Does this include the changes required to allow PhoenixMiner to work as a managed profit miner?

Thanks!

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. Please make sure that both Awesome Miner and Remote Agent uses the save version. Also note that one upgraded to a development preview, it isn't possible to downgrade to an older version.

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

Thanks Patrike! This fixed the balance issue I was having.

BTC/GHS/DAY value accuracy for custom yiimp pools is only 5 digits after coma, that not enough today. On which side trouble? www.starpool.biz or AM?

Patrike.

Try to implement the following idea in profit switcher:
When I mine on the multipool, I would like the profit switcher to choose a coin to pay the rewards. Because if the coin is cheap now to bitcoin, then it's better to get payouts in this cheap coins.

How would you know if it's "cheap" though? Sure you can look at the AltCoin value vs BTC, but you are assuming just because it is "weaker" than BTC its going to somehow get stronger. There would be no way of knowing this. Your AltCoin that you are now paying in could in fact get further weaker than BTC.

Is it possible to add a rule or option for profit switching profiles to ignore algorithms/coins with less then X miners mining them?

[antoanpopoff]

How can I save the coins I've set on the pools I mine at? I'm really getting tired of setting coins for each pool every single time i restart awesomeminer or my pc.
Also for some reason my PC gets locked out since I installed awesomeminer even though all options on WIN10 are stopped.

Hi
version 4.5, standard edition. In the rig there are 10 cards, 7*1080ti, 3*1070. The program does not see one 1080ti card, although in the system it is determined and NicehashMinerLegacy sees all 10 cards. Tell me how to solve the problem.

I dont think that is possible, all the api data i see from the pools does not include the amount of miners... plus the data tends to get stuck for minutes not changing at times if it was possible.

Greets to all!  I just started using AM recently and have added pools from Mining Pool Hub instead of just ticking the MPH box in Profit Switching.  I wonder if there's any use in adding pools from other sites like Suprnova and Yiimp?  For example, I've got info on the ZEN and BTG pools from MPH, should I add ZEN and BTG pools from Suprnova?

If Awesome Miner gets stats from WhatToMine anyway, how will it determine whether to use the MPH pool or the Suprnova pool?

Please add phiphipool to online service

Patrike,

Could you add something to profit profile for me? Could you add under Profit Profile, when you select an algo from the list on the display under gpu clocking profiles start and stop, could you add a line for "execute batch file before start mining" then a selection to allow us to link to it either local or remotely.

This simple addon would allow people to use third party OC and Settings without a major overhaul to Awesome Miner.
Example on a remote rig, i could then create a folder for all my OC batch files, then create a new one for each algo like Skein.bat, then link to it so we can use Nvidia Inspector without you having to implement it and get rights to use someone elses software....

+1 for batch file use

Patrike,

After thinking this over, it may be better to add the execute batch file function under profit profile GROUPS, reasoning is you could execute 1 single batch file for that entire rig group

Hi,

I may have to add a setting like this both to the Groups and to the Profit profile itself. Unless you have a mix of cards, most people don't use the Groups concept as it's mainly about adding up the numbers for mixed GPU systems.

For launching an external application, what I had in mind was the following to be configurable per algorithm in each Profit profile
- Launch before miner starts
- Launch before miner stops
- Launch after miner stops

In addition to this, I also plan to support adding a custom command line configuration to be passed to the mining software per algorithm in the Profit profile.

The same settings for launching external applications in these three scenarios could then be added to both a Managed Miner (that do have a batch file concept, but it's not a as flexible) and maybe to the Profit Groups as well as you suggested.

Is it possible to add Verge XVG (Blake2S) coin please? currently with dual mining eth+xvg, second coin is not recognized on blake2s algo.

WhatToMine has a few coins not included in their main listing and these are not automatically included in Awesome Miner, but can be added manually. On the WhatToMine web page for a specific coin, there is a JSON link in the toolbar. Copy this link and put it in Awesome Miner Options dialog, Statistics section, where it can be added as Additional JSON URL's.

The JSON URL for the coin you request is:
https://whattomine.com/coins/220.json

Big thanks for GUI improvements in ver. 4.5.1 Now its much easy to change and add pools/groups
Please add in next version possibility to add a custom yiimp pool in Pool Balance section.

And we need a "Rule" which can read and compare hashing speed by Antminers and if speed not good automatic miner restart will be processed.

Regards

The plan is to extending the pool balance support to include both the custom Yiimp pools and pools with the standard MPOS API like Suprnova and more.

The rules can already look at the hashrate and perform a reboot of an Antminer. Please see "Example: Show notification on low hashrate, and optionally reboot":

The PhoenixMiner was supported by the profit switcher already in Awesome Miner v4.5, even if it may not have been included by default. If you open the Profit Profile, you will have to find it in the list of mining software and enable it.

Was this for a specific algorithm only or a general problem?
If you open the link below, you will see the information Awesome Miner get from Starpool.biz:

Many Yiimp based pools like zpool and Hash Refinery do report the number of miners. However, Nicehash and MPH does not, so it will not be possible to have general support for a feature like this.

Are you using a Managed Miner, where you are in control of what you are mining? Based on your description, it sounds like you use the Change pool operation. That operation is only changing what is currently being mined, it's not saving it to the settings of the miner. You need to right click on the miner and select Properties, and then set the pool for the miner to define what should be used when you start the mining.

Maybe Awesome Miner should have a feature where the change pool actually saves it to the properties of the miner, but that concept is not available today.

Is the mining software like Claymore Ethereum miner reporting 10 GPU's, and those 10 show up on the GPU tab in the lower part of the screen in Awesome Miner? But the GPU mapping feature only lists 9 cards?

If Awesome Miner gets stats from WhatToMine anyway, how will it determine whether to use the MPH pool or the Suprnova pool?

You can add any pool to Awesome Miner and the profit switcher, although the coin needs to be known for the profit switcher to work (listed on WhatToMine.com). In case you use Nicehash, MPH and similar, Awesome Miner will get the profit information directly from them. For MPH, that's only applicable for their multi-coin pools. If you mine a single coin on MPH, then the stats are still from WhatToMine.com.

If you manually add a MPH single coin pool like ZEN, and then you add Suprnova ZEN, you will have two pools with the same profitability. From a profit switcher point of view they are identical and it's not possible to tell which one will be selected.
