure you have the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio installed. I made that mistake too.

I know the feeling. I'm supposed to be making $4 a day using Tribus on Zpool... Not the case. Feels like I'm making less than a dollar day.

Go to Options/Online services and look for the "Factor" column. The "1" there equals to 100%. If you want to change profit value by +5% edit it to 1.05, if you want -5% change value to 0.95

Happy mining.

Thanks, just what I was looking for, not sure how I missed that  

Edit: OK so I fixed all the online services, is there anywhere I can edit the litecoinpool one so it has 1.02, tried the 'user defined online services' but that only allows me to select from the existing ones, not add a brand new one.

[kitenski]

My miners were mining Tribus off ahashpool, but reporting zero income.

On checking ahashpool it said Do not Mine, is there a way for AW to pick up this kind of message and not mine? I've manually turned off Tribus for now.

Currently it's only possible to set a profit factor on the online services and on a specific coin. If you only use Litecoinpool for mining Litecoin, you can go to the Coins tab, select Litecoin and click Coin Properties, and then specify a profitability factor like 1.02.

It looks like Awesome Miner lists all these AHashpool algorithms with 0 BTC/GH/day right now. The profit switcher should then have put all these pools at the very bottom of the priority list. If you right click on the miner and select View Details, you will see the pools considered.

By default, a Notification action is configured for "Notify once until acknowledged". This will give a notification once your miner is offline, but unless you go to the Notifications tab and acknowledge this notification, you will not receive another notification of the same type for the same miner. Could this be the scenario?

Another troubleshooting idea would be to search the Awesome Miner log file for "Rule execute", where it will list for which miners a specific rule is executed. The log file can be found via the toolbar Tools -> Log File.

I didn't realize that is how it worked. Thank you. I have turned off the "Notify once until acknowledged". Will this mean I get an email notification every time my trigger time is reached?

At the time it was still listing them as top for > the 15 mins I have allocated before switching. Perhaps it just needed a bit more time??

I am going in and modifying my install based off your question and the following answer. I see zpool lists fees from 1.25-2, where is the 5% coming from?

edit - is the 5% the transfer fee?

any know the fees for hashrefinery and MPH? I believe its 1.25% and 1.10% (.9 for the fee and .2 for the auto-exchange)

Development versions are intended for users that want to try the latest features before they are made available in the official releases. Development versions are not intended to be deployed at large scale as they have not been tested as much as the official releases.

To get access to development versions, open the Options dialog in Awesome Miner. In the General section, enable Check for development versions. Then go to the Menu and click Check for updates

Direct download links if needed:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMiner.msi
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi

The plan is to release version 4.5 in a few days from now.

Any feedback is of course appreciated. Thanks!

Note: The Mining Dutch pool should be configured with a worker name. The label in the Awesome Miner user interface currently state "Bitcoin address", which is incorrect. Please enter your Mining Dutch worker name in this field. Update: This has been corrected in 4.4.6.

[cashen]

I think Mining Dutch requires a login and worker.

The profit switching page asks for BTC address. Should this be login?

1.0 Choose hashing algorithm
Choose the desired hashing algorithm (Top right Corner) settings are algorithm specific!!!.
1.1 Create account.
Register here, or Login if you already have account
Create a worker that will be used by the miner to login
Without this worker we can't link your miner to your account, miners without or with a wrong workername will therefore not receive any payments.

2. Download a miner.
See step 1.0
3. Configure your miner.
Username:    Your loginname.Workerid
Password:     We dont check this, leave empty or you can use it to put a note .
URL:              Configure your miner with one of the Url's from the table below

You are of course correct. Awesome Miner passes the information you enter in the profit switcher configuration, but it's incorrectly labeled as "Bitcoin address". Is should labeled like for MiningPoolHub with "Worker name" instead. I will correct this soon. Thanks
