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

[patrike]

Thanks for the feedback. Please note that before version 6.8.3 of Awesome Miner, the Mining Profile selection if made via Awesome Miner wasn't always correctly applied. If you use the latest Awesome Miner version or select the Mining Profile directly from the Antminer web interface it should work better.

The feedback I've received from other users is that they get to 14.7TH/s - 15.5TH/s on their S9 miners. In your case I assume your are looking for the lowest possible power usage and it might be that there are less room for improvements in that end.

When you use the Update firmware feature in Awesome Miner, it will do "Keep settings" as it's called in the web interface. Have you made a full reset of the settings when you are on the Bitmain firmware to make sure all custom properties in bmminer.conf are removed? Once your bmminer.conf is default the Bitmain firmware should perform exactly like before.

I'm using the latest version.

Regarding consumption you are right it appears that there is very little room for improvement (hot summer trying to wer the heat as much as possible)

I did without keep settings option but no luck .....

Thanks for the update. Do you measure the power usage at the wall?

For Bitmain firmware, Awesome Miner doesn't have any way to display the actual power usage - it's only based on what you have entered in your profiles in Awesome Miner. For the Awesome Miner Antminer firmware, the firmware can report a decent estimate of the actual power usage (if you have configured "Actual usage" in the Options dialog, Profitability section).

Yes the wall shows the same on both firmwares

All miners have the same profile set now, I'll SSH to clean the config file manually

ok it works now, thx for suggestion

we got problem with our S15's

thats what is AM showing - temps looks good

thats what shows when i click on miner

and thats data from status page
https://i.imgur.com/24Me4LL.png

and thats on all S15, reality is that temp is much higher and couple of them shut off due to overheat when i thought all was good

Would anyone know what is the API call to get an external wallet balance for the new Nicehash platform?

I've gone through their documentation and can't seem to find it. I'd like to use it in a script.

Much thanks,

The Chip Temperature should be higher than the PCB temperature and when looking at my S15 that's the case. I will have to investigate this a bit more.

Can you please let me know which firmware version you are running? Thanks!

Hi Jim,

I'm not sure if it's this one you are looking for, but maybe you could give it a try?

Hey patrike,

Currently, I am using the latest version of Awesomeminer, and I added ZelCash (2miners) to the pool list. But in the pool options, ZelCash is under Equihash 144.5 not 125.4, and as the result if I select Equihash 144.5 for this coin, Gminer doesn't run at all. And if I select unspecified Equihash 125.4, it doesn’t show the current profit in the dashboard. Please help

Please take a look:
https://imgur.com/a/sMl2EYj

When I look in my system, ZEL is listed as Equihash 125.4 - both in the Coins tab and in the coin list in the Pool Properties.

Do you have any custom setting for this coin? Please go to the Options dialog, Coins section to verify that you don't have ZEL as a user defined coin. Also go to the Options dialog, Statistics Provider section, click Configure for "Override coin algorithms" and make sure it isn't listed here.

Thanks. I have some mining rigs and ZelCash is listed under Equihash 144.5 in all them. I double checked those two sections that you mentioned, and both of them are empty. Please release a new update and get it fixed. Cheers

Try Options -> Statistic Providers -> Override coin algorithms: (Configure) -> Add

Coin Short Name: ZEL
Map to algorithm: Equihash 125,4

if you want quick fix straight away.

***
it really is probably duplicate entries from before and after fork that got things mixed up, if you look at Options -> Coins

Both in Visible and Hidden column, it's likely you have more than 1 ZEL added all up from those 2 columns if you have "Keep coins even when no longer listed by provider" checked in the Options -> Statistic Providers page

Personally I have 3 since ZEL forked to 144 then 125 from original Equihash whichever parameter that was I don't remember.

Yup, that's what I was looking for.

Interesting that it does not appear to be in their "official" api v2 documentation...

Hi,

I've recently bought Premium edition and i have rigs with 9 x Rx 580 8Gb and i can't overclock them,they are on ubuntu 16.04 need help.

Thx in advance,

Iv

[ivcelmik]

And if i apply any modified clocks the miner refuse to start after applying them

Thanks for your question.
If you start the mining software with the Diagnostics button in the toolbar, do you get any specific error message? Does this problem happen if you change the clocking settings in any direction - even if you underclock?

Thanks for the update.

Is my understanding correct that the mining software do start and continue to run, but it's never hashing and stays at 0MH/s all the time?
1) Do you run into this problem if you change the clocking back to default?
2) Do you get this problem if you underclock?
3) Is it only PhoenixMiner that experience these problems?
