any idea why I can't see my GPU stats ?

Reinstalled agent and miner still the same issue only on one miner

Are the GPU drivers the same? Can you please send me the Remote Agent log file for this system? It's especially during the startup of Remote Agent I would like to see what happens here. You will find the log file via the Remote Agent system tray icon. Thanks!

corrupted driver, had to DDU one of dll files was corrupted. All good now

Hi Patrike !

I have an issue with Bminer 12.2 and sparkpool with Grint

It works correctly with my bat file :

Code:

bminer.exe -uri cuckaroo29://myaddress@gmail.com%%2Frig_123@grin.sparkpool.com:6666 

But in AM I can't managed to get it working correctly.
This is the command sent.

Code:

bminer.exe  -uri cuckaroo29://myaddress@gmail.com%%2Frig_123:x@grin.sparkpool.com:6666 -watchdog=false -api=0.0.0.0:4028

And this is the result

Code:

> invalid value "cuckaroo29://myaddress@gmail.com%%2Frig_123:x@grin.sparkpool.com:6666" for flag -uri: parse cuckaroo29://myaddress@gmail.com%%2Frig_123:x@grin.sparkpool.com:6666: invalid URL escape "%%2"

Could you take a look at this ?
Thx !

Patrike,


Can you please clear up a few things that were included in a recent update 6.1.2.


How new is the asicfw.io site?  I ask because the forum is completely empty.

AsicFW somewhat lead us to believe that awesomeminer is their software, but "Intellbreeze Software AB" is not mentioned anywhere on their site. I.E. (Monitoring system is compatible with our firmware Awesomeminer.com)


Are you a part of asicfw?

Regarding the Beam profit calculation, I tried to set up a custom coin and the profit is off by like 800 times.  I've done this many times with other coins so I think I know what I'm doing.  For example, right now the difficulty is 73,000,000 (roughly), which is correct based on a 60 second block time, price is 81 cents, and my hash rate is 22 sols/s.  The resulting profit is $0.0022 per day, while it should be between $1.50 and $2.  Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?  Using Bminer 1.18.

There is another concept called "exponential factor" that can impact the coin calculations. Awesome Miner doesn't expose this in the user interface. Most coins use a factor of 0, 13 or 32, but there are exceptions.

The next release will have an adjustment for this for Beam. Can you please check if it resolves the calculation problem? Later on I will also make this exp. factor a configurable setting in the Coin Properties.

The new version seems to calculate Beam profit correctly.

Thanks!

Although Beam works fine now, since a few hours ago the Grin calculations are off again. I was just notified by one of the coin statistics provider about this change. I will need to adjust this in the next update.

Somehow i can't see anything except "mining" on gminer_1_20_minimal_windows64_1 which AM downloaded.
Mining Beam on Leafpool

I only see MINING, and no GPU temps, or speed or anything

Where i am wrong

Thanks

Can you share the API report (toolbar: Tools -> API Report) for then miner when it's running? The Diagnostics output for this miner can also be of interest.

Most likely something makes Gminer report empty API data here.

Thanks for the very detailed report. I think Awesome Miner is getting confused about '@' in both the mail address and before the server name.

Edit: What are this part "%%2" indicating? Having double % is not allowed in the URL and the reason it works from the batch-file is that %% is being translated into a single %. Can you please check this part?

Patrike,

Are you a part of asicfw?

Awesome Miner supports reading the Power Usage values in the AsicFW API output and uses that value for display from version 6.1.2. I've been in contact with the AsicFW team over the last two weeks to ensure this feature works well.

I'm running the company IntelliBreeze Software AB that is developing Awesome Miner and AsicFW is not part of this business.

I think that it's just a grammar thing with the statement you refer to.
"Monitoring system is compatible with our firmware Awesomeminer.com" should probably be interpreted:
"Monitoring system is compatible with our firmware: Awesomeminer.com", to indicate that Awesome Miner is compatible with their firmware. I don't think they intended to claim that Awesome Miner is their product.

Thank you for the clarification.

I do like the changes and adjustments they claim that you can make on various machines but will have to learn more about them before deploying their firmware. You and your product I know and trust.

Any way to stop awesome miner from creating firewall rules for every mining software?
I don't want everyone on my LAN to have access to the mining software on my miners.

Local connections usually work even if you don't allow the program, is there any particular reason for awesome miner to create firewall rules?

There are currently no setting to prevent this behavior in Awesome Miner.

Awesome Miner is registering the mining software as an allowed application. Mining software must be able to make outgoing pool connections and also open an API port where Awesome Miner connects for monitoring information. If an application isn't registered to the Windows firewall it may be blocked and Windows almost always shows a dialog where the user must accept the application.

If you try to start almost any mining software outside of Awesome Miner (a software that Awesome Miner didn't register already) you will see that Windows Defender Firewall will show a warning dialog - unless Defender is completely disabled.

In Windows Defender Firewall you also have a setting called "Block all incoming connections, including those in the list of allowed apps". That might be the one you are looking for in your specific scenario.

As for the inbound rules, I understand is good to have them to prevent the popups but there is no need to have them as "allow the connection" rules, because the monitoring connections are local we could have them as "block the connection" rules and the monitoring would still work correctly(as far as I have tested over the years) without allowing other LAN devices access to the mining software.

The "Block all incoming connections, including those in the list of allowed apps" might seem enough for most use cases but I have mining computers that serve other content so I need access to some of their ports.

Please consider adding an option so we can decide whether to create the rules as allow or block rules, thank you.

I see now  I was using LOL miner, for AMD, 0.7, and AM have 0.6 only. maybe this was problem.
And problem with Gminer on NV was i cant start mining, getting "connection error:end of file" in miner...

I tried a lot of miners and a both MAD and NV machines, and i dont know anymore what is working and what not

I know that LOL 0.7 for AMD works but not detects anything

With all due respect to Patrike, I ask you not to, AM is monitoring software.
And building a firewall into it will simply be a big mistake, because there will be a huge number of problems with permissions and restrictions in the rules

And what you ask for is done at the border router

Please consider adding an option so we can decide whether to create the rules as allow or block rules, thank you.

Can this be solved by using the setting to block all incoming connections, but then explicitly configure Windows Defender to open up a few ports that you need?

Even if you only monitor mining software locally, Windows will still complain and show the Blocked dialog when you launch the mining software unless it's an allowed application. This is the reason why Awesome Miner adds the mining software as allowed as it's very difficult to run mining operations without it.

It looks like this pool requires Gminer to connect with SSL - but I couldn't find that in the pool instructions. Please open the Managed Miner properties and go to the Command Line section, where you add:
--ssl 1
Another option is to add this command line to the Pool itself if you only mine it using Gminer.

[boki019]

Hey Patrike ,
--ssl 1  WORKED
I can see temps and power etc, but still can't  see profitability
All zeroes ....
THank You

There are currently two limitations with Beam mining

1) Once Beam is listed on one of the coin statistics sources with exchange rate and coin details, it will automatically show up in Awesome Miner with revenue information.

2) When using Gminer with Equihash 150,5 (Beam) - the number of accepted shares are always reported as zero from the mining software, while all other algorithms works fine.

[baf28]

You would not want to consider integration with MiningRigRenals on the same as with Nicehashe? It would be very cool, a complete package of all mining))).
