Hi Patrike
found some small bugs:
Prefiks for MiningPoolHub for algo Ethash default value must be changeg from stratum+tcp:// to startum2+tcp:// (can be changed manualy in "Online Services" section)
unable connect with NBMiner to MiningPoolHub Ethash, due wrong protocol prefiks. NBminer use ethproxy+tcp://, but must be startum2+tcp:// (I dont understand why NBMiner ignore prefiks value from "Online Services" where i have manually changed to startum2+tcp:// )

regards

[narousberg]

Patrike, you need implement a download queue for mining software after AM upgrading. If user have a lot of miners and rigs on the LTE network and all this rigs want download software at the same time, its come to huge mining downtime. Regards

Hmm. I'm using MiningPoolHub mining Eth at this very moment. I haven't had any issues (yet.) I'll refer to this if I do though. Thanks!
The only issue that I discovered is that I set the port for mining ETC and it still mines ETH. That's probably a MiningPoolHub issue though, not an AM issue.

Right now ethproxy is enforced as it works for most pools, but I agree this is incorrect behavior. If you define you custom protocol, that one should be used instead.

However, If I'm setting the protocol to stratum2+tcp:// for NbMiner, it will not start.

That's just the point, I installed the hiveos version hiveos-beta-0.6-157@200909 under 5700, I go over the local network to the rig via PuTTY, I connect, through the console I enter in order:
wget http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setup/awesomeminer-remoteagent.tar.xz
tar xvJf awesomeminer-remoteagent.tar.xz
cd awesomeminer-remoteagent

sudo ./service-install.sh

./AwesomeMiner.RemoteAgent.Linux

sudo ./service-install.sh

./service-start.sh

I see an active one in the console, I go AM, I find it, I connect, then in the AM window the service is offline. It seems to be connected, but it does not work

Hi Patrik,

I think I found a bug in the new admin privileges.

I had the admin privileges in the "Properties" before. After the newest update 8.1, I deactivated it in the "Properties" and activated it directly in the "Profit Profile". On most miners it works perfectly. But on one miner it will not save the unchecked box in the "Properties".

If I uncheck it and close AM, after starting AM again its still checked. If I start AM in administrator mode, uncheck it, close AM and restart it again in administrator mode, it is unchecked (sometimes, not always). But if I close AM and start it in normal mode, it is checked again. Even if I just stop/start the miner or after a few minutes running, it will switch from uncheck to checked. No matter what I try, it wont be saved forever, but only on this one miner. Do you have an idea what could be the reason or what I can do to finally deactivate it in the "Properties"?

EDIT: I also tried to delete the ConfigData.xml.bck and tmp before, between and after closing/restarting AM, it doesnt helped. Still the same bug.

Thank you!

Small quide how to prepare & configure HiveOS USB stick and AwesomeMiner:

configure BIOS of your rig to use extern GPU as primary video output
put USB stick with fresh HIveOS installation in your mining rig.
connect hdmi monitor to GPU which is connected to main PCE slot
switch on rig power
after HiveOS loaded do following commands:
hivepasswd somepassword
diskexpand
selfupgrade
wget http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setup/awesomeminer-remoteagent.tar.xz
tar xvJf awesomeminer-remoteagent.tar.xz
cd awesomeminer-remoteagent
sudo ./service-install.sh
ldconfig /hive/lib/

now you can access your rig linux console from remote computer over: ssh user@yourRigIP

you can install a new NVIDIA driver. (preffered) This upgrade you must do over remote console!
Login to rig over ssh and do this commands:
logs-on
reboot

after rebooting:
cd awesomeminer-remoteagent
*stop*
killall xinit
nvidia-driver-update

after driver installation complete (need some time) do this commands:

logs-off
reboot

now you can use HiveOS+AM together

P.S. Very important! Do not assign any flightsheets or set any watchdogs, autofan, overclocks in Hive Web interface for this rig. This will cause a conflict between AM and Hive! Only put rig.conf file on USB stcik (Better if you simple create a fresh rig instance on Hive website for this setup) All what we need from Hive is only configured Linux and cuda libs, nothing more. AM remote agent will do the rest.

Enjoy.

He-he, i see you use AMD cards, then you can skip a step with NVDIA driver update. I see you have installed AM remote agent. If you cant connect to rig over AM, then check:
If you marked in AM the rig host as a Linux host
check windows firewall

@Patrike

please add default params for Lolminer for Cortex algorithm: C30CTX

[patrike]

If I uncheck it and close AM, after starting AM again its still checked.

Hi and thanks for the feedback.

When the profit switcher is running, it will check the Profit Profile for this Managed Profit Miner and adjust the Admin-property based on how the most profitable algorithm is configured (in the Profit Profile, Algorithm specific settings). So if the Managed Profit Miner Properties dialog is showing the Admin-property being checked - is the related Profit Profile configured to update the Admin-property for any of the algorithms?

I assume that if you manually make a change to the Admin-property on the Managed Profit Miner and save/close the dialog, it looks fine if you re-open the dialog again right away? However, if you wait for a while and let the profit switcher make a decision for the miner, it will change based on how the Profit Profile is configured for the specific algorithm. Does this match what happens? If not, please let me know if I misunderstood your question.

8.1.0 is broken - cant install, shows error something about cant start service. Worst thing - it removed previous perfectly working version.

Ah, now I get it. If the override in the "Profit Profile" trigger the admin privileges, it markes also the admin privileges in the "Properties". If it switches to another coin without the override, it also unchecks the admin privileges in the "Properties".

So not a bug, its a feature

Thanks for your question. It might be that you don't have a recent version of the Microsoft .NET Framework installed on your computer.
​
Awesome Miner and Remote Agent version 8.x requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later.
- This .NET version is already included in Windows 10 since April 2018. Run 'winver' to check the current Windows 10 version. If the version is 1803 or above, all is fine and no action is required.
- For Windows 7, Windows 8 and older versions of Windows 10 and Windows Server, please download and install:
     https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-web-installer

Which version of Awesome Miner did you run before the upgrade?

Yes, but I'm still interested in your feedback here as I want to make sure the concept is usable. The goal was to have a way where only specific algorithms will run with Admin-permissions, while other algorithms will not.
