Hi patrike,
could you please add support for the [Hspminer]fastest aeterntiy miner 2.1.2 in your next release?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5092501.20
as it was real the fastest AE miner for NV cards.
thanks
Thanks for the suggestion. This could be a candidate so I will explore it. could you please add support for the [Hspminer]fastest aeterntiy miner 2.1.2 in your next release?

Waiting for bminer 14.3..
Bminer 14.3.1 is included in the most recent development preview of Awesome Miner:https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49725614
It will also be part of the public release Awesome Miner 6.2 that is planned for tomorrow.

any ETA for having ability to define own config files for the miners (like SRB - there are outdated algos and new algos i have to choose a non-used algo)
This request is noted, but I've not yet had a chance to implement a feature for this. I've been thinking of making some flexible concept for producing configuration files that could be used for any mining software. February 14, 2019, 09:41:06 AM
Please make it possible to disable useless columns in "online services" or add an option to disable column autowidth, because my own width for columns with reset after restart of program and i have to ajust them again if i want to see usefull info for me. For example i dont pay for electricity, but i still have two columns with same info revenue and profit, but i cant see 24h pool payment without ajusting other columns and i dont use Awesome miner in full screen mode.
Good point. I've had some similar suggestions in the past to have a manual column width concept. I will start by introducing that for the Coins and Online Services tabs.I will add a configuration option for this, probably in the General section of the Options dialog.

Unrelated issue. I've got 3 rigs with 1060 3GB cards mining BEAM using GMiner. Since the Equihash 150.5 algo requires just shy of 3GB of VRAM, I'm running those rigs on HIVEOS for now.
I'm monitoring then from AM as External miners by looking at port 42010. This works fine except the earnings are not showing up. When I right click and "Define coin for pool", I select BEAM. However, nothing is showing and if I go back to "Define coin for poo"l again, it has reverted back to BTC.
Also, on these External miners, when I click on the Pools tab, it shows the Grin29 pool my managed miners are connected to, not the BEAM pool these miners are actually mining on. On my Managed miners, I can of course select the pool each rig is mining on, but for External rigs, this is not possible. I do see the GPUs and hash rates as AM is picking that up from the GMiner API.
I don't know if something changes, but I seem to recall AM being able to show earnings for External miners in the past.
In general you should be able to view the mining income via External Miners as well. I just did some tests with Gminer here and I could see the issue you describe. The problem is that Awesome Miner didn't report any pool in this case, resulting in that the Pools tab wasn't updated correctly when you select the miner and the Define Pool Coin didn't work either.I'm monitoring then from AM as External miners by looking at port 42010.

Ok, everything understood. I have already changed all the equipment to native OC, it works very well and the change is minimal. I only had the doubt of where to look at the oc that had been applied, once I looked at it. I no longer have problems.
MSI SERVER goes well but when it fails in 1 rig, you have to change the name and the folder and the task in all the machines. That was very annoying, it has already happened 12 times ..... I hope that with the native system everything is more stable.
The only thing I'm going to miss, is to see temperature graphs, but I can live without that.
Everything is better if you manage it AM natively, I do not do extreme OC, but I look for a configuration without exaggerating for each OC, now everything is much more controlled.
I also have great news about the nVidia RTX GPU's - the fan control will very soon be supported. Once the implementation is ready and tested, it will be part of the next development release.
What a good update and how many new features in GPU now review them.
I have seen with pleasure the arrangement of the coins per day, and in the first tests and measurements, now if it is correct, it did not affect the profit but it was very confusing. Now it shows a correct number and works as it should.
When I see the GPU news, if I have questions, I will ask, I already use only the native mode

"Coins/day: " + Math.Round(miningHelper.GetCoinsPerDay(), 4)
@patrike, I have a little problem. I leave you a capture so you can see that by configuration I added the coins per day.
The problem is the following. When I change the profit in a currency, this is reflected in the daily profit, even in coins that you recently included. But the coins per day do not change. It does not matter if I put 0.7 that the 1.5 coins per day that I calculate do not change, I understand why the profit factor does not affect the formula for the stamping of coins a day.
For me it is important, because when measuring pools / currencies to know their real profit and then put the resulting profit, this is not reflected in the currencies per day.
Please could you tell me how to improve the configuration line or that you fix it in the next update. It does not make sense for a currency to put a profit of 0.80, effectively falling into the daily profit, but the coins remain the same.
My recommendation, in my ignorance, is that it would be more appropriate for the PROFIT factor to affect the HASH, in that way it will affect the price and the coins per day.
I think that from what I see, the profit only affects the price, therefore it does not affect the currencies per day because it is fixed in the HASH
I hope to give some solution

