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

[Grumo]

Hi Patrick
I'm trying to add my new fpga miner by Monad , the imperium v2. it seems that it doesnt connect to the api. i added manually and it says "disconnected", then it change to "mining". But it doesnt give any more info.
Will it be supported in the future?

Hello
thanks for new functionalities !
Any news about possibility (a button) to update hashrate statistics when switching (this may be an alternative to make benchmarks) of course if possible ?

try this: Right click on miner -> Save hashrate

Hi Patrike
is this possible to implement a miner software version override function on the profit profile level or in miner object?
At the moment GMiner from ver. 1.97 is better for mining of Coockaroom algo but for CoockaToo31 the best version still 1.96

In my scenario i want that the rigs with Nvidia 1060 cards using other miner software version as rigs which can mine Coockatoo algo, like rigs with 1080ti - 2080ti cards

Hi Patrike
i have found a bug:

if i use for miner hosts addresses like xxx.ddns.net:9033, xxx.ddns.net:9034, xxx.ddns.net:9035 and so on in managed profit miner mode. Then if i stop one of this miners and start again, all others miners on this xxx.ddns.net will be stoped and must be started manually.
This bug made imposible to use this addresses in profit switching mode due profit switcher use stop&start function of miners.
Looks like identifying of miners host ignore a port number. I need to switch back to ZeroTier VPN what is much slowly works as ddns.net aliases, till you clear this bug.

Regards

Upd: Switching back to old hosts with ZeroTier ips was not easy, the chaos continue till i have fully deleted all hosts with xxx.ddns.net addresses from databank.

Automatic saving of hashrate is still on the todo-list. Manual saving is possible via Save Hashrate (like @narouberg pointed out).

Can this be moved to a place where it is safer to exclude in antivirus?

Windows Task Scheduler is creating these files and Awesome Miner can unfortunately not select in which folder.

hi Patrike

pls. add in next update new version of NoncerPro
https://github.com/NoncerPro/noncerpro-nimiq-cuda/releases

Thanks for letting me know. I've pushed an update for this.

Can you please send me the API report for this miner (toolbar: Tools -> API Report)? Please send via PM or mail. I will investigate what kind of information the miner providers. Thanks!

Once it's showing as "Mining", does it stay on "Mining" all the time but no other information is displayed?

This should be possible if you manually add User Defined mining software via the Options dialog, Managed Software section. Select that it's fully compatible with Gminer, but specify your own URL for an older version.

In your Profit Profile Properties, you can select this user defined mining software for a specific algorithm like CuckaToo21.

Having the same hostname but different port numbers should work just fine. It's no difference than using IP address and a port number.

Please go to the Options dialog, Managed Hosts section and make sure you don't have two entries pointing to the same Remote Agent. For example that you have duplicates pointing to the same Remote Agent (xxx.ddns.net:9033 and possibly an IP address pointing to the same computer)

yes, you are right. My mistake was that i have define two host entries to the same computer, but with different ips. One VPN (ZeroTier) and second was xxx.ddns.net with port forwarding to local ip.
Hmm, but i never think, that this setup can made conflicts. Looks like AM assign some unique host IDs internally and later different state in different host objects of the same host caused this chaos.  Good to know.
I take my words about "bug" back))))

Awesome Miner version 7.4

 ASIC mining
  - Network scan for Antminers supports a new mode where the hostname of the miner can be defined as part of the scan - also linking the hostname with the External Miner
  - Add multiple External Miners at once by specifying a list of IP addresses in the Add Miner wizard
  - Support copy of IP addresses to clipboard from the list of results when performing ASIC operations like Default Pools or Configure API Access
  - Antminer IP Reporter feature, where pressing the 'IP Report' button on an Antminer. This feature can be accessed via the toolbar Tools -> ASIC Tools.
 GPU mining
  - Edit GPU Clocking Profiles directly from the Benchmark dialog
  - Added additional algorithms
  - Improved device power usage detection for GPU mining benchmark
 Rules
  - New trigger for mining uptime. Can be used to define behaviors after the mining has been running for a certain period of time.
  - Improved trigger 'Detect dead/sick device' to detect ASIC chip marked as Red by the Awesome Miner Antminer firmware
 Features
  - The profit switcher can be configured for a second switching interval with another threshold level. Example: If the primary interval is 3 minutes with a 20% threshold, the secondary interval can be 8 minutes with a 10% threshold.
  - The profit switcher for External Miners supports the setting for Minimum time on pool
  - A profit profile can be configured to override the global value for Minimum time on pool. Can for example be used to switch pools for ASIC miners less often than GPU miners.
  - The information column can be configured to show the notes entered for a miner, mining software, ASIC description and ASIC details
 Mining software
  - Gminer 2.01, incl. dual mining of Ethereum + Handshake
  - NbMiner 27.7
  - XmRig 5.9
  - CpuMiner-Opt 3.12.6.1
  - SrbMiner 0.4.0
  - NoncerPro nVidia Miner 3.3.0
 Corrections
  - Correction to GPU Clocking Profile Groups on Linux
  - Correction to benchmark of Handshake algorithm for NbMiner and Gminer
  - Correction to Phoenix Miner algorithms
  - Correction to main window behavior to prevent it from staying on top
  - Correction to API reports taking long time to generate due to slow ASIC miner responses
  - Correction to display of mining software uptime when more than one day
  - Correction to Task Scheduler setup in environments where the computer name and user name is identical
  - Improved behavior in case the computer time is being changed
  - Improved fan speed display for Awesome Miner Antminer firmware with fan check turned off

Hi Patrike
after update on 7.4 all wallet addresses from Profit profile -> Override global profit switching pools is gone. Now i have idiotic job to put all addresses back))))
Check pls. that happens in previous version after update too.

I can't see any specific reason why these specific settings would be lost at the moment, but I will investigate the scenario to find out more.

If you simply exit Awesome Miner and start again, are the settings saved correctly?

normal program closing and start dont clear this settings. This is strange behavior, its happens not every update, but sometimes happens.
That happens often after i create new ProfitProfile (over cloning of existing profile), assign new profile to new miner. Cant say exactly, but after some big changes on profile.
maybe this is simple .NET bug or windows???

It's at it again!



MWC31 should be started.



ETH/Handshake are started instead

AM and Agent Logs: https://we.tl/t-Q9IrAzh2nh

EDIT: Okay I was able to work around this by correcting the power usage in the dual mining section - however that doesn't explain why the profit switcher was choosing ETH/HB because it clearly shows that even with the wrong power setting for dual mining, MWC31 was more profitable.

Hi,

In trigger miner state I can choose 'mining' or 'disconnected api access denied' is there a possibility to just test miner state 'stopped' ?
for instance when a rule stop miner if current profit below a certain amount,  after,  I would  like to set 'if miner stopped and profit profile above a certain amount then start miner'

please it is possible to have in miner state trigger to test the status 'stopped' ?

thks if possible or how to make it with all the existing tools already in the box (because there are plenty possibilities in awesome miner :-) ) ?

I've identified the exact scenario now and it will be corrected.

There are no trigger to check if the miner is in Stopped state. Even if you send the Start command when the miner is already running - nothing happens. So your rule might just work fine even without this check.

You can also configure the rule to only run one per minute for example, by combining your existing triggers with a Time-trigger.
