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

[cain2941ll]

What is the command to single out a single GPU on Excavator, i found it does Neoscrypt 2x higher than my ccminer, so wanted to use it as part of profit switching, but want to be able to specify which GPU's to use it on only like i do on ccminer (-d 1) in command line

--cuda 0 1 2

I can't seem to get this to work.  Under profit profile, I select excavator, configure, then use --cuda 1 in the command line argument but that doesn't seem to effect anything.  I have a GPU in 0 and 1.

Patrike,

When do you think we can get PhoenixMiner supported as a managed profit miner?

Development update

This purpose of this post is to give an update on what's in the pipeline right now. The plan is to have a development release available in a couple of days from now, and then a public release about one week from now.

- Pool Balance: Show unpaid balance and recent payouts from the pools used by the profit switcher (Nicehash, zpool, MPH, ...). In the future this will be improved by also tracking pool hashrates and similar information where available.
- Bminer mining software
- New pools for the profit switcher

In addition to the above, there will also be a number of smaller improvements as well.

I appreciate all feedback and discussions about improvements. I prioritize the development based on the most requested features in order to make as many users as possible happy.

@patrike, I'm running a main device and 1 remote agent. I have excavator installed in the exact same places on both rigs. Excavator fails to start on the remote rig though. Is there a trick to have it run on both?

thanks!

Hello!

First of all, thanks for your great work on adding additional coins and statistics to Awesome Miner with your scripts.

I do have some good news for you. I've implemented support for adding and removing user defined coins via the API . There will be a new development release with support for it in a few days from now.

Add user defined coin with profitability
Similar to the API call to set coin profitability, a new user defined coin can automatically be added if no coin with the specified short name exists. The name and algorithm parameters must be specified for the coin to be added. If the coin already exists, the name and algorithm parameters will be ignored and only the profitability will be updated.

Code:

POST http://mypc:17790/api/coins/{shortname}?profit=...&name=...&algorithm=...

Example:

Code:

POST http://mypc:17790/api/coins/ABC?profit=0.000015&name=MyAbcCoin&algorithm=Scrypt

Delete user defined coin

Code:

DELETE http://mypc:17790/api/coins/{shortname}

Example:

Code:

DELETE http://mypc:17790/api/coins/ABC

Awesome! Thank you, this will help quite a lot.

What I've not finalized yet is a way to set other parameters like coin difficulty and so on. I can add that quite fast if there is a need for it as well - just let me know. Any feedback is of course welcome.

Yes, that would be a huge help to me and anyone else who wants to add many custom coins in the future.

I will go ahead and just add a few more URL parameters for these coin properties. The overall concept will still be the same.

Patrike,

Once Bminer is fully tested and released next week, Phoenix Miner is the next mining software on the priority list.

Excellent, thank you sir.

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.

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.

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.

Example Offline detection email I've successfully received before:

CS - MP Miner 1: Offline detection
Awesome Miner
Fri 1/5/2018, 2:47 PM
Miner offline

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.

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??
