GMiner has a "feature" where it tries to detect tampering. When you launch Gminer from other applications it can on some systems trigger this tamper protection.
It's unfortunately nothing I can do from an Awesome Miner to resolve this as it's a Gminer behavior. What you could try is to run a little older version of Gminer to see if that works better. You can configure this via the Options dialog, Managed Software section.

Older versions of GMiner don't work either, it's not the GMiner that changes version-to-version, it's Awesome Miner. I already posted this issue here before, and the very next release of Awesome Miner fixed the issue, so I assumed that I was heard and the issue was dealt with, and everything worked fine for several updates more, but now GMiner doesn't work again, any version of it. I asked the developer of GMiner too, and was answered that it's not their fault and they cannot deal with every miner management program that launches their miner.

Please start Gminer with the Diagnostics button in Awesome Miner and share the output with me.

If it's the "anti-hacking" error message from Gminer I will contact them and see what it's about. It looks like it appears at random, although it works fine for almost all other users. There is nothing I can do from an Awesome Miner point of view here as it's Gminer behavior.

If you have any replies or discussions with the Gminer developer already, please forward it to me via PM. Thanks!

I accidently fixed the problem. I saw that new version of Awesome Miner came out, so I decided to see if it would work with GMiner, so I tried to update, but it wouldn't update, so I uninstalled Awesome Miner and tried to install it again, but it wouldn't install, so I reinstalled Windows 10 and chose the LTSC version that came out recently, and after installing Awesome Miner everything works now, the GMiner launches fine now. So, with Windows 10 LTSC it works, and I had Windows 10 Corporate before, it didn't work

OOPS.. Correction : It worked until I restarted the computer. And then GMiner started exiting with an error again...I tried RIGHT-CLICK -> system tools -> cleanup all downloaded software, but the fresh copy of GMiner still exits with an error

Thanks for the update. Please send me the diagnostics output.

Hi all,

What is the formula for Difficulty, Block Reward and Exponential factor?

Thanks

CoinsPerDay = Hashrate * secondsPerDay * BlockReward / (Difficulty * 2^ExpFactor)

With version 7.3.2 it automatically adjusted. The number of Accepted and Rejected shares you see in the list of miners will only include your pools, not the DevFee pools.

Patrike, I'm thinking to buy the Premium version of Awesome Miner, there is just one thing I do not understand and cannot find answer to: does the remote agent only execute commands from the main application, or it performs all operations on its own? In other words, do I have to run the main application on a separate computer to control the mining rigs? If so, what happens if the main computer loses connection or freezes? does the profit switching stop until the control is restored?

yup. profit switching won't work but mining will continue.

Thanks for sharing. One final request on this. Did you try to run the mining process as Administrator? Right click on the miner and select Properties. Go to the Environment section and check "Run mining process with Administrator privileges". Please let me know and then I will try to reach out to the Gminer developer about what their "Anti-hacking" system is doing here.

[narousberg]

YEAH!!! Now works fan management for RTX2080TI multi GPU rigs on Linux hosts properly!
Respect! @patrike

if you mean that I do that from Windows File Explorer - set the properties of the miner.exe file, then with admin privileges it dosn't start from Awesome Miner at all (both in diagnostics mode and mining mode):

one small thing: if i use GUI function: "Add to Quick Access Toolbar" after closing of Awesome Miner all settings is gone and GUI must be configured from scratch. Please check...

Sorry for not being perfectly clear here - please don't change the permissions in Windows File Explorer. Open the Propeties of the Managed Profit Miner in Awesome Miner (right click on the Managed Profit Miner and select Properties). Go to the Environment section and check "Run mining process with Administrator privileges"

Thanks for the nice feedback and I'm glad to hear that it's working better.

This feature was actually never intended to be available. It's part of the user interface toolkit we use and we have not really integrated with it. For this reason there are currently no Load/Save concept for these buttons. It's on the todo-list for the future. Thanks for the feedback!

Open the Propeties of the Managed Profit Miner in Awesome Miner (right click on the Managed Profit Miner and select Properties). Go to the Environment section and check "Run mining process with Administrator privileges"

Finally !!! Yes, it does work that way, the GMiner starts normally. I wonder why, what's the difference, weird

[georgeggg]

Is there any way to control the rigs with the main application from main computer AND have them auto-profit-switch when the main computer is offline? It doesn't seem efficient to run a non-mining computer 24/7 just to send commands, if I run copies of main application on all rigs, they auto-switch by themselves, so it would be logical that if I pay money for a full version, I should get even more convenience and utility, not less. Can't I somehow run the main app AND the remote agent, or something, I want the rigs to auto-switch by themselves AND to be able to control them from main computer without remote-desktoping to every rig and manually changing settings

you can run main AM application on one of your rigs then

Bug report: GPU Settings -> AMD power usage (+ percent) does not seem to apply to Linux clients, only Windows ones. Changing this value from 0% to 40% does not change the reported power usage on my Linux clients.  

Feature request: Profitability -> Power and operating costs -> Add additional power usage - Is it possible to add another field or an option to make this value multiply per active miner? IE I find that I need to add another 100-150w power usage per rig, it would be great to have a field where I can just say "Add 100w per active mining machine"

Thanks!
