I was surprised to switch to X13 on GPUs (and CPU) 
And I just found this :

If you have zpool enabled in your profit switching change the profit factor of online service for X13. Apply your current profit factor divided by 1000

I and other people are suffering some erratic failures with the AW api, with the extension of AW coin update. I know it's a separate development, but it seems that AW sometimes fails, and when it happens it's a failure that stays for days.

I have reinstalled the AWCU extension, I have reinstalled the latest version of AW beta. And it does not work.

This afternoon the system worked, but when I was mining with the same machine that has AW installed, I launched the AWCU currency updater, and gave that error, and I can not eliminate it.

The other time was an error that also disappeared only after the last update. I do not know if there will be a relationship with your API.

Hello patrike, i am regarding rules and notifications: http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/notifications.aspx

I would like to see in notification when low hashrate or high chip temp event occurs:  current hashrate value and chip temp value, is it possible to add corresponding variables like [MinerName] or [MinerGroup]?

thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion!

--- 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?

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

Do you mean you will proxy all calls to coincalculators ?

No. Awesome Miner make the requests directly to CoinCalculators, with a special API key that doesn't limit the number of requests.

Is it possible to display the monthly projected profit in addition to revenue?

are you talking about: Options => General => Miner list => "Display revenue per month in group summary" ?

No. I mean to display daily/monthly PROFIT next to revenue

First of all, make sure you have enabled Options -> General -> "Dispaly profit in additon to revenue". Then you also need to have a power cost defined in Options -> Profit switching, "Power cost".

This will result in a display of both Revenue and Profit in the list of miners.

[patrike]

Patrike, I want to suggest you to add right click menu for online services page with statistics and mining options

Online services right click menu:
1) Show volatility graph
2) Start mining here     >
2a) until the next switching interval
2b) until the manual stop/switch
2c) until 50% of miners leave
2d) until 50% hash rate reduce
2e) for the next 2 hours
2f) for the next 24 hours

See the picture: https://yadi.sk/i/kZL5ahqc3WXaEZ

Thanks for the suggestion - it's an interesting concept.

Patrike, how to add worker name to see it in pool webpage? The worker name is visible only for MPH and Mining Dutch pools, but can not be visible for other Yiimp pools. Is it possible to write the worker name just once to let it work for all pools and miners?

I don't think the Yiimp-based pools have a standard way to handle the worker name. Some allows specific ID's to be pass via the password field, but I'm not aware of any solution for all of these pools.

Does awesome miner have a different language alternative

English is currently the only supported language

[patrike]

Can we get support for Amoveo Miners. https://github.com/krypdkat/AmoveoMinerMan

Dont need support for the coin prices as its not on coinmarketcap but support for the miner would be great.

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I couldn't see any indication that this mining software provides a monitoring interface (API) for Awesome Miner to use. For the moment you need to add this mining software as a Generic Miner in Awesome Miner:

More on the OC topic.

if you are profit mining, and the miner dies, and AM restarts it.  it seems the *stop* OC is sent, but the *start* is not.  Happens in all cases on all miners.

I'll have to go look at the long the next time it happens, but my guess is because its trying to restart the algo that had just killed the miner if may think it doesn't need to execute it, because it did that already - just a though.

It's possible to follow all the GPU clocking commands that Awesome Miner send to MSI Afterburner if you search for "Executing GPU clocking command" in the Remote Agent log file. You can that verify exactly which commands that are being sent and when. Please get back to me if you find any issues.

In general, if Awesome Miner restarts a crashed mining process, it will apply the Start-clocking profile again.

Hi Patrik,

Can confirm I'm also experiencing clocking profile execution issue, I haven't used the feature much, just trialling to see if it works out. I'm getting similar issues where the starting profile doesn't get applied when profit switching took place. Not just if miner crashed, as @akadamson said though, the stop seems always executed, but not the start. I'll try to see if I can spot it in the logs and send you a copy.

Just FYI, after seeing the behavior, I bulk removed the clocking profiles from the profit profile then manually load the desired clocking again via AM. Then strangest thing is AM still send the stopping profile (which was unchecked) command to the remote rig upon profit switching.

Maybe it's something with the sequence of execution of commands gets complex during profit switching, timeouts between running processes (ab, remote agent, mining SW, ab remote server...etc) especially rig is running tight on CPU resources with 8 gpu and a cheap Celeron, CPU is always 80-100% when mining process is running, that's just a guess

Thanks for the update - I will explore this scenario a bit more. If you find any specific scenario where you think the log file can be of use for me - please send me via e-mail and I can analyze the exact scenario you experience. Thanks!

