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

[moppidoo]

Hi patrician, I have a new problem, I'm not sure it's the fault of AM or the COINS APP.

The case that since the last version, the addition of modenas that there is in another post of bitcointalk and that you have recommended, has stopped working correctly.

There's some new problem. Awesome coin has not changed, it has the same version several weeks ago, but Awesome miner has changed. That is why I am inclined to say that it is a problem of Awesome miner, I leave the link, on the same page we complained about two people. I am running version 5.1, I do not know if it could be fixed quickly because that extension the truth is very useful

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2979494.380

The first error of another user is related to read cryptopia, that or I think it is AM error, the other error is giving me as I can not do the BD.

As I say, the awesome coin version has not changed, only Awesome miner has changed.

most likely cryptopia api changed / down again, happens all the time. Don't think anything Patrike can do about it.

a great program.

two issues that happen to me after updates.

- x13 something has changed nicehash that does not mark mine values well
- Hmq1725 is not supported by amd (Rx580), always leaving in online services

The plan is to have a new development version of Awesome Miner available within a few hours - and one of the changes is to adjust to the X13 reporting for Nicehash.

z-enemy miner does not work on benchmarks?
Minning is ok.

I've not used this mining software myself. It might be that it has API compatible to one of the existing software, but not the same benchmarking flags. Do you get the same issue no matter if you benchmark a single GPU or if you select to benchmark all combined?

I have it installed and it is fully compatible ccminer, it is a fork of ccminer and they have called it enemy. It works correctly and with full api. It is a miner that I do not find much use, because the other miners that I have overcome the enemy, is my opinion.

Patricio, I'll be attentive to see if the autoswitch problem occurs again, to know the time and send the log, but to which mail I sent it

He's right saying zealot/enemy miner (at least versions 1.09 and 1.10) doesn't work with benchmarking tool. Mining is still ok. Latest versions of enemy are no longer forked from ccminer. So until Patrike check this, you can't benchmark algos with this software.

I just had a quick look and z-enemy doesn't support the same benchmarking command line parameters as ccminer. I will make some improvements to the benchmarking in one of the next few releases and I will try to address this as well.

[patrike]

What about supporting of Whatsminer M3?
And further.. Why in "Customize Progress Field" lines (in "Appearance") it is impossible to use all data from  "Summary", "Devices" and "Pools" tabs of "Details" window ? Why this can not be improved in the program?

I've had reports from other users that Whatsminer M3 can be monitored via Awesome Miner.

A signficant number of properties for Summary can be access. Search for "status object" on this page:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/customizefield.aspx

The devices and pools are arrays of information and might be a bit more difficult to work with from these expressions, but could probably be supported later on as well. The reason why it's not supported yet is that no one asked for it.

Were there any specific propreties you had in mind?

[patrike]

Is there any rule action that will execute a batch file on a remote rig?  I'm not seeing any way to do it but maybe I'm missing it.

In the properties of a rule, you can select the action "Miner Command" and then "Execute Remote Command". Using this feature you can execute any application or batch file on a remote computer.

I could be the same as nevermore (ccminer fork)  https://github.com/brian112358/nevermore-miner/releases

In coin section, can we add new coin by ourself?

Yes, you can manually add a coin. Please go to the Options dialog, Coins&Profit section and add a User defined coin.

It is doing same algo  same pool but keeps restarting at each interval

It also appears to be stopping the miner after some period of time.  View details shows the same as when its running.  Is there someplace I can look to see whats going on?

The Awesome Miner log file (toolbar: Tools -> Log File) typically indicates what's going on. If a mining process is crashing three times within a short period of time, Awesome Miner will no longer try to restart it and leave it stopped. This is by default settings, and the behavior can be changed via Options dialog, Advanced section.

I seem to be seeing this before it stops.

[E]Failed to process API request (time: 7343 ms): threads
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
5/22/2018 6:33:31 PM.292 [015] [E]Failed to process API request (time: 1002 ms): hwinfo
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:4028

This indicates that Awesome Miner is unable to connect to the API of the mining software, and could either be that the mining software crashed or simply doesn't respond.

If it's a Managed Miner, Awesome Miner (or Remote Agent if this is a remote computer) will print "process not running" in the log file, and will perform a restart of the mining software because of this.

--- SRBMiner configuration page to override config.txt via a Profit profile

Nice! Awesome miner! (damn, worst pun ever)

But... Again, I have some tips to improve the SRB integration (sorry, I think you are bored with my comments).

SRB needs differents "config.txt overrides" for every algorithm. For example:
Config.txt for V7 needs "normalv7" at the first line and different intensity/threads if you compare to CN heavy.

With the current testing version, you can set only one config.txt override for Profit Miners. So, you can fine-tuning just one Cryptonight variant. For example: you can set profit miners to switch between V7 coins with SRB, but can't add Heavy ones.

It's possible to solve this by two ways:
1- Allow override config.txt by algorithm. It could be the best option, because you can setup the best values for every algorithm and be happy with auto-switching Profit Miner.
2- If the first try isn't easy to do, you can just allow Custom miners (maybe the market as SRBMiner compatible ones) to override config.txt. This way I could copy SRBMiner into another path, and set it as "SRBMiner Heavy" and set custom config.txt, then copy other one to "SRBMiner LiteV7" and set another custom config.txt, etc.

These ways could solve the problem and allow us to "dance" with all Cryptonight variants.

Sorry my bad english ;p

And thanks for your Uber Max Awesome Miner!

Thanks Patrike for adding coincalculators for stats.
When selecting this option it seems there's a lot more coins in coins tab. And here's my question :
Would it be possible for AM to ask both whattomine and coincalculators simultaneously, and then display all coins available without duplicate ones ?

Thanks for your nice feedback. I will soon implement support for this scenario to configure per algorithm. It will be according to your point #1 above.

Yes, this is exactly what I have in mind - that you should be able to select both WhatToMine and CoinCalculators as sources. The plan is also allow you to define their priority order - so when a coin exists on both sites, Awesome Miner would favor the site you put as highest priority.

Indicate source of coin statistics for each entry in the Coins tab


I do not find that function.

It's nice to see how the program progresses. Anxious so that all the data sources of currencies can be used at the same time.

Due to the fact that the expansion of the place is not in one room, but in different places, where the cost of energy is charged in different ways
Is there an opportunity or plans for the future to tie certain prices to certain ant?

Code:

--- API connection retry can be configured via the Options dialog, Advanced section, to better handle poor network connections

Thank you, it's work

[moppidoo]

--- CoinCalculators.io added as a new coin statistics provider

Hi Patrike,

This is a welcome addition, just needed clarification is querying CoinCalculators.io through AM subject to 100 API calls / 24h limit?

On the coins tab, in the right most column "Revenue/Profit", you will see if the entry is from WhatToMine.com or any of the other sources. The reason for putting this information here is because the plan is to soon have support for including several of these sources at once.

Thanks for the update. I've been thinking of adding power cost to a Profit Profile, making it possible to have more than once cost defined in the system.

Hi Patrike,

Hi. Awesome Miner uses a special API key that gives unlimited number of requests to CoinCalculators.io.
