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

[baf28]

BTG coin all pool and all share REJECT.

I manually added the parameters to the pool: --algo 144_5 --pers BgoldPoW
After that everything worked perfectly.
Please, please correct the settings of the BTG Minging.

Well thank you.

Today BTG disappeared from Awesome Miner
On whattomine and coincalculators, he switched from Zhash to EquihashBTG and disappeared from Awesome Miner
How to return the BTG? or when will he return?

These coins that are forking are often a bit unstable and drop out of the lists from WhatToMine.com and Coinstatistics. You should be able to add the following link to the Options dialog, Statistics section, as a WhatToMine JSON URL:
https://whattomine.com/coins/214.json

I will also update the algorithm mapping for Coincalculators in the next release of Awesome Miner to align with these changes.

thank you so much

Hi Patrike. Looks like your advice helped with my issue with AM forgetting the locations of my custom miners. The file location was marked as read only in windows. I changed it but it kept changing back. I had to use a tutorial I googled to get the changes to stick, apparently some windows update screwed up windows for everyone it installed for. I always disable updates, but I do let it run once on a new install, and I guess that's what happened. Anyways, I had a good idea, not sure, but it might be an easy one. So about the field that you created in online services that keeps track of pool performance, is it possible for it to show numbers above 100%? That could make it more accurate. Thanks for all your help, and for creating a superb program!

Thanks for your feedback. 100% is the maximum, as the pools typically not perform better than the predictions, it's more the other way around.

[patrike]

Hi Patrike,

I have created 2 rules for my managed miner

1 each day at 11pm run managed template (to change to a custom miner and custom pool only comand line, no api)
2 each day at 8 am return again to managed miner, but the only way to make it work again is stopping the miner and manually (contextual menu "convert to managed miner")

Is there any other way to by time trigger switching between managed tamplate and managed miner profile?

Thanks

There are currently no rule actions for converting between Managed Miner and Managed Profit Miner. I will note your request for this and it should be easy to implement.

This will be awesome for my miner  , thanks in advance Patrike, meanwhile is there any command or c#script action that could i use?

This is not supported via the scripting either.

[patrike]

Can you add support for Merit (MRT) miner?

It looks like this one is based on Cpuminer-opt, is that correct? If that's the case you should be able to select Cpuminer-opt as mining software and manually point it to use the Merit Miner executable instead.

[patrike]

Hi Patrik,

since we have updated AM to Version 5.2.5, we have the issue, that many of our Antminer L3+ cannot be controlled through API commands (and so the Profit-Switching is not working anymore) the miner shows API Access: Privileged in the Summary Tab - but cannot be for example restarted through AM?!
we tried also to Configure API access through the AM-Tools - the program returns OK - but nothing changes...

do you have an idea?!

BR Ralf

Hi Ralf,

If you select a miner, is it that toolbar buttons like Restart and similar is disabled? That can happen in two scenarios:

1) The miner is Restricted API mode. You have however already confirmed that it's Privileged API.

2) Awesome Miner is busy sending other commands to this miner. It can be that you have defined a rule that constantly sends commands to this miner. You can typically detect this by looking in the Awesome Miner log file (toolbar: Tools -> Log File), where you will fine entries saying "Rule execute" and possible additional information about what commands that are being sent to the miners.

Hi Patrik,

thank you very much!! it was a rule - actually i tried to resolve a problem with Antminer A3-Miners - they go offline sometimes (maybe all 2 to 3 days once) and when i reboot them from the browser - or when i go to tools-antminer and choose configure api access again - the miner reboots and afterwards working again...
i tried to make a rule, where i go through API-Command restart (*) - would actually working - but i don't find the right event to trigger the rule?! do you have a suggestion??

BR Ralf

The Miner Command can send a reboot command to the mining process, but based on your description it sounds like it's really a reboot you want. Use the "SSH Command" action and specify Reboot.
You can use the predefined rule called "Offline Detection" and define an action to reboot.

Hi Patrik,

the rule is not working - it is still sending an email when the miner goes offline but the reboot don't work. i cannot reboot the mainer at the main-tab either - the only way is to configure API access throgh the Tools-Tab-Antminer Function - then the miner reboots and work again?!

BR Ralf

For the reboot rule that doesn't execute: Please verify that the correct SSH password is used for the rule. The default SSH credentials are root / admin, and this is not the same as to the Antminer web interface. You can open the Awesome Miner log file (toolbar: Tools -> Log File) and search for "SSH Logging in". It might be that the Antminer is responding with "A supplied password or user name is incorrect".

