Awesome Miner version 6.1.2
- Register awesomeminer:// as URL handler to support easier pool setup
What does it mean? Please describe in more detail. Thank.
This one is intended for pool operators to make it possible for them to put a link on their web sites that automatically configures their pools in Awesome Miner.
There will be two parts of it, one for the profit switcher (zpool, mph, zergpool, ...) and one for single coin pools (nanopool, suprnova, mph single coin pools). Right now it's only the profit switcher part that is done.
The profit switching part is the only part completed so far. If someone put a link like this on a web page, it will automatically trigger Awesome Miner to setup Zpool for example:
awesomeminer://pools/profitswitching/zpool
You can copy the link above and try it yourself by entering it in the Run dialog in Windows.
If you already have Awesome Miner with profit switching configured, it will only ask you for the wallet to use for Zpool and then enable it for the profit switcher.
If you just installed Awesome Miner and don't have any configuration at all, you will also only be asked to enter your wallet for Zpool. Then Awesome Miner will detect if you run AMD or nVidia and create a Managed Profit Miner for mining on the local computer with either the AMD or nVidia profile. This makes it much easier to get started with Awesome Miner as the entire process is:
1) Install Awesome Miner
2) Click on a link that I would like the pool operators to put on their web site
3) The link launches Awesome Miner where you enter your wallet in a dialog where the wallet is the only information you can enter
4) A Managed Profit Miner is created and you just have to press the Start button to start mining.
The plan is to have a similar concept for single coin pools and this is in the development pipeline right now. Awesome Miner will have predefined entries for a few of the most popular pools and also an option where any pool operator could define a similar template for Awesome Miner. When you click on a link Awesome Miner will show a dialog where you can select to add one or many of the coins the pool has, for example, Ethereum, ZCash and so on. After selecting you will be prompted for the information that this specific pool requires, for example a username or a wallet address. This should make it much easier to add pools and reduce the complexity of knowing when a username and when a wallet should be entered.