This will result in a display of both Revenue and Profit in the list of miners.

Sure, but the point is to see the combined profit next to revenue, for example at the dashboard.  Imagine a farm with a lots of gpu rigs and lots of different type of asics, all working on different pools, it would be nice to see that the combined profit is X usd, next to the revenue

[patrike]

Good Morning!

Not sure if the latest Dev version broke this or it's just a lot more snappier and now it's a problem,

I use the "execute batch commands" feature to run a script after a miner stops.  Previously there was no issues and my script was able to complete before another mining instance was set up, but now it can't.  I've even tried to preemptively terminate the awesome miner agent and run it before it can start a mining instance, and surprisingly, it is really fast and still launches one!.  Or perhaps it's slower at executing the script now?  In any case, can we get a delay feature?  I thought that's what the delay auto start might do, but that seems to only apply to reboots (or did it apply to resets and switching before? I can't recall...)

When the miner stops, Awesome Miner is only waiting up to 8 seconds for the batch file to complete. Is this a long running batch task?

For the dashboard I agree that support for displaying profit should be added. I've had a few similar requests earlier, so this will be supported in the future.

--- 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?

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

Thanks for the clarification, another question regarding coins that aren't listed in the current API but are available individually (not listed due to low 24h volume according to their site), is there a workaround within AM to mitigate that without having to use 3rd party add-in?

Do you have an example of a coin I can take a look at? For WhatToMine there is a concept to include additional coins by adding individual JSON URL's in the Options dialog. Is a similar concept needed for CoinCalculators?

Certainly, for example DINERO (DIN):
https://www.coincalculators.io/coin.aspx?crypto=dinero-mining-calculator
https://www.coincalculators.io/api.aspx?name=dinero&hashrate=2000000&power=250&poolfee=0&powercost=0.1

And there are many others, I believe they classify these low volume coins as (unreliable coins) and don't have them in the main API, adding them through JSON like WTM would be good, as long as the unlimited queries is preserved through AM.

Cause not having these unreliable coins due to low volume kind of defeats the purpose of speculative mining. Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Patrik,

An update:

Just confirming this is causing slight problem due to the "live" exclusion of low 24h volume coins.

Was just auto profit mining FLM in the profit switching round and suddenly FLM ends up in -x.xxxxx profitability (-x.xxxxx being calculated electricity cost of the profit profile) and disappeared from coins library...mid-round.

so essentially, first minute a coin could be active, and next minute it could be gone from coin db and therefore, profit switching calculations.

I've been in contact with the admin of coincalculators about this and I hope we can find a solution that would include all coins in the main API response.

[patrike]

Can you add in "groups" some configurable "delay" between starting group miners ?
I have 3x 2.000w rigs and it would be great (for my electric grid) to be eable to start them with like 3-5 sec delay between them.
It "blinks the lights" when 6.000w starts at same time

Good point. It might be possible to do something with the C# scripting feature in Awesome Miner, where you would select a number of miners and execute a custom script, then the script would send the start command to the miners with a few seconds delay.

Hi,

After applying fan fix firmware, awesomeminer doesn't show the temperature anymore for B3 miners.

https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004733393-B3-Firmware-Upgrade-Instructions

Thank you

From what I noticed a few days ago, the latest B3 firmware changed these miners from telling they are "Antminer B3" to only say "Antminer" and I think this is a bug in the firmware.

The latest development version (v.5.0.4) included a adjustment to this, so it should show the correct temperature readings again.

I was surprised to switch to X13 on GPUs (and CPU) 
And I just found this :

https://twitter.com/_zpool_/status/1000484163672248321

If you have zpool enabled in your profit switching change the profit factor of online service for X13. Apply your current profit factor divided by 1000

I will adjust to this change in the next release.

This is an exception in the coin updater so it needs to be invetigated from that point of view.

Hi this is my first post here and may have been answered but after a lot of searching I can’t find the answer I’m looking for, I can edit my json file for xmrig for a managed miner to get the best from my 1060s for the cryptonight algos, but is there a way to edit it for profit manager miner? It always seems to revert back 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi and welcome!
For the XMRig mining software, Awesome Miner is not generating a configuration file. All configuration is made via command line. For some other mining software a configuration file is generated (for example SRBMiner, sgminer, Excavator), but not for XMRig.

Have you specific a configuration file to use via the command line?

[patrike]
