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

[Falacio]

Algo switching is complicated, really complicated as it is affected by many factors from including individual blockchain networks' stability and accuracy, statistic gathering site's accuracy (such as WTM), Pools profit reporting accuracy (Yiimp, MPOS), Pool Luck, number of miners mining the coin/algo, TTF block, pray you didn't mine on the wrong chain on a chain split....etc. and a lot more.

Most are truly out of AMs control but some you can alleviating by carefully selecting your own pools, IMHO, AM's true potential doesn't lie with Profit Switching with its own Predefined Online Services, it's mere an introduction or a workaround for ppl who are looking at ease of use tools like NiceHash, NEMO, MPM (quote need verification, I never used NEMO, MPM) where your variability in profit are less pronounced as they limit themselves to only a few set of pools. The beauty of AM is that you can already turn ANY combination of pools, coins/algos that's available in the cryptoworld today (mineable ones of course) into its Profit Switcher!

Like I suggested before, Switch Away from predefined Online Services and find your own pools for your coins, Stay away from auto exchanging Yiimps too if you are a true profit switcher. The former is flooded by too many users, the latter interferes with real coins' profit statistics. Also, a profit switcher tries to stay away from PPLNS, PPLNT pools (which can be a painful time consuming job to find) especially if the PPLNS, PPLNT window is < pools block time...you will waste time mining there (luckily most Yiimps are PROP but most Equi and Ethash pools aren't), also use @soothaa's coin plugin for starters and switch away from WTM...use WTM only for more established blockchains, the less established ones can get overlooked and not accurate at all, when problem occurs, they can take days to get fixed, if fixed at all. Also, true profit switcher uses "Current" statistics rather than 24 hour avg, this is suggested by Ahashpool, I find it hard to believe in the first place but starting to understand why.

Custom Online Services, that's what I was looking for. Thx a lot

Hi Patrike,

I was hoping this update might fix my previous issue with "some" rigs not showing revenue per day/month for Monero V7.

Let me be more specific:

Before the recent update, R9 380 and R9 390 Rigs using Claymore CryptoNight to mine Monero V7 showed $0.0 daily/monthly revenue.  However, RX 480 and RX 580 rigs using Cast XMR to mine Monero V7 showed daily/monthly revenue.

After the most recent update, I'm having the same issues except for one more ADDED issue.  The R9 380 and 390 rigs still show no daily/monthly revenue when using Claymore CryptoNight to mine MoneroV7.  But now they don't even show the Monero logo.  I did not think it would affect that issue if I upgraded each managed miner mining Monero V7 "with" Claymore CryptoNight but I did so anyway to see if that would fix it but no dice.

To be clear:  The rigs that ARE showing the MoneroV7 logo are using Cast XMR to mine Monero with RX 400 and 500 series rigs.  The rigs with NO MONERO LOGO at all are R9 series rigs using Claymore CryptoNight to mine MoneroV7.

Here is a link to a screenshot of the issue: https://i.imgur.com/C4AkyjH.jpg

When AM mined Monero for me b4 last weekend, I see that AM had 2 monero entries in coins tab (obviously one on old chain, and one is the v7), it makes selecting pool coins a bit difficult since they both shows up in the Pool Coins list as Monero....I just identified the old one and hides it from the coin's view entirely.

My point is, did you check if that's the case that your miner might have been selecting the non-V7 version for the pool or the template? Just a wild guess since that wouldn't be the case if you are using just 1 pool for monero, but guessing you might have setup more than 1 xmr pool @ nanopool on a different regional stratum?

Good observation.  I'll check it out when I finish eating.

Thanks...

With the addition of x16r and x16s why is Raven and Pigeon coins not added to the list. Also why is there no actual good mining software given for x16r and x16s. i.e. Suprminer, Ravencoin miner, Nevermore miner? These are better optimized miners than the one provided. Would be great if you could add these so it no longer needs to be custom defined.

https://github.com/Ravencoin-Miner/Ravencoin -- Ravencoin Miner
https://github.com/ocminer/suprminer -- Suprminer
https://github.com/brian112358/nevermore-miner -- Nevermore Miner

you can add it yourself. elementary.

