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

[WitWolfy]

In the last two monhts my 1080ti gradually made less and less in mining on Zpool, went from making 0.0025 BTC every 4 days to 0.0025 every 7-8 days now.. Dude, the difficulty has spiked big time! Any advice on what pools arent so overcrowded for decent margins?

[patrike]

It was confirmed which is now lowered because of some exchange issue (which i have never seen ever). Which is posted happening to other coins where people's pending balance magically was lower so now it went to slightly under to 0.0049 when it was over the min. payout on sunday. It is being help up from PHILS that have been "pending" for over 18 hours now. When that wasnt the case yesterday.

I've looked into the issue and since the pool has not sold his share of phils going on 20 hours now (so it says at least), I wont be paid for all the other work until I mine more. Catch 22. mine more to not get paid what ive already mined because of not selling one coin in the stash. Which has happened once in less then a week. Which is fair to say it will happen again making payouts completely unreliable. I also guess people who mined TUNE coin, lost 40% of their income on it due to to some exchange issue. No other pool has done this to me. It is why I feel sorta betrayed by AM for the first time. This 0% pool has made me 0 money. I only found out about it because of AM.

Hi,

I typically add support for mining software and pools based on popularity and what users are requesting. I'm sorry that your experience with this pool wasn't as expected, and it sounds like you had some bad luck here. This is unfortunately the way mining works - there will always be some mining software or some pool that doesn't turn out well for some. Zergpool is quite large with 2400 miners right now, so it will continue to be supported in Awesome Miner, but like any other software or pool, it can of course be disabled.

How can I prevent an algorithm from being used on a specific profit switching pool? 

Using Profit Switcher with a number of pools (MPH, Nicehash, etc..).  When AM believes dual mining with Keccak is most profitable it starts dual mining on MPH.  Unfortunately MPH continues to get a socket timeout every now and then with Keccak.  Dual mining on Nicehash with Keccak works just fine.

Thus:
- If on MPH I don't want dual mining with Keccak (SHA-3)
- If on Nicehash, dual mining with Keccak (SHA-3) allowed

I know I can turn off SHA-3 completely, turn it off at the video card (profile) level and even turn SHA-3 off for a specific miner... but how to do it at the pool level?

Thanks!

The profit profiles only allow you to enable/disable SHA-3 completely.

If you only want to disable the Mining Pool Hub SHA-3 pool, you can go to the Options dialog, Online Services. Then edit the entry for Mining Pool Hub SHA-3 and uncheck "Include in Managed Profit Switcher".

How to disable an adapter in a mixed rig?
I am trying to figure out how to disable adapter 0 (tesla card) in a rig with 6 other 1080ti cards. Got this working on most mining software except for Excavator, which doesn't seem to have a cli option for this?

Excavator doesn't allow command line configuration and in the current version of Awesome Miner, the configuration file is automatically generated by Awesome Miner and this cannot be changed.

The good news is that I've implemented support for defining custom configuration for Excavator in the Properties of a Managed Miner. You will be able to set the worker and device configuration to disable specific GPU's. This feature will be included in a development release that will be made available quite soon.

[patrike]

Also if more than one selected miner could be deleted from the list, that would be awesome!

You can remove multiple miners via the Options dialog, and then either External Miners or Managed Miners section.

Hi Patrike
AM need new Rule, some asicminers have faulty boards and this miners works after restart good, but with the time hashrate go to 0 MHS (with no "x" chips) and miners must be restarted manualy.
Or please tell me how i can configure restarting processes if Hashrate drop for 10-20-30, etc percents.

And please improve GUI, with the time ammount of stored pools more then 300 !!!, i have created a pool groups, but this groups placed on the end of pool dropdown list. Everytime i need to wait till whole list will be scroled to the end. Please put pool groups on the top of the pool list.

And please add function "Add pool" to whole miner group

Please add a new pool www.starpool.biz

Regards

Hi and thanks for your feedback.