Right now the Profit Factor is applied after calculating the number of coins, to increase/decrease the revenue and profit of the coin. A better way of viewing it is to increase/decrease the number of coins you get per day like you point out. I will update the next release for this to at least consider the Profit Factor of a coin. It will unfortunately be a bit complex if you also consider the Pool Profit Factor here, but I will take a look at what is possible for that one as well.
Edit: I've implemented this for Pool Profit Factor as well
I am impatient waiting for an update with the correction of the currencies .... It is important that the profit affects the currencies day. I am realizing with grin, where I estimate 7.4, it does not matter what elprofit I put, and I get around 4.8, if my profit of 0.80 were applied, it would be close enough. But now it is difficult to measure pools / coins without that correct information.

I just did a test in a small rig. I have stopped MSI SERVER and in AM I have put the OC to be awesome miner.
I have forced several changes of something with different OC but in the rig the OC has not moved. I have left Aftherburner installed to know if the OC changes.
When I finished testing I went back to the usual with MSI SERVER and changed to AM and left it as usual.
That rig gave me problems, I had to go to the GPU and do the Mapping of the GPUs again to make it work.
As you said no info in your documentation please post the link here when you update it. I would like to use the most stable system. Sometimes the MSI SERVER stops working and you have to change the name of the folder in all the RIGS.
Right now I'm still with Aftherburne and MSI SERVER until there's more information on how to use your new OC version correctly.
I've updated the documentation page for GPU overclocking. It also contains information about how to troubleshoot if needed.I have forced several changes of something with different OC but in the rig the OC has not moved. I have left Aftherburner installed to know if the OC changes.

https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000086015-gpu-overclocking
Please note that for several of the OC settings, it's not possible to use MSI Afterburner to detect if it's applied correctly. For some settings, MSI Afterburner must be restarted for the new settings to show up and for a few other settings MSI Afterburner have it's own way of reading/setting clocking so any changes you define using other applications will not show up. For this reason I pointed out in the documentation that you should use the Reload-button in Awesome Miner to verify the settings.
The other problem is RTX, if it is not able to handle the fans, what happens? Use the auto factory curve or change that speed even if it is auto.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/35035563191/original/8L1-EJMif7gbZAi0OwGVkHxybSqvwDrfng?1549753601
There is no need to click the Reload button all the time - it's mainly intended for reloading all data you currently see in the GPU settings dialog for troubleshooting purposes. You can always open the GPU settings dialog to view the current clocking properties.
For the moment, the Native Overclocking will not touch the fan property on RTX cards. If you have them on "auto" speed which is the default, they will remain at "auto" even when you use Awesome Miner. If you used any other application to force a specific fan speed, that specific fan speed will remain.
The plan is of course to resolve this limitation.

You refer to that button on the right, restart monitoring? If that is the case, you could make the restart every single change of OC. Aftherburner is good because at first glance you can see the OC applied, here it does not seem so easy to know the OC. You could show the name of the OC profile in the Coins tab
The other problem is RTX, if it is not able to handle the fans, what happens? Use the auto factory curve or change that speed even if it is auto.