Ravenminer should be in the default miners...

Obviously you can add it yourself, but there is also issues with the upload custom miner due to sizes. Ravenminer which he added is very outdated and garbage compared to the ones i linked. Ravencoin Miner is the fastest currenty with Suprminer second (ran by Ocminer/Suprnova). Those 2 miners should be added due to the far improvements for x16r/x16s

Just a wild guess since that wouldn't be the case if you are using just 1 pool for monero, but guessing you might have setup more than 1 xmr pool @ nanopool on a different regional stratum?

I figured out what the issue is:

New Pools were created for the following test using MoneroV7:

I'm connecting to nano pool with my R9 series rigs with SSL using Claymore CryptoNight [No Monero logo with Daily/Monthly Revenue].
I'm connecting to nano pool with my RX series rigs using Cast Miner with TCP [See Monero logo with Daily/Monthly Revenue].

When I have it set for stratum+ssl, I DO NOT get the Monero logo with Daily/Monthly Revenue [While using Claymore CryptoNight on R9 series rigs].
When I have it set for stratum+tcp, I DO get the Monero logo with Daily/Monthly Revenue [While using Claymore CryptoNight on R9 series rigs].

https://i.imgur.com/C4AkyjH.jpg

So, there's a POTENTIAL BUG when using stratum+ssl to mine Monero with Claymore CryptoNight.  At least it is with Nano Pool.  Not sure if it would do the same if using another pool.  More than likely would be the same issue.  

NOTE:  I could not get stratum+ssl to work at all with Cast Miner but works fine with stratum+tcp

Any difference if you right click on the miner, select "Define Pool Coin", and then set it to CryptonightV7 -> Monero?

Let me go back downstairs and see.  Be right back.

Thanks Patrike!!!

It worked, Sir.  Much appreciated...

The Nicehash API changed the unit of reporting for Nist5 to TH/s, resulting in too high profit values being displayed. I will soon release an updated version of Awesome Miner to adjust to this change. Let's hope they implement the hash unit in the API information in the future to avoid breaking changes.

[patrike]

Awesome Miner version 4.7.2

- Network scan for ASIC miners can include miners with blocked API, but with a response on the web port
- Improved rule trigger for Revenue/Profit to also support Profit Profiles
- Added new mining software: Ravencoin Miner for X16r algorithm
- XMRig 4.6 Beta for CPU, AMD and nVidia, with support for more kinds of Cryptonight algorithms
- Adjust to new Nicehash Nist5 unit reporting in TH/s
- Adjust to new Mining Pool Hub reporting of CryptonightV7 profit information
- Correction to benchmarking of XMRig when a specific GPU was selected

Thanks for the feedback. At least the Ravencoin Miner is included in the latest release.

Why is XMR-STAK still defined as just CN algo and not CNv7 ?

When i add external miners for CNv7 miner XMR-STAK is grayed out

[acyclovir]

Hi, mining-dutch.nl is also reporting excessive daily profit in nist5 algo

Hello. So I managed to setup mining at Blazepool. It was quite a bit of work getting it setup, and I'm a little proud of myself for sticking with it, and getting it up and working. I had to read instructions, and there was a bit of trial and error, but it's up and running. I am having an issue though, so I'm here for the Awesome support that we're all so lucky to have. So, Qubit is showing profit of $4750.00 a day, on my Baikal Giant+, that's obviously wrong (unfortunately). It should be reading $4.75, so to resolve it, I tried going to user defined online services and editing the Blazepool Qubit entry. I changed the profit factor to .001, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm thinking even if the place is still wrong, it still should of changed the decimal point place. Kinda stumped here at this point. This same issue has prevented me from adding Starpool (most of the decimal points are wrong, and I can't seem to get them to change places the way I'm trying) Is there another trick I'm missing to get this to change, or is there a bug or something? Thanks for all the hard work Patrike! Almost up to 10 miners, will be upgrading soon, and looking forward to gaining even more features!

