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

[O-Coin]

NATIVE OverClocking NVIDIA
Driver Version 416.34

Anyone notice that while using this feature the gpu core will be throttled well before the fans move to 100%.
Example

Set Temp limit to 65c fan speed auto.
AM will maintain that temp.
Gpu Fan will speed will not go up to 100% because temp is maintained due to throttling Core.

If I move fan speed to 100% remove auto fan Gpu core goes back up and drastically improves hash rate. (20%-30% improvement)

Maybe Im missing something please let me know if I am.

AMD clocking is great because it has the fan target temp and temp Limit

Hi folks. Does anyone know why Coin to Mine Today stats are always wrong? why are they listed as stat providers?

[dallen9998]

I’m curious if anyone has gotten the Remote Agent to run on an Ubuntu 18.04 server (and actually benchmark and mine).  I’d like to remove complexity :cough Windows: from my rigs and just have them headlessly run managed by a main PC.  I’ve been able to build up a server with NVIDIA Drivers and get it capable of mining, but attempting to benchmark or manage the system remotely has failed.  If you have gotten one up, what exactly did you do to get the agent running?  Also, is there any functionality I lose running on Linux over Windows?

Hello @patrike we can someday choose the sale or purchase price in CTM, as we do with CC. It could be the same option for both providers.

If I understood your question correctly - this is already supported.

You have two settings in the Options dialog, Statistics Providers section for this:
1) "CoinCalculators exchange rate"
2) "CoinToMine exchange rate"

Both these are similar where you can select between Default, Highest Bid and Lowest Ask.

Please let me know if this was what you were looking for.

Certainly I did not remember, the problem that does not always do well, but that is alien to AM is the quality of data.

Hi folks. Does anyone know why Coin to Mine Today stats are always wrong? why are they listed as stat providers?

To see the data are good by half, but they have many currencies. They usually fail in the basic data, difficulty, reward, hashnet. In those 3 CTM data is harmful, but it is good in prices and exchanges. Acquire the prices faster.

The only advice I can give you is to do benchamrk. I mean a coin, with a pool, 2 -4 hours of testing. Take several samples of the currencies that average AM, I do it with scheduled captures. And after 2 hours you compare the obtained, with the estimated that would gain in 2 hours (24 hours divided by 12 = 2 hours) and with these two data and a rule of 3, you get the profit. I benchmark all currencies, regardless of the provider. In that I have seen that GRIN29 with CTM the profit should be 2.1, 210% more than what it predicts, while CC is 0.95.

It is a complaint that I also have, and the only solution is to test the coins to find out their real profit.

Hey Patrik,

since the native overclocking running smooth, is it possible to add a rule to check clock, memory (and maybe voltage, fans too)? Dunno how it can be done for rigs with multiple GPU's, maybe something like a parameter for checking GPU 1, GPU 2, ... Or maybe you have a better idea

Ah and edit: I just want you to remember for a rule to check the wattage of a rig. (If possible, maybe also with selectable GPU 1, GPU 2, ....).

Do you get any specific error message if you for example start the mining software with the Diagnostics button?

There are a few features not available on Linux, but mainly the list of mining software supported for auto-download is fewer. For details, please see:

Hi

Anyone know what error and how to fix this ?

 #=ziMuZGlPULVi4Go07tvIqrH2bbwBj5Uei$5V1tzQ7$1MK: NvException: NVAPI_NVIDIA_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND was thrown

This is an error message from the nVidia drivers that some operation Awesome Miner requested didn't work. When do you run into this problem, and what is the end result (missing GPU, clocking not possible to set, ...)? Is this GPU working with any mining software?

Hi patrike
thanks for replied,

the error just came up from last week, not sure what cause it, when ever the problem came any mining software wont work (using Profit switching) i just reboot to fixed the problem, but after sometime around 4 to 6 hrs the problem came again, this happened only from 1 GPU (have 6x1070) others still running but when change Algo/mining software the miner will stop.
System still recognize all GPU so no report of missing GPU
Tried to fresh install latest driver with DDU but the problem still coming

It sounds like it's not only Awesome Miner that has the problem of reading information from the GPU, but also the mining software are unable to function properly.

I don't think there is anything specific you can do from an Awesome Miner point of view so I would recommend removing one of the GPU's from the computer to see if it's possible to identify if there are some hardware issues with one of the cards (or riser).

Your request about power usage is noted and there will be support for this later on. For Clock and Memory, is it mainly to check that the clocking settings are kept at the configured level, to detect if anything went wrong?

There is already a trigger for Fan Speed already.

[patrike]

When will you add Antminer T15 and S15 so that they are properly displayed?

Antminer T15 and S15 are already supported and it should be displayed correctly. Can you please share more details on what isn't displayed correctly?

Antminer T15/S15 is currently only supported in Restricted mode, as there are no known way of connecting to these miners over SSH to enable the Privileged mode.

