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

[narousberg]

Hi @patrike

Can you add a button to a GPU miner object like a "Ignore overclocking settings from profit profile"
That will be a very helpful if some GPU work wrong and must be maintained.
If i can central switch off a settings for a miner, I no need to change overclocking settings for each algo in profit profile.

Regards

hello patrike,

I want to suggest adding an option, that would allow to configure and use two profit switching intervals together, but with different switch thresholds.

the idea is..

• - to have a big default/normal switching interval (60+ minutes), with a low switching threshold (2..3 %) or without a threshold at all
• - to have a second (very) short switching interval (2..5 minutes for example), that will force the profit switch when profitability difference between the current pool and new best profit pool is high (15..20+ %),

then with default profit switching interval Awesome Miner won't switch from pool to pool too often, and miners will have enough time for their hashrate to be counted by pool.
 
but..

• - if the some pool profitability spikes and becomes at least 15..20% higher than current - it will take max 2..5 minutes (small interval duration) to perform the switch;
• - similarly, it would allow to quickly leave the current pool, if its profitability has suddenly dropped because of diff increase, etc..

what do you think about this?

thanks

@Patrike I have MicroBT Whatsminer M20S problem - when i try to change pools or restart miner it doesnt react. API access is privileged, ssh unlocked. AM is trying to remove pools and change to selected but fails to do so.

New SRBMiner : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5190081.0
for intergration

I will look into this one. Hopefully it's similar to the current SrbMiner.

One workaround for this scenario would be to define a new clocking profile (Options dialog, GPU Clocking Profile) where you only perform a single operation like Reset. You can then configure your Managed Profit Miner to use this specific clocking profile and it will no longer use the clocking settings from the Profit Profile.

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree that this could be a good improvement to the profit switching logic, with two levels of profit switching conditions. There will have to be some changes to support this, but I will for sure consider it as a future improvement.

@Patrike I have MicroBT Whatsminer M20S problem - when i try to change pools or restart miner it doesnt react. API access is privileged, ssh unlocked. AM is trying to remove pools and change to selected but fails to do so.

I was recently investigating M20s with another user. The M20 and M21 miners are restricting external applications from making any operations like restart and pool changes - even when they state they have privileged API access. This is a limitation Whatsminer built in to their firmware for security reasons. I've been in contact with Whatsminer for this and I also have other users that reached out to them.

It turns out that they do have another firmware in the pipeline where they do allow these kind of operations. One of my users recently got this firmware by contacting the Whatsminer product support, but it turned out to still have some limitation so they are waiting on Whatsminer for another update.

I don't have a more detailed answer to this right now, but as soon Whatsminer release a firmware update where they allow pool changes and similar operations over their API - it will work with Awesome Miner as well.

For nVidia RTX 2000-series, Awesome Miner is currently limited to displaying the fan speed in percent only. Fan RPM is not supported. I do know that some monitoring tools can display RPM for the 2000-series as well, but I've not found any documentation about how to support it.

PhoenixMiner 4.7b (release candidate) is available
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg52667354#msg52667354

The release candidate of 4.7 is ready for download. You can download PhoenixMiner 4.7b from here:

https://mega.nz/#F!jJkjyCbb!W6fA-w3XCpwvdC-uwPxSCg  (MEGA)

If you want to check the integrity of the downloaded file, please use the following hashes (you need the last file PhoenixMiner_NVRTC_Windows.zip only if you want to mine BCI with Nvdia cards under Windows):

Here are the new features for this release:

• New kernels for Navi (RX5700) with better stability. Should solve the freezing and restarts that some miners are experiencing with Navi cards
• Reduced VRAM usage for both AMD and Nvidia cards on Windows and Linux
• Added command-line option -config to load a config.txt file. This allows combining command-line options and config.txt file.
• Added support for mining QuarkChain (QKC) without DAG switching on devfee (use -coin qkc)
• Added support for the latest AMD Windows drivers 19.9.3
• Other small improvements and fixes.

When using the new -config option, please note the following:

• The order of the options is important. For example, if we have a config.txt file that contains -cclock 1000 and we specify command line -cclock 1100 -config config.txt, the option from the config.txt file will take precedence and the resulting -cclock will be 1000. If the order is reversed (-config config.txt -cclock 1100) then the second option takes precedence and the resulting -cclock will be 1100.
• Only one -config option is allowed
• If you reload the config file with 'c' key or with the remote interface, its options will take precedence over whatever you have specified in the command-line.

Hi Patrik,

we have a problem with profit-switching with the new stratum from nicehash: stratum+tcp_//sha256asicboost_eu_nicehash_com:3368
if we force a miner to use the pool with this configuration, the miner makes 0.00051120 BTC / 24h regarding nicehash
but in AM the profit-switching shows 0 BTC and so a giant loss?!

Is the scenario that you have an entry for Nicehash Asicboost in the Options dialog, Online Services section, that looks something like this?

Could u add support for Dual-Mining on phoenix miner, pretty much similar to claymore miner

If you have used Claymore's Dual Ethereum miner, you can switch to PhoenixMiner with
minimal hassle as we support most of Claymore's command-line options and confirguration
files.

Hi Patrike !

Another suggestion for for you to include in the next update if you find it usefull.
Currently I can update coin price with exchange API in BTC. But for some coins I could only exchange to DOGE/LTC/ETH/ETC/USDT/USDC.
Could it be possible to add something like a drop down menu in coin properties " Value in ..." and choose between populars coins like these.

I don't know if I'm clear enough, so just tell me if not and I'll try to explain it another way, with graphics

theres a new version of nbminer
