Edit: so after some more discussion with the person who owns the miner, the problem is that awesome miner defaults to an allows someone to do this.
It should not even be an option in the GUI
Thanks for your detailed feedback.
...
Firstly, there is a simple fix to this:
AM knows it's own IP address so that should be the default (and normally the only option)

It shouldn't allow W:0/0 ever.
I really can see no reason why anyone would set their miner to W:0/0 unless they have no idea what they are doing, thus defaulting to AM's IP would be the correct answer for the ignorant.
Having it as an 'easy' fix to make your miner wide open to known viruses is REALLY bad and a major security flaw.
(especially since AM is Windows and the known viruses are Windows also)
Since you've ignored this simple fix to your massive security hole in your software, and others have also fallen into this trap since then ...

I'll quote it again and point out that you REALLY should fix it since there is NO reason to give a box option to use W:0/0

If someone is smart enough to know what W:0/0 is (and it should NOT be suggested anywhere in the software, documentation or support) they can of course enter it themselves.

If they have NO idea what they are doing, it should default to the AM PC IP address that it ALREADY knows as I suggested above ... months ago.
After the discussion last time, I did go ahead with a few changes where it was made much easier for a user to select a good configuration. The users are given these four options since several months ago:
- This computer
- This network
- Any computer (less secure)
- Custom IP access rule

By introducing "This computer" and "This network", Awesome Miner made it easier for the users to do the right thing without having to type IP addresses and access rules. Users doesn't have to learn and write the IP access syntax correctly, as Awesome Miner will secure it for you.

I did however not remove the "Any computer" option, but it's clearly stated in the user interface that this option is "less secure".

The changes made was clearly a move in a good direction by making it easier to select a good configuration and warn about the option that isn't secure.

I understand your point about removing this "less secure" option completely from the user interface. It would of course make it even more likely that a user pick a good configuration. I will make this change in the next release - to remove the option "Any computer (less secure)". Thanks!

Hi Patrik,

now in the winter months I need an alarm if my rigs running too cold for like 2 minutes. But no alarm in the few seconds the miner switchs and the rigs have no work (but temperature drops fast).

This can protect them from condensation if anything happens because the temperature drops below the ambient for a certain period of time. In the summer months it can be a great rule too, but vice versa for running to hot. Right now I can only do an alarm if the temperatur drops below a number, even if its not necessary, because of some seconds miner switching.

Is it possible to add in the rules -> Device Temperature a "x minutes ago" value (like in Check Statistics Hashrate, Shares, ...)?

So we can add rules to check a temperature over time, not just right now. Like 1 minute ago and 5 minutes ago, or something like that.

Or is it maybe already possible somehow? If yes, how?

Any pointers as to where I can find a working example of adding a new coin to Awesome Miner? A coin which is not listed on WhatToMine. I found where I can get the price,difficulty and such for this coin, but I cannot make it to be read by Awesome Miner. Is there a tutorial about that somewhere?

Hey Patrik,

I cant run the SRBMulti miner at RandomX Nicehash.

If I add --nicehash true in the Profit Profile/Additional Command Line Arguments, SRB starts, but ignores the Nicehash tag. All shares will be rejected.

I've just pushed a Software Definition Update where SrbMiner-Multi 0.1.8 is included. This new version works better with Nicehash RandomX.

hi patrike

Mainer Profit profile need separate parameter field for dual mining scenario, at the moment we can save in profile only one parameter set, or for normal mining, or for dual. And this is a problem.

Please remove HTML tags if "Copy to clipboard " function in benchmark dialog will be used.
  LBRY;CcMiner 2.3.1;2,2 GH/s, 1066 W (02.12.2019, v2.3.1);2,17 GH/s, 1055 W

Regards
Thanks for the feedback.

1) Although Awesome Miner should setup the dual mining, I assume you want to customize the parameters depending on if dual mining is used or not. Could you please give an example of which mining software and parameters you are using, and I will see if there are any workarounds available already. Thanks!

2) I will adjust the copy-feature like you suggested.

Hey Patrik,

I cant run the SRBMulti miner at RandomX Nicehash.

If I add --nicehash true in the Profit Profile/Additional Command Line Arguments, SRB starts, but ignores the Nicehash tag. All shares will be rejected.

These are the details:
Code:
Instance ID: 2, Process ID: xxxxx
Started: 02.12.2019 16:51:57
Command line arguments:   --nicehash true --api-enable --api-port 4029

And the configuration in Details:
Code:
{
"pools" :
[
{"pool_use_tls" : false, "keepalive" : false, "pool" : "randomxmonero.eu.nicehash.com:3380", "wallet" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "password" : "x", "nicehash" : true}
]
}
config.txt:
{
  "algorithm": "randomx",
  "reboot_script_gpu_watchdog": "awesome-restart.bat"
}


If I add "randomx --nicehash true" in the Options/Managed Software/SRBMiner/User Defined Command Line Arguments, SRB wont start. Diagnostic says: Unexpected exit of mining software. Possible cause: Incorrect configuration or crashing software
Diagnostics completed.

Do I miss something here or is the config file somehow broken for Nicehash? Thanks for the help!

I think it`s not very actual now ...

Hey, need better profit/data/api for sub 1 satoshi coins
Hi. Is there a specific coin or example where Awesome Miner doesn't do what it should? Or was it more in general you would like to see coin statistics for some new coins?

It was general and specific.
Specific case in point, Turtle coin. Price is sub 1 sats, but is mineable and has value. Markets are in LTC and ETH.
Thanks. I've received similar feedback from @dasch about that it would be good to support ETH and other pairs than BTC for the exchange rate. The Dynamic Data Source concept would have to be extended to support reading values other than BTC.

Is profit calculation for Monero RandomX working?  I'm showing $0.00 per day with 3kH/s.  I tried overriding the coin algorithm under the Statistics Providers settings but it didn't help.

This coin requires the "Exponential Factor" to be set to 0.
Workaround: Open the Properties for the Monero Coin and override this specific property to be 0.

I will make an update in the next release to automatically do this for Monero.

Has anyone configured Bminer with f2pool on Grin31? I think I have tried every configuration I can think of in AM. Gminer works great. But would love to try Bminer. Thanks
If the exact same pool parameters works fine on Gminer, but fails on Bminer, it might be some incompatibilty issue related to Bminer you run into here. Please also note that Gminer is frequently updated with new releases while Bminer hasn't been updated for quite a while now.