[patrike]

Hi there,

i have a problem with profit-switching (asic)
if i view details and activate the Profit switching Tab - on this Tab AM shows me a negative Profit per day (and so never switch to that pool)
but if i manualy prioritize this pool (mining-dutch.nl) AM shows me a positive profit - i tried to raise the Profit factor in Pool Properties to 100 - but nothing changes?!

somebody an idea?

BR Ralf

Are you running Awesome Miner version 5.1? The View details dialog is based on the hashrates configured in your profit profile - and this hashrate is listed in the same table. The miner list uses the actual hashrate and the first value is the revenue, not profit.

Hi Patrik,

i am using Version 5.3. and the hashrate in the configured profile is about the same than the real hashrate. yes - the revenue and the profit are very positive if i manualy prioritize the pool - but in the view details the profit per day is way negative?!

BR Ralf

Hi Ralf,
I think I need to see some screenshots on this scenario, to get the complete picture of what View Details are showing compared to the miners list. Can you please send me by e-mail? Thanks!

I use Claymore Dual GPU Miner 11.8. In the new Awesome Miner 5.3 version parameters of tuning of video cards from Device Profiles are not inserted into command line arguments of the Claymore Miner program any more!!!!  Because of it video cards overheat, lose productivity and glitch. 

Rollback on Awesome Miner and Awesome Miner Remote Agent to version 5.2.2 solves a problem.

Please, correct it!

[patrike]

Awesome Miner version 5.3.1

- User defined Managed Software can be configured for automatic download
- Improved display of mining software in the Edit Profit Profile dialog
- Adjustment to the hash rate unit reported by iBeLink DSM6T ASIC miner
- Updated list of algorithms for predefined pools
- Added mining software: JCE CPU Miner
- Excavator 1.5 supported. This mining softare only works with the Nicehash pools.
- Prevent too frequent API calls to Coinwarz
- Correction to sorting in Options dialog, Managed Hosts section
- Minor corrections

Hi.

I tried to reproduce the issue by defining a Device Profile where I set "Max Fan Speed" to 66. I referenced this device profile from a Managed Miner that is based on Claymore Ethereum. When I start the mining software, I do see that "-fanmax 66" is being added to the command line.

Is there a specific property from the device profile that isn't passed correctly? Are you running with a Managed Miner or Managed Profit Miner? Please let me know as it might be of help in trying to find the specific issue you run into.

patrike,

Hello! New user / "Premium Edition" licensee.

I'm managing Z9s.

I've added the Z9s, set the default pools, set up API access, enabled auto-detect of ant miners...

The basic monitoring is working, however I'm unable to switch pools. When I try to switch pools by selecting a miner, right clicking, and choosing the new pool in the list, the miner goes offline as it appears to be reconfiguring, but it comes back up with whatever the first pool is every time.

If I manually send a "switchpool" command to the miners, it switches immediately without going offline and AwesomeMiner seems to show the change quickly.

I assume I'm missing something configuration wise for being able to switch it from awesome miner itself (not worried about profit switching yet, just want to get the basic functionalities going). This is with version 5.3.

So, 2 questions:

1) If "switchpool" works when I send it manually, what else is required on the Z9 configuration beyond (A) enabling API access, (B) configuring pools under Options->Pools [not pool groups], (C) Under Antminer->Default Pools, configuring the pools from B in the menu, and then (D) trying to manually change the running pool on each Z9 (or the group of, but still), (E) setting each miner for equihash algorithm and cgminer compatible

2) In the log file, there is an error I am not sure how to track down that may be related:

Here is a snippet:

Ok.. ever since I used the free version of awesome miner (now on enterprise version ), Ive always wondered one thing.... Why is not ALL of the coin information on ALL coins entered and automatically updated? I mean, lets get honest, to maximize profits, a user would have to fill out ALL of the stats for all of the coins, and even find the pool with highest hash rates. This would take WEEKS.  Im SURE this could be done automatically with awesome miner.  I know there is a free plugin for awesome miner, but as its free, its very quirky, and even then, leaves tons of coins without data. Can someone please explain?

Vegas

[tf2addict]

Could you please change the "update remote" right-click option to be available on the group level at all times?  Would be much more convenient than having to update each miner individually.  Right now it appears to be available only if all miners are enabled and out of date.  If even one miner is disabled or offline the option is not available.

[wildzer0]

Awesome Miner version 5.3.1
- Excavator 1.5 supported. This mining softare only works with the Nicehash pools.

I think it would be better to make separate entries for Excavator 1.4 and 1.5 (and remove the old excavator). Version 1.4 works fine with other pools and is the fastest software for some algorithms. Version 1.5 could then be Nicehash only.

Hi PAtrike I wanted to call attention to a known problem that the weeks go by and there is no solution.