The rules for restarting a miner can currently only be defined for a specific hashrate, not a percentage. You can for example define that if the hashrate is 0 or if the hashrate is below 3 TH/s, a reboot of the miner will be performed. See the examples here:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/rules.aspx

I've been thinking of improving the hashrate trigger to allow you to compare a miner with a Profit profile, where you have target hashrates configured per algorithm. It would be good to be able to compare (incl. percentage) the hashrates of the profit profile with what the miner is currently performing.

There are some good changes for the pool operations in the next release. I've not only put Pool Groups on top, but also made it possible to search for pool names.

I've also made the implementation for supporting any Yiimp-compatible pool like starpool.biz. I've had many requests about adding this flexibility as there are so many pools being launched all the time. I'm currently testing the feature and will add some documentation about it on the web site. It will be included in the next release of Awesome Miner. Please try out this new feature once available.

Is there a way to make a failover method for a group of pools when using other than cgminer or sgminer?

If so how?

You make a pool group, and use the failover tick box when you setup the pool group.

that doesn't work, as the little help exclamation point says its only used with cgminer and sgminer.  I'm looking for a way to do it for dstm?

We have to inform users about the fact that some pools are stealing even 50% from your maximum income and that it is mandatory to find solutions and create a plugin that will inform users about real income they will be receiving from these pools.

What do you think ?

Patrike, I think that would be very useful to have on "online services" tab 3 sortable columns with profit instead of one (current , 24h estimates and 24h actual) and the selected option from options -> statistics settings to be with bold text.

Parike, each pool has miners worth in hardware between $10 million and $50 million and this is the amount users spent from their money to buy hardware equipment and I do think that AM should help them by informing how much each pool is inflating revenue values, because pools are exaggerating a lot and this is affecting so many users and you can inform them better, with informative values (these 3 columns) and also with additional functionality you promised to implement that will help users that paid for AM.

Yes, the point would be to do it from the miners menu, just select the unused/old ones and delete them right from there.

I'm seeing an issue as the log below shows. This is on an AMD GPU, the miner is Claymores Dual Ethereum+decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal

This goes on for a few minutes, Awesome Miner flags this error, but then it just restarts itself trying to mine the same two coins, rinse and repeat!

I've had to manually stop it and turn on NiceHash for the time being as no time to troubleshoot

It's sib (X11Ghost) Should I switch the Profit Factor = 0,001??

[lmlim]

hi AM team,

a quick suggestion, can you put another option in "console window mode" as minimize window ?
ie : to run all miners as minimized window.


thanks

This seems...extreme. Do you have evidence or proof that these multipools are stealing that much? 30% for zpool? 50% for zergpool? Seems rather nuts...

Been loving Awesome Miner. Been working with the scripts and having a blast. I was wondering was there a way to set the profit factor for each pool/algo from script or api? I see that you can change it in the Online services-Edit but not seeing any way of doing it otherwise.

Oh also is there a easy way to get to the difficulty of the coin the miner is currently mining? Similar to how it gives it when you do the Generate API report. It shows a summary with a bunch of data right at the top and I would love to get at that through the script or api as well.

Thanks.

It's not that extreme.  Them's just the breaks dealing with profit switching.  You will never get the full amount for a coin mined now by the time it goes to the exchange and back to your balance on these sites.

It depends on the day. if you remain with a lot of orphaned coins on badly exchange management pools, sometimes is worse. That's why everybody should test and only consider the BTC payment amount, as you can see the values from above are predefined into the mining software with the following statement:
"
Pools profit correction factors
--Usually pools revenue is overestimated, this factor allows manual correction (Profit= ReportedPoolProfit * @@POOLPROFITFACTOR)
--This values are based on experience
"

Maybe patrike will finish soon the promised new functionality that will help all users realize that statistics are highly inflated and disable pools that use this practice.  Miners that use these pools own hardware that worth between $50 million and $100 million and the responsibility is very high for software like AM and also for pool managers that have to carefully manage selected exchanges and also coins used to mine.

Have a great day.

[proteus7]

To do what you want, why not just adjust the factor setting under online services for each pool/algo combo?
Seems like this should work?
