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

[tf2addict]

Why was Sumokoin removed from AM?  Because of the upcoming fork?  Will it be added back in afterward?

[patrike]

Patrike,

I'm going to take a run up this hill one more time.

I would be so awesome if AM could just display all the Canaan avalon miners like it does GPU's on a single rig.

There are 2 currently can be up to 20 on that ASIC rig, all of the data is in the cgminer log/api as well as AM api (in the stats section), the MMCount is the number of miners in the rig, and the MM  IDX is the specifics for each miner, the TEMP[], TMax[], Fan[], GHSmm[] WU[] numbers are for a specific miner.

I'd even be up for trying this via an alternative way if that exists?  C# script maybe?

fingers crossed you'll consider the request.

Thanks in advance, and happy to help with data/testing etc.

I fully understand your request. The difficulty here is that this miner reports it as one or few ASIC devices, and then there is some non-standard way of reporting more temperatures per ASIC device. It would be possible for Awesome Miner to handle this, but it would require some ugly implementation to fake more devices than what is being reported by the miner. These miners are not really standard compliant in terms of temperature reporting per individual device.

Looks like GPU order is broken in latest version, at least in 4.6.3. I have 3 1080 cards + 1 is 1080 Ti. When i go to benchmark window, i see all 4 cards GPU0-GPU3 and GPU2 is 1080 Ti. When i run benchmark for GPU0 using AM benchmark window, i see that miner is reporting GPU as 1080 Ti, but i'm benchmarking GPU0, not GPU2! Did not had this happen before.

Can I offer an interpretation of the above, you probably implemented the AntMain miners first which caused a specific approach to reporting ASIC miners.  The Avalons are different in that one controller can support up to 20 miners.  Both AntMain and Canaan use the same version of cgminer and both support the same cgminer api.  You just use a different set of variables to pull the antmain data and that would have to change which may be more work that you have available time for currently...

how did I do? ... thanks for at least responding... in my mind, you report one, and you have the mechanism to display GPU's so I thought A+B might be relatively easy to implement C.

But thanks again for the great product and I did buy the premium version because I like it so much, I'm just looking for one *console* for both GPU and ASIC mining is all, and it's *SOOOOO* close there

All coins listed in Awesome Miner is from the WhatToMain main API. In this specific case it looks like the algorithm of this coin was changed, and that by default Awesome Miner doesn't include Cryptonight-Heavy.

I will look at this in more detail for the next update. It should however be possible to manually add this algorithm in the Options dialog.

Awesome Miner just sends a number (like 2) to the mining software for benchmarking. The GPU name in Awesome Miner may not be correct here and I've actually considered not displaying it at all. It's then up to the mining software to use the GPU based on this number. Please note that some mining software also change their ordering of GPU's between their releases, which also could be the reason for the change.

awesome!

Thanks! This feature is implemented in the Awesome Miner cloud servers, where I currently collect statistics from Zpool, Zergpool. AHashpool and HashRefinery every hour. Then it's being processed and a percentage value is calculated.

What's good is that you don't have to run your own Awesome Miner for a period of time to collect this data yourself. I can also make changes and optimizations and everyone will get it right away. Because I store the original pool statistics in the cloud all the time, any new calculations can use all old pool statistics as well.

I'm very much open to any feedback and discussions about how to improve this. At least the infrastructure for the feature is in place now.

Patrike,

How about this, is there an extension to the API such that I could externally parse the cgiminer log and push data to AM that could be displayed in the GPU/ASCI/etc area as individual miners?  I'd be up for that if that's an easier approach - perhaps there are other benefits as well, dunno.  I'd forgo the ability to set triggers, etc as long as I could see the data in one place.

hi Patrick

This is really brilliant and is already giving some interesting information, are there any plans to collect statistics for NiceHash and MiningPoolhub?

Thanks

In the benchmarking screen it shows Claymore Dual miner.... but instead of opening Claymore it is opening Phoenix miner, why?

I do not have anything changed with Claymore or Phoenix, the miner is doing this all on it's own.

It really is starting to feel like every time you update AwesomeMiner you add new features and break something else.


Edit: Even when I point Claymore to the actual EthDcrMiner64.exe AwesomeMiner STILL opens Phoenix miner!!!! How is that even possible? It's like AwesomeMiner is literally fighting me...

[Bob-Bit]

Hello. I just had an Antminer S9 delivered, I hooked it up, mining on Slushpool, then followed the directions for API access, and that all went smooth. The only thing I'm having an issue with is "Define coin" I can select it and a drop down comes up and it says "User defined" and "Unspecified", but it won't let me choose either. I hover over user defined and left click, but nothing happens. Thanks for any insight anyone might have.

Right now Awesome Miner is simply comparing the actual and estimated payout values from the pool API's. That's currently not possible for Nicehash and MPH.

What has been discussed earlier is if Awesome Miner can look at your own payout from the pool, but it can be a bit difficult to measure that in an accurate way.

It's true that Awesome Miner is based on the cgminer/bfgminer/bmminer/sgminer API for this. All these have a concept of devices, and in some cases there can also be operations performed on these devices (which is why it can be a bad idea to make up devices that wasn't originally reported by the miner itself).

It's not at all impossible to modify for the API from this specific miner, but it's a different implementation and an effort that is required.

There are unfortunately no API or extensions for this.

You should see a list of available coins here. Please check in Options dialog, Coins&Profit section that the coins are Visible, and not Hidden. Also right click on the miner and select Properties to check that you have selected SHA-256 as algorithm, to not filter away the relevant coins.

You da man Patrike. Yup, I had SHA256 disabled on the main profile algorithm page. Thank you for your help!

Which version of Awesome Miner are your running? Is the benchmark on a the local computer or a remote miner? Could you send me the log files?

I have tested this on 3 different rigs and they all have the same issue.

It appears to be only With claymore miner. I have had phoenix miner pop up when I was benchmarking claymore and I have had excavator pop up when benchmarking claymore.

I always update to the latest, so I am using  4.6.6

I believe this started happening with version 4.6.5

All mining rigs are local.


EDIT: I have now completely uninstalled AwesomeMiner and cleared the registry of any mention of it.... then reinstalled the software from scratch and I am still having this issue on 3 different rigs. The only changes I make are adding my payment addresses, adding excavator, and checking all nvidia miners to make sure I have as many usable miners as possible.... Then I start benchmarking and I immediately have this problem. Also, not all miners work on the algos that they are supposed to work for.... ccminer_alexis and ccminer_klaust work for about half of the algos they are supposed to work for.

EDIT 2: Ok this makes things even weirder... Benchmarking opens up Phoenix miner or Excavator for every algo that Claymore shows as a possible miner for.... EXCEPT Ethereum, only Ethereum actually opens Claymore.

I'm still unable to reproduce this one, even on a fresh install. I might do something differently. Could you please send me your log file and I might be able to figure out in which scenario this happens? Thanks!
