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

[ghotiphry]

It looks like YAAMP has corrected their API by changing the port from - to 0.

I was getting the following error:

I checked my conf file, I had set a new pool for YAAMP for quark, but had forgotten to add in the algorithm.  My mistake, I'm good now.

Have any one experience random freez up on the host PC   running 1.4.3 

[StuffOfInterest]

Just posted version 1.4.4.  Bug fixes and some explicit examples for X14 and quark on YAAMP.

Have any one experience random freez up on the host PC   running 1.4.3  

The whole PC or is just Miner Control refusing to respond?

If it is the later, I just put out version 1.4.5 which addresses a condition where Miner Control would freeze if an invalid miner program is specified in the config.

Added Neoscrypt on Yaamp.com It still opens another window but does run and MC does kill it for me.  I get 48K on my single GPU Rig, but only 140K on my 6 card rig.   I am using their cgminer and I do not know what settings to try on the multi card rig.  I am getting a lot of waiting for work from pool. which I think is effecting my performance.

Go here to get gpu miner (I have 750ti)  https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7780-neoscrypt-gpu-miner-public-beta-test/

     	]

UPDATE:  If you have issues where it just seems to shut down with in 30 seconds of starting or you are getting Postcalc_hjash thread issues, mine was after I updated the graphics driver,  Go to the cgminer folder and delete the .bin file(s) that has the name of your graphics card in it.  (neoscrypt140909GeForce GTX 750 Tigmgc1048576w256l4.bin)  Then try again.  It fixed my problem.

Thank you, i repair some Login and reduce error. but i do not understand mapping error to Login server

Make sure you set your apikey to the correct value.  "mykey" is there as a placeholder.  You'll have to get your own key from the account settings page at the TradeMyBit website.  From the error information you sent me via PM (below) it looks like access denied errors when trying to access the service.

The config file needs considerable customization for each user's application.  That is why there are two examples in the first post to show how to customize it.  You can't just drop in a config file and run.

For everyone, regarding reporting issues, please don't PM me the error reports.  Post them in the thread.  More people than just me watch the thread and may be able to help.

Quick question for those using Miner Control.  How many separate rigs do you run on one network with the software?  The answer has implications for a new feature I'm working on.

I run on two PCs at home.  One I don't look at very often.

Thanks.

I run 6 rigs, only one is a dedicated rig with 6x750ti.

1, but I could start up a old gaming PC for fun.

I'm currently running it on two separate dedicated rigs with 6x750ti each.

Great work

[frazier34567]

I have 2 Rigs using 3 instances MC (2 GPU Mining, 1 SCRYPT ASIC Mining).  They all are running separate instances of MC.

I do not know if with the right config file you could run them all from 1 instance of MC, depending on what software is running on each rig.

2 Rigs here.
If u come with an app that do all the api request, and then every Minercontrol on the same network to connect to the app it will be great :p

[tarzanbigcity]

3 rigs here. 2x with 6 750TI SC and 1x with 3 970's.

[Beulemann]

first:
big thanks for this nice software

second:
traymode seems no to work for me.
i start the program with the param -a and set traymode=2 in config, but it is only minimized not send to tray after start.
only if i click the minimize button, then it goes to tray

third:
only 1 small rig here

[StuffOfInterest]

second:
traymode seems no to work for me.
i start the program with the param -a and set traymode=2 in config, but it is only minimized not send to tray after start.
only if i click the minimize button, then it goes to tray

Traymode doesn't affect how it starts only where it goes when it is minimized. "-a" autostarts but doesn't adjust the visibility.  I never did anything regarding a start mode.  Will add it to the wish list.

And now the reason why I was asking how many miner machines everyone operates.

Just released Miner Control 1.5.0.  This release introduces the ability to send console output between instances of Miner Control.  Have all of your miners that you don't watch all the time configured with '"remotesend": true' in the general config section.  On the machine which you do watch, add '"remotereceive": true' to the general config section.  You will see a new tab labeled 'remote'.  All console output from the machines configured to send will be echoed in the remote window.

Communication is handled through IP multicast traffic so you can have multiple receivers for the same output.  This traffic will not traverse routers so it will only work within a local network.  Multicast IP is something I've been interested in for 20 years so it's nice to have a chance to use it in a real world application.  Hope you multi-miner operators find it useful.

Wow, very usefull feature but imo needs some tweaking.

So at the moment all the miners on the same network are shown in the remote tab. If you only have 2 graphics cards on two mining rigs it's not a problem but if you have more, you can't keep track of all the data being processed. I suggest instead of using remote tab, add a new tab named "worker" which uses worker flag from config for every miner on the network, to display the progress, so you can manually check each miner. Second request - not sure if possible but any chance of windows XP support. Currently when you use new version with new config, it won't show up the prices and you have to kill it manually (task manager).

Once again thank you for developing and maintaining this awesome app.

I'm planning to break out the multiple remote streams at some point.  Walk before run.  Two ways I'm looking towards are to either 1) have a dropdown list on the remote console where you can select the machine to watch or 2) spawn off a new remote tab for each system which reports in.  I also hope to add more status information for the remote systems such as what they are currently mining and for what net profit.

The XP problem bugs me.  I didn't change the build target so it should still work on XP as it did before.  Try turning off remote send and remote receive and see if that returns it to working again. FYI, the first time I started up the new version my windows firewall asked for confirmation that it should allow the program to open up a network connection.

Finally, just put out 1.5.1 this morning.  Turns out I used a multicast address in a range that was not appropriate for the intended use.  New version switches to a more appropriate address.  Unfortunately, this means that all miners need to be updated or they won't be looking at the same place.  Another future option will include the ability to set the multicast address manually so you can customize for your own environment.

Greate app! Thanks.
I want to force miner in separate windows, to see temperature per card and other stuff. This way is mess.
Is there solution for that?
Thanks.
