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

[patrike]

Awesome Miner indicates it supports Innosilicon A8+ but no where can I find how to actually do that. Only instruction I've found is for A4, A4+ and A9 which one uses Telnet and the other SSH - No clue what applies if anything to the A8+. Downloaded SSH client Putty which also supports Telnet and not sure where to begin since nothing I do will hook up to the A8+, it keeps refusing connection other than a Browser.

Is Awesome Miner product support good? If I buy the Professional edition would I get help and not just a link to something that makes no sense to me with the information already available? Google, here and elsewhere so far I am unable to find a good instruction to hooking up the A8+ with Awesome Miner. It says it supports it but nowhere can I find out how.

Thanks for your question.

Although Awesome Miner can manage and monitor most ASIC miners on the market, the exact instructions for how to setup Privileged API access for each of these miners are not covered in the documentation. The most popular ASIC miners are described and those instructions are often similar on other models from the same vendor.

I do know based on feedback and data provided by other users that Innosilicon A8+ can run in Privileged API mode. I assume that you already added it to Awesome Miner, but it shows up as Restricted API access? Or did it actually refuse this connection as well?

For Innosilicon there have been two configuration concepts so far as you noticed, one based on Telnet and the other one based on SSH. The Innosilicon miners provides one of these, so it's safe to try both connection methods to see which one allows you to connect. Unfortunately I don't have any good suggestions how to proceed if both these connection methods would fail. Are both Telnet on port 8100 (this is not a default port and must be specified) and SSH on port 22 simply refusing the connection?

Customers of Awesome Miner do get product support. Although I answer questions here on the forum, e-mail is the official and prioritized support channel for customers with a license or subscription.

In case of questions for a specific ASIC miner where the Awesome Miner documentation isn't enough it's typically that we simply don't have the details on how to configure this specific ASIC miner. Many users make use of the community here where there are forum threads for most ASIC miners on the market, to share and learn from others how to approach a specific ASIC miner.

Thanks Patrike, My AntMiner Z11 hooks up perfectly and it has the Restricted Access (Free Addition). The A8+ after configuring Awesome Miner says API access denied. Since I also have GPU's (AMD and Nvidia) and Awesome Miner is frankly rather Awesome especially configuring the different type of Miners - I will be getting the Professional version which will tremendously simplify the different configurations. I will just take the A8+ issue up once I get the license, correspond via email and post back here. I am just a small time hobby miner which I've just find Awesome Miner in a league of it's own. Thanks

Thanks for the nice feedback - I'm glad you like the software. Just get back to me on the A8+ miners later on and we can try to figure out how to get that one going as well.

Hello, Patricke.

If you select "Network hash rate, block reward and block time" in the properties of the coin, then information from another formula will appear in the details window.
The data from the Coins window is correct.

SWAP
VDL
ANON
GENX

I will correct this in the next release - planned for tomorrow. Thanks for reporting it.

Hi does anyone know how to setup multiple consumption for SHA256 ?
I have S9, S11 and S15 some on LMP some on ULPM and every consumption is different but on SHA256 I can only set on consumption under algo options and that screws the main dashboard

You can create multiple Profit Profiles (Options dialog, Profit Profile section). One profile could be called S9 where you define the hashrate and power usage for SHA256 for this specific miner. Then you can have another profile for S11 and S15 as well if needed. You can also have multiple S9-profiles if needed, if you run them with very different power settings.

In the Properties of your External Miners, you can point to a specific Profit Profile to use. By default it's set to '(Default)' where it will load the settings in the Options dialog, Algorithm section, where you already made some changes.

In some cases the "Linear scaling" will help to reduce the number of profiles required for ASIC models that are simlar:

Awesome Miner version 6.3.4

 Features
  - Filtering of miner list to only show offline miners on the Miners tab. Available via the Find menu in the Windows application and also as a button in the new web interface.
  - The benchmark feature will save and display the mining software version and date of the most recent benchmark
 Integration
  - Updated block explorer for BTCZ
 Mining software
  - TT-Miner power usage supported via API - will require TT-Miner 2.2.3
  - Bminer 15.5.1
  - Nanominer 1.2.3
  - SrbMiner 1.8.6
  - Gminer 1.39
  - WildRig Miner 0.15.6
 Corrections
  - Correction to saving of power usage after benchmark
  - Correction to parameter names in the Phoenix Miner pool configuration file
  - Correction to how the configured calculation method for number of coins per day is applied
  - Correction to reboot of disconnected miners via the new web interface

Note: When the NetHash-formula is used for a coin and the profit switcher is calculating the profitability - there are still some room for improvements in scenarios where the total network hashrate is low. This is also a scenario where the calculated number of coins per day can be quite different for the NetHash-formula compared to the Difficulty-formula, simply because your own hashrate starts to impact the overall network hashrate.

