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

[CreamyG31337]

PhoenixMiner keeps trying to connect to a blank pool before failing over to the one I've actually specified. The epools.txt just has the one pool specified.
It was fine the first time I ran it but was getting a connection error. I removed the worker name from the settings which seems to have fixed the connection problem, but it keeps wasting time trying to connect to a blank address now. I'll try a few more things but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

-edit-

got it working by putting some command line parameters in and then removing them again. weird.

Really enjoy the software! Works great with my RX460 machine, however not so much with my R9 Fury. 

Is this a known issue in Claymore Zec Miner v12.6?

GPU Hangs in Opencl...

No risers, Windows 10 Pro and stock settings. I've looked up the issues and resolutions several times to no avail. Can run Claymore 12.6 just fine in smOS, though I enjoy the gui with your app.

Running the latest Adrenaline Software 18.2.1. *Have also tried older drivers and still smOS runs fine, Awesome Miner does not. 

Thank you

1) Is it possible to read the current balance that hold on pools like suprnova.cc through their API? They provide an API key after you login, and I can see the current confirmed, just not sure how to filter that to show up as "balance"  I believe they use https://github.com/MPOS/php-mpos/wiki/API-Reference using the getuserbalance command.

2) Any chance of adding balance to be visible on the local web server as opposed to just seeing the miners info?

3) Would it be possible to store data of how long each miner is on each pool perhaps how many times it connected to that pool as well (when profit switching)?

Thanks for your feedback.

1) Yes, the plan is to support any MPOS pool. The current Mining Pool Hub integration is using their MPOS-like API's, so it will be quite easy to extend this to allow you to enter your own pool URL to connect to the same URL. You can expect this feature to be available in one of the next few versions of Awesome Miner.

2) That could be a candidate for future improvements

3) Currently not supported, as the Performance History is currently only storing hashrates and temperatures. However, I do receive a number of requests to improve this feature, so I have this on my list of features to implement.

1) I get paid out in LTC on MPH, will I be able to see that and not just BTC?

4) I am a cross platform mobile developer, can I access an API from the cloud service to monitor the data?

Thanks!

patrike,

Can you look into Nvidainspector for OC profiles, i know you already implemented using the MSI remote service, but i have run into multiple issues with this over something more simple and stable like Nvidiainspector..

Firstly, i find that having both MSI afterburner and Remote server open and active on a rig creates a LOT of traffic on the rig especially when you have multiple GPU's running, all this traffic keeps causing lockups and slugging performance on my rigs and some cases if it didnt make the change immediately do to a process lag, it will start mining without ever making a OC change...

Secondly i find that the MSI remote setup isnt compatible with all GPUs or something, some of my GPU's show up, but are not able to be changed via this method, example all my rigs with MSI Armor 1080ti's or MSI Seahawk 1080ti's, they are unable to use the OC profiles at all.

I think it would increase the stability and reliability if you added Nvidiainspector to the core files of the software both remote server and main software, then you can use simple input code linked to the profiles in AM to control the OC of the GPU's without needing to actively have software constantly running.

Code:

SET GPU0=-setBaseClockOffset:0,0,165 -setMemoryClockOffset:0,0,-500 -setPowerTarget:0,85 -setTempTarget:0,0,70 -forcepstate:0,0
SET GPU1=-setBaseClockOffset:1,0,165 -setMemoryClockOffset:1,0,-500 -setPowerTarget:1,85 -setTempTarget:1,0,70 -forcepstate:1,0
nvidiaInspector.exe %GPU0% %GPU1%

You could have the profiles create stored profiles local to the rig its mining on...
ex:
skein.bat
x17.bat
xevan.bat

these small OC profiles could be stored to the local host after created and stored from the main AM setup, then when AM switches algo's it can search the OC profile folder for "algo.bat", if found run the file to set the OC settings, if not found you could either have it default to factory settings or some sort of default custom setting....

Man...I would love to get away from MSI Afterburner.  I have nothing but issues as well on any rig that has multiple GPUs.  Great idea Storx

Yeah, I moved away from AB and PrecisionX a long time ago in favor of Nvidia Inspector. The question is whether it will be updated for Ampere (or whatever the next gen cards will be called) since it seems it's not actively developed anymore.

