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

[joseph32]

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.

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

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.

Hi Patrik,

it was a bit confusing with the automated checkbox-mark in the "Properties" and I couldnt find out why its sometimes marked and sometimes demarked If you add sometime the new override function to your FAQ, try to mention that AM also turns on/off the box in the "Properties".

Right now I see miners side by side with and without admin privileges running as I set them up in the options. It seems to work as intented. I really appreciate your work a lot. Great job like always, thanks!

I am having trouble with batch files after a miner stops on a remote machine. It will run any command I give it when starting the miner, but nothing happens when Awesome Miner changes to another algorithm. I also tried putting a command in the before stopping miner area, and it won't run from there either. I can enter commands from the tools menu at any time and they will execute on the remote machine just fine. I just can't get it to execute a command when changing from one miner to an other. After playing with it some more, I found out that if I stop the miner manually then it will run the batch file. But it won't run it if I manually restart it, or if profit switching changes miners.

The latest version will not install the service anymore. 8.0.1 works, but 8.1 will not finish installing the service. Have any ideas? Download location for previous release?

I was trying to reproduce this without success. Have you defined the commands to run on the Managed Profit Miner itself (Properties, Command Line section) or via the Profit Profile, where you can configure this per algorithm? If configured on the Profit Profile - is it configured different per algorithm?

The configuration in the Profit Profile will only be used if the Managed Profit Miner doesn't have any commands defined.

Hello!

I have been using Awesome Miner for a while now and have had zero issues with it until today.  For some reason, profit switching is not actually switching the miners. 

I can see it running, picking up a more profitable pool, but miners are stuck where they are currently mining against.  I can click into Pools, select the most profitable pool switcher found manually, click Prioritize, and it switches the miner without any issues. 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It was the Windows version. The two rigs I was having issues with had older versions from a rebuild. Installed the .Net you posted the link to and they are both installing the latest Remote Agent.

Thank you,

I looked at "Options / Managed Miner / edit" and the miner, has no extra commands there. I'm having trouble with the Profit Profile.  It's has a check mark "Batch Commands" and a button "Configure". The button brings up a menu with 3 boxes to enter commands. if I use a new profit profile with only 2 algorithms in it. Then on one algorithm, I put commands in the three boxes like this, one in each box. "@echo before start&&pause" "@echo before stopping&&pause" "@echo after stopping&&pause" I don't use any commands on the second algorithm. If I start the miner my first command opens, and then the miner opens. If I manually stop or restart on the miner, the second and third commands work fine. If Profit Switching changes the miner to the other algorithm, something total different happens. The second and third commands don't run when the first algorithm stops, they only run if the miner later switches back to the first algorithm. After the switch back, both the second and third commands run, then the first command, then the miner. I hope I've made my self a little more clear this time. Thank you for your help.

Hi Patrike, small suggestion:
Can your add a "Add pool in Manged profit switching" functionality to coin contex menue in "Coins" tab. After user click the selected pool, the pooll will be added to the list in "Profit switching" additional pools and additional pool text area will be activated if needed.

I see where my antminer X3 is supported but none of the coins are listed and the unspecified cryptonight options do not produce any results.

Is there a way to add coins or something else I need to do?

Many thanks for the detailed description. I was able to reproduce the problem and the next release will correct the problem.

Awesome Miner can monitor any Antminer, including Antminer X3, no matter which pool you are mining on and no matter which coin you are mining.

There are not many CryptoNight coins available these days, but you should be able to see a few if you go to the Coins tab in Awesome Miner and sort by algorithm. Please note that the coins in Awesome Miner only relates to the display of Revenue and Profit for the mining. You can mine any CryptoNight-based coin on any pool on your Antminer.

Which pool/coin are you mining on right now?

Is there anything in Awesome Miner that would prevent the computer screen from going to sleep?

Awesome Miner is calling a Windows API once per minute to say that the computer shouldn't go to sleep mode. The screen may however go to sleep.

my AM is like frozen - none of the stats are changing - and it reports that all miner are not getting shares - but shows them as online.

per the pools miners are working.

Hi Patrike, can you add a possibilty to display a ETH/ETC gas price in the bottom line (where price of other user selected coins will be displayed) Regards.