Hello Awesomeminer,

Could you please add support for SlushPool in the pool balance ?

Thank you very much

Hey Patrik,

for MiniZ miner @ Nicehash 150.5. If I start mining, it will use "--pers auto". I think because it is setup in the Online Services -> Personalization string. So far so good. But this "auto" just produces masses of rejected shares, as I just talked with MiniZ. He said we should use "--pers Beam-PoW", so I edited it in the Online Services / Nicehash Personalization String. But if I start the MiniZ miner, it has still the "auto" string flag. This is the command line AM uses:

--par 150,5 -l stratum+tcp://beam.eu.nicehash.com:3370 -u xxxxxx.xxx -p x --pers auto --telemetry 0.0.0.0:4029

As a workaround I can set in the Profit Profile -> Additional command line arguments "--pers Beam-PoW" and it then use it correctly:

--pers Beam-PoW --par 150,5 -l stratum+tcp://beam.eu.nicehash.com:3370 -u xxxxxx.xxx -p x --telemetry 0.0.0.0:4029

Seems like AM ignores the string in Online Services or uses always the auto flag, can you check that please?

Hello. No changes. Does not work.

Is this for a coin where the network hashrate is a very small unit (kH/s or MH/s)? If that's the case it's a scenario I'm currently working on improving and it will be part of the next release.

I just tested the same, to edit Online Services, Nicehash Personalization string and set it to "Beam-PoW". When I start Miniz miner the next time it shows up with the following command line:
--pers Beam-PoW

Can you please go to the Options dialog, Managed Software section, and check the settings for Miniz Miner to make sure there are no "auto" flags here?

Hi Patrike,

Feature request...

Would it be possible to allow benchmarking multiple rigs simultaneously when using remote agent? I have two rigs with dissimilar equipment, requiring that they be individually benchmarked. I have a profit profile for each rig. I would like to be able to open multiple benchmarking dialogues at the same time, each one for a specific rig.

Thanks for your consideration,
...jim


Edit: Never mind. I finally figured out that one needs to select the miner one wants to benchmark before clicking the benchmark button.

Thanks,
...jim

Got the 6.3.3 and did now the 6.3.4 update. With that new version it works  Thanks for your prompt help!

I have no problem opening and running multiple benchmarking simultaneously (on Win10).
What kind of problem do you see/have?

hint: select miner1, click "benchmark". select miner2, click "benchmark", and so on.

Hi Patrike

Please add X16r algo (Ravencoin) on miningpoolhub to the online service, thanks a lot and keep your great work!!!!

Feature request:

Can you please add a Rules- Trigger for Miner power: watts

It is useful to take an Action like "Apply GPU clocking profile" to reduce/increase the power limit.

[trucobit]

There is a small problem with the speed of the fans in Nvida.

Create the rules that when it reaches, for example, 75 degrees, activate the fans to 75%, in fact I have a scale made from more to less, as if it were an MSI Aftherburner curve

But I have noticed that the system sometimes takes the temperature of one and other times of another. I have a rig that now reaches 84 degrees and the fans go to 90%, but suddenly the FANS go down to 75% because it takes the temperature of another card from the same rig.

You can fine tune this so that you only always consider the card with the highest temperature of each rig. It is useless to create temperature rules if sometimes the data is from one card and sometimes it is from another. You must always collect the data for the hottest card rule.

I am preparing the summer, improving extraction, improving card heatsinks and now I am facing this problem. A rig at 84 degrees is set to 90% and then drops to 75% and the card follows 90%, then changes to 90%, and quickly again to 75% without lowering the temperature of the hottest card.

Please Patrike that the rules always take the value of the hottest card or I will finish burning cards.

[trucobit]

At the moment this problem of the OC and temperatures is causing me great problems. there are already two RIGs, the rig of the RTX there is a card, which is more in the background that even reaches 87 and turn off the miner in security.

But I start observing the FAns in GPU, and I see that suddenly I'm at 84 and fans are lowered to 65% because it has picked up the temperature of another card, according to my rules at 84 degrees it would go to 90% fan, and repende is lowered to 65%, because that card reaches the maximum temperature of 87 and turns off the miner.

I hope you have a solution or I will have to drive MSI aftherburner again. But I really like this native solution. You should only take the value of the hottest card in the RIG and do not go changing card reading

At the same time I'm going to have to leave the fixed fans something I do not want, but of course it's a big mistake that I take the temperature data from different cards, so it can not be efficient.

Please, if you are not going to fix it, tell me already and I will change to the old system with Aftherburner or a fixed fan.
