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

[bensam1231]

Another request for troubleshooting.

When a miner goes offline, instead of changing the status to miner offline, please turn the entire row red so it maintains the last stats for that miner before it went offline. That is very helpful for seeing the miners last state before it went wrong. Important for temperatures or other pieces of information that could be used for diagnostics.

Thanks.

Another thought on this - today Awesome Miner creates a notification for you when the mining software is crashing. You will see mining software, algorithm and pool information in this message. Maybe it would make sense to include some temperature information and possibly more here? That would make it possible to go back and look at previous crashes to find any pattern related to temperature for example.

That would work, could just bump the information to notifications instead. Another informational addition that is currently missing is IP address under summary (if you setup based on hostname, IP address is missing).


Another request for helpful debugs, in addition to what I suggested earlier with the pause on error and hold instead of reset and close the window. Please consider adding the ability to display help for a miner. So if you lets say right click > help, AM will launch the miner with /? -h or -help or maybe some other help command to display command line switches then pause the window. This would help for configuration and troubleshooting instead of having to dig through miners and making a basic configuration to find command line switches.

Also when you add something to properties > command line and AM already automatically already adds the switch, have the manual input override whatever AM is doing. This is extremely helpful as sometimes you add commands to the command line and it's difficult to dig out where they are in the program, they need to be tweaked slightly, or need to be tweaked on a miner per miner basis instead of globally. Either way if you manually type something in, it should be what AM uses.

Awesome Miner version 6.6.5

 Integration
  - Support for the new Nicehash mining platform. To change to the new platform, go to the Options dialog, Profit switching section and enable 'Use new Nicehash platform'. See the Nicehash web site for more details about how to sign up on the new platform.

Seems the new nicehash stuff is working ok. But it doesn't yet seem to have the profit as the old one.

Would it be possible to have the old and new nicehash as two different pools/providers? Then AM could
switch to the NH pool which is more profitable. You could label it NH and New NH. (And then just remove (old) NH when it closes)

This would be great.

Thanks for the suggestion - I will have to explore that a bit more. The upgrade scenarios for users not following the recent Nicehash changes may be more difficult with two different Nicehash entries.

is there a way to fix how SWAP does not show the correct earnings for c29s ?

it shows 0 no matter what pool i try

It looks like it worked fine when CoinCalculators.io was selected but not with WhatToMine. I will have to make a manual adjustment for this coin because the stat providers do something magic to the numbers that I'm not aware of. I will adjust this in the next release.

thank you sir

Patrike, I talked to NH. They said they are not supporting MTP right now with the new platform because it is too unstable, but they will consider it in the future. Seems like it never goes to MTP lately anyways, beam, grin, ect. are more profitable. But it would be nice to be in the rotation.

MTP will stay on the old NH platform. If somehow possible Patrik, add both platforms to the switcher. I think we will see a lot of different prices in the next weeks as long as they work with both platforms.

Agreed, if you could have two nicehash profit switching spots, one you put in your old addy and the other your new addy and it treats them as two seperate pools. Of course you would have to re-benchmark everything so it doesn't get screwed up.

Hey Patrik,

just did a quick test with the new NH switching. Seems to work perfectly now. THANKS! Great job!

Small bug for TeamRedMiner. The new C31 algo command have to be cuckatoo31_grin, not just cuckatoo31 

[supersonic]

How do i set power draw on different asic models of the same algoritm? For example S9, S11, S17?

Thanks. I've pushed a new software definition update for this.

Please use the concept of Profit Profiles, configurable in the Options dialog, Profit Profile section. You can define one Profit Profile for S9, another one for S11 and so on. In the profile you will find a list of all algorithms, including SHA-256 where you can enter your power usage.

In the Properties of an External Miner for your S9 miners, you can change the Profit Profile to point to the profile you created for S9.

Thanks, that worked just fine for me.

Hello,
I'm trying to set up balance for aeternity coin. I tried using those explorers : https://explorer.aepps.com/  and https://www.aeknow.org/
But i can't find a way to get balance from those, even if balance is displayed in result.
Could someone give me some help on this ?

I had a look at https://explorer.aepps.com and used the Network tab in Chrome to find out that it made API calls on this format:
https://roma-net.mdw.aepps.com/v2/accounts/[address]

Although you could add this one in Awesome Miner, it returns the balance value that is 10^18 times higher than you expect. I will have to add a new balance unit to handle that scenario.

How do I stop AM from creating a default log file for Claymore Eth miner? I have nothing in the command line but the mine starts with a AM BAT file having a preconfigured logfile to console_output.txt. It gets overwritten each restart no matter what I put in for other options. Even if I put in my own logfile name/path, it is ignored. This makes it impossible to debug issues since the logfiles are never kept.

EDIT: Ok, I finally found the keep console output logs checkbox. Now, how can the console logs be STOPPED so the default logfile output can work again?

The log output is used for Claymore miner in order to get the console output when running with administrator permissions.

Please go to the Options dialog, Mining Settings section, and enable "Keep a backup of previous console output log files". When this one is enabled you will see that the previous log files ared saved as different file names, making it possible to review older log files.