--ypsi

I dont think it will cause an issue in the future, from my understandings is that it communicates with the GPU drivers directly to apply the changes vs afterburner communicating through the pcie bus with the GPU directly....

MSI AB when open has active connection with every sensor being communicated on the GPU, even all the ones we have no need to monitor, resulting in excess cpu power on the GPU, when i was using MSI AB i was forced to reduce my OC settings on the GPU's that kept hanging up on me, or the OC profiles would become unusable on AM tell i restarted the rig... with Nvidia Inspector, it only communicates for a split second to the driver, which then communicates a change to the GPU from the readings ive done, so its performing the OC settings at a more basic level of operation, communicates for a micro second a few commands, then closes the communication and your off to the races...

Example: my average rig running AM mining Skein on 1080ti's, the highest i could go on OC setting on core was +165 before stability issues occured, now with Nvidia Inspector all my 1080ti's are clearing +200 on core for Skein without reliability issues, i do have a few random ones that only run up to +180, but that is mostly due to built in already overclocked settings and weaker card in general issues...

--ypsi

If you want to use Nvidia Inspector now with AM you can, i have been using it in a jerry-rigged way, but i have not figured out how to use it with profit switching, so i have been forced to keep an eye on the coins i mine to assure im mining one of the more profitable ones due to the limitations, since getting rid of the OC profiles, my rigs have been way more reliable..

The way im currently doing it is i installed all 3 files of Nvidia Inspector files in AM folder or folder of your choice, then under managed template profiles, on the left command lines there is a section for batch file commands, i select the execute before starting the mining option and add command pointing the commands to the location of the Nvidia Inspector file....the key was linking the command line code to the file so it can execute it on the remote rigs, you have to change the "C:\CRYPTO\SOFTWARE\nvidiaInspector\nvidiaInspector.exe %GPU0% %GPU1% %GPU2% %GPU3%" line to the location of the file on the remote rig.

ex:

Code:

SET GPU0=-setBaseClockOffset:0,0,100 -setMemoryClockOffset:0,0,400 -setPowerTarget:0,70 -setTempTarget:0,0,70 -forcepstate:0,0
SET GPU1=-setBaseClockOffset:1,0,100 -setMemoryClockOffset:1,0,400 -setPowerTarget:1,70 -setTempTarget:1,0,70 -forcepstate:1,0
SET GPU2=-setBaseClockOffset:2,0,100 -setMemoryClockOffset:2,0,400 -setPowerTarget:2,70 -setTempTarget:2,0,70 -forcepstate:2,0
SET GPU3=-setBaseClockOffset:3,0,100 -setMemoryClockOffset:3,0,400 -setPowerTarget:3,70 -setTempTarget:3,0,70 -forcepstate:3,0
C:\CRYPTO\SOFTWARE\nvidiaInspector\nvidiaInspector.exe %GPU0% %GPU1% %GPU2% %GPU3%

A very easy way to implement Nvidia Inspector to AM so you can profit switch that i can think of is to add the tab Command Line under pools, with the same execute batch file option....
So when profit switch makes a switch to another algo using the pool profile, it can change the gpu settings based on that pool's algo basically, then all you do is link to the executable file on the rig and walla you have nvidia inspector OC

Hi lads.
My hardware is GTX 1070 and 1050Ti and i want to solo mine Ethereum. Is anyone having a problem with Excavator 1.4.4a while mining Eth?

It mines for few minutes normally, but then excavator crashes, restarts and selects to mine any other algo set but ethereum
And if i click "View Details" on my Profit Miner, on the Profit Switching list, in the Profit per Day column, it shows that it "Failed". Also, when i switch to Claymore right after the Excavator crashes, it can't connect to the pool, but after minute or two, it connects. Claymore itself mines Eth without any problems.

This problem occurs with every next Excavator run, no matter what the memory and core clocks are set.

I have 8 GB of RAM and i set 13 GB minimum for Pagefile. What can be the potential cause of this?

I have had similar issues with excavator, so i removed it from my current lineup of software i use....

