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

[patrike]

Using latest AM v8.0.2 with latest t-rex-0.17.2 which added ethash algorithm for Ethereum.  Had to manually enable algo ethash in Managed software options.

Diagnostics when starting t-rex with -a ethash :

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?

With the latest definition update I've mapped "ethash" for T-Rex miner.

For Mining Pool Hub, it looks like some incompatibility between the T-Rex miner and their Ethereum pool.

The Nicehash, this requires a small code change in Awesome Miner to change the protocol to "nicehash+tcp" as you pointed out. This will be part of the next release.

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)

Did you specify a number after "-fast"? Otherwise Bminer will not accept your custom command line argument. It must be "-fast 1" or similar.

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.

Thanks for your question. From what I've seen from ZIL mining so far is that you connect to a specific mining pool (one pool) that takes care of the ZIL + ETH mining. So from Awesome Miner point of view, it's a single pool that do both coins behind the scene.

I'm not sure if there are any ZIL mining pools that allows you to actually mine ETH elsewhere. I think the ZIL+ETH concept is more like merged mining rather than dual mining. Again, I'm not an expert on this specific coin so there might be other users here with more information on how it actually works.

One of my rigs is running Ubuntu 20.04 desktop with 2 GPUs as follows:

GPU 0 EVGA 1070Ti PCI Bus ID 1
GPU 1 MSI 1070 PCI Bus ID 2

Both are showing up in the GPU tab and both are hashing.

However, for some reason I'm only able to control the power and clock settings for GPU 0.

When I go to tools/GPU clocking, only GPU 0 is showing up.

All my other rigs, mostly running nvOC (Ubuntu based) and Win10, do not have this issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks

  - Improved sorting of miners in the list of available miners for a heat map
  - The information column can display the MAC address of a miner
 Integration
  - Wallet balance feature can be configured to send custom HTTP headers when requesting balance from a block explorer
 Mining software

  - T-rex miner 0.17.2
 Corrections
  - Correction to list of groups when moving miners in web interface
  - Corrected tooltip display for miners in the heat map

Nothing has changed for me, srbminer for cpu does not start, problem with api. I downloaded version 5.2 still does not start.

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.

https://abload.de/img/t07khb.jpg

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.

Sxemini, hello.

You suggested everything correctly. I figured it out, it works fine. Thank.

Hello,
Can you please send me the following details (via PM or mail)

1) The output from the following command:
nvidia-smi --query-gpu=name,pci.bus,index,temperature.gpu,utilization.gpu,fan.speed,power.draw,clocks.current.graphics,clocks.current.memory,pci.sub_device_id,memory.total --format=csv,noheader,nounits

2) Via Awesome Miner, select the miner, then the GPU tab and click "View GPU details". Please share the output with me

3) Finally, please restart Remote Agent once and then send me the Remote Agent log file (you can access it via Awesome Miner toolbar Tools -> Log File -> Awesome Miner Remote Agent).

Thanks!

What is everyone running as the OS when using the Linux remote agent?

Ubuntu 20.04 desktop edition or server edition or something completely different?

I'd like to keep my OS install as lean as possible but wasn't sure of it is a pain to install the graphics drivers on the server edition (or if it is even supported).

EDIT: I went ahead and installed 20.04 on a test rig with a single 1070.  Added the latest Nvidia driver and screen (not part of base desktop install) and of course the remote agent.

Added the new rig to AM and created a GPU Clocking Profile.

Started mining, which is working fine, but the GPU Clocking Profile is being ignored.

Are GPU clocking profiles not supported on Ubuntu?

EDIT2:  Will AM automatically start the ETH pill on rigs with 1080/1080Ti GPUs?

Anyone can tell if there is an iso with linux do burn on a pendrive that supports AM?

It will be nice to have a Linux OS that you only have to power on and start to mine with AM

Please, somebody can help us to make a special linux version for AM?

We will most likely provide a Linux mining OS on an USB at some point in the future. I fully understand that this would make it easier to get started.

I know a number of users here use HiveOS as a Linux distribution, but don't sign up for any of their services. You can install Awesome Miner Remote Agent on top of it:

Hi Patrike,

dunno if I already asked about this suggestion.

Especially for ETH coins most miners have a build-in tweak, which needs admin privileges. If I set them in "Properties", all mining software will start from now on with admin privileges.

Is it possible to give this option to the "Profit Profile" in the "Algorithm specific settings"? Like an on/off button, to just turn on/off the admin privileges for that specific algorithm/miner.

Thanks!

[soothaa]

Good morning, I took a trip through the documentation but was unable to find an answer to my question.

I'm building a rule to execute an external program and I would like to pass the miner's tags through to the output, is that currently possible?

Hi Joesph,
I will look into this for one of the next releases. It makes sense and should be fast to do.

I think it will have to be one "Override" box where you select if you want to override the Admin flag or not for the specified algorithm. Then of course the "Run mining process with Administrator privileges" box. It would also have to be part of the Bulk Edit.

The reason for the "Override" box is that if you already have a Managed Profit Miner and get the new version where the algorithm can override this behavior - you don't want it to change what is being configured on the miner unless you explicitly tell that this Algorithm specific setting should override what is being defined on the miner.

There are currently no feature for this but it should be quite easy to support.
I assume you want to specify the command line parameters like [tags] and Awesome Miner would translate this to "myfirsttag,mysecondtag" or similar?

Sounds great and really makes sense

Hi Patrike
I have some suggestion how you can made AM more interesting for people who dont have a mining rigs. You need to add a possibilty for renting a hashpower from other AM users, ofcouse if this rigs will be marked as available for renting. I know this is a huge thing, but you can grab some extra profit from this new created market.
You can implement Lightning network for payment between users and for AM fee. This will be very good for Bitcoin and crypto.

hello

I want to know how can i edit (where can i edit) the phoenixminer options like MCLOK or CCLOK (on command line).

i tryed to input on managed miner properties / command line but the miner did not take effect.

Also, i have the professional license that does not allow me to edit the clocks.

tks

try: Miner context menu (right mouse click) -> Properties->Advanced and add Variable+params
or Propierties->Command Line section, put there your variables+value
or same in Profit Profile for the miner "Command line parameters"

Thanks for the suggestion. This is a quite large project as you point out, but we will see if this could be something for the future.