Hi folks. Does anyone know why Coin to Mine Today stats are always wrong? why are they listed as stat providers?

Awesome Miner includes support for the coin statistics providers that are popular and requested by the user community. There are no single provider that is perfect and contains all coins and no errors.

For this reason, Awesome Miner makes it configurable which providers you want to use and not use. You can also change the priority of the providers to put those you like the most on top.

Yes, its to check if the clocks are in range and everything is fine. Because sometimes the clocks (over or under clocked) will be resetted, which can reduce the profit or even worse, makes the rig instable.

Dunno how this is easier to program for you, but Iam sure you will make it great

One idea could be this:
As a range, like: If clock is <, <=, =, >=, > "1800" with +/- "10%", then trigger this xyz action...
Or as numbers: If clock is <, <=, =, >=, > "1600" to "1800", then xyz.

Another more automated idea could be: You check the actually clock/memory and compare it with the given clocking profile. And then check as range or numbers like above.

Hi, Patrick. It seems that the www.coincalculators.io API signals have changed, all the numbers are not correct. Current Revenue (BTC / day) instead of USD

[MoparMiningLLC]

since last update my miners keep losing API access, when I check the pools directly, the miners are working just that AM cannot see them so I have to reboot them in order for AM to see them. Had this a dozen or so updates ago as well - hope it stops soon. its a pita to restart miners in order to see them in the AM cloud service.

[yrk1957]

@patrike - Can you please adjust how the rule buttons are clicked on the cloud UI, when using a touch device like an IPad? They don’t click always on touch and don’t give proper feedback, so it’s difficult to make out if they have been clicked.

I do not have that problem. Native OC is perfect for me.

I can't remove groups under my miners tab. Remove Group is grayed out for every group when I right click the name, even if it's empty with no miners assigned. I'm not trying to remove the default My Miners group, just others.

Screenshot:

Are you sure this isn't the "My Miners" group, but renamed and moved to the bottom?

For the "My Miners" group - Even if you remove all miners from it, rename it and make another group default - you will still be prevented from removing this group.

Is this the only empty group that cannot be removed?

Every group. Every group I try to remove has "Remove" grayed out.

All groups with miners will have "Remove" disabled. The only time a group with no miners have "Remove" disabled is if it's the "MyMiners" group - even if you renamed it.

Can you please try:
1) Move the miners from another group you have, for example "top 6-pck", to the group "not". Can you now remove the group "top 6-pck"? If that's the case, "not" was the renamed "MyMiners" group that cannot be removed
2) If the above failed, what happens if you create a new empty group, can you remove that one?

Ok, that worked thanks. That's very un-intuitive, maybe could use an improvement (or inform the user why remove is grayed out). Also, you can't drag and drop miners into an empty group. You have to manually change one miner's group by right clicking and assigning to a group, and then it will let you drop the others under it. That could also use improvement!

Probably not useful to very many people, but I've written an Ansible script I use to provision/reprovision my Linux mining boxes with AwesomeMiner

You can execute it with the command: ansible-playbook AM.yml -e "target_host=%YOUR_HOST_NAME%"

Code:

--- #Setup AwesomeMiner
- hosts: "{{ target_host }}"
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes
  tasks:

  - name: Run uninstaller
    shell: /root/awesomeminer-remoteagent/service-uninstall.sh

  - name: Cleanup Previous Installs
    shell: rm -rf /home/miner/awesome*

  - name: Download AM
    get_url:
      url: http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setup/awesomeminer-remoteagent.tar.xz
      dest: /home/miner

  - name: Extract AM Archive
    shell: tar xvJf /root/awesomeminer-remoteagent.tar.xz

  - name: Modify Service Script
    replace:
      path: /root/awesomeminer-remoteagent/awesome.service
      regexp: 'home\/user'
      replace: 'root'

  - name: Run install script
    shell: /root/awesomeminer-remoteagent/service-install.sh
    args:
      chdir: /root/awesomeminer-remoteagent/

  - name: Run start script
    service:
      name: awesome
      state: started
      enabled: yes

  - name: Sync the local filesystem
    shell: sync

Hi, Patrick. It seems that the www.coincalculators.io API signals have changed, all the numbers are not correct. Current Revenue (BTC / day) instead of USD

It's correct that there have been API changes and I've received information from the Coincalculators admin about the changes.

Right now you will run into problems if you use "CoinCalculators exchange rate" set to either Highest Bid or Lowest Ask, but from what I can see it should work better with Default.

I will adjust Awesome Miner to these changes.

Had this a dozen or so updates ago as well - hope it stops soon. its a pita to restart miners in order to see them in the AM cloud service.

In some cases, this can happen when Antminers mine on a specific pool. It may sound strange, but they can simply stop responding on the API port while they still are mining. Testing with another pool may help.