----------------------------
Troubleshooting
Use the GPU settings dialog, via the toolbar Tools -> GPU Settings) for adjusting GPU settings on a single GPU to verify that all settings works as expected
To verify if the GPU settings were applied successfully, use the Reload button in the GPU settings dialog to reload all properties from the AMD and nVidia GPU drivers.
If the values show up as expected, the GPU settings and overclocking operations have been successfully applied
If one or more settings didn't have the expected value, please report which GPU model and which setting that didn't work together with the Awesome Miner log file.
Do not use the MSI Afterburner application to check if the GPU settings were applied successfully. MSI Afterburner uses different overclocking concepts than other applications and may not display the current GPU settings correctly when set from other applications.
-----------------------------------
I have done a test and I do not see results. On one side of his help he says that you have to reload or update to see if the changes are reflected. I could leave a capture of that menu, sometimes the translations are not perfect.
It is not advisable to have MSI aftherburner installed, but it also does not indicate whether a change has been made. That's why it's important that you identify that GPU window for the native OC
If the native mode is not compatible with the RTX fans. How do we control them? Do they only go by car?
For me the important thing is to know if the OC changes are applied using the native mode, but I do not identify which part of the program I have to give to see the changes, I would appreciate a capture.
-------------
Bminer problems.
Now I have been seeing that if it is true that it does not need to include the -al-go in the miner's configuration. In fact it works for me with many algos, but when I tried it it was with tensory and there if it is true that it does not work, I suppose it will be the miner's own fault.
The point is that MSI Afterburner works a bit differently than other overclocking tools you will find, and even if an application correctly set some GPU properties and clocks - there are scenarios where MSI Afterburner simply doesn't show all these changes in the user interface.
For this reason it's very difficult to use MSI Afterburner to verify if specific clocking settings have been successfully applied or not.
When testing and doing troubleshooting, it's typically better to use the "Reload" button in Awesome Miner. When you click this one Awesome Miner will forget about all GPU properties and read all the values from the nVidia/AMD driver API's again. If the clocking properties show up correctly after a "Reload" it's a good indications that they have been set correctly.
Example of how you can test the clocking with Awesome Miner, using the GPU settings dialog
1) Change one or several properties, like Core Clock Boost, Memory Clock Boost, Power Limit, ...
2) Click Apply. Now all settings should be applied
3) If you want to verify, click the Reload button. Awesome Miner will ask the nVidia/AMD drivers for the current settings and display them.
4) In case a property isn't what you expect it to be, please let me know:
a) GPU model
b) Name of the Property that didn't work and what you tried to set it to
c) The log file from the Remote Agent
You can also find many GPU related properties via the new "GPU Report" button in the Diagnostics dialog. I will also add this button to the GPU settings dialog in the next release. This one will be really good for seeing all GPU properties.
For RTX-2000 fans, I think MSI Afterburner is the only application that can modify it right now and they must have some secret way of doing that. I don't think any other OC application can modify the fan speed of RTX cards yet as the nVidia driver API reports that it isn't supported and prevents it. The plan is of course to try to find a way to support setting fan speed on these GPU's as well.

Unrelated issue. I've got 3 rigs with 1060 3GB cards mining BEAM using GMiner. Since the Equihash 150.5 algo requires just shy of 3GB of VRAM, I'm running those rigs on HIVEOS for now.
I'm monitoring then from AM as External miners by looking at port 42010. This works fine except the earnings are not showing up. When I right click and "Define coin for pool", I select BEAM. However, nothing is showing and if I go back to "Define coin for poo"l again, it has reverted back to BTC.
Also, on these External miners, when I click on the Pools tab, it shows the Grin29 pool my managed miners are connected to, not the BEAM pool these miners are actually mining on. On my Managed miners, I can of course select the pool each rig is mining on, but for External rigs, this is not possible. I do see the GPUs and hash rates as AM is picking that up from the GMiner API.
I don't know if something changes, but I seem to recall AM being able to show earnings for External miners in the past.
In general you should be able to view the mining income via External Miners as well. I just did some tests with Gminer here and I could see the issue you describe. The problem is that Awesome Miner didn't report any pool in this case, resulting in that the Pools tab wasn't updated correctly when you select the miner and the Define Pool Coin didn't work either.I'm monitoring then from AM as External miners by looking at port 42010.

A solution will be available in the next release. Thanks for finding it.

I assume you only have one single Host for this Linux miner defined in the Options dialog, Managed Hosts section. This host must have the "Linux" checkbox active and there shouldn't be any other hosts in the list connecting to the same computer. Can you verify this?
Yes, I only have a single host defined for this specific miner. I did have a windows hosts defined previously that I deleted and replaced with the nvOC based one. But this was also the case for the first rig that I converted from Windows to nvOC. One note on this is that I had to restart AM before it would "pick up" the first rig that I switched from windows to nvOC. And yes, I do have the "Linux" checkbox checked.

Can you also review the Awesome Miner application log file for any error message about this connection problem?
How do I access this log?
Also, will setting GPU clocks, power levels and fan control be a future option for the Linux remote agent?
btw, I really like the recently added native control of these with the windows version. So much simpler than having to use the Afterburner remote agent.
One thing I found is that I had to re-create my GPU Clocking Profiles as the old ones did not include the temp target values.
The Awesome Miner log file can be found via the toolbar Tools -> Log File.
The latest development release of Awesome Miner includes GPU clocking and fan speed changes on Linux as well. This will be part of the public 6.2 release, planned to be available in a few days.
Thanks for the nice feedback on the Native Overclocking feature. The main purpose is that it should be easier to use. Your observations about which GPU properties that are available via MSI Afterburner and Awesome Miner may not always be the same - depending on which GPU's you have.