A little rumor running around is that in one of the more recent versions of Excavator, there is a bit of code that makes it "less stable" if the stratum address isnt one of the ones listed from nicehash...

hi patrike - In dev version 4.4.7 it seems the "add/change pools" option in the web interface is still missing for dstm and also for the newly added bminer. The option is present in the web interface for for ewbf.

[patrike]

Hi Patrike,

is there a way that the awesomeminer software shows if a miner is freezing?
On my rigs its heavy to see that one rig is not working i can only see it 50% if profit shows 0,00$
The other 50% iam not seeing because it shows the profit and hashrate like if its running

Any ideas?

Hi,
Using the two rules Offline Detection and Accept Progress should be able to detect these kind of issues:

1) If I remember correctly, the MPH API reports this as the amount of payout in the coin you mined and that it's not related to the actual payout coin.

4) The Awesome Miner API is currently only provided by Awesome Miner itself, not via the cloud. I have received a few requests about making an API available via the cloud as well, so that might get supported later on. For more information about the API:

Thanks for the suggestions. I've received a number of requests for this one and also about GPU clocking in general to better support mixed clocking settings within the same profile. I will have to do a bit more investigation on this, but I fully agree that this can be improved and that MSI Afterburner isn't the best software on the planet (especially not for many GPU's).

Adding more flexibility to the command line configurations is also on the list of items to implement.

I will review this implementation and make it available for more mining software. It will however not be for version 4.5 that is planned for today, but in one of the releases after that. Thanks for your feedback on this.

Great stuff. I installed it already. My only issue with any Awesome Miner version is that I just use Mining Pool Hub and Cryptonight miners never connect to the Cryptonight algorithm of MPH. It puzzles me to no end, because Ethereum miners and others just work fine with my 6 Vega 56 rigs. Am I doing something wrong? The ports and pool address are the default one, I haven't changed anything, but the rig can't mine Cryptonight based coins because of that...

I just found out what i didn't noticed before, besides that sometimes first one or two jobs are accepted, Excavator rejects all next jobs (Job not found) and propably that's why it shuts down.
Im using mininghubpool, didn't used other pools. I tried to run Excavator from .bat without Awesome miner, and it works same, no matter if i set port for single or for all coins. Maybe you were right about Excavator's pool "fussiness".

Hello,
I've just installed the new V4.5; I'm having issues with the balance options;
It won't let me right click anywhere in the balance page, in order to remove/edit things, and when using 'options > balance' or clicking on 'configure balance' it shows a blank page. Clicking in that page on edit - shows some of the info, but doesn't show all my current balance setup. Changing anything in there creates a mess (it overrides some of the current info, but not categorizing it under the right pool etc.).
Any idea what's going on w/ that?
Thanks!

Edit:
Ok, I found out SOME stuff, but not a solution to all of it; it seems like the new version automatically adds (though doesn't let you edit from within the balance configuration page) - the current profit switching miners. On the other hand, it doesn't let you edit those from there, nor it displays them to you in the configuration page, nor it lets you do anything w/ right clicking on the main balance page. It also lets you add addresses per specific pools, w/o the need to write the long strings manually as it used to. So that's nice and makes it easy to add pools, but I'd still like to edit/remove things - by using right click, or any other way...

[geck]

just installed it and love the new features! Would it be possible to put in an actual BTC/day column in the balance page?

Hi,

Using version 4.5.0, I am trying to develop a script which is supposed to turn off and turn on a smart plug if certain miner goes offline. To do so, I have defined a custom rule which uses "Detect offline, 180 seconds" as a trigger and as an action, I use "Run executable" which takes an .exe file which looks up smart plug IP based on miner hostname and restarts the smart plug. It all runs fine, if script manages to execute well and restart the plug, however, if there is an error, like plug is offline for any reason or the farm which is offline isn't equipped with the plug, AwesomeMiner keeps triggering my executable every couple of seconds. So the question is: is there a functionality when choosing "Run executable" action to perform it only fixed number of times? For example, if miner went offline, I would try to restart associated smart plug 3 times, if there is one, and, if it doesn't work for any reason (plug lost network or no plug is installed on that miner), I don't want executable to be called anymore.

Thanks a lot for help in advance!
