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

GMiner1.93 after hardfork of Grin29 impossible to mine on Nicehash, watchdog in miner not activated, all shares are above the target or rejected.

How to enable native GMiner watchdog? Adding "-w 1" not help because  "-w 0" is set internally in AM

You can manually set the command line parameter "-w 1". It's true that Awesome Miner do add "-w 0" by default, but it will not be added if Awesome Miner see that you already have a "-w" parameter.

For most of the default parameters Awesome Miner set, you can manually override it by setting another value and Awesome Miner will use your parameter value instead.

i have set manually -w 1, but then Gminer exit with with error: -w parameter cant be set twice
I set this parameter over Option->Managed Software

we need integration of Nichehash Coockaroom service in AM.
At the moment profit switcher dont get profitability info for this algo.

I will soon make a new release where Nicehash Cuckaroom29 is included.

Thanks for letting me know, I will take a look at that case. If you set it via the Properties of the Miner or via the Profit Profile (in the properties for Gminer), the override will work fine.

Note: I do understand that Gminer suggested using the watchdog for this specific fork, but in general it isn't recommended to have the mining software restart itself as it will not work well together with Awesome Miner. If the mining software restart itself, Awesome Miner will no longer find the mining process it started (it will be considered a crash) and restart it.

So I had to transfer 8 of my NVIDIA 1070 cards to my (WIP) rig that already had 3 RX 5700 cards on it because I was having a problem with the PSU on the 1070 rig.
But after I did, everything got all messed up on the GPU tab and it won't display watts for my NVIDIA cards.
As you'll see GPU 0 and 1 (5700 XT) is reading the hashrate of a 1070
GPU 2 (5700 XT) is reading for a 5700 XT (but the right one?)
GPU 5 and 6 are 1070 cards but read the hashrate of my 5700 XT cards
None of the cards 3 - 10 are displaying the wattage.
Advice?

Could you please click the "View GPU Details" button in this GPU tab and send me the output? Please send via PM or mail because of the size. Thanks!
To some extent the "Map to system monitoring" button can be used to reorder the GPU's, but that will not resolve the missing power display.

Check your messages. Thanks.

The "map to system monitoring" seems to have something crossed though.
My RX 5700 XT cards are 1780 MHz Memory and the 1070 cards are 4428 MHz. Significant difference. But where is posts the "Performance" is where it's interesting.
GPU 0 is displayed as hashing ETH at 31.42MH/s and GPU 1 is 30.53. Both are 5700 XT cards.
But GPU 2 is a 5700 XT card and hashes at 50.64 MH/s.
GPU 3 is a 1070 which reads properly at 31.66 MH/s
But GPU 5 is a 1070 which is reading at 50.8 MH/s. (Which is impossible. It's obviously a 5700 XT card.) Same with GPU 6.

Regarding the "Map Device Order" I'm thinking that the problem is from the PCI Bus ID:
The order is
PCI Bus ID: 11
PCI Bus ID: 5
PCI Bus ID: 14
PCI Bus ID: 1
PCI Bus ID: 2
PCI Bus ID: 6
PCI Bus ID: 8
...
etc.
Is that normal?

Thanks for sharing all details.

For the power usage the nVidia drivers are indicating an error when Awesome Miner query for the power usage. In case you have more mining rigs, is this the only one where you don't get nVidia power usage? If you restart Awesome Miner and select the System tab at the bottom for this miner - do you see any power usage?

For the device ordering - in the dialog "Map to system monitoring" you can manually set the correct order by using the Up and Down arrows (in upper right corner). I do intent do improve how Awesome Miner automatically tries to sort out the ordering of the GPU's, but the difficulty is that many mining software report the hashrate for the GPU's in their own order - and Awesome Miner isn't yet smart enough to sort this out.

It shows everything except the power usage. Displays as 0 W.
But in GPU-Z everything shows as it should.

Suggestions?

how do you stop the miner from adding its own watchdog if you have it specified

Hi,
Thanks for the update.

A few questions:
1) Does a reboot of the Remote Agent computer resolve the issue?
2) Is this problem only present on this specific mining rig or on other as well?
3) GPUz has some special sensor reading capabilities and isn't using nVidia NVML as Awesome Miner and most other software do. If you run some mining software that display power usage in the mining console window - is that one correctly displaying the power usage on this computer?

If no "-w" flag is specified, Awesome Miner will add "-w 0" to disable the watchdog (recommended). I see that you already set "-w 1" somewhere, so Awesome Miner never added the default "-w 0".

However, you have also added "--watchdog=false", in addition to "-w 1", and this causes the command line problem. If you don't want to use the watchdog, please remove both "-w 1" and any other watchdog parameters you have added manually. The result will be that Awesome Miner add "-w 0" for you.

If you do want to use the watchdog, please only add "-w 1".

1) I shut down my rigs every night. Makes sleeping easier.   So no.
2) I didn't have this problem with the original machine (with the bad PSU) that I took these 8 cards from.
3) It shows the wattage on LibreHardwareMonitor:

Maybe that help you:
Create folder NVSMI in C:/Programm Files/NVIDIA Corporation
find on computer file nvml.dll and copy to NVSMI
restart miner

[narousberg]

anyone know web service where i can recive balance for Bech32 BTC address format over API?
I cant fully use Wallet Balance feature in AM if i put Bech32 addresses.

Thanks for trying, but no. I even tried re-installing the drivers and rebooting. Same results.

Awesome Miner uses blockchain.com for BTC wallet balance.

Please try the following Block Explorer API URL instead:

Thanks for sharing the fact that the LibreHardwareMonitor tool was working. That tool uses NVML in a similar way as Awesome Miner, so Awesome Miner is expected to work in this environment as well. I will investigate the issue in more detail. I may get back to you about the log file for Remote Agent if needed.

[trucobit]

Please check your email, send the xml config, for the currency problem defined and that does not appear.

I also notify another problem, when defining another currency, now I do not read the price of the exchange that I have dynamic, until two days ago it worked fine.

https://safe.trade/api/v2/peatio/public/markets/arwbtc/tickers

that query does not read it now AM gives error, but if I paste it in the browser if it gives the result.

Okay, thanks for trying.
I'm expecting to get my new 1600W PSU on Tuesday. Depending on the time of the delivery I might be installing it as late as Wednesday. At that point, I might be moving the 1070 cards back to their original machine. At that point, this won't really matter much to me anymore. I only brought it to your attention because it was a pretty strange issue.

this explorer work with "Bech32" in "Coin balance properties" dialog by clicking "Test settings", but not in "Balance!->"Wallet balance" tabs.
This explorer works with all BTC address formats and everywhere in AM:

Found small bug in AM, i cant set BTC as coin in: "Coin balance properties"->Coin
BTC simple not present in drop down list!?
