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

[TheFridge]

I dont know Hamachi that well, but im guessing its working for the machines its installed on, as opposed to actually giving you a vpn into your entire network.

Ok just looked it up, Mesh Network only connects together PC's running Hamachi, it doesnt let you see the whole network at each end.
Looking at their site, you need Gateway mode on the computer that has the Antminers on the same network.


The other option is to just do some port forwards in the router to the Antminers, assuming they are IP's of 192.168.0.10, and 192.168.0.11, you could forward say:
Port 5678 to 192.168.0.10:4028
Port 5679 to 192.168.0.11:4028

If you keep the antminer api's in restricted mode, people wont be able to change your miners settings (as once the ports are open, theres no password to stop anyone getting api access)

Thanks for the help. I managed to view the Antminers (after going backwards and forwards many times) using hamachi setup as a gateway. Wouldnt work at first because it would relay tunnel the connection. Hours of googling and youtube fixed this. I set up hamachi, and then my laptop 'looked' like it was on the 192.168.x.x network. I did have troubles connecting still but i  by changed the ip_allow setting in the /etc/config/cgminer folder and that fixed it. Note: that ip_allow 'true' does not work.  It has to be an address.
The issues I had were not related to Awesome miner, more like my inexperience with setting up the other services

How do I keep the s3's in restricted mode?

I will investigate if future versions of the Awesome Miner Remote Service can be used to forward the connections to other miners, like your Antminers, on the same remote network

That would be a great idea, would certainly simplify things

Seems theres a wealth of info there that I overlooked 

For future reference, if anyone else is having troubles with getting hamachi to tunnel correctly to the remote miners this little tutorial helped:

Worked for me.

Now to buy the full version and setup the GPU's

A feature I would like to see would be one that turns off the miners if a certain value per miner is not being reached.
If this is already possible please elaborate.

Is the idea to stop the miner if the profitability is lower than a specified number of BTC/1MH/day? And start the mining again if the profitability get higher? That feature is currently not available, but is fully possible to develop using the existing Script API for Awesome Miner. It will however only work for Managed Miners, not for external ASIC's for example.

I had similar requests before, and this is good input to future development.

Yes, that is what I had in mind.  I'll look into Script API.  Thanks!

The Script API might be a bit difficult to use unless you are used to C# development.

You will find more information, and including the source code for the Awesome Profit Switching script here:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/script.aspx

At some point I was planning to do the development of this new script for stopping low profit miners, but it may not be the next few weeks because of many other feature requests.

Really digging this software. I now no longer need to SSH or Teamviewer in to any of my rigs.
Question though: I cant see any of the GPU statistics in the Managed miners field (core clock, fan speed etc) If API-allow wasnt set correct then I wouldnt be able change pool etc.

Plus how can I have privileged access the CGminer API on my ANtminers? I have done api_allow W:0/0 to test it and it still doesnt work. Im thinking the API is broken? Does anyone else have this issue?

I would also think it would be nice to have profit switching for SHA256. Even just between NiceHash and BTC directly
Also coinking?

+1 for Nvidia Mining too

Are you running the Remote Service (Windows service) or the Remote Agent (Windows system tray application) on your remote miners? If you are using the Window service, some GPU information will not be available because they cannot be accessed from services.

Plus how can I have privileged access the CGminer API on my ANtminers? I have done api_allow W:0/0 to test it and it still doesnt work. Im thinking the API is broken? Does anyone else have this issue?

I used to have Antminer S1, and then I had to modify the startup shell script for the miner to enable privileged API access. Have you tried these steps?

Good idea, but there are very few SHA-256 multi-pools out there. But sure, just NiceHash and BTC would also be useful.

The Coinking API doesn't provide any profitability information. I've tried to contact them about that without success. I will try again.

+1 for Nvidia Mining too

I've started to look into that, and if there are enough interest, I will support it in Awesome Miner. There are however no API at all provided by Cudaminer/ccminer, so the statistics you can get will basically be what the console output is giving you. But that's good enough for making a nVidia based profit switcher.

Just running the remote agent. Checked the running process in task manager and it only says remote agent. Any ideas?

Seems the s3 can't access the etc/init.d file. Non existent maybe? I'll check over on the s3 thread.

[Axiste]

you lost me there fridge.. trying to use the remote agent to monitor an S3? That wont work.

Need more details 

[JuanHungLo]

Patrike,
I tried to do the upgrade. to v1.06.  I clicked yes, it seems to be downloading something, the program shuts down and then nothing.  Next time I start the awesome miner it is still v. 1.05.
Win 7-64 currently using v1.05.  Please advise.

Lol apologies. Had a few beverages last night :p
 I'm running the remote agent and not the remote service on my GPU miners but there is no GPU statistics showing.
Also to get privledged access to the s3 api, patrike suggested editing the /etc/init.d/cgminer file but it seems there is nothing there on the s3. Axiste have you managed to get privledged api access (changing pools etc from awesome miner) on your s3's?

In this case I would recommend you to uninstall Awesome Miner first. Go to Control Panel, Programs and Features, select Awesome Miner and then Uninstall. Your configuration will not be removed when doing the uninstallation, as they are saved in your user configuration folder.

Next step is to download and install the latest version (currently 1.0.6) from the web site:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download.aspx

I know that a few users had issues with the automatic upgrades, and there are changes for this in version 1.0.6 to better prepare the upgrades for future versions.

If you connect via Remote Desktop or similar to the remote miners, you should see the Cgminer/Sgminer text based window. Does that one show any GPU statistics like temperature and fan speed?

Hi, I'm using free version awesome miner 1.05 with sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-07-20-win32, only 1 GPU.
-Setting a Group pools with 6 pools NicehashX11, NicehashX13, NicehashX15, WesthashX11, Westhash X13, and WesthashX15.
-Each pool has its own advanced setting, but all has the same setting.
The problem is: only 5 pools were appear in sgminer, pool NicehashX13 is not appear, but all of them appear in awesome miner interface and NicehashX13 is Alive.
Then I remove them all, and add them again, the problem is still the same.
Some help please?

I only have an S1, however should be the same. I havnt got Priveleged on it yet, I did find how on google, but I think I ran into issues as I am running a custom upgraded version of CGMiner on it, not the default that is in the last firmware.

Can you please send me your Awesome Miner log file? It can be accessed from Options dialog, Advanced section. Sent it to info[at]awesomeminer.com
Thanks!
