my antivirus keeps on blocking the miners...never had any problems with any miners except those downloaded by your program....
When using the automatic download feature in Awesome Miner, a zip-file will be downloaded from the official download location if still available. As a fallback, an identical copy of the original zip-file can be automatically downloaded from the Awesome Miner web site.

However, most anti-virus software warn about cgminer and similar mining software because they are being used by trojans and other malware. If you run into this problem, you can always manually download cgminer / sgminer and configure Awesome Miner to that use that downloaded instance instead.


Thanks for your great software. There is a feature that I think Awesomeminer lacks. Please consider adding “Auto Update" feature to Awesomeminer, like any other applications even with schedule. It is a pain in the neck if you have multiple rigs, and every week, you use a remote session to go and click on update manually with high pings and delays. It is so easy for you to add this feature.
Thanks for the suggestion.

The general idea is to have a single Awesome Miner installed on one computer, and then run Remote Agent on all other computers you do GPU mining on. Then you only need to have one Awesome Miner to upgrade, and upgrading each Remote Agent is only a matter of clicking the 'Upgrade Remote Agent' button in the toolbar.

patrike -

thanks! it does now show the hash rate and thus the estimated revenue/profit for the BW L21 now - the only other thing I notice is that the pool that shows is the pool #2 - it does not show what pool the miner is actually on. for example, if I put one pool in - it shows nothing. If I put two pools in, it shows the second one, even if the miner is mining on the first one.
I do understand your point here. The priority of the first pool has a higher number (crazy high as in 16842752) when reported from the ASIC miner, when it in fact should be priority 0. The second pool has priority 1. For this reason Awesome Miner will consider the second pool to be active.

This is another case where the BW L21 ASIC doesn't report correct information, but I will adjust Awesome Miner to consider very high priority numbers to be 0 instead. Priority 0 is the current active pool.

Hey Patrik,

I think I already asked this sometime before, but couldnt show a picture and details because this happens very rare.

- One or more cards are crashed. The mining window is still open, but isnt mining anymore.
- In AM it still shows "mining", but without any informations. AM will not restart that miner.
- The "GPU" tab is empty, also the "Pools" tab.

Is it possible to setup a rule to catch this? Or maybe AM can handle this automatically? I already tried some rules, but none works. Neither a single rule, or combined rules. For example:

- The trigger "Detect Miner State -> Mining" doesnt work.
- "Detect Device Count -> 0" doesnt work.
- "Power Usage -> 0" doesnt work.

I think because there is no miner API established because of the crash, even if the mining window is still open?

Hey Patrik,

just got that situation again with the new T-Rex version in one of my single miners. Will send you the API-report by PM.

I think I know why this can happen:

- The profit switcher switched from NBminer to T-Rex, but NBminer wasn't closed for real. It is already running in the background (but depending to the pool with 0 hashrate).
- So there are 2 miners now and AM can't show the numbers for the T-Rex.

Is it somehow possible to double check (and kill) old unneeded tasks? Tried it with a batch command when NBminer stops, but this doesn't work all the time (taskkill /F /IM nbminer.exe).

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the details. I can see from the API Report the T-Rex doesn't return anything and the reason is likely that NBminer uses the API port already, preventing T-Rex from using this port.

Would it be possible for you to also send me the Remote Agent log file for the time where NBMiner was supposed to be closed? You should be able to see log messages like "Closing process" and maybe even "Killing process".

What Awesome Miner do when closing mining software is to first send a friendly request to close down. Awesome Miner will then wait for the process to terminate (a number of seconds, configurable in the Options dialog, Mining Settings section), and if the process is still running, Awesome Miner tells Windows to kill the process.


Hey Patrik,

sent you the log file by PM and some more thoughts about that problem.

I wanted to make a special request that person who knows how to do the following. We have AM option before starting a new mining after a change to execute some file type .bat or Visual basic. What I'm looking for is a file to be thrown at the end of mining a coin that will clean my memory and clean up temporary.

