PAtrick I know you can add auto exchange groups as long as they are Yiimp
But as we added Nicehash BEAM in 150.5 that is not how I can add it.

Thanks for your suggestion and nice comments.

I've not checked out that one before. Does anyone know how this one compares to lolMiner, where the latest alpha versions supports Beam on AMD OpenCL?

Awesome Miner isn't using this alpha version of lolMiner by default because it only supports this algorithm at the moment.

Bminer has been supported for a long time, both as Managed Miner and External Miner. Is there a specific API feature you are missing?

Awesome Miner is currently adding "auto" if you didn't specify any personalization string in the Properties of the Pool you have defined in Awesome Miner.

The example above was for Nicehash. Can you share the exact command line you use for Sparkpool? For sparkpool I do now that you need to add "--ssl 1" for Gminer to connect correctly.

How do you see that "--pers auto" creates a problem - do you get any error message in Gminer while connecting to Sparkpool? When I add "--pers auto" it still connects fine.

Great that you found a workaround for this issue.

Grin Pro is a bit unique as it requires the configuration file to be populated with a list of GPU's. Awesome Miner was supposed to do that but I noticed that when you tell Awesome Miner to use all GPU's (the default selection), it didn't do this correctly.

If you instead use the GPU selection feature in Awesome Miner and check each GPU individually, Awesome Miner will produce a working configuration file for Grin Pro miner.

I will of course improve this behavior in the next release to make sure it runs better when configured to use all GPU's.

Thanks for your nice feedback!

I will add AE to the next release so it shows up in the list of coins with an icon and algorithm. There are however no coin statistics provider that includes any statistics for this coin so you will not yet be able to see any mining income. Once it's supported by any of the coin statistics providers it will show up with the correct stats in Awesome Miner as well.

The "Define Pool Coin" is mapping a pool URL to a specific coin.

When you use the profit switcher in this case, is it a single coin pool you are mining on? The pools on Nicehash, zpool and so on should have the default "Unspecified X" coin as the coin isn't known.

Is your scenario like this, where both pool#1 and pool#2 are single coin pools?
1) You mine on pool#1 and the coin is Undefined. You define the coin to be A
2) The profit switcher moves on to pool#2 where the coin is Undefined as well. You define the coin to be B
3) The profit switches moves back to pool#1 - but the coin isn't remembered as A as it should be?

Hi Patrike, any chance of adding support for AMD cards for BEAM, specifically OpenCL miner:  https://www.beam.mw/downloads

Keep up the great work!

Will the API for Bminer be supported at some point?

Figured out a little workaround to get it working, in the GrinPro folder:  
    1.  Deleted the config.xml file
    2.  Ran GrinProMiner.exe
    3.  Closed it after it successfully created a new config.xml
    4.  Right clicked on the new config file and changed it to "Read Only"
    5.  Started to GRIN as I checked out my mining stats on AwesomeMiner

Hi Patrike !

When I'm minning Beam with Gminer 1.23 AM sends this command :


And the --pers auto doesn't work with sparkpool, if I remove this it works well with a bat file, but I can't manage to remove --pers auto in AM.

Thx

Hi, anyone know how to get awesomeminer to pass the correct configuration info to Grinpro miner?  Can do it manually using Grinpro of course, but when I have awesominer do it, it doesn't initialize the GPUs

Hi, Patricke. Great work. Please add an algo æternity(Cuckoo Cycle)  for the coin AE.

Best wishes.

In main "Miners" tab using the coin menu "Define Pool Coin" to select a coin, the coin logo images selected do not persist.  As soon as there is a profit switch on any other coin, the previously selected coin reverts to Unspec. "?" coin image.

This happens even with single coin algos. The profit info persists but not the coin image. v6.1.8

Awesome Miner version 6.1.8

 User interface
  - View Details dialog, Profit switching page, includes information about defined power usage for each pool considered by the profit switcher
 Mining software
  - Added mining software: Grin Pro Miner for Grin mining on both nVidia and AMD. Requires Microsoft ASP.NET Core 2.2.1 Runtime to be installed.
  - SrbMiner 1.7.7
  - CastXMR 1.7.1
  - JCE CPU miner 0.33p
  - JCE GPU miner 0.33b17
 Corrections
  - UI adjustment to Profit Profile, Override section

Please note that if you are planning to use Grin Pro Miner, you need to install ASP.NET Core 2.2.1 first:

You are right, having ConfigureWindowsDefenderExclusions=true and ConfigureWindowsDefenderAllowedApps=false made windows auto create the block rules with Profile=Private. I misunderstood what ConfigureWindowsDefenderAllowedApps=false would do.

Manually changing the allow rules created by awesome miner to block rules worked fine for me (as shown on the picture), so I will just let awesome miner create the default rules and run an extra script every minute or so to change them from allow to block rules.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will include that one but probably call it Cryptonight Fast2 as that looks like an even more common name for it. I will update SrbMiner and CastXMR for this as well.

Thanks for the update on this. I will make a change to the next release that include a change that hopefully will resolve the issue. The next release will soon be made available.

However, I don't have any way of reproducing this problem myself. Would it be possible for you to send me a screenshot?

Thanks for the suggestion but I will not add this version right now as it only supports beam. If I make it predefined I will have to support it for a very long time.

Most likely this will be a version that is relevant for only a week or two before it's part of the main lolMiner releases. In these cases, you will have to manually add it. All download links are available on Github so the setup process should be fast.

ConfigureWindowsDefenderExclusions is only for addings paths as exclusions to the anti-virus scan and that feature is always on by default. Otherwise Windows Defender will start removing all mining software it considers a thread.

"When ConfigureWindowsDefenderAllowedApps is set to true(default) the created rules are being created by awesome miner with Profile=All"
Correct assumption. In this case Awesome Miner makes a configuration that is proven to work well with mining

"when it is set to false the rules are being created by awesome miner with Profile=Private."
Not correct assumption. Awesome Miner do nothing to the Allowed Apps here. It will not touch the rules at all when this property is set to False. The behavior you experience is what Windows is doing when Awesome Miner no longer takes responsibility for configuring Defender for you. Any rules added at this point is what Windows is doing. This was the point I was trying to make above that when you tell Awesome Miner to not setup the Allowed Apps for you, you will be on your own and you will most likely run into issues with Defender unless you manually find a way to setup everything.

I'm have to admit that I'm not really an expert on all these Defender settings and the exact behaviors of when Windows is adding these rules automatically. If I knew more of the details, I would of course want to help out more with suggestions how to make these configurations. This is the reason why my answers above is based on everything from an Awesome Miner and mining point of view.