[Bob-Bit]

Also, I thought about editing Qubit globally, but that would screw up all the other pools that are displaying it correctly, so I never went down that road.

"ignore pools with no accept shares" - don't work right with Rules "accept share" . it must like this: "ignore pools with no accept share in NN last minutes".why? with rules "accept share" pools restart 2-3 times,and if after this pools still no accept share (in 30 minutes) this pool must banned (2-5 hour).

mining-duth today work ugly. send incorrect price and no accept shares.
but other pools may work good after restart.

Guys I've been ignoring my rig lately just letting it chug away in the garage, awesome miner has been very stable however just taking a look at actual payout vs the predicted payout for MHP and ZergPool it is way off. I'm probably ending up with <50% of predicted earnings which seems substantial even taking into account exchange rates etc.

Given this is happening on two separate pools is there anything daft I need to start with in Awesome miner?  I have a 7 x 1060 6gb rig benchmarked every two weeks set to profit switch every 10 mins between MPG and Zergpool with 1% difference.

Understand its difficult times mining but want to make sure the configuration is optimal and predictions as accurate as they can be.

many thanks

[EncoreMining]

I just downloaded the trial version. I have 1 AntMiner and 9 Avalon 741s. The 9 741s is only one IP address. How can I break each one out?

I don't think you can break it up like you want to. (I have Avalons as well) If it DID let you break them up into seperate miners, the trial version wouldn't work for you anyways.

There are no golden rules for mining, especially for each miner's circumstances vary. I won't go into depth on all the things you have to consider but let's focus on MPH and Zerg along with other predefined online services.

Firstly, reduce the number of algos you are mining, skip ones with huge difficulty fluctuations (such as DGB-skein on MPH for example), cause once AM switch you to those, you are mining for at least 8/10 minutes cycle you defined....next to nothing. You need to filter out, those "bad for you" algos first and foremost. Aim to look for ones that has little difficulty fluctuation, yet still show profitable in your profile and just focus your hashrate to them. A good example is RVN, difficulty is steady around 25k...and coin value is also pretty stable.

Secondly, your hash power is low compare to the payout threshold at ZergPool if you only have the 1 rig of 7x1060s, you are probably using auto exchange to accumulate them into the coin of your choice to reach minimum payout faster. However, that brings in the delay factors and worst is that some funds simply just got stuck if exchange wallet is in maintenance mode, and it happens to happen...a lot. In itself, it all balances out in the long term if future prospects are bright.

In the difficult times that we're in, say, like 2 weeks ago when market is in continuous decline that most coins lose value 10% a day...that will give a very hard toll on what you finally gets. Imagine since almost all coins trades with the BTC pair, it's especially bad when both of the exchange rate of BTC/USD and YOURCOIN/BTC drops at the same time, it takes double toll on your earning figures...especially with Auto Exchange.

If you have the spirit to experiment a little, try stick with RVN 24/7 and see if the earnings stablizes, I would suggest since no auto switching needed, try sign up on SuprNova's RVN pool or some other pools with fairly fast block finding rates (Zerg only does 1.5 block an hour roughly, hashrate is less consistent and worst of all, high minimum payout threshold, you can't sell as fast even if you want to). Most importantly however is that on Zerg, even if you used the mc=RVN parameter in password field, it still will mine other coins using the same port and does conversion (in this case, with PROTON)...so you can test on both pools for extended period of time and compare which earnings are more consistent among the 2, note that SuprNova doesn't do auto exchange though, and your earnings can't really be compared if you still do auto exchange on Zerg.

cheers,