MSI REMOTE, the program is not yours is from a third party, but it is not going well. In the configuration of AW you have to put the exact path where you will be in all the machines, that is, the same folder. Through another user I commented much higher, that sometimes it goes crazy and when the remote starts it closes, and the only way to fix it is to change the folder in the AW configuration, then change it in all the rigs and also change the rule of the programmer of tasks of each rig so that it starts well.

Well, this is happening to me at least once a week. If I take out a rig and change a card, it does not work anymore. Sometimes even without changing anything, just a restart, since it does not load at the beginning.

I have the version to be able to handle the OC, and I see myself many times leaving an Aftherburner in a fixed OC, because I do not feel like doing all that work.

Please have to find a more RELIABLE solution, this is now a patch that gives a lot of work at times. I can not imagine who has 10, 20, 30 rigs each time they fail and have to change the remote in ALL rigs and the rules of the task scheduler.

I do not ask you, mada, I only remind you that this mistake is and it drives me crazy. And that the fault is of the remote server, but it is in your hand to choose another software or develop one of its own that communicates afther burner (or other software) with the central machine, and it is not being deconfigured every few days.

Or you can tell us a faster real solution for when a computer falsely loads the Remote Server, so it appears in the notification box but when you put the mouse on it, it disappears. You have to give us a solution, because it is very annoying, and besides, not managing the OC is a waste of money and I pay more for having that control.

This is not a suggestion of new functions, nor do I ask the moon, I only ask you that what works is fine, and more now in summer that many of us have to change to softer OC in all the protocols.

Now I have a problem with another one of the failures of the program, which has already happened to me several times and I never find a solution.

In this case it is the RIG5, I choose a Neoscrypt coin as Zcore, I teach you in the video that NEoscrypt does with Klaust since basically it is the only good miner of neo, when there are hundreds of coins for this something.

And when I launch it fails, it refers to Neo, to Klaust and I do not know why it also refers to BSD in PHI. In the RIG5 team, Klaust really opens but fails. Now I leave you under the diagnosis. When this happens, it is difficult to fix, and I do not feel like formatting the computer again.

In the rest of RIGS with Neoscrypt and Klaust I have no problems. Other times it has been another RIG and another Something, but sometimes it crosses the information of two coins at a time and fails. because it is clear that what I have chosen from Zcore currency, and I show you the miner and everything.

Let's see if you can dedicate a little time to solve these problems because they become very annoying and they particularly make me lose a lot of time and I only have 5 rigs

Unexpected exit of mining software. Possible cause: Incorrect configuration
Diagnostics completed


and to clarify that I have it right, I'm going to mine it with another RIG and I show you the Zcore configuration, or any NEO currency, so you can see that it's a rare failure, in the same diagnosis there are weird things. I am losing precious time lately with so many failures.

You must find the fault, because this is very sporadic. will see in the video, the same currency in another rig without problems, in rig5, failure. And klaust is a miner by default. I'm going to have to add it separately as mine to try to fix this.

Between the problems with the OC and this, they make me waste a lot of time and therefore money. It seems that I am the only one who finds mistakes or mistakes.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qvynqh58j6y50v5/IMG_2290.MOV?dl=0

[trucobit]

Amazing. While Klaust works well in rig1,2,3 and 4, in addition to being a miner by default. As I have already shown, in the rig5 no.

I have downloaded the Klaust from the same url that you have in Kalust, I have added it to the Rig5 as a miner managed by me, and that works perfectly.

I have not changed anything else, neither oc, nor intensity nor anything. All the same, I only added it separately, and while he brings AW to work with 4 rigs, he does not do it with the fifth one. And this happens to me relatively often sometimes.

You have already seen in the videos when it fails, call Klaust as a miner but at the same time call a coin that is not. I have put FTC to mine in two miners, in one goes, and in another it does not go.

When this happens several times, it is no longer a matter of something that the client has done, it happens sometimes and needs to be revised.

1. There a way to backup all the custom info we have inputed into the software for re installation purposes?

2. Do you think having mining for "X amount of time each pool" will be in this programs future?

3. Is there anyway to change the gray text for the time active under the hash rate from gray to a more legible color? Or at least be able to customize it. When there is an update needed the red text is fantastic and very clear to read. I kinda dont like updating it because it makes it so much easier to read. Though I have old eyes.

4. Do you think "Dark Mode" will be in this programs future?

[trucobit]

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2765610.0
a strange fork of hsrminer, compatible with api ccminer and with very good hash rate. A very good alternative to Klaust for Neoscrypt, right now I put it on all my machines

It's getting about 20% more than Klaust, and 100% compatible CCminer api, it's fabulous.
