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

[patrike]

Hi patrike,

Nvidia's latest drivers (456.38) installed, under the speed on the right (lower window, GPU tab) the wattage used per GPU is missing under performance.

Can you fix that in the next release, thanks.

Hi,

I've just verified with nVidia drivers 456.38 and I'm not seeing this issue. Is it only in this specific field where the power doesn't show up? Do you see the power if you click on "Map to system monitoring"? Is "Map to system monitoring" enabled or disabled?

Can you please try to reboot the mining computer once in case the power reporting in the nVidia drivers isn't behaving so well.

Is anyone else's Bitcoin Exchange Rate stuck at $10,999.99?

It's 10,999.30 here right now, same as in the status bar. It should be about right.

For how long has it been stuck? Do you get another number in the status bar, at the bottom of the screen?

Awesome Miner should refresh the rate on a regular interval and also refresh it once after you started the application.

It was "stuck" there for at least an hour this morning when I got up to check on the status. I thought it was strange because when I checked the actual BTC price it was listed just above $11,010. Maybe it just didn't update in AwesomeMiner and it was just my luck to catch it with all 9's.
Currently, It's reading $10,999.30 and that's ~30 minutes after you replied. How often is it supposed to update?

It should never more than one hour between the updates.

Hi patrike,

I was able to reproduce the the issue on another system as well, below is a screenshot of the issue, the top picture shows with older drivers.

[STSMiner]

Hi patrike,

Reverted back to 452.06 drivers, the power draw gets shown.

[patrike]

Hi patrike,

Reverted back to 452.06 drivers, the power draw gets shown.

Thanks for making the tests. For some reason it works fine and I see the power usage on RTX 2080 with both 452.06 and the new 456.38 I'm running right now.

Can you please click the button "View GPU details" in the GPU tab and send me the details via PM? Thanks!

Does anyone else experience this problem on the latest nVidia drivers?

Edit: One more question. Can you please look at the file version of "nvml.dll"? Please search for the file as it may be located in more folders than "C:\Windows\system32".

Hi patrike,

Seems there is an issue with the driver updater from Nvidia, as the nvml.dll file was not getting updated in the "C:\Windows\system32" folder.

I copied over the latest file to this folder and all is well now.

Thanks for the help with this issue.

Great that you found the incorrect file version. When I install the latest nVidia drivers, this nvml.dll file was updated correctly so you might just have had some back luck with the nVidia installer.

There are no changes for SrbMiner in this release.

Did you try to remove your custom command line argument " --algorithm yescrypt" as I suggested via PM earlier? SrbMiner 0.5 seems to be very sensitive to the order of the command line arguments, so for the algorithm it's better to let Awesome Miner add it for you.

  Yes, Patrick, I deleted - yescrypt algorithm, miner started, data is displayed. But on other algorithms awesome does not give the desired algorithm, and it does not start in manual mode, I checked it with the m7m, verushash algorithms with srb 5.2

Patrike has no activate verushash and m7m for srbminer 0.5.2. So you must add it manualy in Options -> managed software -> search srb 0.5.2 miner in the list -> edit and add verushash and m7m.

Do not worry. All inclusive. As Patricke wrote: srb is sensitive to settings and must insert the line with the algorithm into the bat file itself, but there is no command for these algorithms - an empty space.

Yes patrike write it is sensitive and i give you the right way. You don´t need to add it to the bat file.

IF YOU ADD THIS AS I DESCRIBED, AWESOMEMINER WILL ADD THE RIGHT ALGO AND NO EMPTY SPACE.  

AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY PICTURE THE DEFAULT COMMAND FOR VERUSHASH IS EMPTY SO IT ADDS A EMPTY SPACE, YOU MUST ADD IT IN THE USER DEFINED LINE.

I do what patrike with the next release will do. But if you don´t understand my point it´s also ok.

Hi Patrik,

the new version of T-Rex mining Ethereum at NiceHash needs a special prefix:

"0.17.2 * Add "ethash" algorithm (for Ethereum). For Nicehash mining use "nicehash+tcp://" pool url prefix."

I know in Online Services / Properties. But how can this be done, if we also want to use other miners than just T-Rex for Ethereum at NiceHash? These other miners would also get the new prefix which should not work. And T-Rex will not work with the standard prefix. Is there a workaround or can you do some magical auto detecting tricks here for that case?

Hi Patrike.

Looks like AM delegate a wrong parameter config for Bminer 16.3.1 with new param -fast I am was unable to start mining process, Syntax error.

AM sent this string:
/root/.config/AwesomeMinerService/bminer-v16.3.1-135666e-amd64.tar_1/bminer-v16.3.1-135666e/bminer   -fast -watchdog=false -uri ethash://0x71c0c1e65dfb0a24dc59b851701fd92d51f37910.1070_@eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -api=0.0.0.0:4028

Bminer crash output:
invalid value "-watchdog=false" for flag -fast: strconv.ParseInt: parsing "-watchdog=false": invalid syntax
Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast (v16.3.1-135666e)

AM v.8.0.2

And big thanks for great HeatMap feature.

Regards


Upd. without -fast flag i can start Bminer, but miner not find any valid shares, miner only in DAG file creation loop till crash.

hi @patrike, I can't find a way to do dual mining with claymore, if I activate it for dual there is no option for ZIL. How can I do to mine ETH + ZIL?

[trucobit]

I really want it to mine nicehash eth and zil in another stratum, I don't know if the miners are prepared for that, or they should only use a single stratum.

[patrike]

I say again that everything is included, but the command for these algorithms is not inserted. Yescrypt is fine.

I've just pushed a mining software definition update where most of the SrbMiner algorithms are mapped by default. Click on "Update mining software definitions" via the blue Menu button.

Please note the following:
- The recent versions of SrbMiner is very sensitive to the command line argument order so manually specifying the algorithm via "Command line arguments" in the Properties of a miner will not work. It must be added by Awesome Miner to ensure the correct order.
- Like sxemini pointed out, it's possible to manually specify the command line arguments for an algorithm via the Options dialog, Managed Software section.
- In the case of RandomEpic, this algorithm wasn't included in Awesome Miner by default. With the recent definition update it is, so no need to manually add it.

Can you please open the Properties for your Icemining RandomEpic pool, and set the algorithm to either "Unspecified RandomEpic" or if you have any specific coin for this defined. Once Awesome Miner knows the algorithm of the pool, it should be able to map it to a command line argument (like 'randomepic' for SrbMiner). Can you please verify this once you have the latest mining software definition update?

Thanks!
