[ANN] Miner Control 1.6.1 - Auto profit switching miner controller

[kalen37]

OK, so I get miner control config'd and the control panel comes up. When I hit auto eventually all status displays as dead. Help!?

error log:

Type: InvalidOperationException
Message: Sequence contains no elements

over and over

First, try launching a miner manually (start button on the price grid).  If it doesn't start then you have a config error causing the miner to go dead.

Best guess is an error in your conf file.  If you provide a copy of it I can take a look.  Most likely you are not getting any valid miner entries from the file so trying to determine the best paying algo throws an error.

Try running with the sample conf file bundled with the executable.  Put in your Bitcoin address and TMB key.  Start modifying from there to put your own miner information in.

Is "ccminer-52.exe" in the same folder as MinerControl.exe?

Also, try double-clicking directly on the ccminer-52.exe executable.  If you get a windows security message make sure you select to not show the error again.  This can cause errors if Windows blocks the program from running.

And again, try using the start buttons on the individual price entries to see what happens.

ccminer-52.exe is in the same folder as minercontroller.exe as is msvcr120.dll.

Double clicking on ccminer-52 directly causes it to flash and go away faster then I can read what the window says.

clicking on "start" button the status goes to "running" the box next to it with time stays at all zero. While the time next to the AUTO button increments, at 2 minutes on the top panel and still all zero's on the row.

oh, and no ccminer (dos-like) window opens

Try putting a batch file in the folder with a full launch command for ccminer along with a pause afterward.  It feels like something is going wrong with the launch.  If the miner exits immediately then MC will declare the entry dead which appears to be what you are seeing.

You're not running heavy algo, are you? I remember this being an issue some time ago with the miner, are you sure it is the newest version?

nope, not running heavy.
OK, so I deleted all ccminer programs. Went and redownladed ccminer 1.4. When I extract it there is only ccminer, no ccminer-52. I put ccminer with both .dll that came with it.
 Now minercontrol launches and when I hit "auto" it goes to one algo and runs. Has been running for 22 minutes now. But how can you tell if it's actually doing anything. Trademybit has a worker build but no update.

oh, and GPU isn't even stressing a little.

CCminer won't launch. It's still doing the flash and then gone thing. When I use the batch file it's still has the heavy coin message. Just the minercontrol program is running.

ADD: OK, I just searched and found ccminer 1.44. Downloaded and added it to minercontrol folder with msvcr120.dll and now I'm back to ccminer not running and miner control showing "dead" status for everything.

That's the one I've been using as well.  I have a feeling that kalen is using a patched version of ccminer for heavycoin which is ignoring the algorithm selection and always trying to go with heavycoin.  nvminer is the way to go if you are going to mine the algos above on an nVIDIA card.

deleted all ccminer/cuda/minercontrol copies off my computer and emptied recycle bin. Downloaded ccminer 1.44 and miner control 1.3. Re-did conf file same result.

 Will try nvminer and update conf file with nvminer.exe, any other files from the nvminer folder need to go in minercontrol?

I'm surprised that anyone using ccMiner doesn't check the main CUDAmining thread on this forum, or their website for the latest releases.

Actually, djm's latest version of ccMiner has all the same optimizations as nvMiner, plus a slightly better averaging of your hashrate, and includes optimization for the M7 algorithm (which nvMiner doesn't support at all).  If you want a "one-miner-fits-all" that still has all the speed of previous versions, then djm's M7 version of ccMiner is the way to go.  Look through their thread to find it, unless djm has finally gotten around to uploading it to the CUDAmining website.
And of course, once you start to get some income from your mining efforts, be sure to send a few coins their way.  After all, you wouldn't be mining anything of value if it weren't for them writing the software you're using!  (same goes for StuffOfInterest…keep the donation mining turned on, so he gets rewarded for his work too)

EDIT:  Yes, his M7 version is there, called m7v7, right at the top of the ccMiner list.  That's the version I would recommend!

That's the one I've been using as well.  I have a feeling that kalen is using a patched version of ccminer for heavycoin which is ignoring the algorithm selection and always trying to go with heavycoin.  nvminer is the way to go if you are going to mine the algos above on an nVIDIA card.

Actually, djm's latest version of ccMiner has all the same optimizations as nvMiner, plus a slightly better averaging of your hashrate, and includes optimization for the M7 algorithm (which nvMiner doesn't support at all).  If you want a "one-miner-fits-all" that still has all the speed of previous versions, then djm's M7 version of ccMiner is the way to go.  Look through their thread to find it, unless djm has finally gotten around to uploading it to the CUDAmining website.
And of course, once you start to get some income from your mining efforts, be sure to send a few coins their way.  After all, you wouldn't be mining anything of value if it weren't for them writing the software you're using!  (same goes for StuffOfInterest…keep the donation mining turned on, so he gets rewarded for his work too)

EDIT:  Yes, his M7 version is there, called m7v7, right at the top of the ccMiner list.  That's the version I would recommend!

Interesting.  Thanks for that tidbit.  I haven't been following the ccminer thread that closely lately and had missed this.

I really wish the various authors working to improve ccminer/nvminer would get together and put their work into a github repository so that we could move towards a single source tree again.

Ok. Nvminer worked. But shortly after it was running my system crashed and doesn't seem to want to recover. Tried earlier restore point system disk. Any suggestions?

Yeah, that would be the most efficient way to manage it.

Kalen, what numbers are you getting, what does the miner say? Do you get any yay's?

YAY's ?
CCminer won't launch. It's still doing the flash and then gone thing. When I use the batch file it's still has the heavy coin message. Just the minercontrol program is running.

ADD: OK, I just searched and found ccminer 1.44. Downloaded and added it to minercontrol folder with msvcr120.dll and now I'm back to ccminer not running and miner control showing "dead" status for everything.
CCMINER bat gives heavy coin error.

Get Nvminer v1.2U-D8 - 25-08-2014 here: http://cudamining.co.uk/url/releases

Working fine for x11, x13, x15, nist5.

I'm surprised that anyone using ccMiner doesn't check the main CUDAmining thread on this forum, or their website for the latest releases.

it might have something to do with the god awful amount of threads and pages of said threads. Nevermind I found it.
Hopefully it doesn't crash my system like nvminer did.

Hey, can I make a feature request?

I would like for another tab to display average earning.
Example: You mine Option A, with an earning of 0.01 for 2 hours, and Option B, with an earning of 0.02 for 1 hour. In total, you would earn 0.04 over 3 hours, making it an average earning of 0.0133 (repeating).

Of course, in real life, the earnings would fluctuate more, so I would propose just dividing the total earned with the total mining time. This could also be done per service, per algo and per option.

Another good multi-algo pool would be ipoMiner. They support scrypt, x11 and x13.

Hi everybody! Good job with this tool, author-of-miner-control!
Donation mining is all good, but it's different to be thanked personally!

I am coming from AMD mining and I must say nvidia one is not very easy (automating it).
I've been looking at different miners, but I guess they are all based on ccminer / cudaminer...
And none of them have pools configuration. Like set up priority for pools etc...

I am saying all this, because it would be awesome if you can set Miner Control
to fail-over switch between pool 1, 2 or 3 in that order (if 1 and 2 are dead too switch to 3)
and if they are all dead to switch between pools 4,5 and 6 based on profit...

Anybody know if I can do that with Miner Control, or any of the miners, or any other tool out there?