I have detected that many times after a change of currency in auto profit, if I go with 4 gb of ram, the next coin does not enter with all the hash of should. This is noted in some protocols more than others.

if someone has a file of this type, which hangs here, I would be very grateful and I need to do a memory and temporary cleaning between currency changes. What's more, I think it should be something already incorporated to AM to make it even more stable. But if someone already has the file done, I would appreciate it if you shared it.

I shouldn't have to set any power usage for my miners. I'm getting power usage from the firmware.

As you can see in the summary, since I'm running asicFW firmware, I have power usage for each board.

As per https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000104685-power-consumption-and-profitability
Quote
Power consumption and profitability

Introduction
Awesome Miner can read and display the current power usage of both nVidia and AMD GPU's, independent of which mining software being used.

ASIC miners in general doesn't have any feature where they can report the power usage and for this reason Awesome Miner cannot display the actual power usage, only manually configured values for power usage together with linear power scaling based on the current hashrate.

It's currently only ASIC miners running the custom firmware AsicFW that can report power usage to Awesome Miner.


It's very nice to have power usage per board.

I'm looking to have an easy way to get the total of all three boards. Though I could do it with a custom progress field.
The actual power usage should be displayed in the Performance column as well, so I think the reason it doesn't show up is that Awesome Miner may not be configured to show the Actual Power usage (instead of the Static values that typically are used for ASIC's).

Please go to the Options dialog, Profitability section, and change the "Power usage mode" to one of the Actual Usage settings.

Yes that fixed it . Thank you very much Patrike !!!

Does anyone know which pool in Awesome Miner is most profitable for Nvidia gpus lately?
Thanks

try this pool  look for the zcoin pool or XZC


https://xzc.2miners.com/en


zerocoin or zcoin not zcash right now from what Ive found XZC is your best bet with Nvidia cards.


2miners is a large mining group. But for some time, they are having problems when it comes to reading the hash. You send them 108 MHS and hopefully you read that you have 98 MHS, so right now I do not use it much. But if it's a big pool, although to win with RIG, it does not matter if it's AMD or Nvidia, you'll have to always use the pool that hash the most in the currency you want to mine, it's that easy.

does AM properly support the bw L21 miners? my AM detected the miners and shows that they are mining but the stats are all wrong - no temps, doesnt show pool info, the accepted shares are in the trillions with zero rejected and zero hw errors - it also does not show the hash rate.
This miner is supported, at least previous revisions of it.

Even in the past this ASIC has always reported crazy number for the total number or share and total hashrate. What Awesome Miner do is to detect that it's a miner of this kind and then recalculate everything based on each individual ASIC device to get numbers that are accurate.

It might be that more recent revisions of this ASIC is a bit different and Awesome Miner isn't able to detect it correctly. Could you please send me the API report (toolbar: Tools -> API Report) via mail or PM and I will see what changes they might have introduced and how to do another workaround. Thanks!

pm sent with the API log
Perfect - thanks for the log!

I had to make a small adjustment to get Awesome Miner to detect this miner as a BW-L21. Once that detection was updated, it shows up fine.

nice! so in a future update?
Yes, it will be included in the next release.

eta on that update? just so I know when to use AM again for looking at profitability - it currently puts me in the red due to the 3 miners showing as using power but with zero hash rate. it doesnt even show the right pool - maybe thats why the hash rate is zero... hmm, let me try to delete the second pool.

nope that does not work. down in the bottom area where the summary area is, if i click asic it shows them hashing, it just doesnt translate up to the top. the top area seems to want the second pools information. but i cant leave pool one blank .

I will soon make a release with the BW-L21 updates. With the changes I do see hashrate, accepted shares and pools displayed correctly.

awesome and thank you!

Hi Patrik

It seems that the static method miningHelper.GetPowerUsage() doesn't work ?

I'm running asicFW.io firmware and this is what I get.



The line 1,2,3 are for list mode. This is the view in your screenshot.
The last line 1 is for compact mode.

You have customized the compact mode. To view, change the "Miner View" to compact list.

LOL he has compact view  Roll Eyes

@s3c70r
You have not set any power usage for your miners.
