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

[slysir]

On a few of my miners (2 out of 11)  the NVidia drivers version shown in the Summary tab is not showing the most recent installed version.

I have installed NVidia version 416.34 as reported in Device Manager and by MSI Afterburner but the Summary tab shows older versions.

Awesome Miner is reading the version numbers from the Registry:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

Can you see if there are multiple entries here with different version numbers? Awesome Miner might pick the first one.

First entry is 0000 - Intel Driver
2nd entry 0001 is correct - Nvidia DriverVersion 25.21.14.1634
last entry 0005 is what is shown in Summary - 23.21.13.91.24

In my second case AM picks the first entry from 0000, but the correct entry is from entry 0004.

Thanks for sharing the details. I assume that both 0001 and 0005 had a property called "ProviderName" set to nvidia in this case. What I will do for the next version is to look not only for one entry saying "nvidia", but actually selecting the one with the highest version number - assuming this is the correct one.

Yes both had "ProviderName"  NVIDIA

Also note "DriverDate" 10-10-2018 for correct entry   25.21.14.1634 and 3-15-2018 for 23.21.13.91.24

Hi Patrike,

i think there's a big problem with PHI2 algo, profit switching doesn't work,
and "phi2 pool Block Masters" there's on tab "Online Services", but
there isn't in "View Detailts - Profit Switching".

P.S. I'm using Teamredminer!

Bye

Awesome Miner is automatically showing all new algorithms on the Online Services tab, but doesn't automatically add it as a pool to the profit switcher (see Options dialog, Online Services) until I include it in an update.

This implementation will soon change where Awesome Miner automatically will make new pools (from the predefined yiimp-based pools) available without having to update to a later version.

Edit: I just checked and BlockMasters Phi2 should be in the list already. Is Phi2 selected in the Profit Profile you are using? Do you have any mining software that supports Phi2 enabled in the Profit Profile?

Hi Patrike,

i don't know why sometimes the profit switching doesn't work, but if i restart the miner, AwesomeMiner choose the right algo/coin to mine, i have only problem with phi2 algo.

Thanks

I wonder if this could related to the Threshold setting not working as it should. Your 5% limit should have been passed in this case and a pool change should have been made. Do you get the same issue if you disable the Threshold feature?

Next time this happens, could you please send me your log file by mail and let me know the time of the issue - together with a good screenshot like the one your provided here? Thanks!

Thanks - I will include the latest T-rex, CryptoDredge and Z-enemy in a development release that will be made available later today or tomorrow.

What is good here is that the T-rex releases are now published on Github, making it easier for everyone to point to the latest versions.

I think Coincalculators and WhatToMine recently updated this so it should have been updated automatically in Awesome Miner as well.

Hello @patrike, only as a reminder

For when Shit to mine as another coin supplier.

You will incorporate the possibility of choosing Exchange in the currencies. This I mean the exchanges that gives us for example Coincalculator. For me this is quite important, undermine the real price of where I'm going to sell.

I believe fervently, that a logical and big step would be for AM to get the data the same pages as always including Shit to mine, but then the prices get them separately through the APIS, just as AW CU does. In this way the data provider of currency will be the same, we can always choose the exchange. I do not say that it is easy or quick to do, but this would be a totally logical feature and that does not have the other programs. Apart it is very useful for the miner.

Another question Which is better for WTM to give an example. That thousands of computers with AM ask for data every few minutes, saturating their servers, that you get the data once per minute and provide it to us, obviously I suppose with the monthly subscription. Whenever it is mentioned that the currency is provided by WTM there will be no problem. Have you thought about it in this way to WTM and other coin providers ?, They will save on bandwidth and CPU of their servers, and you would give us a faster and closer value, and also complement their payment services.

This is like the subject of more detailed statistics. The day that you add in your payment services, price data every minute and much more complete statistics, then, me and thousands of other people, we will have to subscribe to your monthly payment services, I sincerely love it, and I think that It is a good for all, better data, prices and statistics, I therefore if I pay.

I am aware that I am asking for things that are a little bit outdated and that I have to adjust a lot of code and contact to negotiate with the data providers. But really those possible new features would make a huge difference for good in the use of the program and could distance even more from the competition

@patrike - Please check Sia coin. Its getting $0 value from whattomine. The algo being reported is "Sia" from whattomine now.

So i am a satisfied user of awesome miner, last night i wanted to purchase another license since i loaded more miners , and then i found out that bitcoin payment is no longer an option!.

it is a little strange here, Awesome MINER does not accept crypto for payment ! and we are still waiting for mass adoption  

Thanks for your nice feedback.

Bitcoin payments was supported in the past, but had to be discontinued because there are unfortunately no good payment solutions out there for Bitcoin that automatically takes care of all VAT complexity in EU. I'm constantly pushing my current payment provider, Fastspring, to add Bitcoin support because they had it on their agenda earlier. I've also looked at a number of different providers that do support Bitcoin, but none of them are good enough or even understand what companies in EU requires in terms of VAT features to not have to do manual bookkeeping of every single transaction.

It's of course a bit embarrassing to do not a good solution for Bitcoin payments but I do hope to be able to support it in the future again.

thanks for your reply, i guessed that would by the reason, but don't you think supporting bitcoin deserves a bit of a sacrifice? i know it would be a lot of frustrations to keep a manual record book/sheet but again to miners like me " where CC/PP" is NOT  an option for me it sucks !! i will stick to some free monitoring program which is not even 10% as good as yours to be honest, until i figure out a way of how to anonymously obtian some VCC to make the purchase.

Good luck bro.

I've been in contact with the ShitToMine about the API, but I don't know what it will look like yet. Once it's made available I will of course consider making similar exchange-configuration as for CoinCalculators.

If I could decide myself how the coin statistics would be downloaded to Awesome Miner, I would like to have it centralized via the Awesome Miner cloud. As we discussed earlier the main issue here is that I don't own the data and I will have to discuss with the admin of these coin stats if it would be acceptable.

There will be some improvements to the mining statistics in Awesome Miner during the next few weeks.

Thanks for sharing the logs. I've implemented a correction for this scenario with TeamRedMiner.

Awesome Miner Version 5.7.6 ( Development preview of 5.8 )
 
  - Block Explorer configuration for wallet balance to allow balance unit of 1E-7 and 1E-24 to support a wider range of number formats
  

Thanks for update Patrike. But i think there's still something wrong with balance. For BCD, i set unit of 1E-7. When clicking on test button, i get the correct amount. But in balance tab, amount still appear with a unit of 1E-8.
Can you look at this ?
